On the other news: Maybe not as compelling as any of those bad old Qstuff*;) but jack_link [1] has made it to version 0.0.9... Yeah, some weeks ago already, must I tell ya ;) jack_link [1] is a JACK [2] time-base--and now also a transport--kinda-proof-of-concept bridge to Ableton Link [3], which already goes into its V3 incarnation. In a (long, rather boring) sentence, this means that jack_link is now a bilateral bridge--read two-way--to JACK time-base master to Ableton Link [3] local-cloud;) and vice-versa. The usual 'caveat emptor' rule applies. It may work well--if at all--on some JACK [2] clients and incredibly FUBAR for others (!). To speak the truth, it has been only tested with--and you know what--yours truly Qtractor. And that's what makes me happy :) Hope it makes you too!
