This is supposed to be the last for the 0.5.x series, so please, test it and if you find any bug, report it as soon as possible. New features includes a midi thru KAction (midi thru is easily accessed) follow song, copy & paste, .mid export and input selection. It can be downloaded from http://www.monasteriomono.org/programs/kmiditracker/ thanks. Description of KMiditracker, from the web page: ---------------------------------------------- KMidiTracker is a MIDI Step Sequencer. A Step Sequencer is a sequencer in witch the MIDI notes are delivered at regular time intervals, usually a 1/4th of a quarter note. As such it is not as versatile as a regular sequencer as [Rosegarden], but allows very easy creation of loops and sequences. The use of the [MIDI Clock] allows several sequencers communicate clock events, so it is possible to join several sequencers, with diverse focus, to make one single synchronized composition. KMidiTracker is similar to trackers like [FastTracker], [ScreamTracker] or [Buzz], but only the Tracker; no actual sound is emmited. Only MIDI signals. The Tracker divides songs in tracks, each one have several patterns that are arranged as sequences. Time advance in steps that depend on tempo, and in each time step a new MIDI note may sound, or a controller event may be sent. You can have several columns of notes and/or controllers for each pattern, and pattern length is configurable. KMidiTracker Features ===================== * MIDI oriented Step Sequencer * ALSA MIDI input/output * Graphical Controller edition * MIDI Master Clock (master and slave) * Linux RTC timer or MMC if avaliable for perfect timing * Load/Save * Standard MIDI file export (saves to .mid) * MIDI thru * Keyboard input * Copy & Paste (only notes, not controllers nor sequences, yet) * Controllers include MIDI Controllers, SysEx Controllers and PitchBend * Tracks and columns in patterns muteable * SysEx parameters. Can be loaded from binary file, manually inserted in hex, or captured from midi input. * Variable Time Signature * Follow song option * KDE application: easy menu, toolbar and shortcuts changes * Everything can be changed in realtime: notes, arrangement, loops, controllers, load/save, new tracks or patterns, delete tracks or patterns... * GPL license From drobilla at connect.carleton.ca Mon Sep 19 11:16:03 2005 From: drobilla at connect.carleton.ca (Dave Robillard) Date: Tue Sep 20 09:42:04 2005 Subject: [linux-audio-announce] [ANN] LASH 0.5.0 Message-ID: <1127142964.28656.8.camel@localhost.localdomain> Hello LADs, LASH (formerly LADCCA) is the LASH Audio Session Handler. It allows you to save, restore, and distribute sessions consisting of many interconnected Jack/Alsa applications. LASH was written by Bob Ham, but I have taken over as maintainer as of this release. Changes: * Bugfixes (most importantly session now restore reliably) * Complete name change (see API notes below) * A new GTK control panel client (no more command line!) * Various updates, bitrot removal, GCC4 fixes, etc More information, downloads, screenshot, CVS, etc, available at: http://www.nongnu.org/lash Developers: If you have an app that supported LADCCA, the API has been broken by this release (sorry). The semantics of the API (and the protocol) are exactly the same however, only the names have changed. See homepage and/or NEWS file for details.

More information, screenshot, downloads, etc, available at: http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~drobilla/patchage/ This release features updated LASH support (optionally depends on the recent LASH 0.5.0 release). Patchage will restore module locations, and it's window size/location along with a session. Also new are a few bugfixes related to incorrectly split modules, configuration file loading, and hiding useless system modules.

A few MIDI utilities have been developed with this tool, which can be used both as programming examples and as real work tools. The main program, "kaseq" is a single executable, used as a DCOP service program. It runs as a daemon, allowing only a single running instance, and providing a system tray icon to give visual feedback for MIDI activity, and a way to control the program execution itself. It depends on KDE 3.x and the Qt library.

Rivendell is a fully copy-lefted audio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. Further information, including screenshots, source code and RPMs for select Linux distributions can be found at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ >From the NEWS file: *** snip snip *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.9.53 -- 09/28/2005 Changes: RDCatch Enhancements. It is now possible to configure a single record 'window' in RDCatch and configure multiple shorter recordings within that window to be started by means of GPI closures. Asynchronous Macro Carts. It's now possible to designate a macro cart as to be executed 'Asynchronously', meaning that, when executed within a log in RDAirPlay, any Sleep ['SP'] RMLs contained within the cart will not delay subsequent log events, but *will* delay subsequent RML statements within the cart itself. This can be useful for achieving various special effects, such as starting a music bed and then playing a seperately carted dry voiceover on top of it. RDLibrary Enhancements. RDLibrary will now give explicit warning about various out-of-parameter conditions (like audio carts that contain no audio). It's now also possible to specify the 'Forced Length' of a cart (for timescaling purposes) without obscuring the actual average length of the cart. Many Bugfixes. Especially with regard to RDCatch, MPEG encoding and electronic log reconciliation (ELR) functionality. See the ChangeLog for details. Library Versions: This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.94.0 and librhpi-0.94.4 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing: rpm -q libradio rpm -q librhpi Database Update: As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** snip snip *** Rivendell v0.9.53 is available for download now at: http://www.salemradiolabs.com/rivendell/ Cheers! |-------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Frederick F.
