Hey, Spring'16 release frenzy isn't over as of just yet ;)

Keeping up with the tradition,

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.

On the wake of the miniLAC2016@c-base.org Berlin, and keeping up with tradition, the most venerable of the Qstuff* are under so called Spring'16 release frenzy.

Enjoy the party!

• QjackCtl 0.4.2
• Qsynth 0.4.1
• Qsampler 0.4.0
• QXGEdit 0.4.0
• QmidiCtl 0.4.0
• QmidiNet 0.4.0

Details are as follows...

Hello everybody!

It comes with one top recommendation though: please update, at once, while it's hot! :)

Highlights for this dot/beta release:

• Overlapping clips cross-fade (NEW)
• MIDI Send/Return and Aux-Send insert plugins (NEW)
• Generic and custom track icons eye-candy (NEW)

Some other interesting points may be found in the blunt and misty change-log below.

Hello again,

The so called Vee One Suite aka. the gang of three of old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1, as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 as one drum-kit sampler, are released yet again in their ninth official beta second iteration (bis).

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.

As simple as a change-log may go:

• Fixed the DCF Formant filter voice initialization reset.
• French translation updated (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).

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.

And so they go again!

The Vee One Suite aka. the gang of three old-school software instruments, synthv1 polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 drum-kit sampler, are now released in their ninth official beta iteration.

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;
• a LV2 instrument plug-in.

In common to all three comes the spartan change-log:

• Avoid out-of-bound MIDI events as much as possible, coping with LV2 plug-in hosts that feed/run them in on border line circumstances (as reported by Thorsten Wilms, on suspected Ardour looping crash/bug, probably fixed already, thanks).
• Tentatively safe defaults are being introduced to internal OUT FX buffer-sizes, as read from JACK buffer-size changes and LV2 block-length instantiation bound options.
• Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
