Qtractor 0.9.2 - The Summer'18 Release


At last!

Qtractor 0.9.2 (summer'18 beta) is released!

Not much has changed but here's the change-log:

  • 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.
  • Fix build for Qt >= 5.11.0 (by David Geiger, thanks); also for some g++ >= 8.1.1 warnings and quietness.

Description:

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.

Vee One Suite 0.9.2 - A Summer'18 Release


Awe!

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 here released for the northern Summer'18.

All available in dual standard forms:

  • 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 mostly common change-log for the hot-season is as follows:

    • Frame-time display format option added to new offset, loop-start and loop-end spin-boxes. (applies to samplv1 and also partially to drumkv1)
    • Sample start point (offset) added as a brand new property parameter. (samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
    • Add LV2 UI Resize extension data support.
    • Process MIDI Controlllers even though the channel filter is on (DEF Channel is set anything but "Omni").
    • AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all permisssive license (FSFAP).

    Also, let it be known here, that there are a few and notable contributions currently evolving on the user documentation area, as follows:

    Please help if you can ;)

    QmidiCtl 0.5.2 - An(other) Early Summer'18 Release


    Hello there!

    QmidiCtl 0.5.2 (early summer'18) is out!

    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 has been primarily designed for the Maemo enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 and also being promoted to the Maemo Package repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and as an Android application as well.

    Vee One Suite 0.9.1 - An Early Summer'18 Release


    Hi!

    One more time and not the last!

    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 here once again released just before the northern hot-season starts...

    For all you meridional fans: don't ever take this as some kind of a disadvantage: you'll sure have it perfect and practice while northlings may go party and bust, whatever ;)

    Still available in the so called dual standard forms, for Linux anyway:

  • 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 change for this joy-of-season goes as follows:

    • Loop crossfading and zero-crossing detection (the later being an old staple by default) are now set as brand new user options accessible from the main UI. (applies to samplv1 only)
    • Fixed for some g++ >= 8.1.1 warnings and quietness.
    • Added LV2 UI X11 support option.
    • Disable reference micro-tuning settings when a Scala keyboard map override is in effect.
    • Added "All files (*.*)" filter to every file requestor dialog, wherever missing.

    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.
