Open Octave Strings Orchestral Wallpaper Coming Soon!
We have been working quietly on wallpaper to share with you!
This wallpaper outlines the range of the Strings section of the orchestra. It also features frequencies of each note, notation as well as a classic seating plan for the orchestra.
It is meant as a guide to help you when editing midi, panning, EQing and adding reverb to your orchestral mixes.
More to come on the release day!

(Video Tutorial is not done, Last Hot Key Done, Hot Key Map Getting Done!)
Bad news first :(
After coding all day I was not able to get the technical video screencast done for Open Octave MIDI. I was working on a new feature and I simply ran out of time. That said I hope to have the video done very soon!
Good News!
- I have completed and commited the last of the changes to the Hot Key functions. To select notes in the Matrix Editor you use SHIFT + Right (Left) arrows. The cursor now moves by grid snap designation, giving you much more control with the keyboard! So go ahead and try it out!
- I am working on a Hot Key Map based off the Blender Hot Key Map style. I am hoping to have this done soon, and for sure ready for the 1.0 release of Open Octave MIDI which is coming soon!
Special thanks to Campbell Barton of Blender for permission to use the hot key map design!
More to come soon!

Squash the Digital Rodent....?
When writing for orchestra in a computer, there are several conditions for creating a close to ideal working environment. Workflow is king, as the volume of editing involved in creating music of an orchestral nature, is considerable, and beyond what many users and developers alike, may have been aware of.

The new icons authored by Vladimir Savic are in Open Octave MIDI!
The icons blend well with the new dark theme, and are another great addition to assist in the ease of use through colors and style that we are striving for.
Thanks Vladimir!
P.S. Go ahead and download the changes in the git repository!

Click the above image to view in fullscreen.
The final steps of our 1.0 release are at hand. So to get things out there we are putting out Release Candidate #1. There are still a few things to do but all in all we are very happy with the progress and feel the program is at a very usable state!
What is different from Rosegarden 1.7.3 to Open Octave MIDI RC1?
