Re: [LAD] help on creating MIDI from linux input events

[LAD] Alesis AudioLink

by Michał Kloch

Hi. Has anybody tried one of the Alesis AudioLink usb cables with Linux? You can see the product here: http://www.alesis.com/audiolink They say you need no drivers to use it with Windows or Mac, any idea if that's the same with Linux? I'm using Ubuntu at the moment.

[LAD] uli-plugins 0.1 release - A series of LV2 plugins

by Ulrich Lorenz Schlüter

Hi, I proudly released version 0.1 of uli-plugins, a collection of LV2 plug ins. ULI is the abbreviation for *U*lis-*L*v2-*I*nserts. The release contains a simple series of logic gates. Namely an AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR and a NOT. It's hosted on sourceforge: http://uli-plugins.sourceforge.net Regards Uli

Re: [LAD] help on creating MIDI from linux input events

by Miguel Morales

Hmm, so you're saying that the device sends keyboard events. How did you find out which kind of data it sends out? Sending out midi note events is easy with RTMidi, check out the section on midi out section. It contains a section on MIDI note output. I don't have much experience on grabbing keyboard type events using a daemon. I would recommend finding a cross platform solution. If not try finding out how to read keyboard events while being a daemon. Like a keylogger I guess. C++ isn't much of a jump from C so it should be easy to pick up and go.

Very straightforward. > http://sourceforge.net/projects/midimon/ Thank you, I'll have a look in this. What I can't understand is if it is possible, with the jack API, to actually *create* midi note on/off messages. The examples I've seen (like midimon too, it seems to me) only handle (reroute etc.) midi coming from other sources, like an external keyboard or another program. In my case instead I'll have to actually create those messages, as for example midi sequencers do. May this is the reason why programs that generate midi (seq24 for example) use alsa? (see my confusion in point 1) in first message) Renato

[LAD] Denemo 0.8.6 release - Music Notation Editor

by Nils Gey

Sorry for the crossposting, but the statistics show that only some people have subscribed to all three lists. ------------ Just after one month the Denemo project has released a new version of its music notation program. Denemo 0.8.6, which is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS (via third-party builds) as source and binaries. The software is distributed under the GPL. Denemos notation-functionality is ready for daily and professional use and aims to be the only tool you ever need for notation and an Open Source alternative to Finale, Sibelius or other unfree software, because the tools for producing art and culture should be free. Notable new features are - Downloading new commands and edit scripts between releases - MIDI out, Tempo and Volume changes and insertion of arbitrary MIDI messages at any point in the music. - Edit lyrics in text editor and see the syllable placement as you type. Multiple verses per voice allowed. - Pasting LilyPond text directly into the Denemo window. By pasting the actual music text a Denemo editable score can be created from almost any LilyPond file. - With JACK, the playback starts from the cursor or plays back the selection if there is one. All this happens withoutre-creating the MIDI data, and in any case without generating external files. Official support, beneath our website, is avaible via our IRC channel #denemo on irc.freenode.net. For future improvements our team searches for additional developers. If you are interested in notation and midi-sequencing please join the team! Website: http://www.denemo.org Additional information: GNU Denemo is a free, GPL, open source music notation editor for Linux, MacOS and Windows that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver. You can compose, transcribe, arrange, listen to the music and much more. Music can be typed in at the PC-Keyboard, or played in via MIDI controller, or input acoustically into a microphone plugged into your computer's soundcard.
