Hi all,
This is yet another release of what started out as an experiment and has
become a pet project of mine -- desktop sounds for Linux.
Changelog:
*New sounds for Kmail, Kopete, Kdevelop, Ksysguard, exit session & minimize
window.
*Finalized 3 versions of the startup sound.
*New automated install script included
*Changed soundfile names to better reflect their function.
*Rearranged sounds for some events
*Remastered sounds for better balance
*Removed addon packages.
*PLEASE NOTE that Kopete sounds (and some others) are still
work-in-progress...
For those interested, you can find the package at its usual place:

New subject: [linux-audio-user] [ANN] QAMix 0.0.7e
Hello,
a new version of QAMix is available from
http://www.suse.de/~mana/kalsatools.html
This mixer can be freely configured via XML gui description files, see the
README for documentation. As usual with my software, it can be completely
controlled by MIDI controllers.
BTW QAMix can also be compiled as KAMix and in this flavour it is the
standard mixer for SUSE (9.0/9.1).
Greetings,
Matthias

Goinf to look RIGHT now! :)
This is the most awesome mixer app I have found on Linux Audio.
I there plans in the future to integrate the midi functions into the gui
and possibly some midi filters too?
Cheers

This is a good point. In principle the MIDI bindings should be defined in
a separate place, outside of the XML gui description. A dialog similar to
the ams control center would be nice. I'll have a look...
and possibly some midi filters too?
Which midi filters ? For mixer control ? Or general midi filters ?
BTW I have written a QMidiRoute utility which is a simple midi filter.

Regarding MIDI data filtering, here are some ideas:
Rechannelizing: The ability to redefine and limit channel reception
(i.e., allow only one specific channel through, redirect channel 1 to
channel 10, etc.)
Mapping: Map anything to anything, no matter how apparently
ridiculous it may seem. Velocity to mod, volume to aftertouch, note-on
to controller message, whatever). Only sysex messages are immune. ;)
Blocking: Stop reception of a certain data type, e.g., running
status bytes, program changes, etc.
Set MIDI delay, arpeggiation, range filtering & restriction, etc.
This question has come up before when I was surprised to find how
difficult it was to access *only* the drums from the Fluid soundfont via
Qsynth. Some synths are good about channelization, others aren't, so it
would be nice to have the means to set MIDI channel reception
externally. I keep coming back to the notion of the programmable MIDI
patch bay, or something like the Yamaha MEP4 (a MIDI event processing
unit, much fun).
Best,

Hi all,
Just to let you know that although I've been out of the loop regarding this
matter, just from reading this last post by Dave, I realized that many of
these things are already doable in RTMix (except for the obvious lack of
alsa's sequencer which obviously makes it relatively useless, but this
should be fixed soon).

Ico, maybe my short ALSA howto will tell you how to implement
ALSA seq functionality: www.suse.de/~mana/alsa090_howto.html
Section 4 to 7 should be all you need. There are even simple documented
code examples (complete C programs) for MIDI input, filtering and
sequencing. The longest example is about 200 lines for a simple
but complete FM synth.

Thanks Matthias!
I will do it soon, but it's not the know-how, but rather time that I
currently lack :-(
Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of July.

Hi Ico:
That would be cool, and I won't mind seeing those facilities in RTMix,
but I'd really like to have a programmable MIDI patch bay, and IMO
that's the place for the features we've been discussing. But if you get
there first, do let me know ! :)
Btw, I agree with the suggestion re: transposition too, that should be
another MIDI transformation available from my (currently) imaginary
patch bay...
Best regards,
dp
PS: Ico, I gave my student (Sean) your email address, hopefully he'll
get in touch soon.

So, why not prototype it in Pd, and if it's too slow write a C version
starting from Div's utilities (which already do transposition iirc)? I
mentioned this before but maybe you missed the response.

Another idea/wish:
- Transposing dependent on the last programm-change. That why I can use my
Roladn JV-880 from my PC...
