rncbc.org has announced the (northern) Winter'24 release of Qtractor version 0.9.39, and Vee One Suite version 0.9.34 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 New Year release are:
- Added build checks on whether to use old or newer style of LV2 include headers.
- Introducing new Transport/Step/Backward and Forward menu actions, to move the play-head backward and forward, in bar/beat/fraction (snap-per-beat) steps, respectively.
- Introducing View/Options.../Display/Custom/Style sheet (*.qss) application theming option.
- Improved MIDI clip editor centering to current mouse pointer position in main timeline (tracks-view); on both horizontal and vertical axes.
- LV2 Plug-in Control Input Port-change request extension feature support added.
- Fixed an old one-off plug-in parameter change command aliasing (undo/redo).
- Updated copyright headers into the New Year (2024).
