FreeWheeling is an audio tool for live looping. It provides a highly configurable, fluid user interface for instrumentalists to capture loops in real-time. Based on the JACK, ALSA, and SDL libraries, it integrates with FluidSynth, a software synthesizer. Freewheeling empowers the trance of immediate creativity by bringing us into a circular process. Time is utterly relative, and we are freed from the future-oriented mindset of product sequencing. If inspiration flows, later arranging and editing on a timeline can be done with other tools. New user interface: Mouse support Click on loops triggers them. This can be configured. See loop-clicked in .fweelin.rc. Joystick support Joystick buttons can now trigger events. For example, I have used FW with a DDR dance mat to trigger loops. See joybutton in .fweelin.rc. New engage and shot options in trigger-loop. Engage forces a loop to ON or OFF, overriding the default toggle behavior. You can use it to create triggers that play short bursts, rather than long loops. "Shot to be implemented. Stability improvements Better thread safety and design improvements to the real-time memory manager have improved stability. Significant improvements to loop/scene management and browsing You can now give loops and scenes your own names New names are stored within the filename of library files Expanded browser window shows several items at once Browser now sorts so that newer loops and scenes are first Better handling of looppoints Resolved issue with clicking at the looppoint on reloaded loops. Resolved sporadic clicks on syncronized loops. Better handling of loading/saving loops Adjustable video loop delay You can now adjust the performance of FreeWheeling by changing the delay between video refreshes. Several people asked for this feature, because FW is processor-heavy on the video side. The video thread does run at a low priority, and so it should not affect the performance of other realtime audio threads. However, the system may get sluggish, and if this happens, you may want to increase the delay in .fweelin.rc: < var videodelay="20"/ > Fixes Fixed pure virtual method called segfault Fixed segfault when browsing past end of FluidSynth patch list Various fixes to reduce CPU hogging Merged patches from Piems debian package: MaxVol, compile fixes for GCC 4.0, and removal of non-free elements FW can now run without physical JACK inputs or outputs.
