[LAD] [ANN] The QStuff* Autumn'19 Release

Hello there! It's coming true: the old bunch of Qstuff*, QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], are all catching up and aligning to the magical version 0.6.0 :) That's all pretty much and enough for now ;)... ** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] ** QjackCtl 0.6.0 (autumn'19) is out! QjackCtl is a(n ageing yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore) Qt [7] application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio [12] infrastructure.

Settings / Frames/Period) may now take effect just immediately ;) - An 'Apply' button as been added to the Setup dialog; ask whether to restart the JACK audio server, if any settings are changed. - Added alternate yet non-official CMake build option. - Fix HiDPI display screen effective support (Qt >= 5.6). - Command line arguments (--start, --preset=[label] and --active-patchbay=[path]) are passed and take effect on the current singleton/unique application instance, when enabled and already running. - System-tray icon context menu has been refactored to be exactly the same as the main-window context menu that is re-instantiated on demand. - Make sure compiler flags comply to c++11 as standard. ** Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface [2] ** Qsynth 0.6.0 (autumn'19) is out! Qsynth is a FluidSynth [10] GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt framework [7] using Qt Designer.

QXGEdit is a live XG instrument editor, specialized on editing MIDI System Exclusive files (.syx) for the Yamaha DB50XG [14] and thus probably a baseline for many other XG devices.

QmidiCtl [5] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [15] for Windows. QmidiCtl [5] was long ago designed for the Maemo [17] enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [18] and promoted to the Maemo Package [18] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.
