Qtractor 1.2.0 - A Mid-Summer'24 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings y'all, Qtractor 1.2.0 (mid-summer'24) is out! Change-log: - Check whether a LV2 plug-in UI no-user-resize feature is being explicitly requested. - Auto-backward is now strictly to the play-head position playback was last started. - MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) undo/redo command stack is now held at the MIDI clip instance level and thus shared and the same to all respective linked clips; as bonus, it also survives the main session undo/redo command stack as well. - MIDI clip editor (View/) Drum Mode option is now persistent on a clip basis and across sessions. - Fixed NSM session initialization disabling auto-save and the new session template features altogether. - Fixed crash when removing a MIDI track that is currently set as ghost to open MIDI clip editor(s), or it's been duplicated just recently. - New MIDI clip tools: Resize / Join, Split notes. - Session templates do not impose an audio sample-rate anymore, now being hopefully sample-rate agnostic; also, the edit-head/tail cursors, loop-start/end and punch-in/out ranges and state are now simply ignored on loading and saving session templates. - MIDI tracks now show the respective audio output bus name, or dedicated port name whether applicable, under the 'Bus' column of main tracks left pane, above plugins list-box. - Mixer: also highlight both input and output bus strips, directly related to the current highlighted track. 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.

QMidiArp 0.7.1 released

by Frank Kober

Dear all, QMidiArp 0.7.1 has just been released. This is an important maintenance release fixing an ugly bug where the sequencer module crashed right away when added. The bug had been around for quite some time, because it did not expose on all c++ system implementations. Best Frank Description QMidiArp is an advanced MIDI arpeggiator, programmable step sequencer and LFO for Linux. It can hold any number of arpeggiator, sequencer, or LFO modules running in parallel. It does not produce sound by itself and needs to be connected to software or hardware synthesizer. Arpeggiator modules produce sequences depending on the notes sent to their input port, which is typically connected to a keyboard or another sequencer. Step sequencer modules allow you to create simple linear, monophonic and globally transposable sequences similar to the first analog sequencers. MIDI LFO modules independently produce MIDI controller data of adjustable waveform, time resolution, amplitude and duration. A Global Storage Tool can store different setups and switch between them at a given time. It allows you to dynamically combine patterns and LFO wave forms. The modules are also available as LV2 MIDI plugins.

Ratatouille.lv2 v0.8 released

by Hermann Meyer

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows. This release does several small fixes. Ratatouille allow to load up to two neural model files and mix there output. Those models could be [*.nam files](https://tonehunt.org/all) or [*.json or .aidax files](https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all). So you could blend from clean to crunch for example, or, go wild and mix different amp models, or mix a amp with a pedal simulation. Ratatouille using parallel processing to process the second neural model and the second IR-File to reduce the dsp load. The "Delay" control could add a small delay to the second model to overcome phasing issues, or to add some color/reverb to the sound. To round up the sound it allow to load up to two Impulse Response files and mix there output as well. You could try the wildest combinations, or, be conservative and load just your single preferred IR-File. Each neural model may have a different expected Sample Rate, Ratatouille will resample the buffer to match that. Impulse Response Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session Sample Rate.

Qtractor 1.1.1 - A Summer'24 Hotfix Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, Now for a quite urgent matter: Qtractor 1.1.1 (summer'24 hotfix) released! Change-log: - Fixed an incredibly severe bug, introduced very recently, that deletes all MIDI files belonging to active clips, when closing and discarding a modified session without saving. - Fixed MIDI clip recording when note-off events are missing or not transmitted. - Fixed a relatively old crash-bug that manifests on undoing several free-hand drawn events (Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw) in the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll). 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.

Qtractor 1.1.0 - A Summer'24 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hello again, Qtractor 1.1.0 (summer'24) is out! Change-log: - Fixed MIDI clip step-input when play-head is located beyond or after the end of the active looping/cycle range. - Fixed whole clip selection, implied after dragging the lasso over the left and before the beginning of timeline. - Clip/Unlink is now a undo/redo-able command. - All sessions now honor their designated resolution property (PPQN aka. ticks-per-beat) not subordinated to former ALSA sequencer queue anymore, which runs on a higher resolution still. - Avoid removing MIDI Track/Channel tree items from the Files view (eg. via direct [Del] keyboard shortcut when in focus). - Fixed a probable old issue of spilled and duplicated shortcut entries (Help/Shortcuts...) between main tracks/timeline and MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) windows. - Fixed fade-in/out curve types of clips when copy-pasted over the main tracks timeline. - Fixed general plugin scan/cache optimization in face of new plugins added and/or removed. - Fixed VST3 Plug-in main/active buses channel count inventory; also, on updating host parameters, only save and load custom modified parameter values from current state. - Fixed a misssing display and port-name filtering issue, that was introduced recently to the MIDI Connections widget only. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2].
