Welcome to the Open Octave Project!
The Open Octave Project exists to provide professional level orchestral education as well as bring together and improve upon multiple open source applications in order to create a professional orchestral audio and midi environment that is robust, stable and easy to use.
What we ARE is a project based purely on building a dedicated environment, using Gentoo, Fluxbox, and as few additions as possible, making a lean and powerful system.
What we are NOT is an answering service for every other distro. We've stated our case, and those who want to use Linux Audio apps in other environments should go to the fora of their particular distro, and sort things out there, among those who know your environment well.
You can find out more about the Project, its founders, and project goals on our About page.

Just a quick blog this time, as Christopher and I are working behind the scenes, both on our own work, and modest testing of updated tools to use.

In my last blog, i highlighted a feature in Traveros called sheets. Since then, Remon and the Traverso team have been hard at work finetuning this feature, and for those of us who use multiple sheets as sections of an orchestra (for example), we now have a setting to make cursors global, that is the position of either cursor in one sheet is reflected in all the others.

A quick blog this week, about a programme that seems to be going ahead in leaps and bounds. Traverso has been around for a little while, but recently Remon and Nicola have been busy updating, including the inclusion of Jack porting, and a big improvement to the buss and port structure.

The journey continues! I've been testing and working with a new mixer on the linux audio block, called Non-Mixer, written by Jonathan Moore Liles, which he built as part of the Non suite of applications. This programme has been much anticipated here at the Open Octave Project, as it fills an important niche in the Linux Audio armoury, being a standalone, dedicated mixer, entirely intended for use with JACK........

Greetings all, and we hope all of you have had a decent start to the New Year, and that it continues. Christopher and I have continued to work behind the scenes, building, testing, and evaluating, so i'd like to bring some of our discoveries up to date, and share what we've found......

This is just a quick update to say hello and to say that things are moving along with the music making. For both Alex and myself we have been focusing on the music making end of The Open Octave Project. It seems that the pipeline has progressed far enough to do some serious work!
So at that I am back to work! :)

The Denemo team have been hard at work, and the new JACK midi framework is taking shape. Those who notate large works will know that notation application playback is often challenging, as soundfonts just don't give an accurate aural portrayal of what you've written, which is useful particularly when scoring for film......

Yes, it's more snippets, as Christopher and I continued to test, and much of what we're doing is behind the scenes.
Despite the quiet blog traffic, we've been busy, not only with our own projects, but working towards our project goal of unified applications and utilities in one environment.

A quick blog this week, as Chris and I are both very busy with our own personal projects. There's never enough time in the day......!
