[linux-audio-dev] initial announcement: softwerk 2.0.0

As mentioned briefly, Dave Phillips innocently asked me about SoftWerk while we were riding on the train from Paris to Bordeaux last week. I thought "how hard could it be to get it working again?" and thereby hangs a tale (and a tail). To cut a short story shorter: http://linuxaudiosystems.com/softwerk/softwerk-2.0.0.tar.bz2 is an *initial* re-release of my "analog pattern MIDI sequencer". It is modelled on the Doepfer Schaltwerk, a gorgeous beast of a machine, except that SoftWerk can do everything the SchaltWerk can, and then quite a bit more :) To compile it, you will need (i think): gtk+ 1.2 ALSA with sequencer support gcc/g++ < 3.4 This is a provisional release - I believe that this tarball will ccompile and install and be usable by most people, but what I'd like is for a few people to try it out before I update sourceforge and make other announcements. The documentation at softwerk.sf.net is still reasonably accurate, except that mouse motion is no longer used for editing step values, only typed numerical values or the arrow keys. have fun, --p
