Subject: [linux-audio-dev] [Quasimodo] version 0.1.7 released
From: Paul Barton-Davis (pbd_AT_Op.Net)

The newest release of Quasimodo(*) is now available as a tarball or 3
from:

        http://www.op.net/~pbd/quasimodo/

This is still very much an in-development release, but a very
substantial amount of internal code restructuring has taken place to
support the new firewall between the DSP engine + a user interface.
As usual, there are also lots of bug fixes, plus (no doubt) a few new
bugs. You will be better off if you use ALSA under Linux rather than
OSS. I have not used the OSS layer in months.

Please look forward to a much more frequent release schedule from now
on. Also, I hope to offer binary releases around version 0.1.9 or 0.1.10.

Although 99.9% of the email concerning Quasimodo's development has
been between Stephane Conversey and myself, the quasimodo development
mailing list will be the forum that the two of us will use from now
on, and we invite anyone who isn't on that list to subscribe and
contribute ideas, bug reports, code etc. to Quasimodo's development.
Details on the web site.

(*) Description:
----------------

Quasimodo is an advanced, real-time, 32-bit floating point,
extensible, MIDI-controllable environment for generating and
processing audio and MIDI data.

Quasimodo supports the Csound "programming" language, plugin opcodes,
themeable graphics, a simple scripting language for user-interface
design, and an intuitive graphical user interface for real-time
manipulation. It supports both Csound scorefiles, real-time MIDI
input, and its own user interface for playing audio and MIDI
compositions.

Internally, Quasimodo features advanced object-oriented design,
multithreading, formal grammars, high-precision timing, and a highly
portable GUI toolkit.

Quasimodo runs on advanced and stable operating systems based on the
POSIX OS specification (so far: Linux and IRIX)

Quasimodo is fully controllable from any physical control surface that
generates MIDI, without any programming of the control surface.
(e.g. Mackie HUI, Peavey PC1600X, JL Cooper CS10 or
FaderMaster/MixMaster). It automatically learns which MIDI controller
you want to control a given parameter/visual element.

Quasimodo is open source, free software. It can be extended at many
levels: rewriting the source, adding new opcodes, writing new
Quasimodules, creating new visuals for the user interface. You are
free to do anything you want with (most) of Quasimodo, as long as you
don't restrict others freedom to do the same.
