Howdy! It's been a long summer hasn't it? Bad news is that laudable 'spring cleaning' has slipped a bunch and in fact, is still on going with no end on sight, exactly as the 'uber-procrastinator' predicted! ;) Nevertheless, QmidiCtl, QmidiNet 0.1.0 are out now! This release marks the fact that QmidiCtl [1] is now made available from the official Maemo 5 repository [3]. So that you can download and install it directly from your N900 [4]. You'll find it on the Multimedia section. Second, QmidiCtl [1] is now fully configurable with regard to which MIDI events are sent and/or recognized. It's not MMC-exclusive anymore. Third, QmidiNet [2] also talks JACK-MIDI now. Although (very) experimentally. And you don't have to opt out on ALSA-MIDI. You can have both MIDI interfaces running as long as you please. Finally, Paul de Vries shows us a magnificent video re. How To: Setup QmidiCtl on The Nokia N900 with Renoise [5]. Alas, it's on Windows and using ipMIDI [8] as the gateway back-end. No sweat :) If Renoise [6] is to run on Linux he would use QmidiNet [2] or multimidicast [7]. Take note that the latter only does ALSA MIDI and doesn't handle MIDI SysEx messages as certain as MMC is. Kudos to Paul.
