Debian Multimedia Midi packages

Main goal of this project is to ease usage of legacy, not JACK-ified apps, in a JACK MIDI enabled system. a2jmidid is a daemon that implements automatic bridging. For every ALSA sequencer port you get one JACK MIDI port. If ALSA sequencer port is both one input and one output, you get two JACK MIDI ports, one input and one output.

Данный пакет содержит программы abc2midi' иmidi2abc', которые преобразуют музыкальный формат нот abc в стандартный формат MIDI и наоборот. Они могут генерировать аккомпанемент из гитарных аккордов в файл формата abc, а также вставлять различные MIDI-события; при MIDI-в-abc трансляции выполняется попытка самостоятельно обнаружить тактовые черты, триоли и знаки альтерации.

В пакете есть abc2abc' (красивый вывод на печать abc/ретранслятор),mftext' (программа, которая показывает MIDI-файл как текст) и `midicopy' (программа, которая извлекает определённые дорожки, каналы и временные интервалы из MIDI-файла).

В пакете также есть yaps (yet another ABC to PostScript converter), преобразующий музыку написанную в формате ABC в PostScript, который можно просмотреть на экране или напечатать. По сути, это (не единственная) альтернатива для abc2ps, основанная на коде для PostScript из abc2ps и коде разбора ABC из пакета abcmidi.

This is a GM SoundFont, for use with any modern MIDI synthesiser: hardware (like the emu10k1 sound card), or software (like FluidSynth).

This package provides the larger GM sound set, without the Roland Sound Canvas extensions.

Fluidsynth is a real-time midi synthesizer based on the soundfont (sf2 and sf3) specifications. It can be used to render MIDI input or MIDI files to audio. The MIDI events are read from a MIDI device. The sound is rendered in real-time to the sound output device.

free, minimal, hardcore audio tool for DJs, live performers and electronic musicians. Pick up your channel, fill it with samples or MIDI events and start the show by using this tiny piece of software as a loop machine, drum machine, sequencer, live sampler or yet as a plugin/effect host.

Giada aims to be a compact and portable virtual device for production use and live sets.

GMIDImonitor is GTK+ application that shows MIDI events.

You need to connect desired source of MIDI events to gmidimonitor input using some kind of patchbay like qjackctl, patchage. For restoring connections (not connecting every time) you can use LASH.

This is a crossplatform C64 music editor. Supports emulated output via Dag Lem's reSID engine, the HardSID soundcard or CatWeasel MK3.

It supports emulated output via the software reSID engine, the HardSID soundcard, or the Catweasel (MK3/MK4) controller card, and produces songs in its own format (*.SNG). The program can also export tunes in SID format, BIN format, or Commodore PRG format for inclusion on a floppy you can stick into a 1541/1571/1581 drive.

Like most tracker programs, the program is able to import instrument files, create and modify track patterns, set the order of playback of patterns and change details of the song such as the title and author. If you are familiar with tracker-like programs, then GoatTracker will feel like a simple version of those, though with differences attributable to the hardware. People new to composing in general should look up other information on composing on the C64.

GrandOrgue allows the user to load and play virtual pipe organs. Using sample sets, GrandOrgue is able to combine the individual pipe sounds and organ behaviors to simulate a variety of pipe organs.

When connected to MIDI keyboards and an audio system, it can accurately simulate the sound of a real pipe organ.

The user can create and load organ samplesets using a dedicated file format. A demonstration organ sampleset is provided in the grandorgue-demo package.

Advanced GTK+ Sequencer is intended to be used for music composition. It features a piano roll, as well as a synth, matrix editor, drum machine, soundfont2 player, mixer and an output panel. It’s designed to be highly configurable. You may add effects to its effect chain; and add or remove audio channels/pads. You may set up a fully functional network of engines, thus there is a link editor for linking audio lines.

JACK keyboard is a program that allows you to send JACK MIDI events (play ;-) using your PC keyboard. It's somewhat similar to vkeybd, except it uses JACK MIDI instead of ALSA, and the default keyboard mapping is much better - it uses the same layout as trackers (like Impulse Tracker) did, so you have two and half octaves under your fingers.

A simple and robust command-line tool to send MIDI beat clock that accurately follows JACK Transport.

It also features an instumentation tool to parse and dump incoming MCLK messages.

KMetronome is a MIDI based metronome using the ALSA sequencer.

The intended audience are musicians and music students. Like the solid, real metronomes it is a tool to keep the rhythm while playing musical instruments.

It uses MIDI for sound generation instead of digital audio, allowing low CPU usage and very accurate timing thanks to the ALSA sequencer

Midicsv reads a standard MIDI file and decodes it into a CSV (Comma-Separated Value) file which preserves all the information in the MIDI file. The ASCII CSV file may be loaded into a spreadsheet or database application, or processed by a program to transform the MIDI data (for example, to key transpose a composition or extract a track from a multi-track sequence). A CSV file in the format created by midicsv may be converted back into a standard MIDI file with the csvmidi program.

Can be used to monitor a MIDI device and/or software, and to send MIDI messages to a MIDI port to see how the device/software responds.

Support both ALSA and JACK MIDI ports via the RtMidi library.

ALSA is an effort to create a modules sound system for Linux, while maintaining full compatibility with OSS/Lite.

This program works with latest ALSA 1.0 drivers and former 0.9 versions.

This is a straightforward command line program to play midi files through the ALSA sequencer.

As you can specify the client and port to connect to on the command line it is also useful for testing ALSA or clients that need to receive sequencer events.

QMidiArp is an advanced MIDI arpeggiator, programmable step sequencer and LFO for the ALSA sequencer. It can hold any number of arpeggiator, sequencer, or LFO modules running in parallel.

Arpeggiator modules produce sequences depending on the notes sent to their input port, which is typically connected to a keyboard or another sequencer.

Step sequencer modules allow one to create simple linear, monophonic and globally transposable sequences similar to the first analog sequencers.

MIDI LFO modules independently produce MIDI controller data of adjustable waveform, time resolution, amplitude and duration.

For each module, an input note filter is available, and the output port and channel can be set independently. Since the modules use a common sequencer queue, they are automatically in sync with each other. QMidiArp works with an internal tick resolution of 192 ticks per beat. The queue can be synchronized to an incoming MIDI realtime clock or as a JACK transport client. Most of the relevant control elements are accessible via MIDI controller through a MIDI-learn infrastructure. QMidiArp also has a log tool displaying the history of incoming MIDI events in colors depending on their type. QMidiArp is based on the Qt toolkit.

QmidiNet is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA Sequencer) over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. It was inspired by multimidicast (https://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (https://nerds.de).

MIDI note, control change,program change and pitch bend events are logged, and can be filtered, redirected and transformed into other events according to MIDI maps defined as tabs in the main control surface.

You can copy midi MAPS into new tabs using the 'Clone MIDI map' button. All MIDI maps can be saved in a .qma text file.

QSynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt toolkit. Eventually it may evolve into a softsynth management application allowing the user to control and manage a variety of command line softsynths but for the moment it wraps FluidSynth (http://www.fluidsynth.org).

Machina is probabilistic (i.e. very small machines can produce interesting non-repetitive output) but also capable of deterministically representing any piece of “discrete note music” - or anything in between. There is also experimental support for evolving machines (using a Genetic Algorithm) to play similar (but not identical) music to an existing piece (from a MIDI file or real-time MIDI instrument input).

It was designed especially for use on Linux desktop and the open source Android app called "Control (OSC+MIDI)" but was deliberately written to be flexible enough to be used with any OSC controller or target.

SuperBoucle is a loop based software fully controllable with any midi device. SuperBoucle is also synced with jack transport. You can use it on live performance or for composition.
