Introduction

Gmorgan is a midi processor. It can be voiced using Linux synths, midi connected equipment, or using one or more of the many soundcards available. Mix the first four voices. You can use a virtual keyboard, but it is best to use a velocity sensing keyboard so that voices can be layered. It recognizes chords being played on the keyboard, and on the backgound terminal screen prints the input notes. There is a YouTube video which demonstrates some of this. See the Sourceforge project page for the link. Other features include a rhythm arranger, a style based sequencer, midi recorder. Jack recognizes it, so you can hook it to other synths.

It uses scheduled events in ALSA sequencer, and is based on a miniArp.c from Matthias Nagorni. It uses MIDI, is fully configurable (or may reach this aim in future versions *g*), the easiest way to use it is a soundfont compatible soundcard or a software synthesizer like fluidsynth or Timidity(++).

This program originally developed on a PIII 933 with emu10k1 running debian. It is tested on a PII 300 with an old SB16 ISA card and timidity, running debian, too. Up to now neither Kernel 2.6.0-test11 nor 2.4.23 showed any problems related to them. It should be ok on any Linux 32 or 64 bit distribution.
