Hi all. Ive been working on a linux-port of IRCAMs OpenMusic lately, and think its approaching a useful state now. I would very much appreciate it if some of the brave ones out there did some testing and sent me feedback: http://forge.ircam.fr/p/OM6/downloads/label/421/ The tarball you'll find there includes the OM-6.7 image, source code, a README and the various resources it uses (.so's, libs, fonts, icons, help-files, tutorials, other). This beta is not prepared to be installed anywhere, only to be run from inside the directory where you unpack it (type ./OM_6.7_beta_4 ... ). Plan is to make an installable version once the dust settles some. Theres one thing which needs installing to work however, the music-fonts used in the various editors and factories etc. Theres an .rpm here: http://forge.ircam.fr/p/OM6/downloads/get/omfonts-1.0-1.noarch.rpm.zip - which hopefully takes care of the fonts (theyre also available for manual install in the tarball). The .rpm installs them (4 .ttf-files) inside its own folder /usr/share/fonts/omfonts/* The present version uses JACK for audio + midi I/O, and will try to start a JACK server if its not already running. To get any sound from the usual midi-ports, the linux-port uses libfluidsynth, and attempts to load one of the standard soundfonts into it. However you should be able to route midi-output to any client you prefer (with jack-midi support). Thanks for any feedback. Cheers, -anders
