Changes for 0.5.9:
- Auto-incremental version numbering of backup
session files; brand new versioning mode option
added.
- Fixed one long as ever MIDI file export bug,
which was about washing all self-induced MIDI
bank-select (CC#0, CC#32) and program-change
(PC#) events into MIDI channel 1, regardless of
the source track/channel.
- Fixed initial sample-rate settlement on
plugin chains for all tracks and buses whenever
a session file original sample-rate differs from
the current audio device engine (ie. JACK).
- New German (de) translation added.
- Now accepting JACK transport tempo and
time-signature changes while in slave transport
mode.
- Fix ref-count and auto-removal of created
files that result from clip merge/export when
session is closed but not saved.
- MIDI track instrument bank/program
selection, from plugin UIs that support it, is
now effectively and complete.
- Custom connections for dedicated audio
outputs from all plugin chains in MIDI tracks or
buses are back in business, hopefully restored
gain on session load (ticket by yuba, thanks).
- Track Properties dialog now dirty after any
plugin related change.
- Tempo Map/Markers dialog is not set
initially dirty anymore.
- Audio buses plugin state's persistence were
found AWOL: while being properly saved as usual,
were being restored to default on every session
reload.
- NSM (Non Session Management) support is
being introduced.
- The MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) gets
a brand new re-scale mode: ctrl+dragging the
right edge of a note now re-scales all times and
duration of all the subsequent selected notes.
- The new MIDI clip editor re-scale mode also
applicable to event values (eg. note velocities,
pitch-bend), while Ctrl+dragging the edges of an
event vertical bar.
- VST plugin (GUI) idle timer makes a
comeback.
- Hard-wired LV2 UI selection order for
plugins which supply more than one option
(lv2_external_ui gets always honored first then,
as provided via libsuil, X11, GTK and last but
not least, Qt4).
Qtractor is an Audio/MIDI
multi-track sequencer application written in C++
with the Qt4 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.
