Name        : jack-keyboard
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 2.7.1
Release     : 1.fc17
URL         : http://sourceforge.net/projects/jack-keyboard/
Summary     : Virtual keyboard for JACK MIDI
Description :
jack-keyboard is a virtual MIDI keyboard - a program that allows you to send
JACK MIDI events using your PC keyboard. It's somewhat similar to vkeybd,
except it uses JACK MIDI instead of ALSA, and the default keyboard mapping is
much better - it uses the same layout as trackers (like Impulse Tracker) did,
so you have two and half octaves under your fingers.

Update Information:

User-visible changes between 2.6 and 2.7.1 include:

 - fix a warning regarding the redefinition of NNOTES

 - raise NNOTES from 127 to 128 (only notes 0..125 were being shown
 because 127 was < NNOTES and 126 is black)

 - only show the keys that exist on a real piano by default, and add a
 "-f" ('full midi keyboard') command line option to show all midi
 notes.

 - make the dimensions slightly closer to a real piano by:
   > making the black key hight two third of the white key height
   > making the black key positions vary based on their position in
     the octave

 - adding a QWERTY_REV layout that has the lower keys on the upper row
 of the keyboard

 - adding QWERTY_UK and QWERTY_UK_REV layouts that extend the QWERTY
 and QWERTY_REV layouts with the punctuation keys available on those
 rows

User-visible changes between 2.5 and 2.6 include:

 - Bugfix: A key volume of zero means key off.
 - Bugfix: Make pianola/OMNI mode the default.
 - Feature: Don't start jackd when starting jack-keyboard.
