Here it is, a new QMidiArp version has arrived! The main new features are JACK MIDI,
which is the default backend now, JACK Session support, and a new in-sequence loop
marker that can be used to bounce the play direction or to loop at a mouse-clicked
position in the sequence. Note that you can still get the alsa backend by starting with
qmidiarp -a .
The full list of noticeable changes is below.
Thanks again to all having reported ideas and bugs and given their support.
Masters of the step sequencer, Enjoy!

o Effect of groove settings is displayed in the Arp/LFO/Seq screen
o LFOs can be triggered and restarted by the keyboard
o When reducing the size of LFO waves or Sequences, the original data
is kept in memory and is also saved to the session file as a whole
o LFO and Seq play direction can now be chosen, and bouncing loops are
possible

removed again by clicking in the bottom left or right area of the
Seq screen.
o Triggered one-shot play of LFO and Seqs improved

for getting the ALSA backend
o JACK Session support when using JACK MIDI backend
Fixed Bugs

o MIDI controls for Groove did not initialize upon "New..."
o MIDI Controllers assigned to multiple destinations stopped at the
first one encountered and ignored all others
General Changes
