I somehow seem to have acquired a non-context sort-of-patch to add JACK audio and ALSA
MIDI support to the orphaned last release of Beatrix. Many thanks to whomever did that!
I had to make a few minor modifications of my own, which, sadly, I'm not allowed to
redistribute either.
Basically I added support for Note On Velocity 0's instead of Note Off's, fixed a
denormal problem in the whirl (the Leslie) function, made the ALSA MIDI reject events on
MIDI channels greater than what it could support, whacked the reverb since I don't use
it anyway, and adjusted the Leslie SLOW/FAST code so that it works with the Modwheel (as
I'm used to from AZR-3, making Beatrix a drop-in replacement for it).
And, to celebrate, I created a small demo:

Please excuse the crappy drumming: I tapped in the drums on pads, since this was all done
in Mplayer and jack_capture, no sequencers used... hence the clipping at the end too.
Happy holidays to all!
