First it uses alsa midi through the alsaseq library. Second it is written in python3. Third it uses the Clutter "opengl" UI toolkit. I'm not sure if jack keyboard supports 128 midi keys. CMKeyboard is not intended to replace jack keyboard. It's about getting some traction using Python3 and Clutter. Clutter and Python are two under utilised options in LAD. Not sure why Python is not so popular considering how many professional and highly successful AV projects have been built with it but Clutter seems to have been off the radar for a while. Maybe now that the new touch interfaces are arriving in the market this year we will see a pick up in Clutter projects for LAD applications. > On Dec 9, 2012 7:28 PM, "Patrick Shirkey" <pshir...@boosthardware.com> > wrote: > >> Announcing CMKeyboard - Clutter MIDI Keyboard >> >> http://djcj.org/cmkeyboard >> >> CMKeyboard is a 128 note ALSA MIDI virtual piano keyboard spanning from >> C-1 to G9 written in python3 and taking advantage of the latest Clutter >> (>1.12.2) features to enable scrolling and opengl goodness.
