资源说明：Kiara (is another recursive acronym) is a small portable midi sequencer project to fit my own needs for live performance and improvisation. (The main git tree can now be found on the homepage of the project)
Kiara : MIDI Sequencer for geeks (and a bridge between audio and The Editor War) == Introduction This is aplha material. You can have a look at the code and play a little bit around. But this is not yet fully usable in real conditions. === Why Kiara ? The name is really crappy for a midi sequencer project, i know, but i wasn't much inspired. Since i'm kind of fond of recursive acronyms, i found this one was nearly funny. Sorry for you KDE guys, this is a GTK based project. This is quite unusual to have a gtk based project starting by the K letter and i'm sorry to break the convention, but once i noticed my mistake it was too late. I started to develop kiara in order to have a portable sequencer really oriented towards live performance and improvisation. There are plenty of really good sequencers out there, allowing to do precise and powerfull sequencing. The problem is that most of those i'm aware of are either too complex to be really usefull when improvising or too simple for what i'm wanting to do. Some others are large machines with audio sequencing features and are introduction glitches during performance. The goal of kiara is to find another balance between all these elements. Finally, since most of us have an experience with hardware sequencer and some of us are developpers, we are used to edit sequences only with keyboard-like devices (i.e. with only buttons). Kiara then aims to be controlled only by keyboard. == Requirements * ruby 1.9 and the development headers * swig (a recent version might be necessary, i'm using 1.3.40) * (?GNU) Make * g++ * portmidi (and porttime, but they're part of the same package) * ruby cairo gem (build this before building ruby gtk2) * ruby-gtk2, with cairo support (you'll probably need to build it yourself for ruby1.9) * glade 3 if you want to hack the gui code. * boost (utility.hpp, shared_ptr.hpp and boost::thread currently) * libuuidrb gem * libxapian-dev and xapian gem OR just xapian-full gem == Build and run (*nix) There is not any automatic build system configuration at the time this document is written. If you want to build it, you'll have to edit manually the 'engine/Makefile' file, especially the RUBYINC and RUBYARCH variables and maybe RUBY and CXX vars. $> cd /path/to/kiara/sources $> $ EDITOR lib/engine/Makefile #(Edit the Makefile) $> make $> ./kiara.rb == Build on Win32 *Good* *Luck* Binaries will be available soon. I need to finish the keyboard event mapping code for windows == Understanding how using it I will try to write some code to automatically generates documentation from the mappings definition file. Until then, you'll need to read the mappings/mapping_base.rb file to discover the key mapping needed to use kiara. By editing this file you could easily customize the behavior of kiara.
