Qtractor 0.9.5 - A Valentines'19 Hotfix Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, Qtractor 0.9.5 (valentines'19 hotfix) is out! Changes for this hot-fix release are as follows: - HiDPI display screen support (Qt >= 5.6; patch by Hubert Figuiere, thanks). - Fixed for DSSI plug-ins (eg. fluidsynth-dssi) loss of configuration state: clear internal config/state keys on release virtual method. (REGRESSION) - Fixed for NSM (and JACK) sessions not saving the correct file references/symlinks of clips that are recorded or created during the initial and scratch session. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Dear all, Qtractor 0.9.4 (winter'19 beta) is released! Changes for this season are as follows: - Drag-moving and copy-pasting existing clips, while over the main track-view, now shows the respective (audio wave-shapes and MIDI piano-rolls) graphical representations, as much as possible. - For good and bad, session name changes now trickle down to respective audio/MIDI file names as well. - Audio output monitoring meters may now be shown on MIDI tracks and buses as a default user preference option (View/ Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters) and also in plugin list context sub-menu (Audio/Meters). - Custom color (palette) themes can be exported to and imported from external files. - LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support are now enabled on configure by default. - Fixed minimum input value as 10% (was 1%) for audio clip time-stretching in the Clip / Edit... dialog. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Enjoy! https://github.com/ssj71/reMID.lv2/releases/tag/v0.2 reMID is a MIDI implementation of a MOS8580/6581 SID chip (Commodore64) using the reSID library.
