qtractor

We have hosted the application qtractor in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about qtractor:

Features:

• Multi-track audio and MIDI sequencing and recording.
• Developed on the Qt C++ application and UI framework.
• Uses JACK for audio and ALSA sequencer for MIDI as multimedia infrastructures.
• Traditional multi-track tape recorder control paradigm.
• Audio file formats support: OGG (via libvorbis), MP3 (via libmad, playback only), WAV, FLAC, AIFF and many, many more (via libsndfile).
• Standard MIDI files support (format 0 and 1).
• Non-destructive, non-linear editing.
• Unlimited number of tracks per session/project.
• Unlimited number of overlapping clips per track.
• XML encoded session/project description files (SDI).
• Point-and-click, multi-select, drag-and-drop interaction (drag, move, drop, cut, copy, paste, paste-repeat, delete, split, merge).
• Unlimited undo/redo.
• Built-in mixer and monitor controls.
• Built-in connection patchbay control and persistence (a-la QjackCtl).
• LADSPA, DSSI, native VST(2), VST3, CLAP and LV2 plug-ins support.
• Unlimited number of plug-ins per track or bus.

• Loop-recording/takes.
• Audio/MIDI clip fade-in/out, cross-fade (linear, quadratic, cubic).
• Audio/MIDI clip gain/volume, normalize, export.
• Audio/MIDI track and plugin parameter automation (dynamic curves, sample&hold, linear and spline modes).
• Audio clip time-stretching (WSOLA-like or via librubberband), pitch-shifting (via librubberband) and seamless sample-rate conversion (via libsamplerate).
• Audio/MIDI track export (mix-down, render, merge).
• Audio/MIDI metronome bar/beat clicks.
• Unlimited tempo/time-signature map.
• Unlimited location/bar markers.
• MIDI clip editor (matrix/piano roll).
• MIDI instrument definitions (a-la Cakewalk(tm) (*.ins)); SoundFont (*.sf2) and MIDI Names XML (*.midnam) files also supported.
• MIDI controller mapping/learn/assignment (mixer and plug-in parameters).
• MIDI system exclusive (SysEx) setups.
• JACK transport sync master/slave.
• JACK session support.
• NSM (Non Session Management) support.
• MMC control surface enabled.
• MIDI Clock, Song Position cueing support.
• Configurable keyboard and MIDI controller shortcuts.
