Hi all,

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments are here and again released for the now traditional pre-LAC2019 release frenzy.

This makes it the second batch:

• synthv1 0.9.6
• samplv1 0.9.6
• drumkv1 0.9.6
• padthv1 0.9.6

All still provided in dual form, as usual:

• 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.

Changes since previous release are simple and mean:

• A gentler shutdown for the JACK client standalone client.

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.

Welcome to the party!

• Removed old pre-FFADO 'freebob' driver support.
• HiDPI display screen support (Qt >= 5.6).
• Graph port temporary highlighting while hovering, if and only if connecting ports of same type and complementary modes.
• Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2019).

Dear all,

The Vee One Suite of so called old-school software instruments, are here and again released for the End of Winter'19 season...

Available in dual form as usual:

• 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 change-log for this end-of-season are as follows:

• Improved overall stability for current sample offset and loop range, cross-fade and zero-crossing property changes across UI's, eg. LV2 plug-in native GUI and a host generic provided one. (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
• HiDPI display screen support (Qt >= 5.6).
• A fake/visual piano-keyboard widget is now being introduced to the status bar.
• Avoid destructing the possibly shared QApplication instance on LV2 plug-in UI clean-up.

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.

Hello again,

Changes for this hot-fix release are as follows:

• HiDPI display screen support (Qt >= 5.6; patch by Hubert Figuiere, thanks).
• Fixed for DSSI plug-ins (eg. fluidsynth-dssi) loss of configuration state: clear internal config/state keys on release virtual method. (REGRESSION)
• Fixed for NSM (and JACK) sessions not saving the correct file references/symlinks of clips that are recorded or created during the initial and scratch session.

Dear all,

Changes for this season are as follows:

• Drag-moving and copy-pasting existing clips, while over the main track-view, now shows the respective (audio wave-shapes and MIDI piano-rolls) graphical representations, as much as possible.
• For good and bad, session name changes now trickle down to respective audio/MIDI file names as well.
• Audio output monitoring meters may now be shown on MIDI tracks and buses as a default user preference option (View/ Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters) and also in plugin list context sub-menu (Audio/Meters).
• Custom color (palette) themes can be exported to and imported from external files.
• LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support are now enabled on configure by default.
• Fixed minimum input value as 10% (was 1%) for audio clip time-stretching in the Clip / Edit... dialog.
