QMidiArp 0.6.0 is out, since of course it cannot miss the huge TGV train of Q-Application updates just racing by for the new year!
This release includes LV2 plugins of the three QMidiArp modules. They are synchronizable to the transport info provided by different hosts in different ways, and they work well with the new Qtractor, thanks to Rui for updates regarding this.
I don't claim that I have fully understood LV2 host-GUI communication, but I found the recent sisco plugin by Robin Gareaus very instructive for this, thanks!
Happy new year!
Frank

qmidiarp-0.6.0 (2014-01-01)
New Features
o LV2 Plugins are now available for Arp, LFO and Seq modules
- They have full functionality as known from the standalone
application except MIDI control, which can be provided by the host
- The LFO plugin also has a LV2 control output scaled from 0 to 1
- When the 'Sync to host' option is checked, the plugins support
transport LV2 atom data from hosts as well as host transport
information available from designated lv2 time ports (Qtractor,
thanks Rui!)
- Arp pattern presets are available in the LV2 module but cannot be
written to the .qmidiarprc file. This has to be done with the
standalone application
- On hosts with small atom port capacities that do not honor the
lv2 rsz:MinimumSize property, there will be issues with displaying
very large LFO waveforms
- Features of QMidiArp beyond the modules themselves (including
global storage) are not available
Fixed Bugs
o Trying to open an inexistent file from the recent files menu led to
crash (reported by Frank Neumann)

Seasons greetings all!
Just a quick announcement to any that didn't know, the Fedora Jam spin
has been released alongside Fedora 20.
In Linux audio terms, there's not too many surprises here. We have
simply tried to keep all of our packages up to date with upstream.
Notable additions/updates: Ardour 3 replaces Ardour2 (on the media only:
Ardour 2.x is still available in the repos), the new x42 plugins from
Robin Gareus, Harry's Open Av plugin suite and we've also added Mup
music notation. The repositories also contain the awesome new guitarix
plugins, definitely worth checking out.
We have tried to ship the latest release of everything, however there
have been a few upstream releases that have occurred post publication
freeze, so expect a number of updates in the next few weeks.
For a synopsis of all included packages you can click here [1], and you
can grab an ISO from here [2]
PlanetCCRMA has also been updated in record time, so go here [3] to add
your RT kernel, linuxsampler, supercollider, puredata and others not
included on the spin.
Want to help us make the spin better or just have questions/want to chat
about the spin? Join our mailing list here [4] or jump on irc #fedora-audio
Happy new year all!
