rncbc.org updates Qtractor to v1.6.1 for Linux

13th June 2026

rncbc.org has announced the End-of-Spring'26 release of Qtractor version 1.6.1, for GNU/Linux.

Changes for this release:

Fixed a prolly old bug on Clip/Normalize which was cutting short on the selected clip length, giving erroneous results sometimes.
Added option to lock toolbars in place on the main and MIDI clip editor windows; fixed MIDI clip editor's thumb-view toolbar not saving state after close.
Force (disconnect) all buses/ports and (deactivate) all plugin chains on session close.
Updated to CLAP v1.2.8.
Distinguish all pseudo-plugin inserts by color, on whether their processing type is either audio or MIDI (in plugin-list boxes).
Avoid overlapping track header name and buttons (R, M, S and A) when reducing its height.
Mitigate some LV2 plug-in UI X11 (native) recursive resizing.
Fixed the confusing behavior on drag-n-dropping audio and/or MIDI files over the main window track-list (left pane).
Added simplified Chinese (zh_CN) translation.
