rncbc.org has announced the Spring'22 release of Qtractor version 0.9.26, and Vee One Suite version 0.9.25 of old-school software instruments, for GNU/Linux.
Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.
Changes for this season's release are as follows:

- Main application icon is now presented in scalable format (SVG).
- Have even more tolerance to JACK buffer-size changes, prompting for a complete session reload, only when exceeding the double of the previous/current size.
- Added an additional status-bar label to show the session current buffer-size (in frames per period).
- Migrated command line parsing to QCommandLineParser/Option (Qt >= 5.2).
- Make last recorded clip current and suitable target for immediate loop recording takes switch or navigation.
- Number of takes is now shown on clip titles and tool-tips.
- Fixed in-flight transport mode changes.
- Fixed translations path to be relative to application runtime.
The Vee One Suite is comprised of four separate, autonomous software instruments, which are:
- Synthv1 - a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer.
- Samplv1 - a polyphonic sampler synthesizer.
- Drumkv1 - a drum-kit sampler synthesizer.
- Padthv1 - a polyphonic additive synthesizer.
All delivered in dual form:
- A pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non/New Session Management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support;
- A LV2 instrument plugin.
Changes for this release are just cosmetic:
- Added missing file code to desktop exec entry (standalones only).
- Main application icon is now presented in scalable format (SVG).
- Migrated command line parsing to QCommandLineParser/Option (Qt >= 5.2).
- Avoid issuing NSM dirty messages as much as possible.
