Ardour 5.9 includes several months of changes and improvements made since the previous stable update of the application, and among some notable accomplishments we can mention support for the Presonus Faderport 8 control surface, MIDI enhancements, state serialization and redraw optimizations. Lots of improvements are also included in Ardour 5.9 for scripting, tempo, control surfaces support, and plugins, and those that caught our attention are new “Ramp to Next” and “Continue” options to the Tempo Marker menu, note name editing support in the MIDI List Editor, and support for the VST effSetBypass plugin.
