github.com/nosuchtim/keykit/tree/master/dist
github.com/nosuchtim/keykitwasm
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keykit
sites.google.com/site/albertozin/Home/keykit

Install Procedure:

  • Navigate to the KeyKit GitHub repository (nosuchtim/keykit).
  • Open the /dist/ directory.
  • Download the appropriate archive for your system: Windows (key_nt.zip), Linux (key_linux_alsa.zip), or Raspberry Pi (key_raspbian.zip).
  • On Windows, right-click the downloaded .zip file, select β€œExtract All,” and extract it to a simple path such as C:\tools\keykit\.
  • On Windows, open the extracted folder and double-click key.exe to launch KeyKit and in the KeyKit console enter midiout("KeyKitPort").
  • On Linux, open a terminal, navigate to your download directory, run unzip key_linux_alsa.zip, then cd keykit, then run ./key from inside the keykit folder.
  • If Linux reports a permission error, run chmod +x key and then ./key.
  • Install a virtual MIDI driver on Windows (for example, loopMIDI).
  • Launch the MIDI driver and create a virtual port (for example, KeyKitPort).
  • Route the virtual MIDI port to a sound source such as a software synthesizer, DAW, or virtual MIDI instrument.
  • On Linux, verify MIDI devices by running aconnect -l.
  • Start a software synthesizer on Linux, for example fluidsynth -a alsa -m alsa_seq soundfont.sf2.
  • Run aconnect -l again to view available ports.
  • Connect KeyKit to the synthesizer using aconnect <keykit_port> <synth_port>.
  • In the KeyKit console, type 'c d e f g' and press Enter to test audio output.
  • Load a built-in sequencer by entering load "lib/seq.k" in the KeyKit console.
  • Optionally load a demo by entering load "lib/demo.k".
  • Ensure KeyKit is always launched from its root directory.
  • On Windows, if using a shortcut, set the β€œStart in” field to the KeyKit folder path.
  • On Linux, always run cd ~/keykit followed by ./key before launching.
  • If KeyKit cannot locate its libraries on Linux, set the environment variable with export KEYROOT=~/keykit.
  • Copy any additional .k scripts into the keykit/lib/ directory or your working directory.
  • Load additional scripts in KeyKit using load "myscript.k".
  • Create a startup script by making a file named startup.k.
  • Add commands such as load "lib/seq.k" and midiout("KeyKitPort") to startup.k.
  • Load the startup script in KeyKit using load "startup.k".
  • If KeyKit produces no sound, confirm MIDI devices exist and are properly connected.
  • If KeyKit fails to start, confirm you are running it from the correct directory and that permissions are set correctly on Linux.

BlackPlayer ~ Comprehensive Dark Themed Player

Posted by tom2tec on

BlackPlayer is a comprehensive Android music player that helps you keep all your music files organized on your smartphone and ready to listen to. You can also equalize them for the best experience with each song. And all these features are packaged in a dark and minimalist interface, which is the stylistic hallmark of this player.

Like many other music players, BlackPlayer has several tabs to keep your music organized. At the top of the screen, there’s a list of several categories: song, artist, album, folder, and playlist. You can create your own playlists or opt for smart playlists, which add your most-listened-to songs automatically. The app also tells you how many artists are in your library, as well as the total hours of music at your fingertips. Similarly, BlackPlayer lets you create instant mixes.

Another feature offered by BlackPlayer is the ability to equalize a song’s sound depending on where and how you’re listening to it. You can also choose cover images, complete information, and even add lyrics. This music player’s style is also worth highlighting, as it features a dark theme with colors ranging from black to gray.

AudioGridder ~ Audio & MIDI Network Bridge

Posted by tom2tec on

AudioGridder is a network bridge for audio and MIDI that allows for offloading the DSP processing of audio plugins to remote computers. This can come in handy when mixing complex projects or running CPU intensive instruments.

AudioGridder ServerΒ runs on a computer hosting your effect and instrument plugins. On your workstation, on which you run your DAW, you use theΒ AudioGridder FX or instrument pluginΒ to access your plugin library over the network. The plugin is looking for available servers on your network and once connected allows you to create insert chains or load instruments. Midi and audio data from your DAW will be streamed over the network, processed on the server and streamed back.
