Hi
Mamba release v1.5 is out
Mamba is a Virtual MIDI keyboard with some extended, unique features.
So it could load/play and save MIDI files, it visualize the played files
on the keyboard, were it use a unique color for each channel. you could
visualize a single channel, or all together at once.
It could record your playing and play it back as endless loop. You could
record a loop for each channel while the other channels still play.
Note, that the loops don't be synced. So this is not for composing
classic music, but to create Psychedelic Trance floors. Truly you could
save your work as MIDI file and rework it in the DAW of your choice.
It will record as well all incoming MIDI messages, so you could use it
as well to record your external MIDI controller.

Mamba also includes support by fluidsynth, you could load a soundfont
and directly play along.
It include controls for the fluidsynth reverb and chorus, and a selector
to select a instrument/patch for each channel.
Mamba will keep it's settings, so once a soundfont is loaded, on the
next start you could just play along with the keyboard. You could load a
new soundfont at any time.
To use it as a plain MIDI keyboard again, you just need to exit
fluidsynth via the menu and connect Mamba with the synth of your choice.

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
So, here is the project page:
https://github.com/brummer10/Mamba
and here you'll find the last release:

Hi
Mamba release v1.4 is out
Mamba - Virtual MIDI keyboard and MIDI file player/recorder
Mamba is not only a Virtual MIDI keyboard, it's also a MIDI looper. It
allow you to record, for example a bass loop on one channel and then
play along on a other channel with a piano or whatever.
You could save your loops to MIDI files if you wish, in any case, Mamba
save your last record and load it on the next start on default.
Mamba is also a MIDI visualizer, it shows not only what you play, it
shows as well incoming events. It also allow you to load MIDI files,
play them in loop and show the output on the keyboard. You could select
which channel you would monitor on the keyboard. You could as well
monitor all channels at once.
Mamba includes also support by fluidsynth, you could load a soundfont
and directly play along.
Mamba will keep it's settings, so once a soundfont is loaded, on the
next start you could just play along with the keyboard. You could load a
new soundfont at any time. You could as well exit fluidsynth to use
Mamba as plain Virtual MIDI keyboard with the synth of your choice.

The FFADO project announces the availability of FFADO version 2.4.4.
This is a non-critical update. The only change since version 2.4.3 is the
disabling of the optional device registration dialog. The data gathered is
of peripheral value these days, making its ongoing collection unnecessary.
FFADO version 2.4.4 is available as a tarball:
http://ffado.org/files/libffado-2.4.4.tgz
Formal release notes are at
