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.

Due to popular demand, I have just created a new page on the site for dowloading the helper scripts for The Open Octave Project Pipeline.

Enjoy!
NOTE: these scripts need user modification to run properly.
more to come on using the scripts!......

2 Scripts to Tie it all Together!
In keeping with our project goals at OpenOctave, we've been working towards a more automated setup, and as a result are building 2 scripts to aid the user in the process of managing midimaps in different formats, and the everyday process of starting and stopping multiple applications. The work goes on.!
MIDI mapping, The art of making multiple applications speak together!
A critical step that needs addressing before you can effectively use your studio setup, is the creation of a common set of bank and instrument mappings across applications so they can all speak the same language. This is call MIDI mapping. At The Open Octave Project we have developed a script that takes an initial Linuxsampler .lscp map and converts it into .rgd and .midnam format. The .rgd can be loaded into Open Octave MIDI and the .midnam will be compatible with the new midi functions in Ardour 3.0. This means you create a single midimap, or set of midimaps, in Linuxsampler, and the rest is automated across apps using different formats, effectively saving you a lot of work and time!
The script takes all of the MIDI ports from linuxsampler and exposes them and takes all of the audio outs from Linuxsampler and exposes them to Ardour for processing.
Starting and stopping together!
The second script is created to start and stop all the applications together while loading all the default templates. It sounds simple, it is simple and it just works :)
So from this point there is a lot to do with these scripts and they are not really ready for public consumption due to the fact that they deal with a lot of hard coded values. However our plan is to make them as flexible as possible!
I will tell you more soon, as well as look towards releasing them :)

Open Octave Strings Orchestral Wallpapers are Ready!
The new strings section wallpaper is ready! It is packed with very useful information that you will require to properly mix your strings into a score. It gives quick reference to frequencies, notation, ranges, harmonics as well as orchestral seating and positioning.
This is a must have wallpaper for those aspiring composers who need that extra bit of knowledge!
You can download several different resolutions to fit your needs:

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!

Open Octave MIDI Hot Key Map almost done!
I have completed the hot key labels and only need to finish the mouse labelings.
The work continues! :)

(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!
