Dear all,

Changes for this season are as follows:

• Drag-moving and copy-pasting existing clips, while over the main track-view, now shows the respective (audio wave-shapes and MIDI piano-rolls) graphical representations, as much as possible.
• For good and bad, session name changes now trickle down to respective audio/MIDI file names as well.
• Audio output monitoring meters may now be shown on MIDI tracks and buses as a default user preference option (View/ Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters) and also in plugin list context sub-menu (Audio/Meters).
• Custom color (palette) themes can be exported to and imported from external files.
• LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support are now enabled on configure by default.
• Fixed minimum input value as 10% (was 1%) for audio clip time-stretching in the Clip / Edit... dialog.

Hello there!

Another year, another rtirq update:

• Restart rtirq service after resume from suspend (by Térence Clastres).
• Fix for some Intel internal and USB stuff (by Samuel Pelegrinello).
• Version 20190129.

Home-brew packages are available here:

Again take note that the rtirq init-script/systemd-service makes sense only on real-time preemptive (PREEMPT_RT) or threadirqs enabled GNU/Linux kernels.

Cheers && Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

QmidiCtl is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast (http://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (http://nerds.de). QmidiCtl was long ago designed for the Maemo enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 and promoted to the Maemo Package repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.

Change-log (since An(other) Early Summer'18 release):

• Added proper display names to Command and Control Type entry fields on Configure dialog (ie. MIDI controller assignments dialog).
• Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more.
• AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all permissive license (FSFAP); also updated to be the most compliant with latest freedesktop.org specification and recommendation.

Enjoy && have fun.

Greetings!

The Vee One Suite of so called old-school software instruments, synthv1, as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are being released for the late in Autumn'18.

All still available in dual format:

• a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support;
• a LV2 instrument plug-in.

The changes for this special season are the following:

• Make sure all LV2 state sample file references are resolved to their original and canonical file-paths (not symlinks). (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
• Fixed a severe bug on saving the LV2 plug-in state: the sample file reference was being saved with the wrong name identifier and thus gone missing on every session or state reload thereafter.(applies to samplv1 only).
• Sample waveform drawing is a bit more keen to precision.
• Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more.
• Normalized wavetable oscillator phasors.
• Added missing include <unistd.h> to shut up some stricter compilers from build failures.

The Vee One Suite are free, open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Finally!

All the changes that were simply decrastinated for this season are as follows:

• Auto-backward now skips the end-of-session location.
• Audio clip time-stretching and pitch-shifting limits are now 10-fold in either direction.
• Custom color (palette) theme editor introduced; color (palette) theme changes are now effective immediately, except on default.
• Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more.
• Recover audio and MIDI dedicated port connections when changing any of the Metronome, Player and/or Control option settings.
• Fix MIDI track (and bus) bank/program reset to none.
• Anti-glitch micro-fade-in is disabled on audio clips with zero offset.
• Audio and MIDI file players also stopped on Transport / Panic command.
• LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support are now disabled on default configure.
• Get rid of symlink duplicates on the default plugin search paths.
• According to Debian policy and guidelines, the out-of process plugin scanner (qtractor_plugin_scan) is now installed to $LIBDIR/qtractor.
