<br> Of course there is! That's mainly, why I'm VERY FOND of my Linux. :-)
<br> As for MIDI-sequencing: midish, cuse and mondrian (programming language
<br>only). Deficits of midish and cuse: no ALSA or JACK MIDI backends. Only
<br>rawmidi.
<br> For audio: ecasound (recording, processing, mixing, LADSPA support).
<br> As for softsynths and samplers: ZynAddSubFX has a very small commandline
<br>interface (Loading only), fluidsynth (shell-like), LinuxSampler (via simple
<br>telnet, working on something nicer shell-like myself), csound and clm (both
<br>with programming language), I think also supercollider can be used via simple
<br>text-files, though I'm not sure. Oh and I'm sorry: aeolus OF COURSE, with it's
<br>shell-interface. Beatrix has an interactive curses-interface (no JACK and ALSA
<br>at all, you'll have to patch it up yorself with bio2jack and even then it may
<br>be problematic...). Tapeutape is an XML-based sampler in the making. Nice
<br>start, promising, but still lacking a bit.
<br> there's the sndfile-suite for small conversion tasks. There's sox for other
<br>simple tasks.
<br> You can use TiMidity live for playing. There's tranches a looping software
<br>(MIDI pattern player).
<br> Last but not least there's jconv (former jace) for realtime IR-based reverb
<br>effects (convolution).
<br> All these can make u-p a very formidable environment.
<br> Real drawback is in fact only the MIDI angle. Midish has a lot of good
<br>features and is - as far as I've seen - very cleanly programmed, cuse has a
<br>nice interface and a few very cunning features (use special key-combinations
<br>on your midi-keyboard to perform some function). But they all don't have ALSA
<br>MIDI sequencer and no way to have real JACK transport. I tried hacking midish
<br>to have VERY BASIC JACK transport control support. But the result is not
<br>satisfactory. I hope I'll get back to it and then do a few tests. I guess I
<br>should first do a few more experiments with JACK though.
<br> Sorry for the long winded answer.
<br> Kindest regards
<br> Julien

<br><br>I'm a blind music teacher and I'm looking for accessible MIDI sequencer.
<br>There are quite a few OSS sequencers on Linux, but AFAIK none for
<br>Windows. That'S why I'm writing this here - is anybody considering to
<br>port any MIDI sequencer to Windows? Both Qt and Gtk+ are present on
<br>Windows, so the only problem could be an underlying audio/midi
<br>infrastructure. I hope one day an accessible solution usable both by
<br>visually impaired AND people with good vision users. I'd like to use
<br>such a sequencer as an educational tool, and it should work both on
<br>Linux and Windows.
<br><br>Best regards.

<br>------------------------------------
<br><br>Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application, written in
<br>C++ on top of Qt Software's Qt4 framework, having JACK and ALSA as its
<br>main infrastructures and Linux as native and exclusive platform.
<br>Specially suited to the lone-wolf composer, arranger and (re)creative
<br>music-maker personal home-studio, it still hopes to evolve as a fairly
<br>featured desktop audio/MIDI workstation or at least, a prototypal part
<br>of it ;)
<br><br>Release highlights:
<br><br>* Stephen Doonan joined documentation team and revised the user manual.
<br>* Spurious MIDI events recording bug ow fixed.
<br>* Audio track monitoring and plugin loop processing slightly improved if
<br>not fixed.
<br>* MIDI clip editor improved precision and correct snapping.
<br>* Multiple track mute and solo one-click toggling (NEW).
<br>* Better MIDI connection persistance across sessions.
<br>* Record-armed tracks aren't muted on playback anymore (NEW).
<br>* Optimized audio clip waveform caching and drawing.
<br>* Many more or less fixes (see change-log)

<br>- Unlimited undo/redo.
<br>- Built-in mixer and monitor controls.
<br>- Built-in connection patchbay control and persistence (a-la QjackCtl).
<br>- LADSPA, DSSI and native VSTi plug-ins support.
<br>- Unlimited number of plug-ins per track or bus.
<br>- Plug-in presets, programs and chunk/configurations support.
<br>- Audio/MIDI clip fade-in/out (linear, quadratic, cubic).
<br>- Audio clip time-stretching (WSOLA-like or via librubberband),
<br>pitch-shifting (also via librubberband) and seamless sample-rate
<br>conversion (via libsamplerate).
<br>- Audio/MIDI track export (mix-down, merge).
<br>- Audio/MIDI metronome bar/beat clicks.
<br>- MIDI clip editor (piano roll).
<br>- MIDI instrument definitions (a-la Cakewalk(tm))
<br>- JACK transport sync master.
<br>- MMC control surface enabled.
<br>- Configurable keyboard shortcuts.
<br><br>Change-log:
<br><br>- Slight optimization in audio and MIDI meters refresh rate.
<br>- Another ancient bug has been squashed: MIDI events were being recorded
<br>even though recording wasn't rolling; spurious event times were being
<br>recorded due to an absent started queue.
<br>- Major fix applied to audio track monitor metering, and most
<br>importantly to plugin processing, correcting tentatively all audio
<br>buffer offsetting and slicing due on loop turnarounds.
<br>- Fixed a potential crash and/or simple record dismissal when changing
<br>properties of a track already armed for recording; prevent record
<br>engaged tracks from editing or removal.
<br>- Lighten up the connections line and highlight colors, as seen to fit
<br>best on some darker background themes.
<br>- Several icons refined with slight transparent shadowing.
<br>- Send/reset all MIDI buses and track controllers (ie. volume and
<br>panning) only when main transport playback is started, avoiding the
<br>pouring on eg. loop, playhead or tempo changes.
<br>- Pressing the Escape key also clears current selection in the main
<br>track-view and MIDI clip editor; resizing multiple events at once
<br>doesn't need help from Shift or Ctrl modifiers anymore.
<br>- DSSI and VSTi plugins get all their default parameters values reset on
<br>MIDI program change.
<br>- Several major fixes have been applied to the MIDI clip editor,
<br>regarding snap precision and correctness, most specially due on clips
<br>which weren't located on exact bar boundaries.
<br>- Brand new usability feature introduced: mute, solo and monitor
<br>toggling may now be applied to all tracks in session at once, when
<br>issued with either the Shift or Ctrl keyboard modifiers, which will set
<br>or reverse respectively all other tracks state.
<br>- Audio buses plugin chain may be also accessed and edited from the
<br>extended bus management dialog (View/Buses...).
<br>- MIDI meter level default color is now set distinct from the old
<br>lime-green one as in audio level meters.
<br>- MIDI clip editor is now a genuine top-level window, fixing all
<br>keyboard shortcut ambiguities with main application window.
<br>- Mixer splitter panes are now collapsible and optionally hidden.
<br>- Make MIDI instrument patch management a little more sane, as for
<br>preventing the accidental insertion of blank instrument names and
<br>automatic default bank/program selection in track properties.
<br>- All connections are now based exclusively on the textual client and
<br>port names, effective in particular to match MIDI bus ports with
<br>disregard to their volatile numerical identification.
<br>- MIDI file (SMF) header endianess fix (PPC users rejoyce:))
<br>- Record armed tracks aren't muted for playback anymore, as this was a
<br>severe crippling nuisance regarding input monitoring and all mighty user
<br>experience after recording a simple take; for instance, as the bottom
<br>line goes, there's no need to un-arm a track from its record-enabled
<br>state anymore, for just recorded material get heard on immediate
<br>playback; kick on the jam!
<br>- Playhead position overflow fixed on negative MMC STEP commands.
<br>- Thumb-view width proportions now based on minimal slack session length
<br>instead of the auto-extending track-view contents width.
<br>- Optimize audio clip drawing, most specially on zoomed-out levels.
<br>- Bring the audio peak frames into some sort of cache, preventing
<br>recurrent peak frame buffer reallocation and trashing.
<br><br>Cheers && Enjoy!

<br>------------------------------------
<br><br>Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application, written in
<br>C++ on top of Qt Software's Qt4 framework, having JACK and ALSA as its
<br>main infrastructures and Linux as native and exclusive platform.
<br>Specially suited to the lone-wolf composer, arranger and (re)creative
<br>music-maker personal home-studio, it still hopes to evolve as a fairly
<br>featured desktop audio/MIDI workstation or at least, a prototypal part
<br>of it ;)
<br><br>Release highlights:
<br><br>* Stephen Doonan joined documentation team and revised the user manual.
<br>* Spurious MIDI events recording bug ow fixed.
<br>* Audio track monitoring and plugin loop processing slightly improved if
<br>not fixed.
<br>* MIDI clip editor improved precision and correct snapping.
<br>* Multiple track mute and solo one-click toggling (NEW).
<br>* Better MIDI connection persistance across sessions.
<br>* Record-armed tracks aren't muted on playback anymore (NEW).
<br>* Optimized audio clip waveform caching and drawing.
<br>* Many more or less fixes (see change-log)

<br><br>My name is Holger Ballweg, I am a student of Musikinformatik (musical
<br>computer science?!) and musicology at the university of music in karlsruhe.
<br><br>I'm using Linux for quite some time now, often using audio applications.
<br>To discover new applications, there luckily is linuxaudio.org's appdb.
<br>Unfortunately many of the apps aren't actively developed, some are
<br>nowhere to be found because the homepage has vanished.
<br><br>I just started editing the wiki and wanted to know, if we could add a
<br>tag, which in some way makes it possible to see which projects are still
<br>active or which not.
<br><br>A possible solution could be to include some mechanism to show which
<br>packages were updated in the last couple years by including a timestamp
<br>for the last release (like proposed in the wiki) in the app entry and to
<br>add an to the listings, which shows projects updated in the last 12 months.
<br><br>I'd like to mess with the wiki some more, but first I'd like to have a
<br>possibility to mark those old projects...
<br><br><br>Cheers,
<br><br>Holger

<br><br><a href="http://restivo.org/projects/sustainer/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://restivo.org/projects/sustainer/</a><br><br>I use the sustain pedal a lot in live performance for holding down pads while tweaking knobs or playing other parts (or both). It was annoying me that so many of my favorite softsynths for making pads, didn't support the sustain pedal though.
<br><br>I didn't feel like hacking all the softsynths that didn't have sustain pedal functionality, so I decided to solve it the Unix way by making a tiny utility to do what I wanted. I needed this to scratch my personal itch, and I'm publishing it so that others may enjoy it if they need something like this.
<br><br>I don't use JACK MIDI yet; I'm one of those luddites still on version 0.103 of JACK and refusing to take any risks on newer versions. But JACK MIDI is very straightforward, so at some point I'll convert this utility to native JACK MIDI.

<br><br>What is this hype all about?
<br><br><br>The bad News
<br>--------------
<br>* Random access memory is on chip and hardwired to 128MB.
<br>This means that Desktop Environments like Gnome is out of the equation.
<br>(I realize that some might reckon this as good news ..)
<br><br><br>The good News
<br>----------------
<br>Hardware OpenGL ES 2.0 and an Arm processor with support for vectors of
<br>float as well as double aside, the one thing that strikes me the most
<br>is:
<br><br>* It's a 2 Watt system! .. including everything and the kitchen sink.
<br><br>So if not really running on candle light, it is not a far cry. A
<br>pocketable solar cell should be enough to get you up on your marks
<br>again, in case you run out of juice. At these power levels, battery
<br>lifetime finally appears irelevant.
<br><br>The real star of the show - and why I am mentioning anything at all of
<br>all of this - is the included DSP:
<br><br>* The TMS320C64x+
<br><br>At first I was a little disappointed that this is not a floating point
<br>DSP - we have kind of settled for floats as the standard carrier for
<br>audio here lately - but since those domains are already covered by the
<br>Arm vector co-processor, I reluctantly downloaded the 1000 page manual
<br>to see if I could figure out some of what it is all about ...
<br><br><br>TI describes their DSP as an "advanced very long instruction word (VLIW)
<br>architecture", which is another way of saying that a bunch of
<br>instructions are grouped together and excuted in parallel on seperate
<br>execution units, each on their own data .. not totally unlike the these
<br>days familiar notion of SIMD, where a single instruction is executed in
<br>parallel, also on multiple data, but in the VLIW case of course way more
<br>flexible.
<br><br>The execution units are eight in numbers, all slightly different from
<br>each other except for two that are specialized in memory address
<br>calculations, store and load, and do not resemble anything else. This
<br>symmetric pattern of two applies to the other execution units as well.
<br>In fact - except for a few corner cases - you could view the the whole
<br>DSP as being a dual processor, each half having its own four 32bit
<br>execution units for load/store, (dual) 16bit fixpoint madd, 32/40bit
<br>shift and 32/40bit fixpoint mul as well as their own register file. The
<br>capabilities of the units overlap somewhat and is not set in stone the
<br>way I just outlined above. Furthermore, instructions may be predicated,
<br>that is to say that depending on a condition the individual instructions
<br>may be replaced with a noop so that one (or more parts) of this 8 way
<br>instruction mayhem can relax and enjoy having arrived at a result
<br>instead of mindlessly overwriting it, while the rest do their best to
<br>clean up their act. Oh, and did I mention that each VLIW can be set up
<br>to execute in parallel, serial or anyting in between ..
<br><br>If the above does not sound like your favourite sunday soduko, do not
<br>dispair. For private evalution or opensource developement, there is an
<br>optimizing C-compiler available as a free download from TI themselves.
<br><br><br>Final Words
<br>------------
<br>Both of the boards available at low cost to developers for the time
<br>being utilizes the same audio codec which also doubles up as a decision
<br>engine for power saving state (or perhaps that should be the other way
<br>around?) Samplerates are for playback: 96K, 48K, 44.1K, 32K and similar
<br>for recording except no 96K. The bittiness is 16. There are two channels
<br>in and two out and ALSA is supposed to work out of the box.

<br>execution units for load/store, (dual) 16bit fixpoint madd, 32/40bit
<br>shift and 32/40bit fixpoint mul as well as their own register file. The
<br>capabilities of the units overlap somewhat and is not set in stone the
<br>way I just outlined above. Furthermore, instructions may be predicated,
<br>that is to say that depending on a condition the individual instructions
<br>may be replaced with a noop so that one (or more parts) of this 8 way
<br>instruction mayhem can relax and enjoy having arrived at a result
<br>instead of mindlessly overwriting it, while the rest do their best to
<br>clean up their act. Oh, and did I mention that each VLIW can be set up
<br>to execute in parallel, serial or anyting in between ..
<br><br>If the above does not sound like your favourite sunday soduko, do not
<br>dispair. For private evalution or opensource developement, there is an
<br>optimizing C-compiler available as a free download from TI themselves.
<br><br><br>Final Words
<br>------------
<br>Both of the boards available at low cost to developers for the time
<br>being utilizes the same audio codec which also doubles up as a decision
<br>engine for power saving state (or perhaps that should be the other way
<br>around?) Samplerates are for playback: 96K, 48K, 44.1K, 32K and similar
<br>for recording except no 96K. The bittiness is 16. There are two channels
<br>in and two out and ALSA is supposed to work out of the box.

<br><br>Don't take my word for granted. But the manufacturers tend to save money
<br>whereever they can. And adding a lowpass (not matter how cheap) is raising
<br>the costs... And its impractical since different sound setups need different
