I would like to announce the release of flarps-0.1.0 Flarps is an arpeggiator for Linux. It uses JACK MIDI to generate melodies, and it can be controlled live by editing a text file in a simple text-editor. Flarps is designed around the notion of 'steps'. A step describes the relative distance between two MIDI notes, and has a horizontal and a vertical component. Vertically, a difference in pitch is specified, and horizontally a distance in time (rhythm). You can find a lot more information about flarps here: http://flarps.sourceforge.net/ You can download it directly at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/flarps/files/flarps-0.1.0.tar.bz2/download Or you can clone the git repository with: git clone git://flarps.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/flarps/flarps For bug reports, feature requests, support requests etc., please use the facilities at the sourceforge project site. New ideas or patches for this project are very welcome. If you want to collaborate on this project, you can find me on the linux-audio-dev mailing list. lievenmoors
