As a choir #singer and member of a casual family combo, I regularly need to transcribe #music scores and generate #midi files. This weekend, I have been looking for #OpenSource tools for music engraving and found #LilyPond as well as #Frescobaldi (which provides a text editor with syntax highlighting and sheet music preview). It took me a while to learn the notation, but I was able to complete my first engraving of an alto part that I am practicing. I love the result! https://lilypond.org/

I'm late to the party, but I see Japan sold 3.5" floppy disks of MIDI music (SMF=Standard MIDI Files) from pop bands in the 90's. It also looks like they were sometimes sold in a CD jewel case but with a special insert to hold a floppy disk.

I couldn't find a 3D model for a floppy jewel case insert, so I remixed one. New model uploaded linked below.

Your band's next floppy release, maybe?

I would like to raise awareness regarding finding developers to help add VST3 support to LMMS. LMMS is the best foss midi-based DAW, but it's missing that one crucial feature to get to the next level of acceptance among new users. They've been looking for more devs to add this feature for a while now. Anyone can help them? https://github.com/LMMS/lmms

Music WIP: Savior

This is an electronic music composition combining the phrackwave style with a hip-hop or glitch-hop aesthetic. I call it phrack-hop. Suggestions on where to go next with this composition are welcome.

I flushed my future candy from #SweetWater down the toilet last Thursday after getting the #MAudio #Oxygen61 #MKV #MIDI #controller for my #Dell #laptop to use with #Reaper + #SurgeXT .

Figured the candy wasn't as high-quality as what I got from #NutsDotCom .

Got the SB AWE32 working! PnP is a PITA with these early Linux distros but I eventually got it figured out. Then I had to hunt down the needed tools to set up the AWE synth itself, then figure out how to use those.

Anyone here using a newer #iPad (with a USB C connection) with a #MIDI controller?

I used to use a Korg PlugKey as my MIDI interface, but it doesn't work with a lightning to USB C dongle... Apparently Apple has dropped support for it with their newer models

I heard this in the early 1970s and always wanted to put my spin on it. My variation simplifies the 3 original violin and bass parts down to 2 MIDI Guitar parts, a Drum Machine and some Hand Percussion.
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706), was a popular South German composer, organist, and teacher.
