Qtractor 0.8.4 - End of Summer'17 release!

Yes, it's been like clockwork...

Every two months or so, you stumbled with a brand new dot release, code-named after some of the same adjective-plus-noun (or vice versa) code-names. You knew the thrill and yet it lands no more.

First, the code-naming joke has been just a parody--or was it the other way around?--to some well known Linux-distro alimalistic code-name series. Then on it got rogue into some directed puns--remember the date when BitWig Studio 1.0 was first released? Yeah, the "Byte Bald" was there for the pun, on the very same day :)

Well, that's all gone by now.

Northern hemisphere seasons are the new norm and that's about two main reasons: first, it's where I live; second, due to an undeniable global warming effect pervading the globe, all geographical temperate zones are simply on the edge of extinction. More or less in a couple of decades or so. For the sake of brevity, I will just leave it like paying homage to those natural concepts that are facing an inexorable fate.

And yet, there're still the good news:

Qtractor 0.8.4 (end of summer'17) released!

Change-log:

  • Assigned MIDI Controllers to plug-in's Activate switch are now finally saved and (re)loaded properly across sessions.
  • Audio clip panning option property is now being introduced.
  • Out-of-process (aka. dummy) VST plug-in inventory scanning now restarts automatically and resumes processing in case of a premature exit/crash; VST plug-in inventory scan/cache persistency is now in place.
  • Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent from build/configure template chains.
  • Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo file (formerly AppData).
  • Changing the View/Options.../Display/Custom/Style theme takes effect immediately unless it's back to "(default)".
  • Slightly slower but better approximation to IEEE 32bit floating point cubic root ie. cbrtf().

Vee One Suite 0.8.4 - A Late-Summer'17 release


Greetings!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1, as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 as yet another drum-kit sampler, welcomes a brand new and fourth member, padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, now joining the late-summer'17 release party.

All 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;

Qtractor 0.8.3 - The Stickiest Tauon is out!

Howdy!

Qtractor 0.8.3 (stickiest tauon) is out!

Changes for this mostly just a bug-fix beta release::

  • Make sure any just recorded clip filename is not reused while over the same track and session. (CRITICAL)
  • LV2 Plug-in worker/schedule interface ring-buffer sizes have been increased to 4KB.
  • Fixed track-name auto-incremental numbering suffix when modifying any other track property.
  • WSOLA vs. (lib)Rubberband time-stretching options are now individualized on a per audio clip basis.
  • Long overdue, some brand new and fundamental icons revamp.
  • Fixed a tempo-map node add/update/remove rescaling with regard to clip-lengths and automation/curve undo/redo.
  • Fixed a potential Activate automation/curve index clash, or aliasing, for any plug-ins that change upstream their parameter count or index order, on sessions saved with the old plug-in versions and vice-versa.

Vee One Suite 0.8.3 - A Summer'17 release


Howdy!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1, as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 as yet another drum-kit sampler, are into a hot Summer'17 release!

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 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.

Qtractor 0.8.2 - A Stickier Tauon release


And now for something ultimately pretty much expected: the Qstuff* pre-LAC2017 release frenzy wrap up!

Qtractor 0.8.2 (a stickier tauon) is released!

Change-log:

  • Track-name uniqueness is now being enforced, by adding an auto-incremental number suffix whenever necessary.
  • Attempt to raise an internal transient file-name registry to prevent automation/curve files to proliferate across several session load/save (re)cycles.
  • Track-height resizing now meets immediate visual feedback.
  • A brand new user preference global option is now available: View/Options.../Plugins/Editor/Select plug-in's editor (GUI) if more than one is available.
  • More gradient eye-candy on main track-view and piano-roll canvases, now showing left and right edge fake-shadows.
  • Fixed the time entry spin-boxes when changing time offset or length fields in BBT time format that goes across any tempo/time-signature change nodes.
  • French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
