Qtractor 0.9.17 - An End-of-Summer'20 Release


So long Summer'20,

Qtractor 0.9.17 (end-of-summer'20) is released!

Change-log:

  • Early fixing to build for Qt >= 6.0.0 and the C++17 standard.
  • Fixed crash when changing an auto-monitored audio track's number of channels due on switching its audio output bus.
  • Avoid a complete track re-open when changing properties, unless either input or output buses are changed.
  • Fixed custom track icon selection when none is currently set.

Vee One Suite 0.9.17 - A Late Summer'20 Release


One lousy Summer, just saying goodbye,...

And now this...

The Vee One Suite of 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 here released for the (Northern) Summer'20 ending season and bumped to version 0.9.17.

Featuring:

  • 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.

Change-log:

  • Arbitrary number of pitch-shifted octave sample tables is now an instance parameter; pitch-shifting algorithm is selected as a global user preference option cf. Help > Configure... > Options > Pitch-shift type: S.M.Bernsee classic algorithm (default) or RubberBand library. (applies to samplv1 only)
  • Added -n, --client-name to the JACK stand-alone client application command line option arguments.
  • Fixed uninitialized number of voices variable; early-bird adaptations to Qt6 >= 6.0.0 and C++17 standard.

Qtractor 0.9.16 - QStuff* Summer'20 Release batch #3


Greetings

One third and last time around...

Qtractor 0.9.16 (summer'20) is out!

Change-log:

  • Experimental / High resolution plugin automation (14-bit) options is now also removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog.
  • Audio Clip / Export... now takes into account custom fixed gain property (shamefully missing for the whole last decade to date).
  • Finally indulged on dummy LV2 plug-in CVPort support, just to avoid certain immediate and sudden crashes when inserting those kind of 'non-functional' plugins accidentally.
  • Bring the Track Export dialog down to Clip Merge/Export as well, for optional file type and format selection.
  • When enabled, do auto-save upon adding or inserting a new plugin.
  • Make sure LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 native support is selected first by default on top to libsuil.
  • Both out-of-process plugin inventory scan and LV2 Dynamic manifest options have been removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog.
  • Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6.

Vee One Suite 0.9.16 - QStuff* Summer'20 Release batch #2


Greetings, one more time!

The Vee One Suite of 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 here released as the second bunch of the QStuff* for the (Northern) Summer'20 season and then bumped to version 0.9.16.

All (still) delivered in dual form:

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

Nothing much this time around, just some janitorial nitpicking:

  • Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6.

Qtractor 0.9.15 - An Early-Summer'20 Release


Hi y'all!

Let's go straight to the real good news ;)...

Qtractor 0.9.15 (early-summer'20) is released!

Change-log:

  • Fixed MIDI tracks export that were missing the end-of-export tail parameter and bailing out always with default SMF format anyway.
  • Fixed VST3 component/controller inter-connection.
  • LV2 Atom/Port-event host notification support has been retouched, but still unofficial though.
  • Fixed VST3 audio-processor initialization/activation when a plugin has no inputs or outputs present.
  • Let main window pseudo-asynchronous stabilization re. menus, tools and status bars, just faster and immediate.
  • Fixed MIDI track monitor re-instantiation and reset.

Hi everyone!

Happy to announce the Vee One Suite of 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 once again released for this not-so-pretty Early-Summer'20 season... ;)

Qtractor 0.9.14 - A Mid-Spring'20 Release

  • LV2 Atom/Port-event host notification support has been implemented (unofficial).
  • Fix clean-up of any recording leftovers.

  • Attempt to force correct audio clip offsets due on recording latency compensation are not quantized to MIDI metronomic time-scale anymore.
  • LV2 Plug-in MIDNAM support introduced.
  • Use Shift or Ctrl keyboard modifiers with the mouse- wheel to change any Direct Access plug-in parameters (issue #257).

Qtractor 0.9.13 - A QStuff* Spring'20 Release batch #3


Greetings, just one third time!

Qtractor 0.9.13 (spring'20) is released!

Change-log:

  • All meters background color are now customize-able (cf. View/Options.../Display/Meters, color level "Back").

  • Always show plugins and meters on track list/left pane as permanent standard now.
  • LV2 UI Request-value feature/interface support has been implemented.
  • Audio output monitoring meters are now shown/hidden auto-magically on MIDI tracks and/or buses--no need for some user preference option anymore (ie. View/Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters, is now gone).
  • Default track height has been slightly increased.
  • Track / Duplicate Track... now also takes a MIDI track's audio meters setting into account.
  • VST3 plug-in support introduced. (EXPERIMENTAL)
  • Fixed first bar/measure position drawing on the time-scale/grid across time-signature changes on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) (hopefully fixing issue #245).
  • Plugins and meters on track list/left pane, are now being set on as default--maybe going stapled in some near future ;)
  • Make man page compression reproducible (after request by Jelle van der Waa, while on the Vee-Ones, thanks).
  • Avoid resetting top or left position when zooming with mouse pointer is in main tracks or MIDI clip editor (piano-roll) views.
  • Make libaubio a build dependency on Debian/Ubuntu; also fix cross-build check to sizeof(float).
  • Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020).
