rncbc.org has announced the Mid-Summer'24 release of Qtractor version 1.2.0, and the Vee One Suite version 1.1.0 of old-school software instruments, for GNU/Linux.
Changes for this Qtractor release:
- Check whether a LV2 plug-in UI no-user-resize feature is being explicitly requested.
- Auto-backward is now strictly to the play-head position playback was last started.
- MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll) undo/redo command stack is now held at the MIDI clip instance level and thus shared and the same to all respective linked clips; as bonus, it also survives the main session undo/redo command stack as well.
- MIDI clip editor (View/) Drum Mode option is now persistent on a clip basis and across sessions.
- Fixed NSM session initialization disabling auto-save and the new session template features altogether.
- Fixed crash when removing a MIDI track that is currently set as ghost to open MIDI clip editor(s), or it's been duplicated just recently.
- New MIDI clip tools: Resize / Join, Split notes.
- Session templates do not impose an audio sample-rate anymore, now being hopefully sample-rate agnostic; also, the edit-head/tail cursors, loop-start/end and punch-in/out ranges and state are now simply ignored on loading and saving session templates.
- MIDI tracks now show the respective audio output bus name, or dedicated port name whether applicable, under the 'Bus' column of main tracks left pane, above plugins list-box.
- Mixer: also highlight both input and output bus strips, directly related to the current highlighted track.

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 are 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 this release:
- Smooth and seamless voice/note deferred switching, whenever the sample file and/or any wave-table parameter is reset or changed. (applies to samplv1, drumkv1 and padthv1 only).
- LV2 Plug-in Control Input Port-Change Request extension is not tagged experimental anymore.
