I'm pleased to announce the release of guitarix2-0.42.0
A virtual guitar amplifier for Linux running with jack (Jack Audio
Connection Kit) released under the
GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation;
either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
ZamAudio <https://github.com/zamaudio> meets Guitarix
https://github.com/zamaudio
For this release Damien Zammit from ZamAudio has reworked our tube
emulation.
This improved beside the overall sound, the dynamic responses of the
different tube simulations.
Be aware please, that this may break your existing presets, but,
we believe that the improvement in sound is it worse
to force you to readjust your presets to match the new tube sims.
Further news are:
Reworked French translation by Olivier Humbert
Add DC-Blocker on the Input
Add Output Limiter
Add Volume controls for the Power Amp plugin
Fix version checks for needed packages
Fix several small Bugs and hopefully don't introduce to much new ones

Every channel use it's own Color to display the played Notes per channel.
MIDI File player/recorder
Integrated Fluidsynth support.

Allow to select the key-size for the MIDI keyboard (Big/Normal/Small) to
better match the screen settings.
Mamba is released under the BSD Zero Clause License license
The GUI is build on libxputty - A damn tiny abstraction Layer to create
X11 window/widgets with cairo surfaces
https://github.com/brummer10/libxputty
To build Mamba from source, the following dependencies must be meat.
* libfluidsynth-dev
* libc6-dev
* libsmf-dev
* libcairo2-dev
* libx11-dev
* liblo-dev
* libsigc++-2.0-dev
* libjack-(jackd2)-dev
* libasound2-dev
So, here is the project page:

Hi,
AMS is still interesting software. Going strong since 2002? I'm using it
now to try to understand sound synthesis a little better and I've always
liked the sound of it. So kudos to the developers!
All the LV2 alternatives fail on me so far, moreover they're doesn't
seems to be specially designed to be a modular synth like AMS, with it's
nice cables. They seems to handle it more like, we have LV2 plugins, and
look if you want you can modular synthesis with it (and then you
encounter problems with the AMS-LV2 port).
Anyway, I can't find a place to report AMS bugs. The issue tracker on
SourceForge seems to be closed. I've reported two to Debian, but the
maintainer hints to me that he is not able to solve it. Therefor I'll
report them here. Maybe someone can look into it, that would be awesome.

That's why the custom Keymap editor is implemented, so you could create
the key map which best suite you. The given implemented key maps been
just the essentials.
Hi
Mamba release v1.9 is out
Mamba is a Virtual MIDI keyboard with some extended, unique features.
This is a quick fix release as I've forgotten to implement jack MIDI
input forwarding to ALSA MIDI output.
Also it implement proper French translation thanks to Olivier Humbert.
