I've seen quite a few adverts for MIDI2 keyboard controllers now, so has anyone tried interfacing with this yet? If so, what sort of problems have you had to resolve. -- Will J Godfrey {apparently now an 'elderly'}

Update of zita-jclient library

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, zita-jclient-0.5.2 is now available at <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html> This version is required for the 'freewheeling' classes in zita-jacktools to work. They will fail silently with older versions of zita-jclient. Ciao, -- FA

vocal tracks wanted

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, I'm working on an improved version if zita-at1 which most of you probably know as the x42-autotune plugin. The update, zita-at2, will preserve formants while retuning. To test and develop this I need some clean vocal tracks, in particular of female singers and also very low (bass) males. So if you have these available, I'd be very happy if you can share them. They won't be used of course for any other purpose than to improve the retuner algorithm. TIA for anything you can provide ! -- FA

Hi all, yet again, The 'Vee One Suite' of the so called 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer.
