Aye! The Qstuff* Pre-LAC2018 [16] release frenzy is now officially started... * QjackCtl 0.5.1 * Qsynth 0.5.1 * Qsampler 0.5.1 * QXGEdit 0.5.1 * QmidiNet 0.5.1 Enjoy the first batch, more to come! ** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] ** QjackCtl 0.5.1 (pre-lac2018) is released! QjackCtl is a(n ageing but still) simple Qt [6] application to control the JACK [7] sound server, for the Linux Audio infrastructure.

Qsynth is a FluidSynth [9] GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt framework [6] using Qt Designer.

QXGEdit is a live XG instrument editor, specialized on editing MIDI System Exclusive files (.syx) for the Yamaha DB50XG [13] and thus probably a baseline for many other XG devices.
