The Ides of March '24

It's upon us...

The good news are: just completed a successful migration to KDE Plasma 6 on ALL of the boxes in the house: 2 desktops and 3 laptops. No blisters found, hurray! Huge congratulations to the KDE Team and all the unspoken contributors who made this a whole milestone and a quite smooth transition!

Now for the possible bad news: all upstream (that's me) QStuff* support for anything older than Qt6.0 is going to be scuttled, give or take a week, a month or two.

Moving forward... 🐱 because, there's no other way ;)

Cheers

Qtractor 0.9.39 - A Winter'24 Release batch #3

Hi there, twice again!

Now making up the QStuff* third batch of the New Year...

Qtractor 0.9.39 (winter'24) is out!

Maybe, just maybe--no promises here whatsoever--this could be very well be the last before the unthinkable 🐱?

Change-log:

  • Added build checks on whether to use old or newer style of LV2 include headers.
  • Introducing new Transport/Step/Backward and Forward menu actions, to move the play-head backward and forward, in bar/beat/fraction (snap-per-beat) steps, respectively.
  • Introducing View/Options.../Display/Custom/Style sheet (*.qss) application themeing option.
  • Improved MIDI clip editor centering to current mouse pointer position in main timeline (tracks-view); on both horizontal and vertical axes.
  • LV2 Plug-in Control Input Port-change request extension feature support added.
  • Fixed an old one-off plug-in parameter change command aliasing (undo/redo).
  • Updated copyright headers into the New Year (2024).

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 0.9.34 - A Winter'24 Release batch #2

Hi there, once again,

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments,
