Does anyone know of software that can generate MIDI messages from a touchpad?
The idea would be to send CCs to a sequencer or soft synth, but being able to
send it to an external hardware device would also be very useful.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
I just want to give a shout out to this for those who don't know.
It is a fork from Audacity maintaining FOSS with no telemetry, and pushing
forward with development. It's a substantial chunk of code, and unfortunately
somewhat above my 'pay grade' otherwise I'd be in there!
However I do now use it in place of Audacity and am not seeing any issues so
far. If I do hit any, I will of course file a bug report. For those not liking
the colours there is now a menu of different themes (first time default is a
dark one).
I know there is a desire to get 'proper' Jack support, rather than going
through Port Audio but it's not there yet. However, they apparently have
pipewire support - I don't use it so don't know how well that works.

And even though QJackControl Has ways to deal with PulseAudio, I write Jack commands in scripts. Of course PulseAudio kept getting reinstalled when I installed certain other programs. So maybe turning it off is your best bet.
I did not even know you could stop pulseaudio!
After:
$ systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service
# and `systemctl status --user pulseaudio.service` to
# double check
`ecasound -i ~/some-file.ogg -o alsa` worked! It is a cumbersome but
it will do. Thanks

Version 2.3.0 - Painted Bunting
There's been a major overhaul of the graphics for better visibility.
We've added a very complete user-definable colour theme system.
There is indication when any rotary control or slider is not at its default.
Many controls are now high resolution yet both forward and backward compatible
with older Yoshimi versions.
All the documentation has been revised.
Full details are in /doc/Yoshimi_2.3.0_features.txt
Yoshimi source code is available from either:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi
Or:
https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi
Full build instructions are in 'INSTALL'.
Our list archive is at:
https://www.freelists.org/archive/yoshimi
To post, email to:
yoshimi(a)freelists.org
Also, while there are only two themes that are immediately available, there
are others that can be imported from /doc/examples/themes/

Hello lists,
is anyone using `ecasound` with PulseAudio?
When I try something as simple as
ecasound -i somefile.ogg -o alsa
I get underruns and other unwanted behaviours (e.g. playback is too fast).
ecasound: v2.9.3
OS: Debian bookwork
Thanks in advance

ov-client 0.20.2 has been released.
ovbox is a system for network music collaboration. It comes with
3D-audio, individual spatial mixes, built-in multi-channel audio
recorder and integration of DIY low-cost, low-delay head tracking.
The package "ov-client" consists of a command line and GUI client for
the ovbox system.
Packages are available for archlinux (new! Thanks to gri573),
debian/Ubuntu and MacOS, next to images for headless Raspberry Pi setups.

spectmorph-0.6.0 has been released.
The new main features are:
- SpectMorph now provides a CLAP plugin.
- A filter with different filter modes was added.
- A new, more flexible modulation system was added.
- SpectMorph now provides visual feedback for modulated parameters.
Video Tutorial for 0.6.0: https://youtu.be/watch?v=scKrf0o6e6k
What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to
construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a
flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a
trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute.
SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be
combined using morphing.
SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version
2.1 or later
Integrating SpectMorph into your Work
-------------------------------------
SpectMorph is currently available for Linux, Windows and macOS (Intel
and Apple Silicon), with CLAP/LV2/VST plugins. Under Linux, there is
also JACK Support.

Download: http://www.spectmorph.org/downloads
There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing
between instruments.

Hi
I've just implemented Scala support into Mamba (Virtual Midi keyboard
and Midi Live Looper for Jack Audio Connection Kit)
Those interested in microtonal tuning's could load a Scala tuning file
now via drag n' drop or via the file manager. The Keyboard layout will
reflect the tuning ratios of the loaded file.

Hi all,
The 0.7.0 release of QMidiArp now ships with new LV2 plugin UIs based on
the robtk toolkit by Robin Gareus for the first time. The UIs will get
installed in parallel to the original X11 UIs that were still based on
Qt. The new robtk plugin UIs are independent of Qt and do not link to
system-provided libraries whose API changes frequently. For building
them you need some new fellows though: glu, gl, cairo, pango and
pangocairo headers are now required. The cmake or configure script will
tell you.
Note that with the new UIs, arpgeggiator patterns cannot be edited. But,
the provided presets can of course be selected in the LV2 host. If
needed you can add new patterns for the LV2 Arp module manually by
editing the <lv2dir>/qmidiarp_arp.lv2/qmidiarp_arp.ttl file, presets are
at the end of the file. All other modules and functions should work as
before.
Enjoy
