Hello there!
This might come as an end to a long cycle indeed, really approaching a
final and last milestone, whatever...
But one thing is for sure: besides the prodigal but (pun, somewhat,
not intended:)), this wraps up the so called Qstuff* Fall'16 release
business deal [7][8].
Qtractor 0.8.0 (snobbiest graviton) is out!
And the release highlights are:
* Auto-backward location marker (NEW)
* Clip selection edge adjustment (NEW)
* Improved audio clip zoom-in resolution (NEW)
* Clip selection resilience (FIX)
* MIDI (N)RPN running status (FIX)
And the band plays on...
Maybe you can further decrypt the fresh juice from the change-log
below -- or rather never mind though and go for the grabs already ;).
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.

Change-log:
- - MIDI clip tools redo/undo processing refactored as much to avoid
replication over multiple hash-linked clips; MIDI clip editor's
floating selection/anchor event stability has been also improved, in
regard to MIDI tools processing range.
- - Auto-backward play-head location, when playback was last started, is
now shown on main track-view, as a momentary dark-red vertical line
marker.
- - LV2 plugin-in parameter optimization: stuff consecutive series of
plug-in's parameter value changes, as much as possible into one single
undo/redo command.
- - LV2_STATE__StateChanged is now recognized as a regular atom
notification event and raising the current session dirty flag, as
normal behavior.
- - Adjusting clip selection edges is now possible and honored while on
the the main track-view canvas.
- - Audio peak file caching and rendering, as far as audio clip
wave-forms are concerned, have been refactored and optimized a couple
of notches higher, on the ephemeral and rather marginal throughput
front ;).
- - Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application instance
setup.
- - Edit/Select Mode tool-buttons moved into single drop-down
tool-button on the main and MIDI editor's tool-bar.
- - Do not reset the current clip selection when updating the main
track-view extents eg. while zooming in or out.
- - Automation curve node editing auto-smoothing revisited; also fixed
input MIDI RPN/NRPN running status processing, which was crippling
some plug-in automation curve nodes, when saved in high-resolution
14-bit mode.
- - Fixed the visual play-head position (vertical red line) while
zooming in or out horizontally.
- - Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command line
options, wrt. installation directories specification, eg. --prefix,
- --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.
- - LV2 Plugin-in worker/schedule fix: make request/response ring-buffer
writes in one go, hopefully atomic (suggested patch by Stefan
Westerfeld, while on SpectMorph, thanks).

Hi everyone,
Just want to let people know that the initial release of the MIDI over
BLE drivers for Linux are ready and waiting for review on the
linux-bluetooth mailing list[1]. Hopefully it will be release on the
next version of BlueZ.
I invite everyone to test it out and review the patch so we can improve
it as much as possible.
There is also a video[2] I made just to demonstrate it working on a
Linux desktop, but I have also tested on Embedded Systems such as
Raspberry Pi 2 successfully.
If you want more information on how to setup your system to work
properly, please let me know.
PS: I would like send kudos to ROLI Ltd.[3] since they allowed me to
work on this as a full-time job.

Hi
for the shake of easiness I've pushed a release of screcord.lv2 to github.
screcord.lv2 is a ultra light LV2 recording plugin, which will save your
audio stream to disk.
screcord features stemless recording, means it open a new file when max
file size of wav file is reached.
screcord comes without GUI, but provide a record button, a format
selector, and a clipping indicator.
screcord use libsndfile http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/
regards
hermann
Apparently the upcoming versions of openSUSE Leap don't have a .pc file for
ncurses, and CMake's findpackage() requires that.
Does anyone know of an alternative method of configuring CMake for ncurses?
Will.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

That's interesting. I never thought of using this plug-in for this
purpose. Do you have any presets to share?

This is a one-year maintenance release of qmidiarp. A few new little features
have sneaked in and a few bugs have been fixed, both thanks to people filing
tickets!
Nothing else to say, except that the detailed changes are right below ;)
Check it out, have fun!
Best
Frank
---------------
qmidiarp-0.6.4 (2016-11-01)
Improvements
o All Modules now have the Note Filter already present in the Arps.
Also, the note range entries can now be set by MIDI learn
o Arp: The octave mode is now defined by independent upper/lower bounds
(feature request #12 by ssj71)
o LFO: New waveform flip button (feature request #11 by MilkMiruku)
o Seq: The output MIDI channel is now a MIDI controllable item. This
allows for instance an LFO to control the Seq MIDI channels for
dispatching sounds within a sequence (feature request #13 by Menno)
Fixed Bugs
o LFO: Offset slider didn't follow drawing and led to jumps on
first use
o LFO: Waveform type switched to custom when muting points (bug #16
reported by MilkMiruku)
o Arp: When using Global Storage "Restore", the restore step was
incorrect

QMidiArp is a MIDI arpeggiator, phrase generator and controller LFO for JACK
and ALSA. It can run multiple synchronized arpeggiators, LFOs and step
sequencers. The modules are also available as LV2 plugins with Qt user
interface. All in all it is a handy live tool.

Hi all,
I'm new to this list, been getting into making music on my Linux machine
the last couple of weeks/months.
One of the things I was wondering, it seems like there's no way to make use
of the functionality some instruments have to kill all sounds (panic
button) for all instruments in a session.
Am I correct in my observation that functionality like this is missing? Do
others see a use/need for this as well?
If so, I'm wondering what the correct place would be to implement this: I'd
guess JACK transport?
Thanks and have a nice day!
Simon
