I am pleased to announce the release of Composite 0.006.1.  This is a

bug-fix release.
ABOUT

-----
Composite is (or, will be) a software application/system for

real-time, in-performance sequencing, sampling, and looping.

Currently the main feature is the LV2 Sampler that supports Hydrogen

drumkits.
CHANGES

-------
   * Fix FTBFS: t_AudioPort test missing link to QtCore

   * Fix FTBFS Song.cpp: Replace using of QString(int) with

     QString(const char*)

   * LV2 Sampler: Initialize QCoreApplication

   * LV2 Sampler: Fix crash by moving Logger instance to module level

   * LV2 Sampler: Check LV2 Event types and add extension meta-data

   * tests: t_AudioPort had a degenerate test

   * tests: t_SeqScript now passes (was failing as dev reminder)

   * Replace -lQtCore with ${QT_LIBRARIES} in build system
STATUS

------
Composite is a project with a large vision.  Here is the status of the

different components:
     composite-gui:            Alpha (i.e. "a broken version of Hydrogen")

     compoiste_sampler (LV2):  production/stable, no GUI

     libTritium:               Not a public API, yet.

HOW TO USE THE PLUGIN

---------------------
To use the plugin, you need the following:
     * A program (host) that loads LV2 plugins.
     * A MIDI controller.
     * An audio output device.  :-)
The following LV2 hosts are known to work with this plugin:
     Ingen          http://drobilla.net/blog/software/ingen/

     ardour3 (alpha) http://ardour.org/

     lv2_jack_host  http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/

     zynjacku       http://home.gna.org/zynjacku/
If you don't have a hardware MIDI controller, I suggest using

jack-keyboard (http://jack-keyboard.sourceforge.net/).
The first time you run the sampler, it will create a file

~/.composite/data/presets/default.xml, which will set up presets on

Bank 0 for the two default drum kits (GMkit and TR808EmulationKit).

Sending MIDI PC 0 and PC 1 will switch between the two kits.  See

composite_sampler(1) for more information on setting up presets.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

---------------
With this release, I would especially like to thank:
     Alessio Treglia - For dutifully reporting bugs, submitting

     patches, and *patiently* waiting for me to review them.
     Paul Davis - For working with me on the crashes that were

     discovered on ardour3 alpha.
Peace,

Gabriel M. Beddingfield
