Howdy! As a pre-LAC release frenzy, Qtractor 0.6.1 (bitsy sweet beta) is out! the change-log for this release are mainly fixes: - New user preference option added as View/Options.../Display/Transport/Hold auto-scrolling (follow play-head) on edits (after requests by Holger Marzen and Louigi Verona, thanks). - All color chooser dialogs were missing proper titles. - Audio peak file re-generation and clean-up has been hopefully fixed and cache optimized (re. drawing audio clip waveforms). - Fixed initial session snap-per-beat setting on main toolbar. - Clip/Export...'ed files are now made persistent, no questions asked (after a ticket by Oliver Kester, thanks). - Portuguese (pt) translation added (by Esteban Viveros, thanks). The Vee One Suite of old-school also gets an interesting update. changes for the third proto-beta release are: - Badly named 'Noise' wave-shape oscillators get their band-limited treat option and re-labeled as 'Rand' (synthv1 only); also a brand new wave-shape 'Noise' is then introduced (now for real :)). - New user preference option, cf. Help/Use native dialogs. - An anti-denormal regression applied to the Phaser fx stage (affecting early proto-beta >= 0.4.0). all still available in dual form, as usual: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support; - a LV2 instrument plugin. Remember that both Qtractor and the Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.
