[ANN] The QStuff* End-of-Summer'23 Release batch #1

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello there! Here the first batch of the 'QStuff*': QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], released for the (northern) End-of-Summer'23 season. Enjoy while it's still hot. ** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] ** QjackCtl 0.9.12 (end-of-summer'23) is out! QjackCtl is an aged yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore, Qt [7] application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio [12] infrastructure. Change-log: - Setup: disable Settings parameters altogether, except frames/period (aka. buffer-size) if running in the so called 'Active' pure-client mode (eg. under PipeWire's pw-jack substitution). - Connections: Fixed an old JACK client/ports aliases malfunction, hopefully. - Graph: Ctrl+left or middle-button click-dragging for panning, is now a lot smoother, hopefully. - Graph: Click-dragging with the mouse middle-button is now used for panning only, not to start a selection anymore. - Preppings to next development cycle (Qt >= 6.6) Website: https://qjackctl.sourceforge.io http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net Project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjackctl/files - source tarball: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12.tar.gz - source package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.rncbc.suse.src.rpm - binary packages: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.rncbc.suse.x86_64.rpm - AppImage [20] package: https://download.sf.net/qjackctl/qjackctl-0.9.12-56.1.x86_64.AppImage Git repos: https://git.code.sf.net/p/qjackctl/code https://github.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://gitlab.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git https://codeberg.com/rncbc/qjackctl.git ** Qsynth - A FluidSynth Qt GUI Interface [2] ** Qsynth 0.9.12 (end-of-summer'23) is out!

Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.

USB midi port midi event stopping jack server

by John Marshall

The external USB midi port shows up in the qjackctl graph. The midi dongle works fine in other Windows apps. It was also working with jack not long ago since then I have upgraded the PC and reinstalled Windows. Windows version is 10. qjackctl messages: 03:45:32.764 Statistics reset. 03:45:37.209 JACK is starting... 03:45:37.210 D:/msys64/ucrt64/bin/jackd.exe -S -X winmme -dportaudio 03:45:37.281 JACK was started with PID=11604. jackdmp 1.9.22 Copyright 2001-2005 Paul Davis and others.
