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 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).

• 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!

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!

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.

Wholly cheers!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments are here again and now released for the second QStuff* Spring Break'19 batch post-LAC2019 frenzy:

• synthv1 0.9.7
• samplv1 0.9.7
• drumkv1 0.9.7
• padthv1 0.9.7

All still delivered 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 are that there are quite a few fixes since previous releases:

• Corrected sample offset and loop range internal reset (samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• All audio input now get through without being processed by any or whole effects stage anymore.
• Re-defined all JACK stand-alone client application UNIX signal handling.
• Probable fix to sample offset and loop range changes across native UI and loading and saving state. (samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
