Hello again, one third and last time...

But happy to announce yet another point release of, drum roll please...

Changes for this hot season are just but a few, nothing heartbreaking:

• Dropped the 'Activate' option on the plug-in Selection dialog, now being as always on by default.
• Have some tolerance for JACK buffer-size changes, only prompting to a complete session reload, if increasing in double the initial period size.
• Introducing plug-in blacklisting, on user discretion (in View/Options.../Plugins/Blacklist) and on inventory scan (crashed plug-ins are now automatically blacklisted).
• Added special support for LV2 UI GTK2 plugins based on Gtkmm 2.4 framework.
• All builds default to Qt6 (Qt >= 6.1) where available.
• CMake is now the official build system.

Hello again!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments,

• synthv1, as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer;
• samplv1, a polyphonic sampler synthesizer;
• drumkv1 as yet another drum-kit sampler;
• padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer.

Are all being released as the second batch of the so called QStuff* (northern) Early-Summer'21 season.

Notable changes for this season are as follows:

• Fixed some ages old Glide/portamento potential crash bug (as reported by AnClark, while on synthv1; also applies to samplv1 and padthv1).
• Add support for LV2 UI Windows platform (by AnClark, also while on synthv1).
• Sustenuto pedal controller (MIDI CC#66) is now implemented.
• Fixed old Sustain/Damper/Hold pedal controller (MIDI CC#64) note-off processing. (also implemented new on drumkv1)
• Have some tolerance for buffer-size changes.
• All builds default to Qt6 (Qt >= 6.1) where available.
• CMake is now the official build system.

As usual, all delivered 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 again in detail...

Hello all,

The first batch of the hot QStuff* is out: QjackCtl, Qsynth, Qsampler, QXGEdit, QmidiCtl and QmidiNet, , are all moving up one notch to version 0.9.4 for the (northern) Early-Summeer'21 release season.

QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface

QjackCtl is an aged yet modern, not so simple anymore, Qt application to control the JACK sound server, for the Linux Audio infrastructure.

QmidiCtl - A MIDI Remote Controller via UDP/IP Multicast

QmidiCtl is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast (https://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (https://nerds.de). QmidiCtl was long ago designed for the Maemo enabled handheld devices, namely the late Nokia N900 and promoted to the Maemo Package repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android application as well.
