Season greetings, one second time!

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 here released for the (Northern) Winter'20 season...

All still delivered in the two traditional forms:

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

Changes for this special season release are as follows:

• Better handling of the offset and loop ranges when in presence of very long sample files (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• Fixed display of old knob/dial values on status-bar.
• Reduced formant filter coefficient slew rate, aiming to a tenfold DSP performance gain.
• Get a chance on bringing Wayland into the picture when dealing Qt static-linked deliverables.

Season greetings y'all,

The news are about this first batch of so called QStuff*, now being rolled out, seriously: QjackCtl, Qsynth, Qsampler, QXGEdit, QmidiCtl and QmidiNet, are all jumping straight and gloriously to version 0.9.0 for the (northern) Winter'20 Holiday season.

Hi everyone,...

Change-log:

• When under NSM, all top-level windows, main, mixer and connections, will always start hidden.
• Plugin editors (GUIs) that are currently open on a track are now brought up as top-level windows immediately when a track is made current or highlighted (and Track / Auto Monitor is in effect).
• MIDI clip editor mouse hovering effect extended to whole current note line on main view (piano-roll eye-candy++); also, the white keys on MIDI clip editor's virtual piano keyboard, are now fully highlighted.
• Plugin search paths (View > Options... > Plugins > Paths) now lists all the default and actual existing paths, instead of a blank list.
• Undimmed octave divider lines on the piano-roll.
• Fixed potential crash on changing audio output buses channel count.
• Note names display (inside note rectangles) are now an option on the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll; menu View > Note Names).

Avast ye lads, boring news ahead...

Once 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 and padthv1 as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here released onto the wild, just for the (Northern) Fall/Autumn'20 season...

Boring as hell, they still feature the same two kinds of deliverables:

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

Change-log:

• Upstream package naming for the JACK standalone and LV2 plugin deliverables are suffixed to '-jack' and '-lv2', respectively.
• Fixed note-off effectiveness when DCA is disabled (idle). (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
• White keys on the virtual piano keyboard are now fully highlighted.

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.

So long Summer'20,

Change-log:

• Early fixing to build for Qt >= 6.0.0 and the C++17 standard.
• Fixed crash when changing an auto-monitored audio track's number of channels due on switching its audio output bus.
• Avoid a complete track re-open when changing properties, unless either input or output buses are changed.
• Fixed custom track icon selection when none is currently set.
