Re: [LAU] Composite 0.006.1 Released

I am pleased to announce the release of Composite 0.006.1. This is a bug-fix release. ABOUT ----- Composite is (or, will be) a software application/system for real-time, in-performance sequencing, sampling, and looping. Currently the main feature is the LV2 Sampler that supports Hydrogen drumkits. CHANGES ------- * Fix FTBFS: t_AudioPort test missing link to QtCore * Fix FTBFS Song.cpp: Replace using of QString(int) with QString(const char*) * LV2 Sampler: Initialize QCoreApplication * LV2 Sampler: Fix crash by moving Logger instance to module level * LV2 Sampler: Check LV2 Event types and add extension meta-data * tests: t_AudioPort had a degenerate test * tests: t_SeqScript now passes (was failing as dev reminder) * Replace -lQtCore with ${QT_LIBRARIES} in build system STATUS ------ Composite is a project with a large vision. Here is the status of the different components: composite-gui: Alpha (i.e. "a broken version of Hydrogen") compoiste_sampler (LV2): production/stable, no GUI libTritium: Not a public API, yet. LINKS ----- Composite: http://gabe.is-a-geek.org/composite/ Plugin Docs: file:///home/gabriel/code/composite-planning/plugins/sampler/1 Tarball: http://gabe.is-a-geek.org/composite/releases/composite-0.006.tar.bz2 Git: http://gitorious.org/composite git://gitorious.org/composite/composite.git HOW TO USE THE PLUGIN --------------------- To use the plugin, you need the following: * A program (host) that loads LV2 plugins. * A MIDI controller. * An audio output device. :-) The following LV2 hosts are known to work with this plugin: Ingen http://drobilla.net/blog/software/ingen/ ardour3 (alpha) http://ardour.org/ lv2_jack_host http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/ zynjacku http://home.gna.org/zynjacku/ If you don't have a hardware MIDI controller, I suggest using jack-keyboard (http://jack-keyboard.sourceforge.net/). The first time you run the sampler, it will create a file ~/.composite/data/presets/default.xml, which will set up presets on Bank 0 for the two default drum kits (GMkit and TR808EmulationKit). Sending MIDI PC 0 and PC 1 will switch between the two kits. See composite_sampler(1) for more information on setting up presets. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --------------- With this release, I would especially like to thank: Alessio Treglia - For dutifully reporting bugs, submitting patches, and *patiently* waiting for me to review them. Paul Davis - For working with me on the crashes that were discovered on ardour3 alpha. Peace, Gabriel M. Beddingfield
