[LAD] OpenOctaveMidi2 (OOM2) beta release

Deep in the basement of the OpenOctaveProject, the team have been working hard, to bring OpenOctaveMidi into the modern age. From the new interface, to the workflow features, OOM2 is the result of a great deal of hard work, and thought. In our Project journey towards a great Linux Audio pipeline, OOM2 represents the next important step. With the help of our platinum sponsor TSI, we were afforded two full time developers to help with the task of getting to where we are today. We would like to thank TSI for their continued longterm support and encouragement. OOM2 linear Midi and Audio sequencer. We announce the beta release of the 2nd version of the OpenOctaveMidi sequencer, known as OOM2. After a change of codebase, a complete rebuild of the user interface, and the addition of new features and functions, we're proud to present this version as our initial beta release. OOM2 is a linear Midi and Audio sequencer for the Linux operating system in both 32 and 64bit. OOM2 uses the following: * JACK-audio - http://jackaudio.org * JACK-midi - for midi support * DSSI - synth plugins * VST(i) - synth plugins (through DSSI, for the moment. We're more interested in native linuxplugins, so the DSSI-VST implementation may be removed.) * ALSA-midi - for midi support * QT4.6.0 or later (earlier versions may work, but are not tested) You can download OOM2 from our github repository at: git://github.com/ccherrett/oom.git Use the command: git clone git://github.com/ccherrett/oom.git to install the source in an empty directory of your choosing, and follow the build instructions in the Readme file. Please note we're adding new commits each day, and more features are coming very soon, hence the Beta release notice. We hope you enjoy using OOM2, and should you have anything you'd like to report, please send an email to: development(a)openoctave.org We can also be found on irc at #openoctave (freenode) Visit www.openoctave.org to find out more!
