Q is a functional programming language based on the term rewriting calculus, see http://q-lang.sourceforge.net for details. This release provides a collection of sample multimedia programs written with Q: - QAudioPlayer, an audio player with waveform and FFT display - QMidiCC, a MidiShare patchbay and transport control - QMidiPlayer, a MidiShare-based MIDI player - QSCSynth, a GUI frontend for SuperCollider These programs also demonstrate how to embed a Q application in a KDE/Qt GUI. A recent KDE version is required (3.2 has been tested). And you'll need the Q core and multimedia packages, of course. Descriptions, screenshots and download links can be found here: http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html Download, for the impatient: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=96881&package_id=… Besides this, there are also new releases of Q-Audio (which now uses PortAudio v19, with support for Alsa and Jack) and Q-Synth (fixes for compatibility with recent SuperCollider versions in CVS). Moreover, FC1 and SuSE 9.1 RPMs for PortAudio v19 and SuperCollider are now also available for your convenience.
