Qtractor 0.6.4 - The Baryon Throne beta release!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Aw, snap! Wait, there's no big deal (nor chromium's) cosmic (mis)alignment being announced here now. Rest calm. Sorry to delude some of you :) But, there's one (notable) leap on this tiny side and part of the universe... (or is it a multiverse? move along...) What I really want to tell is all about this happening and none else's freaking business: Qtractor 0.6.4 (baryon throne beta) is released! Release highlights: * Punch-in/out over loop-recording/take modes (NEW) * Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode (NEW) * JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support (NEW) * Custom style and color themes (NEW) * Mixer strip multi-row layout (NEW) * Muted audio tracks monitoring on playback (FIX) * Clip fade-in/out resize on time-stretch (FIX) As for the clueless (as if there's any): Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio. Well, although this being yet another milestone--if one may call it that way--it also makes it official (yes, deeply engraved in stone) and definitive as a migration to Git can be, as for source-code control and management (it's a dirty job I know, but someone has to do it, right?). Nevermind. It's done. Meanwhile, please, don't ever hesitate to ask whether any of the above does affect you some way or another. Or maybe anything else, yay? Indeed, the puzzled you feel, the better :) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor/files - source tarball: http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4-14.rncbc.suse132.sr… - binary packages (openSUSE 13.2): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4-14.rncbc.suse132.i5… http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.6.4-14.rncbc.suse132.x8… - quick start guide & user manual (see also: the wiki): http://download.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.5.x-user-manual.pdf - wiki (help wanted!): http://sourceforge.net/p/qtractor/wiki/ Weblog (upstream support): http://www.rncbc.org License: Qtractor is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later. Change-log: - Fixed some old loop-recording clip drawing glitches. - Current assigned track/channel instrument definition names for MIDI controllers, note keys, RPN and NRPN, are now in effect on the MIDI clip editor drop-down lists, whether available. - Clip/Take/Range... input dialog values are now properly sanitized as long to prevent invalid take/folding ranges. - Audio capture/export file type default now set to "wav". - Extending punch-in/out over loop-recording/takes modes. - Make audio tracks monitoring always flow while playback is rolling, independently of their mute/solo state. - Fixed undo/redo conversion of audio clip offsets under (automatic) time-stretching eg. due on tempo changes. (ticket by Holger Marzen, thanks). - Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode introduced (a request by AutoStatic aka. Jeremy Jongepier, thanks). - JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support is being seamlessly introduced. (EXPERIMENTAL) - Audio frame/MIDI time drift correction is now an option on View/Options.../MIDI/Playback/Enable MIDI queue time drift correction. - Transport auto-backward feature now honoring last position playback was started. - Introducing brand new application user preferences on View/Options.../Display/Options/Custom style and color themes (eg. "KXStudio", by Filipe Coelho aka. falkTX). - Mixer widget gets automatic multi-row strip layout. - Clip fade-in/out now follows time-stretch resizing, via shift/ctrl+click and drag one of its edges. - Fixed a typo causing FTBFS when VST plug-in support is explicitly disabled (./configure --disable-vst).

Yoshimi 1.2.5

by Will Godfrey

If we were using project code names I think this one should be called "Iceberg". There are a lot of changes underneath but very little to see. Most notably Yoshimi supports multiple instances now without having to re-load from file. The GUI now correctly tracks MIDI bank and program changes, and you never see an empty text field. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
