How to extend note in step record mode

Forums

I'm not sure wether this is a missing feature or I'm just dumb. But I cannot find a good way to extend the note I'm playing while on step recording mode in the pianoroll. Right arrow just adds a rest everytime, it would be perfect while holding my key then pressing right arrow it would extend the note and if I'm not holding the key then it would be rest. I know there are binds for snap length but its just fractions of beats. I'm on version 1.5.11.7, QT 6.4.2.

Drumk1 & Samplv1 | More consistent relative paths

Forums

First things first. Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Hi Rui:
If I understand correctly, when we save in Qtz, the Drumkv1 and Samplv1 samples are marked as relative (FREE_PATH) by Qtractor.

I think that in addition to this behavior, it would make sense for them to also be marked as relative in Qtr sessions if the samples are located within the project folder (it doesn't matter if it's in the root of the project folder or in subfolders within the project folder).

Edit Markers

Hi,

Please share the process for removing the blue lines, markers, from a track after using them.

Also, is it possible to have the head of these marker lines and the head of the red transport line be any bigger so it is easier to grab and move them?

Thanks,
SHD

MIDI clip recording latency compensation

Forums

Audio latency can be large in big projects due to increased bufsize or external insert sends in buses. This leads to big offsets in recorded MIDI files when playing along and recording MIDI.

So I propose that the notes in MIDI clips are shifted automatically after recording.

Since the combination of audio latency and MIDI latency cannot be determined automatically, I propose a configuration setting in View>Options->MIDI.

Regarding the AppImage

Forums

Hi Rui:

This isn't a request, just a thought.
I've found a problem with the AppImage format: it hides application resources from the user, preventing them from editing, customizing, or even expanding the application (with more resources like templates, presets, or demo sessions).

I tried running the AppImage, copying the usr folder from the temporary directory, and pasting it into a folder called "QtractorPortable".

MIDI Controller is already assigned

Forums

I wanted to assign the same "Note On" from my external MIDI controller to the Mute-button of multiple tracks.
Then I got "MIDI Controller is already assigned" and could choose between Cancel and Replace.

Is it buried deep in Qtractor's code that one MIDI action cannot lead to multiple actions in Qtractor, or would it be possible to offer "[Cancel] [Add] [Replace]"?

Bug MimeTypes

Forums

I've been dealing with this since I started compiling Qtractor. (Years?)

I thought it was a side effect of compiling, but it's not. :) It's simply that the bug isn't present in older versions.

In the .desktop file, it says:

MimeType=application/x-qtractor-session;application/x-qtractor-template;application/x-qtractor-archive;

However, the icon names are:

org.rncbc.qtractor.application-x-qtractor-session;

org.rncbc.qtractor.application-x-qtractor-template;

org.rncbc.qtractor.application-x-qtractor-archive;

They don't match.
