MusE 2.2 - 2015-01-06
Hi All!
Following our plan of making monthly releases. Ah, I mean yearly releases...
Well, actually, it's been nearly two years since last stable release. Sorry.
Here we are anyway with a new release of MusE, and we think it's a good one!
Since last we have moved to github and Andrew has joined the team to, among
other things implement LV2 support, which he has done excellently. We are
quite happy with the current state and music has been recorded with MusE like
never before, some demonstrations are listed below.
Major feature improvements of this release includes:
* Support for LV2 Synths and effects
- effects are supported both in Effect rack and in Arranger
- State interface
- Worker interface.
- Instance-access.
- KX studio Programs interface + extended programs interface to support
per-channel bank/patch change (only Yoshimi now supports this feature).
- Common must-have features: Atom, buf-size, event, options, uri-map, urid.
+ Other extensions: CV type lv2 ports
+ LV2_TIME__Position
+ Atom_Event_Transfer support for plugin<->UI communication
+ LV2 path MAP and MAKE extensions
+ LV2 LOG extension
- UI interface. Supported UI subtypes:
+ QT4
+ GTK2
+ GTKMM2
+ X11
+ External interfaces (from kx studio specs).
+ idle callbacks
* Yet another MAJOR audio engine and plugin/synth process chain re-write
- Track controllers (vol, pan) now sample-accurate and near noise-less
Numerous bug fixes and minor enhancements:
- Metronome with accent clicks and replaceable clicks
- Synths rearranged in separate menus
- Reworked the PluginDialog to use a ui file and give more filter
possibilities
- Added [HOME] button to file open dialog
- Ignore undo/redo while recording
- Fix crash reported by LakeIshikawa: Pressing delete while clicking or
dragging events or parts
- Fixed copy/paste problem: Paste copies not clones, if the original
parts/tracks have been deleted.
- More commands support Undo/Redo, like setting global tempo.
- Some new scripts, RemoveAftertouch, TempoDelay
- Fix song not 'dirty' on many operations (close was not prompting to save).
- Instrument Editor now basically complete: Added Initialization Sequence
editor.
- Sysex event editor now allows selection from pre-defined Instrument Sysex
list.
- Revised and edited Roland SD-50.idf by Patrick (split into GM2/nonGM2).
- MusE now imports GM2 midi files. (Properly selects GM2 instrument.)
- Added a visual metronome to Bigtime
- Added line drawing of tempo in graphical master track editor
- Fixed bug (issue #342 Moving Aux sends crashes muse)
- Added more keyboard shortcuts in midi editors
- Mods/fixes to Midi Input Transformator plugin:
- When midi in is enabled in drum editor the selected track is moved along
with the triggered key
- Fixed bug with playback of drums clicking on notes in the new drum editor,
it was playing the wrong instrument
- MESS synths (esp Deicsonze): Controls (like Track Info program) and synth
controls now mirror each other, both ways.
- Deicsonze softsynth: Fixed: Not remembering settings + ladspa plugin
settings, midi controllers moved to NRPN14 type.
- Native VST: Call idle periodically. Makes some plugins like Glitch work,
as per LAD mail.
- Change window title when there are unsaved changes
- Add auto-save feature, when enabled tries to save after 5 minutes
- Added pitch control to SimpleDrums, first version
- Fixed Ctrl+arrows in the arranger so the track list is scrolled

Hi all, noob here
MY END GOAL: Send 10 channels between OSX computers using jack
(Reason ---> jack ---> home network ----> jack ----> max/msp)
BEST ATTEMPT:
Set number of jackrouter channels in JackPilot (Can't find how to do this
via command line)
SLAVE: jack_load netadapter -i "-c -P10" //starts jack
MASTER: jack_load netmanager
MASTER: jack_load audioadapter
Route stuff in qjackctrl
RESULT:
Works but tons and tons of overruns, sounds horrible. Can't configure
because I have to do it in the terminal and can't find any documentation
for the drivers. Can't do it in qjackctl because netadapter and netmanager
don't pop up in the driver list.
What am I missing?
*Is there any clear set of man pages or documentation I can follow?* I
can't find any complete reference for jack. Anyway, I hope this is clear
enough. Sorry if I'm missing something stupid but I don't know where to go
to educate myself.

Hello all,
Merry Christmas and (soon) happy new year!
I was wondering if you guys would have a few advice for graphic card?
My laptop blew up a few days ago, so I'm building a pc to replace it
(haven't done that in years) - I'm not a gamer, the only things me and my
wife are doing are music production and photo editing, only running Linux.
Any advice between Radeon or GeForce? Which driver is good and doesn't
disturb Jack or audio latency?
Thanks in advance,
Aurélien

Thanks for the screenshot, I think that cleared it up.
The midi track you have created is set to output to the M Audio device, see
the Port column in the Arranger.
First change the midi track Port to the Fluidsynth device
then arm(record enable) the midi track, it's the red dot in the R column.
Now when you play the keyboard it should make sound.
I think I covered most of this in one of the midi tutorials (that are
getting old fast...) here:

It was a contribution from a user, the file seems to contain all patch
names and some midi controllers for this hardware synth.

Hello,
Is it possible at all to use any regular MIDI external keyboard to
input notes into the Muse sequencer ? I have a fluidsynth flute sound
loaded in Muse and it can play by dragging the mouse across the gui
keyboard. I have qjackctl and also launched a2j, but there's no Muse
in sight to make a connection between a M-Audio keyboard and something
in Muse. Is Muse a sequencer that only works using a software pen to
draw notes ?
Hi Albert,
I don't want to be a nuisance, but there's been no news for a long time, and I'm
wondering what the situation is.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
