Re: [LAU] Qmidiarp news

Hello all, This is to give an update on the qmidiarp development status. Since the last discussions here there are mainly the following new features: Arps: o There are now three trigger modes selectable from a new combobox:  1) No trigger: the original continuous mode  2) Kbd Restart: the arp will restart its loop on every stakato note     change, i.e. when the previous note is released before pressing a new key.  3) Kbd Trigger: the arp will restart and be triggered by the pressed note. o The latency should be 2 ticks now, so around 10 milliseconds, with which I haven't found lost notes so far even with four arps plus lfo running in parallel. o The arp patterns (along many other controls) can be changed by a midi-learnable controller, on the fly. As it seems the alsamodular mailing lists are not much followed anymore, so I will need some support to convince my own team to release it or setup a new dedicated project page. So please test, bash it, critique it, praise it. Installation is: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@alsamodular.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsamodular co -P qmidiarp autoreconf -i make sudo make install Have fun Frank The resume of changes since 0.0.2 is as follows. New Features  o Arpeggio pattern preset infrastructure  o Synchronized MIDI LFO modules added    LFOs have calculated and drawable waveforms, selectable frequency,    amplitude, offset, time resolution and length  o Synchronized step sequencer modules added    Step sequencer can be transposed and velocity-modulated by received    notes, sequence can be drawn on the fly  o Pianoroll-type display of arp patterns and cursor line  o Envelope function for chord arpeggios with high polyphony  o Latch mode or Footswitch for holding notes in arpeggio buffer  o Keyboard-triggered or -restarted arpeggiator mode  o Input note delay strongly reduced making QMidiArp suitable for live    play  o MIDI-learnable control of many live-relevant functions  o MIDI realtime clock slave synchronization  o JACK transport client synchronization  o Event log entries are color-coded, optional MIDI Clock event display  o Re-designed graphical user interface:  all modules and dialogs    are dockable floatable windows, main and file icon toolbars added  o New .qmidiarprc file containing GUI settings, user arp patterns and    last file path  o Save and SaveAs functions with modification monitoring  o All relevant session parameters stored in new .qmax XML session file  o Manual pages in English, French and German  o Handler for SIGINT added to handle unsaved or changed files more    carefully at program termination.  o Handler for SIGUSR1 added to provide support for LADISH level 1.  o Separate threads for ALSA Sequencer Queue handler and arpeggio engine General Changes  o Port form Qt3 to Qt4 library.  o MIDI Channels and ALSA port id's displayed from 1...16  o On-the-fly tempo changes are disabled _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
