Here it is, a new QMidiArp version has arrived! The main new features are JACK MIDI, which is the default backend now, JACK Session support, and a new in-sequence loop marker that can be used to bounce the play direction or to loop at a mouse-clicked position in the sequence. Note that you can still get the alsa backend by starting with qmidiarp -a . The full list of noticeable changes is below. Thanks again to all having reported ideas and bugs and given their support. Masters of the step sequencer, Enjoy! ----------- Feedback as usual to qmi...@li... or on the IRC #qmidiarp Website with documentation: http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net ----------- New Features o Groove functions now work for all modules, not only Arps o Effect of groove settings is displayed in the Arp/LFO/Seq screen o LFOs can be triggered and restarted by the keyboard o When reducing the size of LFO waves or Sequences, the original data is kept in memory and is also saved to the session file as a whole o LFO and Seq play direction can now be chosen, and bouncing loops are possible o New user positionable loop marker in Seq module. The marker is placed by left or right mouse click on the bottom cursor line of the sequencer and represents an additional return/loop point. It can be removed again by clicking in the bottom left or right area of the Seq screen. o Triggered one-shot play of LFO and Seqs improved o JACK MIDI backend available. This is now default, use the -a option for getting the ALSA backend o JACK Session support when using JACK MIDI backend Fixed Bugs o A rounding error led to desync when Arps were used with groove shift o MIDI controls for Groove did not initialize upon "New..." o MIDI Controllers assigned to multiple destinations stopped at the first one encountered and ignored all others General Changes o JACK MIDI is now the default backend, -a option enables ALSA backend o Obsolete .qma text file import removed |

Dear all, as reported by some users, in certain cases QMidiArp-0.4.3 crashed with a floating point exception directly on startup when used with JACK MIDI. This exposed only on a few systems, at least one of them AVLinux (unfortunately not mine), but is still a big bug due to a missing initialization. It is now fixed by a patch that can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.4.3/qmidiarp-0.4.3-fix-transport.patch/download It is applied with cd qmidiarp-0.4.3 patch -p1 < qmidiarp-0.4.3-fix-transport.patch Thanks to the two reporters and Robi for the remote access to a system exposing the bug.

One month after the last one, QMidiArp 0.4.4 comes as a bugfix release, and the only new 'feature' is that the JACK MIDI backend can run without JACK Transport too. Everyone is encouraged to upgrade to this version available at http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net With many thanks to the reporters (and christmas wishes of course :) ) Frank -------------------------------------------------- direct link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.4.4/qmidiarp-0.4.4.tar.bz2/download qmidiarp-0.4.4 (2011-12-24) New Features o JACK MIDI backend doesn't require Jack Transport anymore Improvements o Better usability of the sequencer loop marker o Improved LFO offset slider behavior o Quantization to the minimum stepwidth in Arp modules active when changes in Arp patterns occur Fixed Bugs o Crash on startup in JACK MIDI mode on certain systems o When cloning modules, the current play direction wasn't copied o Unmatched MIDI event forwarding didn't work with Arp modules o Typo in english manpage |

Hi there! QMidiArp 0.4.5 is now available for download and contains two bugfixes for issues reported on the IRC by quilzo. http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.4.5/ qmidiarp-0.4.5 (2012-01-21) Fixed Bugs o JACK Transport start with ALSA backend was broken in 0.4.4 o Crash when events not matching any channel in any module were received in JACK MIDI backend For those who want to check out some new features under development, the current "globalstore" git branch contains a new global parameter store handler allowing to switch all settings in one click at a defined time which can be very handy in live situations. For this, git clone git://qmidiarp.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/qmidiarp/qmidiarp cd qmidiarp git checkout globalstore autoreconf -i ./configure make Best Frank |

To all who have already grabbed the tarball before two hours ago, may I ask you to grab it again. Although the tarball worked, it contained one wrong source file producing debug output, which is not very clean. Thanks to Nedko who has quickly seen this Apologies....again Frank ----- Mail original ----- > De : Frank Kober <goe...@ya...> > À : "qmi...@li..." <qmi...@li...>; linux-audio-user <lin...@li...>; Linux Audio Announce <lin...@li...>; "qmi...@li..." <qmi...@li...> > Cc : > Envoyé le : Samedi 24 Décembre 2011 9h59 > Objet : [LAU] QMidiArp-0.4.4 released > > One month after the last one, QMidiArp 0.4.4 comes as a bugfix release, > and the only new 'feature' is that the JACK MIDI backend can run > without JACK Transport too. > > Everyone is encouraged to upgrade to this version available at > > http://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net > > With many thanks to the reporters (and christmas wishes of course :) ) > > Frank > > -------------------------------------------------- > direct link: > > http://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.4.4/qmidiarp-0.4.4.tar.bz2/download > > qmidiarp-0.4.4 (2011-12-24) > > New Features > o JACK MIDI backend doesn't require Jack Transport anymore > > Improvements > o Better usability of the sequencer loop marker > o Improved LFO offset slider behavior > o Quantization to the minimum stepwidth in Arp modules active when > changes in Arp patterns occur > > Fixed Bugs > o Crash on startup in JACK MIDI mode on certain systems > o When cloning modules, the current play direction wasn't copied > o Unmatched MIDI event forwarding didn't work with Arp modules > o Typo in english manpage > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Lin...@li... > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user > |
