Dino sequencer Description

Dino is a MIDI sequencer for GNU/Linux. Dino is a MIDI sequencer for GNU/Linux. Dino is a pattern-based sequencer, which means that you write small patterns of MIDI events that you can repeat and arrange to create a whole song. Each track has its own patterns, so you can for example play the same drum pattern over and over again while you play different lead synth patterns and basslines.The arrangement editorThe GUI is divided into three tabs. The first tab, "Arrangement" is where youadd new tracks, arrange patterns, and edit the tempo map. When you firststart Dino there will be no tracks and all you will see is the "BPM" track.Here you can add new tempo changes with the left button, remove them withthe right button (except the first one - if you removed it the BPM for thewhole song would be undefined, so Dino will not let you remove it) and changetheir BPM by middle-clicking and dragging up and down. This mousing patternis used in most places in Dino - left adds, middle modifies, right removes.If you click the '+' button in the arrangement tab you will add a track. Whenyou add a track you can choose a name for it, which MIDI port it should connectto, and the MIDI channel it should send events to. You can edit all theseproperties later too by clicking the 'Properties' button (the one with the tool). The selected track (the one that has a dark blue background for itsname) can be removed by clicking the trashcan button. Each track is shown as a strip of blocks, where each block represents a beat.When you have created patterns for your track (see the text about the "Patterns"tab below) you can use the left mouse button to click on a track and bring upa popup menu listing all patterns for that track. The one you select will beadded to the track at the beat you clicked. You can modify its length withthe middle mouse button and delete it with the right (this does not affectthe actual pattern at all, just how this instance of it is played).The pattern editorIn the pattern editor you can add, edit, and remove patterns for the differenttracks. Look at the tooltips for the buttons in the upper row and it shouldbe fairly obvious how to add and delete patterns. When you have added a patternyou can also add and delete controllers in it. Controllers are e.g. pitchbendand MIDI CC controllers. The active controller can be edited in the box at thebottom of this tab.The main box here is the note editor, where you edit the notes in the activepattern. You add new notes with Ctrl-left button, change their length with themiddle button, change their velocity with Ctrl-middle button and delete them with Ctrl-right button. You can also use the left mouse button to select, unselect, and drag notes around - clicking a note will select it, shift-clickingwill unselect or select it depending on whether it was selected or not, clickingand dragging notes will move the selected notes around on the grid.There are also basic clipboard commands, you can cut, copy, paste and deletethe current selection. When you paste you will have to click where you wantthe clipboard content to appear. You can also middle-click outside all notes toinsert a copy of the current selection there without affecting the clipboardcontent.The info editorThe third tab simply has entry fields for the songs title, author, and info. It should be obvious how to use them.Requirements:· libjack· libglademmWhat's New in This Release:· This release adds the namespace prefix Pango:: in a couple of places to avoid ambiguity (Pango::Layout vs Gtk::Layout) that stopped compilation.
