#Linux gains more critical #Windows apps: 3D Movie Maker and Space Cadet Pinball

It's not only a native port, they also had to do more work to make it 64-bit clean, add native file load and save dialog boxes, #MIDI background #music via #FluidSynth, and a video player powered by #GStreamer – among other things. Currently, they're looking at making a #RaspberryPi version as well.

Who even needs #Microsoft #Windows anymore?

chicken scheme on OpenBSD using portmidi C lib via ffi.

(I have a fluidsynth instance waiting in the background
to send some midi events to.)

Waattzzz?? Tellement longtemps que j'ai posé sur ce fil!
Bon, j'étais pas mal sur la route du train avec @PlagiatBros, mais là, on s'y remet.

Genre p.ex. intégration de la #microtonalité in da setup, pour que mes bombardes & zurnas elles sonnent un peu + comme @AcidArab, hmmm !

Pour ça : création de fichiers #scala (fichier S 😶 ) avec #maqams illégaux + contrôle judicieux des fichiers S avec #Mentat pour que tout le Gang s'y plie: #Surge, #x42-fat1, #Calf, #Fluidsynth

Any .sf2 soundfont users around here? Is that already horribly old-school? (I've already found plenty of .sf2s that play shitty and/or sound like crap.)

@pkw
somehow I've just looked at your #fluidsynth + #midi / #midi #cffi #lisp stuff. Thank you for doing this!

Opinionated C code to play with (port)midi and fluidsynth on OpenBSD.

Today I learned about #Frescobaldi (Linux), which is a front end that integrates #Lilypond notation with GM playback. It is quite amazing! Put this together with the #Fluidsynth frontend called #Qsynth (or your trusty old Yamaha-keyboard) and you can listen to (and edit) your sheet music.

And the resource where you can find great sheet music is of course: https://www.mutopiaproject.org

Just got pointed to the LV2 plugin https://github.com/brummer10/Fluida.lv2 which allows using the #FluidSynth General MIDI synthesizer in #Reaper. Worked for me almost out of the box on Manjaro (Arch Linux)!

Ran into it here: https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?t=25139
