Hello all,

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

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.

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.

QmidiCtl - A MIDI Remote Controller via UDP/IP Multicast

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.

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!
