[This has been announced on LAA already, but I gather crossposts are expected.] We'd like to announce the first alpha release of QSynth, an attractive Qt front-end to fluidsynth. QSynth is brought to you by Rui Nuno Capela, developer of qjackctl, together with Richard Bown and Chris Cannam of the Rosegarden team. QSynth provides a simple front and configuration interface to the fluidsynth software synthesiser to allow persistent storage of fluidsynth configuration (and soundfonts) as well as providing visual feedback and front panel controls for software synthesiser parameters. QSynth can be used either as a standalone player or in conjunction with any compatible sequencers. For more details, screenshots, mailing list details and to download the source code please visit: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net Requirements are Qt3.1.1 and libfluidsynth. Please let us know how you get on with it! Chris
