Greetings once more,

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 and padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are all being released now for the second QStuff* Spring'20 batch of the (quarantine) season.

All still available in dual form deliveries:

• 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.

Not much of a ravishing change-log, just on the brink of utterly boring maintenance stuff:

• Always keep the current sample loop-cycle on note-off, while entering a DCA Release stage. (applies to samplv1 only)
• Maximum pitch-bend range has been expanded to 0..400%, allegedly to support some PME driven instruments.
• Make man page compression reproducible (after request by Jelle van der Waa, thanks).
• Fixed crash when showing the tooltip of a negative note number that results from dragging over and beyond the left edge of the virtual piano keyboard.
• Remove -v (verbose) flag from 'strip' post-link command.
• Fixed CMake build by adding missing Custom Color Theme (palette) form file (.ui).
• Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020).

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.

Greetings

The first batch of the so called QStuff*, QjackCtl, Qsynth, Qsampler, QXGEdit, QmidiCtl and QmidiNet, are all moving up a notch to version 0.6.2 on this early Spring'20 (and under quarantine).

Time to stay and still have fun at home, nevertheless ;)

QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface

QjackCtl is a(n ageing yet modern, not so simple anymore) Qt application to control the JACK sound server, for the Linux Audio infrastructure.

• Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020).

Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface

Qsynth is a FluidSynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt framework using Qt Designer.

• If connection to server aborted, try to automatically reconnect (if server was not started by QSampler).
• Fixed crash when a device disappeared on server side (caused by iterator invalidation).
• Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2020).

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.

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.

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.

Greetings, just one last time!

The change-log is rather short but nevertheless:

• Basic key-signature has been added to tempo, time-signature and location markers map.
• MIDI Clip editor (aka. piano-roll) horizontal and vertical splitter sizes, widths and heights resp. are now preserved as user preferences and also to session state.
• Second attempt to fix the yet non-official though CMake build configuration.

Greetings, a second time!

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 and padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are all here and now released, making it for the second QStuff* Winter'19 batch of the season.

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.

Changes for this special season are pretty much the same for all the gang-of-four:

• Custom color (palette) theme editor introduced; color (palette) theme changes are now effective immediately, except on default.
• Second attempt to fix the yet non-official though CMake build configuration.
• Move QApplication construction/destruction from LV2 UI to plug-in instantiation and cleanup.

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.

Greetings!

The old core of QStuff*, QjackCtl, Qsynth, Qsampler, QXGEdit, QmidiCtl and QmidiNet, are all here and now bumped to version 0.6.1, making it the first batch for the last (northern) winter solistice of the decade.
