Release 0.05.9-1 :
* add Midi learn (by Andreas Degert)
* add internal direct convolution unit with 7 filter kernel (amp models)
* add LADI level1 support
* add a new light skin
* reworked multi thread handling(by Andreas Degert)
* reduced CPU usage for Oscilloscope
To the midi learn function: a middle mouse button click on a controller pop's
up a little widget, move the midi controller you will use, the controller number
is shown in the widget. Press OK when you've done. That's it.
By the way, a right click on a controller pop up a spinbox for direct enter
the value with your keybord.
have fun

Hi all,
I've committed to SVN an update to arpage which fixes a problem in which
arpage would not recognize a note-on event with zero-velocity as a note-off
event.
If anyone is experiencing problems with MIDI keyboards apparently not
sending note-offs, you should probably pick this up from the SVN repository.
But having said that, I'll probably have a dot release within a few days so
that I can get the fix into the PPA.
If anyone has ideas for something (simple!) they want added/fixed, let me
know and I'll try to get it into the dot release.
Thanks,
Mark Vitek

hi...
i am working on a c++0x DSP library.
variadic templates prove to be a nice way to handle
the massive function inlining required to build efficient samplebased
processing graphs.
the idioms i am currently using for the containers require gcc-4.5
though, so this is still a bit of a show-stopper :)
its still in a pretty early state. but you can already see where its
heading.

Hi,
I recently was testing out Seq24 >> Arpage >> Yoshimi, and it sounded
terribly out of time. This is on a fairly new Gentoo install so I
wondered if something was misconfigured. I also tried the first release
of Arpage and same result.
Then I noticed the latency of the Jack settings in use was quite high and
reset it to give a much lower latency which completely fixed the timing
problems the above seq/arp/synth setup was having.
The next test involved the Dino sequencer, but before doing so I
attempted to change the Jack settings to give a really bad latency,
170ms+. Jack could not start with such high latencies - the Alsa driver
would not load IIRC.
I reset the Jack settings for the worst latency I could get with Jack
starting, but the timing in Dino although far from perfect, was nowhere
near as bad as Arpage.
1) Is there any way to improve Jack Midi timing when the audio driver has
a high latency?
2) What is the reason the Alsa driver/Jack would not start when the
settings give a big 170ms+ latency?
BTW, I'm doing this stuff so I can program with Jack Midi.
TIA,
James.

Jorge,
I hate to admit how distant I've been from Freewheeling.
Life keeps changing
and I find myself moving on.
I don't think I will do any development anytime soon.
Is there someone willing to continue on?

Hello, I propose to collect in this thread a list of audio programs
which could give a great contribute to the linux audio experience, but
can't due to halted development, leaving them in a usable or less
usable state. This list could then be used for developers in search of
some worthy/interesting project to contribute to.
I propose two programs who aren't developed anymore:
rezound
jack-rack
I really love them and I feel sorry there's no developer taking care
of them.
Hope this can be useful
Renato
I think this has some potential if it were realized as an application
with it's own window space and dedicated widgets rather than as a bash
script utilizing xterms and window-manager window-placement. It maps the
positions of the popup xterms to note-pitch and note-velocity.
I don't know though, it's probably been done already..
I sent it to LAU..
Here's the text describing it further, which probably is a good idea to
read quickly:

Here's the actual BASH script:
