Howdy!

The Vee One Suite of so called old-school software instruments, synthv1, as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler synthesizer, drumkv1 as yet another drum-kit sampler and padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here released for the seasonal greetings.

All still available in dual form:

• a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support;
• a LV2 instrument plug-in.

The common change-log for this Fall goes like this:

• Sample files are now saved as symlinks when saving to JACK and/or NSM session directories/folders (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• Opening multiple preset files is now possible, populating the preset drop-down listing, while only the first one is loaded effectively into the scene as usual.
• Mono(phonic) "Legato" mode option introduced.
• Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent from all build/configure template chains, whatever.
• Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo file (formerly AppData).

The Vee One Suite are free, open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Yes, it's been like clockwork...

Every two months or so, you stumbled with a brand new dot release, code-named after some of the same adjective-plus-noun (or vice versa) code-names. You knew the thrill and yet it lands no more.

First, the code-naming joke has been just a parody--or was it the other way around?--to some well known Linux-distro alimalistic code-name series. Then on it got rogue into some directed puns--remember the date when BitWig Studio 1.0 was first released? Yeah, the "Byte Bald" was there for the pun, on the very same day :)

Well, that's all gone by now.

Northern hemisphere seasons are the new norm and that's about two main reasons: first, it's where I live; second, due to an undeniable global warming effect pervading the globe, all geographical temperate zones are simply on the edge of extinction. More or less in a couple of decades or so. For the sake of brevity, I will just leave it like paying homage to those natural concepts that are facing an inexorable fate.

And yet, there're still the good news:

Change-log:

• Assigned MIDI Controllers to plug-in's Activate switch are now finally saved and (re)loaded properly across sessions.
• Audio clip panning option property is now being introduced.
• Out-of-process (aka. dummy) VST plug-in inventory scanning now restarts automatically and resumes processing in case of a premature exit/crash; VST plug-in inventory scan/cache persistency is now in place.
• Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent from build/configure template chains.
• Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo file (formerly AppData).
• Changing the View/Options.../Display/Custom/Style theme takes effect immediately unless it's back to "(default)".
• Slightly slower but better approximation to IEEE 32bit floating point cubic root ie. cbrtf().

Greetings!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1, as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 as yet another drum-kit sampler, welcomes a brand new and fourth member, padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, now joining the late-summer'17 release party.

All available in dual form:

• a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support;
• a LV2 instrument plug-in.

The Vee One Suite are free, open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

And now being the gang-of-four!

Howdy!

Changes for this mostly just a bug-fix beta release::

• Make sure any just recorded clip filename is not reused while over the same track and session. (CRITICAL)
• LV2 Plug-in worker/schedule interface ring-buffer sizes have been increased to 4KB.
• Fixed track-name auto-incremental numbering suffix when modifying any other track property.
• WSOLA vs. (lib)Rubberband time-stretching options are now individualized on a per audio clip basis.
• Long overdue, some brand new and fundamental icons revamp.
• Fixed a tempo-map node add/update/remove rescaling with regard to clip-lengths and automation/curve undo/redo.
• Fixed a potential Activate automation/curve index clash, or aliasing, for any plug-ins that change upstream their parameter count or index order, on sessions saved with the old plug-in versions and vice-versa.

Howdy!
