Re: JJazzLab : a music application based on the Netbeans Platform

2019-10-06 Thread Jerome Lelasseux
 If you connect JJazzLab output to VMPK input, it won't produce any sound. You 
will just see the notes being pressed on the virtual keyboard when VMPK 
receives Midi Messages from JJazzLab.

This is because VMPK is like JJazzLab, it does not produce any sound itself, 
you need to connect a Midi sound device (synth, virtual instrument, etc.) to 
their output.
Maybe you wanted to use VMPK to play chords in real time, like with an arranger 
keyboard. But JJazzLab is not designed to function this way. For this you 
should use software such as Varranger or one-man-band.




JJazzLab must be connected to a Midi sound device

That's absolutely awesome, thank you!

About the tests: it works out of the box on Debian GNU/Linux sid, but I wasn't 
able to connect it to VMPK configured as MIDI input, maybe my fault, maybe a 
little documentation is lacking on both ends. I'm going to test it on Windows 
as soon as I have it running.

- More dynamic backing tracks
JJazzLab rhythms can have unlimited variations with different intensity. In 
this first release there are a few rhythms with 8 main variations + intros and 
endings. I think it's often 2 main variations (A-B) for Band In A Box styles. 
The initial idea was to be able to start a solo slowly, like with a real band, 
and gradually build the atmosphere. 

- Rhythmic accents
This makes a big difference when you play some songs, there are a few examples 
in the videos. 

- Open architectureAny developer can plug in a rhythm generation engine (e.g. 
which could interpret BIAB or iReal Pro files, or an AI-based engine).  
JJazzLab is acually just a user-friendly distribution of the JJazzLab-X 
platform with an example of music generation engine which reads Yamaha style 
files. 
- Much simpler UI

A clear downside of JJazzLab is that it does not come with its own sound 
engine, so if you have a crappy sound device, you'll get crappy sounds...

Re : Re: JJazzLab : a music application based on the Netbeans Platform

2019-10-05 Thread Jerome Lelasseux
Thanks Emma.

I bundled a jre in the windows installer, so the app is using its own jre to 
avoid compatibility problems. If you have a 32-bit windows then you must use 
the 32-bit installer.
I do more tests on Windows than on Linux, so yes feedback on Linux is welcome. 
Note that I did not bundle a Jre in the Linux zip, because I don’t know well 
the different Linux variants and I thought Linux users would know how to 
install a jre.

Hi Jerome

I like the look and fancy giving it a spin. (My MIDI programs don't evolve

I didn't find system requirements on your website. Is your program

Are you particularly seeking Windows users or would feedback using other 32

Re: JJazzLab : a music application based on the Netbeans Platform

2019-10-05 Thread Jerome Lelasseux
 Thanks. I did some googling and checked the GlobalSign website, I only found a 
free SSL certificate (for website), not for code signing. I also found Certum 
which does "cheap" code signing for open source projects, but it's the 
entry-level certificate, not the EV level certificate.

 Don't know what the proper channel is (Twitter?) but GlobalSign gives
away free EV code signing certificates for open-source
software/developers.

Done. Glad to help.

Subject: JJazzLab : a music application based on the Netbeans Platform

Dear Netbeans family,

After many many (too many) evenings and week-ends spent learning and coding, 
I'm proud to make the 1st release of my free music application based on the 
Netbeans Platform. 


It's here: https://www.jjazzlab.com(NOT www.jazzlab.com !)

If you're a musician and practice your instrument using backing tracks (maybe 
with apps like Band in a box or iReal Pro, or with backing tracks from 
YouTube), then you might be interested to try, and I would love to get your 
feedback (and bug reports!).


If you're not a musician but you're a Windows user, you can also help in 2 
minutes:  just download and install the app, then deinstall. You will probably 
get a Windows Smart Screen alert, don't worry, click on the "more info" text 
and you'll see the "Run Anyway" button. Explanations below.



Windows Smart Screen problem: 

Although I spent 80$ buying a 1 year code signing certificate from DigiCert, my 
installer is still blocked by Windows Smart Screen because Microsoft security 
servers don't have enough data (=people downloading the app and successfully 
installing it on Windows) to assess my installer's "reputation". So it's a 
chicken and egg problem : I need many people to install my app to remove the 
blocking by Windows, but Windows scares most people to do so ! I was 
recommended one solution: buy the 600$/year EV code signing certificate, 
obviously I would prefer to avoid this solution for a software I provide for 
free...


Of course don't hesitate to forward the link to your musician friends, or add a 
link to www.jjazzlab.com.


Thank you


Jerome
