Holidays greetings,

Yet one second time and behold:

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.

This time released for this End-of-Year'22 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:

• Mitigate NSM sending lots of dirty messages on SIGTERM signal.
• Although being deprecated to use, JACK Session support hopefuly fixed once again.

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.

Happy holidays!

The first batch of the so called QStuff* is here: QjackCtl, Qsynth, Qsampler, QXGEdit, QmidiCtl and QmidiNet, are all being released for the End-of-Year'22 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.

Change-log:

• Graph: whether to draw connectors through or around nodes is a new user preference option (cf. View > Connect Through Nodes).
• Graph: Allow middle mouse button for grabbing and dragging the main canvas.
• Make up visual immediate feedback connectlons.

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.

Change-log:

• Just bumping into the next develop cycle/season.

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.

Cheers && Happy New Year!

Hello there, one third and last time,

Change-log:

• Capture same time(stamp) note-off tracking and postponing is now on trial, hopefully mitigating a legato issue, reported to MIDI wind instruments (EWI). (EXPERIMENTAL)
• Fixed an old window parenting (aka z-level) issue, related to the Add Track and Track Properties dialogs and whether called from the main or mixer menus.
• Fixed the out-of-process plugin scanner terminating too soon and sometimes miss some very last results.
• Fixed another old bug in MIDI note-off messages not being sent while playing after a loop region.
• Fixed a pretty ancient bug in the VST(2.x) plug-in program names inventory, present when building to the VeSTige header (which is still the default).

Hello there, one 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;
• padthv1 a polyphonic additive synthesizer.

Are here, once again released for this (northern) Early-Autumn'22 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.

Common change-log:

• Fixed MIDI Controller... modeless dialog (de)instantiation.
• Custom color/style themes applies only to main widget only.
• Fixed typos and updated some old MIDI GM2 Controller names.
