[LAA] Qtractor 0.9.36 - An Autumn'23 Release

Howdy! Qtractor 0.9.36 (autumn'23) is released! Change-log: - Multiple audio and/or MIDI files may now appear as arguments on the command line and get immediately imported into a new session; also, any audio or MIDI file may now be promptly imported into a new session from the main File/Open... dialog. - New MIDI clip tool option added: Rescale/Invert. - Introducing brand new MIDI clip tool: Tempo ramp. - Disable or better hide the Add Tracks option on the MIDI tracks export dialog. - Fixed a yearlong bug in MIDI file import/export of tempo, time and key signatures and markers, to severely wrong locations. - Enable Aux-Send inserts on output buses, but list possible target buses only; audio output buses are now listed as possible targets iif they follow or succeed the source one (in internal processing order). - Fixed MIDI tracks latency compensation, now working as expected. - Show current/total plugins latency on the Track properties dialog, - Fixed MIDI Step-input for non-zero offset clips. 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.
