Java Sound & Music Software for Linux, Part 3
With this installment I complete my survey of Java-based sound and music applications that run under Linux. Again I've focused mainly on production software.
MIDI And Java
The Java Sound API contains strong support for MIDI, but I was surprised to find no full-size MIDI sequencers written for Java. Happily, JavaSound's MIDI capabilities are well-exploited by a variety of applications.
JSynthLib
If you own a MIDI hardware synthesizer you may have discovered that editing and storing new sounds can be a cumbersome task when performed from the synthesizer itself. In the late 1980s a flourishing market existed for software that could control remotely the editing process for a MIDI-enabled synth. At first these programs were written only for specific machines (e.g. a Roland D50) or a family of machines (e.g. the Yamaha DX/TX series), but later development tended towards the so-called universal synth editor/librarian that could ostensibly edit and store sound patches for any synthesizer.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
