Yes, in the makefile you can specify USE_QT4 instead of USE_QT3. It
doesn't work
right now, but it did a few weeks ago. Problem with QT4 is that copying
pixmap
to widget (bitblt) was so horribly slow. (And I did turn off double
buffering
plus some other other options, but it only helped a little bit.)
I don't know what the problem was, maybe my X setup is too old.
It's not surprising that bitblt is a little bit slower in QT4 since
their QPixmap is not a wrapper around the X Pixmap anymore. Maybe
that's the whole explanation. It was usable, but not very nice compared
to QT3.
File requesters and the FX selector are always made with QT4 though.
:-)
(IOW. Radium requires both QT3 and QT4 in the default setup.)
Radium is a free (as in speech) music editor with a novel interface.
It's inspired by trackers, but has fewer limitations and uses graphics
to show musical data.
The development of Radium started in 1999 on the Amiga platform. Since
then it has been ported to Linux.
Features:
Sound effects automation
Tempo automation
Velocity automation
Polyphonic tracks
Unlimited number of tracks.
Unlimited number of lines.
Unlimited note, tempo, and effect precision.
Undo/Redo
Zoom in/out.
Import standard midi files and MMD2/MMD3 modules
Note sequence effects such as transpose, quantitize, glizzando, invert
and reverse.
Support for Jack MIDI and ALSA MIDI. (Both at the same time.)
Configurable key bindings, menues, fonts, and colors.
Extension language support. Write programs that generates music or
modifies your songs

Hi,
Petri-Foo is a sampler for linux using JACK. It was originally a fork of
the Specimen sampler project. A new version is now available to download
from sourceforge.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/petri-foo/files/petri-foo-0.1.4.tar.bz2
This release brings further cosmetic changes improving the overall look
of Petri-Foo. The fan sliders have gone, so it must be time to
mention the precision modifying shift and ctrl keypresses for the
sliders.
If you missed the 0.1.3 release, here's a quick rundown of the changes:
* migrated from autotools to cmake
* updated and slimmed-down PHAT replacement called Phin.
* mousewheel waveform zooming
* velocity range setting for patch
* auto-preview (with optional resampling) in sample selector dialog
* recoded deprecated gdk calls to use cairo.
* lots and lots of bug fixes i've long since forgotten about
Some say it's the successor to Specimen and that the two shouldn't
co-exist. All I know is it's called Petri-Foo.
http://petri-foo.sourceforge.net
Cheers,
James.
Hi folks,
I have done some firewire bus analysis on the 003 Rack and posted last
year some of my findings on ffado.org wiki.
inter
Today I got back into it and managed to modify Clemens' snd-dice
driver to activate the 003R and made a standalone driver to play out
of 2 channels!
It's a non standard protocol, because you have to send particular
requests and wait for particular responses but I have documented as
much as I can.
Unfortunately during playback there are 2 outstanding issues:
1) There is extraneous low level noise when sound is routed through
channel 1 or channel 18 (first and last pcm channel). When sound is
routed into channel 1, noise is heard in channel 2 and channel 1
sounds normal. When sound is routed into channel 18, similar noise is
heard in channel 1 but nothing else is heard.
2) I don't know why but the device spits out a request on the bus
about 10 times per second which interrupts playback for very short
intervals causing choppy playback. I had a similar problem when
trying to make the 003R work under ffado. I have examined the
behaviour of the device under windows and it does not generate these
packets. Could it be the way the iso resources are being handled? I
am allocating a tx and rx stream separately since without both, the
device stops transmitting in under 2 seconds, while with this driver,
it stays stable indefinitely.
I could use some advice on where to look next.

IR: LV2 Convolution Reverb
http://factorial.hu/plugins/lv2/ir
IR is a no-latency/low-latency, realtime, high performance signal
convolver plugin especially for creating reverb effects.
This is a much overdue maintenance release with two versions under the
dual versioning scheme: 1.2.2 in the 1.2.x branch and 1.3.2 in the
1.3.x branch. From the ChangeLog:
Version 1.2.2 and 1.3.2 - 2012.07.02 18:05 CEST
This pair of versions contains the migration to use zita-convolver-3.x.x in
place of zita-convolver-2.0.0. This change guarantees that there are no data
overruns while running the plugin non-realtime (freewheeling / Ardour export).
NOTE: please read the plugin's webpage if you are confused about the
dual versioning
of IR (1.2.x vs 1.3.x).
Please see the website for further information regarding versions,
installation, caveats & usage.
Thanks,
Tom
Hello everybody! Finally it has happened, nearly two years from the
last stable release we are ready to present to you the final MusE 2.0
version. A lot has happened and changed, still the migration from 1.1
to 2.0 should be quite easy and definitely worth it.
The big changes since 1.1 are as follows:
* Moved to qt4, this affects the visuals and potentially improved portability
* Graphical automation in the arranger
* A new score editor
* MusE now defaults to using midi through Jack, -A enables native alsa support
* New style MDI gui with a bunch of configuration options to satisfy all tastes
* Redone midi editing tool dialogs with lots of new functionality
* Lots and lots and lots of internal small and big changes to improve
stability, speed and functionality
* PSIIF support (support for: probably something important I forgot)
A much condensed list of changes since the last beta are as follows:
- Sync fix: MusE now records tempo changes from externally clocked midi.
- Finally! Audio controller playback has smooooth frame resolution
even with large audio buffers.
- Feature: Midi control of audio paramters.
- Lots of automation improvements
- Switched to use JACK midi
- Added: -A switch: "Force inclusion of ALSA midi even if using Jack".
- Lots of leaks removed
- Added colorhints to iR and oR routing buttons
- Templates: File dialog: Lots of changes
- Lots of widget focus fixes
- Allow loading of DSSI synths in LADSPA browser.
- Midi editors: Added "Delta Mode" button to Note Info toolbar.

Also a big thanks to everybody who has helped translate, find and fix
bugs and otherwise been lending a helpful hand!
Happy creating/recording/playing/arranging with MusE!

ps.
And stay tuned for the inevitable 2.0.1 release ;)

MusE 2.0alpha
Hello everybody, we have a present for you, a new release of MusE.
The alpha indicates this is an early version so it's mainly
- a teaser to spread the word.
- an early adopters build.
- to welcome developers who want to port MusE to other platforms.
MusE has now been completely ported to the Qt4 architecture and we
(mainly Tim and Orcan)
are busy to make it even better than before, lots of gui stuff being reworked.
MusE now also sports a new version of the DeicsOnze, DX11 emulating
softsynth, up from version 0.2 to 1.0.
The homepage has received a new look that we hope will give a better
indication of what MusE is and does.
Do visit http://muse-sequencer.org.

This is the Release of Lisalo 1.0
Grab it here, no installing required:
git clone git://github.com/nilsgey/Lisalo.git
Lisalo - Linux Sampler Loader
Linux Sampler Loader is a command line program that loads entire
directories of sample files or takes instructions from a meta .lsl file
with relative paths to samples.
This program exists because you can't share linuxsampler lscp files
or even move files around on your own disk. Lscp files only work with
absolute paths and are too low level anyway.
Now you can quickly and easily load sampled instruments without
even starting a GUI. The lsl files are very simple, see example.lsl,
and can be shipped around with your sfz sample package like the
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (lsl file already included in this release)
Version 1.0 Licensed under GPLv3 by Nils Gey, June 2012
Only dependencies are Python and Linuxsampler.

Hi all,
I created this software in 2004, but I can't develop it anymore,
maintain it or even answer the mails I receive about it.
http://home.gna.org/fmithttp://gna.org/projects/fmit
I'm therefore looking for volunteer(s) to recover the project: manage
it, maintain it, develop it if motivated, etc.
The current state of the software is fairly good, I think. It has been
updated to Qt4 last year.
I think it's quite stable because most of the mails I receive from
users are about how to select the recording channel in their OS mixer
...
FMIT is accessible from Ubuntu repositories (universe) and was
accessible under Fedora but they removed it since I can't maintain it
anymore.
Please look at the website for more details and screenshots.
Besides the fact that I want it to stay open-source, I don't have
particular wish about its future (hmmm, stay simple and expandable
maybe).
So, if someone is interested, please contact me.
All the best,
Gilles
