Qtractor 0.7.2 - The Tacky Gluon beta release
Season greetings to y'all,
As cheesy as it might go, as a must already,
Quite frankly, there's nothing really stopping you from an upgrade or rather update to taste! :)
Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
Major highlights for this dot release are:
- MIDI Track/Instrument bank/programs menu (NEW)
- VST plug-ins preset/bank (FXP/FXB) files support (NEW)
- Duplicate track menu command (NEW)
- XRUN status bar indicator (NEW)
And, of course, Qtractor is now built to Qt5 as per configure default.
Hope you enjoy.

Change-log:
- Yet another audio/MIDI time drift correction fix, now giving it some slack while turnaround looping on tempo changes.
- Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix platforms.
- MIDI Track/Instrument cascading pop-up menus have been added, to main and MIDI clip editor windows.
- VST Plugin preset/bank files support (FXB/FXP) is now being integrated to the generic Plugin/Properties widget dialog.
- Added new Track/Duplicate menu command.
- Added simple XRUN red indicator to status bar.
- Make sure program change/presets are not selected on possibly multi-timbral instrument plugins when inserted on a MIDI bus.
- Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
- Fixed a potential crash-bug on first enabling either once the audio or MIDI metronomes.
Hope you enjoy && have fun.

Hi everybody!!
- Why is the note played on the MIDI keyboard not highlighted on the pianoroll? That would be so merry (and would help speed up tedious MIDI controller/Keyboard sessions in the MIDI clip editor
- Why is Qtractor rewinding at the end of a midi clip (witch happens to be the last element of the song) and not at the starting play position? (auto backwards/continue past end both checked) this is a big one. I find this "end of the song" invisible marker a bit confusing..? Is there a way to always rewind where playback started no-matter-what?
- I noticed, in the tooltips of an audio clip, "offset" and that makes me wonder: If I know that I took my bass with a 16ms latency, is there a way to precisely move/offset said bass take juust 16ms back in time? Oh wait, there is. In the clip properties, of course, silly me.
- Is there a "resize to fit" zoom command that would display all the song withing the actual timeline window width?
Hope I'm making a little sense, but even if I'm not, happy new year to you all!!

maybe you have Transport/Auto Backward turned on and sneaked/caught by it's automagic effect? :)

no there isn't, but there's always the thumbnail view for the rescue (check View/Toolbars/Thumb).
hth.
cheers
