Wholly greetings,

Without any further delay, here it goes:

Qtractor 0.9.10 (autumn'19) is now released!

The shortest and maybe TL;DR change-log for this northern Autumn'19 release goes like this:

• Fixed the potential crash-effect in switching MIDI output buses on tracks that are set to show audio output monitoring meters.
• Fixed initial session tempo override when importing a standard MIDI file (as reported on issue #230).
• An alternate time-signature/meter option is being served to the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) and allowing for some poly-rhythm/meter scenarios on a per MIDI clip basis.
• Fixed MIDI "overdub" recording on offset clips.
• MIDI bank and program settings now propagating to all MIDI track's clips resp.
• Fixed MIDI file format default setting other than SMF Format 0.
• Escape key may now be used to reset time and tempo/time-signature spin-box controls.
• Play-head time and tempo/time-signature controls are now featured in MIDI clip editor toolbars (aka. piano-roll); time display format is also separated from the tracks main application view and defaults to BBT as being most convenient.
• All items in the MIDI clip editor's event list are now enabled, selectable and editable, no matter the filter settings for the event views.
• Added alternate yet non-official CMake build option.
• Improved MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) position and size persistence across session state.
• Fix HiDPI display screen effective support (Qt >= 5.6).
• Mixer, Connections and MIDI clip editor top-level windows shall have no parent, unless when set as always-on-top tool windows. (REGRESSION)
• Make sure compiler flags comply to c++11 as standard.

Summer's gone! So is the austral winter...

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments are now released for the Northern Fall/Autumn season:

• synthv1 0.9.10
• samplv1 0.9.10
• drumkv1 0.9.10
• padthv1 0.9.10

All still available in dual form:

• 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.

Changes for this northern autumn'19 release goes like follows:

• Upstream packaging is now split on JACK standalone, LV2 plugin and common core and UI packages, similar to recent Debian practice.
• Highlight current element/sample/key on the virtual piano keyboard widget. (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
• Added alternate yet non-official CMake build option.
• Fix HiDPI display screen effective support (Qt >= 5.6).
• All randomizers now compliant to the standard normal distribution.
• Make sure compiler flags comply to c++11 as standard.

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.

Hello all,

For the third time and hopefully the last in the current northern estival season comes the final batch-of-one:

Qtractor 0.9.9 (summer'19) is out!

These are the changes for this Summer'19 release:

• Fixed editing and display of 'Pgm Change' events on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll).
• Introducing tempo/beat-detection support on the Clip / Tempo Adjust... dialog (provided libaubio >= 0.4.1 is available); and now also featured with some rough visual clues ;).
• Updated for the newer Qt5 development tools (>= 5.13).
• Imply asking for a brand new filename (ie. Save As...) whenever the session file original sample-rate differs from the current audio device engine (ie. JACK).
• Configure updated to check for qtchooser availability.
• Fix MIDI through for LV2 plug-ins that have no MIDI output event/atom ports.

Summery cheers!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments are here released for the northern estival sesson:

• synthv1 0.9.9
• samplv1 0.9.9
• drumkv1 0.9.9
• padthv1 0.9.9

All still available in dual form:

• 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 second batch of the Qstuff* Summer'19 release series are:

• Randomization of current parameters and partials is now available through a new top-level push-button and the context-menu respectively (partials randomization is applicable to padthv1 only).
• Zero-crossing detection algorithm has been improved, most specially to mitigate transient clicks across offset and/or loop points (whether applicable to samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• Updated for the newer Qt5 development tools (>= 5.13).
• Per instance custom tuning (micro-tonal) option has been added to the previously existing global settings (cf. Help > Configure... > Tuning > Global, Instance).
• New DCF, LFO and DCA Enabled parameters (DCA disabling is applicable to samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• Configure updated to check for qtchooser availability.

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.

Summery greetings y'all!

On the northern estival season comes the so called Qstuff* Summer'19 release madness galore...

Please enjoy the first batch:

• QjackCtl 0.5.9
• Qsynth 0.5.7
• Qsampler 0.5.6
• QXGEdit 0.5.5
• QmidiCtl 0.5.5
• QmidiNet 0.5.5

On the other news:

Maybe not as compelling as any of those bad old Qstuff* but jack_link has made it to version 0.0.9 ... Yeah, and some weeks ago already, must I tell ya ;)

jack_link is a JACK time-base--and now also a transport--kinda-proof-of-concept bridge to Ableton Link, which already goes into its V3 incarnation.

In a (long, rather boring) sentence, this means that jack_link is now a bilateral bridge--read two-way--to JACK time-base master to Ableton Link local-cloud;) and vice-versa.

The usual caveat emptor rule applies. It may work well--if at all--on some JACK clients and incredibly FUBAR for others (!). To speak the truth, it has been only tested with--and you know what--yours truly Qtractor. And that's what makes me happy :)

Hope it makes you too!

Awe cheers!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments are here once again released for the last time in Spring'19:

• synthv1 0.9.8
• samplv1 0.9.8
• drumkv1 0.9.8
• padthv1 0.9.8

All as ever before, still available in dual form:

• 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 Last of Spring'19 release are:

• Improved slew-rate to DCF Formant coefficient updates.
• Refactored the LFO Sync for correctness.
• Dropped LFO Sync parameter as being irrelevant across element voicings. (drumkv1 only)
• Fixed all LFO Panning and Volume modulation, now being correctly isolated on a per voice basis.

• Fixed initial DCO and LFO wave shapes on LV2 plug-in UI.
• Minor update to Debian packaging control file.

Hi all,

Too hot to make any boring introduction, so let's get this straight:

Qtractor 0.9.8 (spring'19) is released!

The changes for this yet another seasonal release are as follows:

• Plugin-lists and respective plugins state may now be exported and/or imported as XML files.
• When in Drum Mode, Key and Scale are meaningless and thus functionally disabled from the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll).
• MIDI clip editor's View > Ghost Track menu option is now finally a reality: show any existing MIDI track and its respective clips in the background as dimmed, semi-transparent aka. ghost events.
• Minor update to Debian packaging control file.
• Make sure partially selected clips are reset to whole when Shift/Ctrl keyboard modifiers are in effect, to prevent extraneous clip splits or cutaways afterwards.

Howdy!

QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface

QjackCtl 0.5.8 (spring'19) is now released!

QjackCtl is a(n ageing but still, modernized) Qt application to control the JACK sound server, for the Linux Audio infrastructure.

Hi there, trice again,

Like some post-LAC2019 frenzy hangover, here comes the third and final batch-of-one:

Qtractor 0.9.7 (spring-break'19) is out!

The changes for this seasonal release are as follows:

• Re-defined all main application UNIX signal handling.
• Fixed possible crash in drawing clips while rare loop-recording/takes situations.
• Main window stabilizing is now kind of asynchronous re. menus, tools and status bars.
• MIDI Controller's Latch Trice again, mode attribute on tracks and plugins are now properly saved/loaded as meant to be.
