Qtractor 0.9.26 - A Spring'22 Release batch #3

by Rui Nuno Capela

Wholly greetings, one third time and finally, Qtractor 0.9.26 (spring'22) released! Change-log:: - Main application icon is now presented in scalable format (SVG). - Have even more tolerance to JACK buffer-size changes, prompting for a complete session reload, only when exceeding the double of the previous/current size. - Added an additional status-bar label to show the session current buffer-size (in frames per period). - Migrated command line parsing to QCommandLineParser/Option (Qt >= 5.2) - Make last recorded clip current and suitable target for immediate loop recording takes switch or navigation. - Number of takes is now shown on clip titles and tooltips. - Fixed in-flight transport mode changes. - Fixed translations path to be relative to application runtime. 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.

by Rui Nuno Capela

Greetings again! The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are now being released as the second batch of the so called 'QStuff*' (northern) Spring'22 season. Still delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Change-log of the season: - Added missing file code to desktop exec entry (standalones only). - Main application icon is now presented in scalable format (SVG). - Migrated command line parsing to QCommandLineParser/Option (Qt >= 5.2) - Avoid issuing NSM dirty messages as much as possible. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.25 (spring'22) is released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard 0.8.7 and Drumstick Libraries 2.6.0 Released

by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

VMPK 0.8.7 ========== Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player. Changes in v0.8.7: * Fixed touch-screen events handling on Linux, on both X11 and Wayland. * Fixed raw (low level) keyboard events handling on Linux+Wayland. * New cmake build option: ENABLE_NATIVE_FILTER. Enabled by default on Windows, and disabled elsewere. * Fixed ticket #80: always-on-top preference hides main window. * Fixed command line option "file". * Fixed instruments definition "default.ins" file loading. * Requires: drumstick-2.6. Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 * Drumstick 2.6 Please use the mailing list <vmpk-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> for questions and comments. Thanks. Copyright (C) 2008-2022, Pedro López-Cabanillas and others License: GPL v3 More info https://vmpk.sourceforge.io Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmpk/files/0.8.7/ Drumstick Libraries 2.6.0 ========================= Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt5 idioms and style. Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI files: .MID/.KAR), RIFF MIDI (.RMI), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX. Changes in v2.6.0: * Widgets: pianokeybd has 2 new functions, setUsingNativeFilter() and isUsingNativeFilter(). Fixed pianokeybd's touch-screen input on Linux, including X11 and Wayland. Added pianokeybd internal raw computer keyboard input processing. * Utils: vpiano new menu options to allow enabling keyboard, mouse and touch-screen input. New raw keyboard menu option. Note labels font stability fix. Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms: * C++11 compiler * CMake 3.14 * Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 (with Qt6Core5Compat library dependency for Drumstick::File) Feature dependencies (for some platforms): * ALSA (Linux only) * PulseAudio (Unix) * D-Bus (Unix) * FluidSynth (All platforms) Copyright (C) 2009-2022, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project web site https://sourceforge.net/p/drumstick Online documentation https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/ Downloads https://sourceforge.net/projects/drumstick/files/2.6.0/
