By sampler  On  

rncbc.org has announced the Early Spring’25 release of Qtractor version 1.5.4, and the Vee One Suite version 1.3.1 of old-school software instruments, for GNU/Linux.

Changes for this Qtractor release:

  • Fixed non-zero clip offset conversion on tempo(BPM) time-scale changes.
  • MIDI clip step input and overdubbing now aggregated and fully undo/redo-able.
  • Allow MIDI step input to extend the clip length automatically; also avoid step input event duplicates (e.g. playing chords in quick succession) leading to potential double-free segfault or crash.
  • Fixed MIDI track state when clips under record/overdubbing are simply removed.
  • Fixed all empty/void audio clips that are created when aborting an armed recording session.
  • MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll): simply allow a MIDI track to be a ghost of itself.
  • In addition to clips and markers, automation curves and tempo-map nodes now also contribute to the total session length and status.
  • Fixed command line parsing (QCommandLineParser/Option) to not exiting the application with a segfault when showing help and version information.

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 being 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 the Vee One Suite in this release:

  • Fixed command line parsing (QCommandLineParser/Option) to not exiting the application with a segfault when showing help and version information.
