Description:

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI event generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player.

The precompiled packages include the GeneralUser GS SoundFont by S.Christian
Collins ready to use with the FluidSynth output driver (also included in these packages, providing beautiful sounds out of the box).

Features;
* 1 MIDI IN port
* 1 MIDI OUT/THRU port
* Configurable number of keys/octaves
* Configurable key size
* MIDI standards compliant
* Configurable computer keyboard mappings

Minimum requirements for all platforms: CMake 3.0, Qt 5.1, Drumstick 1.0

Please use the mailing list for questions and comments. Thanks.

Why did you switched to Drumstick RT instead of RtMIDI?

Good question, but wrong place to ask it. VMPK development is done at sourceforge.net, where you may find a web forum and a mailing list. You are welcome to participate and talk there about VMPK development, design, bugs and features.

Thanks for your interest.

You are using a qmake utility version that is not supported. You probably have qmake from qt3 instead of qt4, or some conflict among different Qt versions.

The official way to build and install VMPK on Linux is using the CMake based build system.

hmm, can't edit my post- here's more:

i'm on Qt 2010.04 and don't really need 64bit, just want to complie it.
other programs i built compile and run fine! must be some target-setting...?

plcl

Hi,

I don't have a win7/64 to test, but the program builds and runs just fine in 64bit Linux and MacOSX machines.

A suggestion: download a fresh source tarball from SourceForge, and build a new fresh tree. Are you using qmake or cmake build systems?

If you need more help, please use the forums at SourceForge, thanks.

hi!
this compiled fine on my xp32 system.
but now i moved to a "hp touchsmart tm2"running win7 64bit...
i just copied the project folder, cleaned, deleted "build" folder, but i get a "*** no rule o make target" error.

do i have to change some settings / add something to the .pro?

would like to use this on a touchscreen...
thx!

I tried to build the piano widget and I'm getting the following link errors

Undefined symbols:
"_GetEventKind", referenced from:
RawKeybdApp::macEventFilter(OpaqueEventHandlerCallRef*, OpaqueEventRef*) in rawkeybdapp.o
"_GetEventParameter", referenced from:
RawKeybdApp::macEventFilter(OpaqueEventHandlerCallRef*, OpaqueEventRef*) in rawkeybdapp.o
"_GetEventClass", referenced from:
RawKeybdApp::macEventFilter(OpaqueEventHandlerCallRef*, OpaqueEventRef*) in rawkeybdapp.o

Anyone know how to fix this?
THanks,
David

P.S. Although I would have loved to have posted this comment in the widget page itself, for some reason, I could not get that page to show up as "logged in"

Hi,

Yes, if you are using Qt 4.6 in Mac OSX, please add to both demo.pro and plugin.pro the following line:

LIBS += -framework Carbon

What is wrong?

plcl

The failure happened trying to generate the manpage from the xml docbook document.

The build system has detected that the program xsltproc is installed, but either the stylesheets for docbook or the XSLT catalogs are missing.

There are two possible solutions:
a) Uninstall xsltproc and restart from the beginning
or
b) Install the docbook stylesheets, and run make again, it will finish the started process.

I don't know the exact name of the packages for Mandriva, sorry.

Thanks, but still I have a problem, somthing was wrong and I thing program is not complete. In RPM I have files:
‎/usr
‎/usr/share
‎/usr/share/doc
‎/usr/share/doc/vmpk*
‎/usr/share/doc/vmpk*/AUTHORS
‎/usr/share/doc/vmpk*/COPYING
‎/usr/share/doc/vmpk*/ChangeLog
‎/usr/share/doc/vmpk*/NEWS
‎/usr/share/doc/vmpk*/README
‎/usr/share/doc/vmpk*/TODO
You can see, there is now binary files? what is wrong? RPM was cerated by checkinstall

I don't know anything about checkinstall. Sorry.

If you want to create a RPM package for Mandriva, please take a look to the .spec file from Cooker:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/vmpk/current/SPECS/

To create the RPM package, use rpmbuild.
