Re: [LAU] [ANN] Qtractor 0.4.2 (flaunty demoness) is out!

Howdy! Greatest thanks goes to Mathias Krause aka gizzmo, who contributed with the fundamental code to the new MIDI controller mapping functionality that now widens the Qtractor horizon with regard from generic control surfaces. Being the Behringer BCF2000 [1] a notable example, control feedback is fully supported so that those fancy motorized faders, knobs and lights, actually reflect the whole mixing and editing session state. Some pre-made files are here provided for your conveniency: "bcx2000.qtc" [2] is to import into Qtractor (View/Controllers...) and a couple of presets goes into your BCF2000, "Qtractor_Mixer_1-8.syx" [3] and "Qtractor_Mixer_9-16.syx" [4], respectively for the first and second set of eight channel/track strips. Ah, the previous hardwired support for the JLCooper-like controls, provided by the Tascam US-224 and US-428 (via us428control), is now optional. You can have it back by just adding this file, "usx2y.qtc" [5], to the controllers map. That's it: Qtractor 0.4.2 (flaunty demoness) is out! Release highlights: * MIDI controller mapping (mixer) (NEW) * Audio/MIDI multi-clip merge (NEW) * Multi-clip selection export (NEW) * Improved snap precision on drag/moving clips (FIXED) * and some other asorted fixes (see change-log;) Description: Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application, written in C++ on top of Qt Software's Qt4 framework, having JACK and ALSA as its main infrastructures and Linux as native and exclusive platform. Specially suited to the lone-wolf composer, arranger and (re)creative music-maker personal home-studio, it still hopes to evolve as a fairly featured desktop audio/MIDI workstation or at least, a prototypical part of it ;) Website: http://qtractor.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtractor Downloads: - source tarball http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.2.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 11.1) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.2-1.rncbc.suse111.sr… - binary package (openSUSE 11.1) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.2-1.rncbc.suse111.i5… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.2-1.rncbc.suse111.x8… - binary package (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor_0.4.2-1.rncbc.ubuntu804.…
