I was afraid it would be too good the be true :(

You're quite right that the linearity needs to be good and at high gain,
however I'd be inclined to use a passive 20dB per step attenuator on the front
to maintain a good overload margin.

That box is output only. That seems to be quite common that is there 
is a consummer interest for output boxes but only niche interest for input 
or i/o boxes. Input boxes of good quality will cost more as it is easy to 
build the low gain output analog circuitry but much harder to build high 
gain, high quality, linear, controlable (with accuracy) input circuitry. 
For a scope, knowing the exact level at each gain position is pretty 
important.

[LAD] [ANN] QmidiCtl 0.5.3 - An Early Winter'19 Release

2019-01-08 Thread Rui Nuno Capela
Hello and Happy New Year!

  QmidiCt 0.5.3 (early winter'19) is out!

QmidiCt [1] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data
over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [6]
and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows [7]. QmidiCt [1]
was long ago designed for the Maemo [8] enabled handheld devices, namely
the late Nokia N900 [9] and promoted to the Maemo Package [10]
repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [1] may still be found effective as
a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as
well.

See also: QmidiNet [2] - A MIDI network gateway via UDP/IP multicast.

Change-log (since An(other) Early Summer'18 release [12]):
- Added proper display names to Command and Control Type entry fields on
Configure dialog (ie. MIDI controller assignments dialog).
- Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more.
- AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all permissive
license (FSFAP); also updated to be the most compliant with latest
freedesktop.org specification and recommendation.
