Qtractor 1.5.8 - A Late Summer'25 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi all, Qtractor 1.5.8 (late-summer'25) is released! Change-log: - When selecting an Aux-Send pseudo-plugin, also highlight the respective target output bus mixer strip. - Mitigate and compensate for padding and start-delay/latency to (lib)RubberBand time-stretching and pitch-shifting processing. - Avoid warning when auto-saving an extracted archive/zip session. - Fixed all empty/void audio clips created when aborting an armed recording session; revisited. - Added new Track/Height/Minimize menu item. - Fixed initial Aux-Send audio bus I/O matrix functionality; also when input channel count is greater than output count. - Fixed WSOLA time-stretching crashing on greater-than-2-channels/stereo audio clips. - Fix misaligned LV2 Atoms. 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.

NeuralRack v0.2.0 released

by Hermann Meyer

NeuralRack is a Neural Model and Impulse Response File loader for Linux/Windows available as Stand alone application, and in the Clap, LV2 and vst2 plugin format. It supports [*.nam files](https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=103) and, or [*.json or .aidax files](https://www.tone3000.com/search?tags=23562) by using the [NeuralAudio](https://github.com/mikeoliphant/NeuralAudio) engine. For Impulse Response File Convolution it use [FFTConvolver](https://github.com/HiFi-LoFi/FFTConvolver) Resampling is done by [Libzita-resampler](https://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/zita-resam… New in this release: - implement Mix mode for IR convolver. - implement support for ASIO control panel (Windows) ![NeuralRack](https://github.com/brummer10/NeuralRack/raw/main/NeuralRack.png?raw=true) Neuralrack allow to load up to two model files and run them serial. The input/output could be controlled separate for each model. For tone sharping a 6 band EQ could be enabled. Additional it allow to load up a separate Impulse Response file for each output channel (stereo). Neuralrack provide a buffered Mode which introduce a one frame latency when enabled. It could move one Neural Model, or the complete processing into a background thread. That will reduce the CPU load when needed. The resulting latency will be reported to the host so that it could be compensated.

Qtractor 1.5.7 - A Summer'25 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi all, Qtractor 1.5.7 (summer'25) is out! Change-log: - Give some slack time to stabilize, when updating or changing audio bus channel counts, mitigating the probability to fault when unregistering old and registering new PipeWire/JACK ports in immediate succession. - Transport/Loop Set behavior slightly changed, now toggling the loop range if the edit-head/tail match current loop-start/end. - Introducing Aux-Send audio bus I/O matrix functionality. - Corrected greater-than-2-channel audio clip waveform drawing, while on certain zoom levels, an old bug lurking there since dawn, quite an example to the evil of too-early optimization ;) - Draw all audio clip peaks+rms waveforms slightly compressed, so that low-level signals have improved visibility. - Warn when saving any type of session into an extracted archive directory. 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.

MMA 25.04 Released

by Bob van der Poel

A stable release, version 25.05, of MMA--Musical MIDI Accompaniment is available for downloading. In addition to a number of bug fixes, documentation reviews and optimizations, MMA now features: Fixed the docs for the COPY and COPYTO commands. There never was a COPYTO command! TO and FROM are extensions to the COPY command. Opps. Added system variable $_PWD. This returns the current working directory just like the unix pwd command. An empty argument for DRUM TONE resulted in a infinite loop. Fixed. Added a bit of verbosity to the error message generated when defining a TONE or VOICE by a message if you have confused constants for the two. Added a ERROR command. Text after the error is displayed and compilation stops. Changed the parser so that when setting the scale offset to use with bass patterns - and/or + can be placed before the digit(s) as well as after. Fixed errors in the documentation build. RPITCH: Fixed some minor coding errors; added the BEATS option (very useful!). An error in common.py caused random crashes due to an undefined escape sequence. Several minor documentation tweaks and fixes. Please read the file text/CHANGES-25 for a complete list of changes. MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks for a soloist to perform with. User supplied files contain pattern selections, chords, and MMA directives. For full details please visit: http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/ If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: bob(a)mellowood.ca -- **** Listen to my CD at http://www.mellowood.ca/music/cedars **** Bob van der Poel ** Wynndel, British Columbia, CANADA ** EMAIL: bob(a)mellowood.ca WWW: http://www.mellowood.ca
