Howdy!

And here goes the first batch of the QStuff*: QjackCtl, Qsynth, Qsampler, QXGEdit, QmidiCtl and QmidiNet, are now released for this Early-Spring'23 season. Enjoy.

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.

Change-log:

• Setup: revert to previous settings when dismissing the dialog.
• Graph: Attempt to make port labels as short as possible.
• Graph: introducing touch pinch-gesture for zooming.

QXGEdit - A Qt XG Editor

QXGEdit is a live XG instrument editor, specialized on editing MIDI System Exclusive files (.syx) for the Yamaha DB50XG and thus probably a baseline for many other XG devices.

Change-log:

• Drum Setup is being made possible for any drum-kit, with some provided default values, not just for the default Standard Kit anymore.

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.

• Bumping copyright headers to the brand new year.

QmidiNet - A MIDI Network Gateway via UDP/IP Multicast

QmidiNet is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and receives MIDI data (ALSA-MIDI and JACK-MIDI) over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows.

Hello again,

Change-log:

• Fixed a off-by-one rounding error on MIDI clip offset and lengths that were leaving some clips unlinked on load.
• LXVST_PATH environment variable now accrues to VST_PATH for Linux-native VST2 plug-ins search path and not taking over in precedence anymore.
• Fixed an old mistake on custom aliased CLAP and VST3 plugin paths.

Hello there,

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 a polyphonic additive synthesizer.

Are here released for the (northern) Winter'23 season...

All still 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.

A brief change-log applies for all in common:

• Bumping copyright headers to the brand new year.

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 one third and last time this year,

Change-log:

• Plugin latency/delay compensation now in effect immediately after changing track option (cf. Track/Properties... /Plugins/Latency compensation).
• Shade-off regions not-in-view from the thumb-views.
• Improved MIDI queue time drift correction resilience and stability against in-flight tempo changes.
• The main real-time process cycle now runs on uniform block-sizes, in strides of 64 frames per period, meaning a higher resolution automation, independent of buffer-size.
• The internal main MIDI engine gets its ALSA sequencer queue to a higher resolution (PPQN aka ticks-per-beat) and not subordinated to the current session's anymore.
• Although being deprecated to use, JACK Session support is hopefuly fixed, once again.
• Better discriminate CLAP Plug-in specific note events and strict MIDI dialect event processing.
