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 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.

One lousy Summer, just saying goodbye,...

And now this...

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) Summer'20 ending season and bumped to version 0.9.17.

Featuring:

• 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.

Change-log:

• Arbitrary number of pitch-shifted octave sample tables is now an instance parameter; pitch-shifting algorithm is selected as a global user preference option cf. Help > Configure... > Options > Pitch-shift type: S.M.Bernsee classic algorithm (default) or RubberBand library. (applies to samplv1 only)
• Added -n, --client-name to the JACK stand-alone client application command line option arguments.
• Fixed uninitialized number of voices variable; early-bird adaptations to Qt6 >= 6.0.0 and C++17 standard.

Greetings

One third and last time around...

Change-log:

• Experimental / High resolution plugin automation (14-bit) options is now also removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog.
• Audio Clip / Export... now takes into account custom fixed gain property (shamefully missing for the whole last decade to date).
• Finally indulged on dummy LV2 plug-in CVPort support, just to avoid certain immediate and sudden crashes when inserting those kind of 'non-functional' plugins accidentally.
• Bring the Track Export dialog down to Clip Merge/Export as well, for optional file type and format selection.
• When enabled, do auto-save upon adding or inserting a new plugin.
• Make sure LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 native support is selected first by default on top to libsuil.
• Both out-of-process plugin inventory scan and LV2 Dynamic manifest options have been removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog.
• Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6.
