Qtractor 1.6.1 - An End-of-Spring'26 Release

Submitted by rncbc on

Howdy!

Qtractor 1.6.1 (end-of-spring'26) is out!

Change-log:

  • Fixed a prolly old bug on Clip/Normalize which was cutting short on the selected clip length, giving erroneous results sometimes.
  • Added option to lock toolbars in place on the main and MIDI clip editor windows; fixed MIDI clip editor's thumb-view toolbar not saving state after close.
  • Force (disconnect) all buses/ports and (deactivate) all plugin chains on session close.
  • Updated to CLAP v1.2.8
  • Distinguish all pseudo-plugin inserts by color, on whether their processing type is either audio or MIDI (in plugin-list boxes).
  • Avoid overlapping track header name and buttons (R, M, S and A) when reducing its height.
  • Mitigate some LV2 plug-in UI X11 (native) recursive resizing.
  • Fixed the confusing behavior on drag-n-dropping audio and/or MIDI files over the main window track-list (left pane).
  • Added simplified Chinese (zh_CN) translation.

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.

QmidiCtl 1.0.3 - A Mid-Spring'26 Release

Submitted by rncbc on

Hi again!

QmidiCtl 1.0.3 (mid-spring'26) is out!

QmidiCtl is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast (https://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (https://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.

See also: QmidiNet - A MIDI network gateway via UDP/IP multicast.

Change-log:

  • Get rid of CONFIG_WAYLAND build config option; add underlying platform name (eg. xcb, wayland) to Qt version string.
  • Bumping into next development cycle (Qt >= 6.11)

QmidiNet 1.0.2 - A Mid-Spring'26 Release

Submitted by rncbc on

Hi everyone!

QmidiNet 1.0.2 (mid-spring'26) is released!

QmidiNet is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA-MIDI and JACK-MIDI) over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows.

Change-log:

  • Get rid of CONFIG_WAYLAND build config option; add underlying platform name (eg. xcb, wayland) to Qt version string.

QXGEdit 1.0.2 - A Mid-Spring'26 Release

Submitted by rncbc on

Hi again!

QXGEdit 1.0.2 (mid-spring'26) is out!

QXGEdit is a live XG instrument editor, specialized on editing MIDI System Exclusive files (.syx) for the Yamaha DB50XG and thus probably a baseline for many other XG devices.

Change-log:

  • Get rid of CONFIG_WAYLAND build config option; add underlying platform name (eg. xcb, wayland) to Qt version string.
  • Bumping into next development cycle (Qt >= 6.11)

QSampler 1.0.2 - A Mid-Spring'26 Release

Submitted by rncbc on

Hi all!

Qsampler 1.0.2 (mid-spring'26) is out!

Qsampler is a LinuxSampler GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt framework using Qt Designer.

Change-log:

  • Fixed 'mime-info' file to the correct MIME-type icon names.
  • Get rid of CONFIG_WAYLAND build config option; add underlying platform name (eg. xcb, wayland) to Qt version string.
  • Bumping into next development cycle (Qt >= 6.11)

Vee One Suite 1.4.2 - A Spring'26 Release

Submitted by rncbc on

Hi all,

The Vee One Suite, the gang-of-four old-school software instruments,

  • synthv1 as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer;
  • samplv1 a polyphonic sampler synthesizer;
  • drumkv1 as yet another drum-kit sampler;
  • padthv1 a polyphonic additive synthesizer.

Are here updated to the (northern) Spring'26 season...

Still delivered in dual form:

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

Change-log:

  • Fixed the opening/loading sample file of an empty element, often requiring a second try to show up correctly on the LV2 Plug-in's GUI (JACK stand-alone was/is fine; applies to drumkv1 only)
  • Bumping into next development cycle (Qt >= 6.11)

QjackCtl 1.0.6 - A Spring'26 Release

Submitted by rncbc on

Hi y'all!

QjackCtl 1.0.6 (spring'26) is released!

QjackCtl is an aged yet modern, not so simple anymore, Qt application to control the JACK sound server, for the Linux Audio infrastructure.

Change-log:

  • Graph: make sure thumb-view widget background is filled/opaque (ie. not transparent)
  • Fixed JACK metadata properties assignment (aka. pretty-names) vs. native client/port name aliases.
