Hello there!

QmidiCtl is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast (http://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (http://nerds.de). QmidiCtl has been primarily designed for the Maemo enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 and also being promoted to the Maemo Package repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found effective as a regular desktop application and as an Android application as well.

Change-log (since last Early Winter'18 release):

• Fixed all mixer strips for a larger width on main layout.
• Fixed for some g++ >= 8.1.1 warnings and quietness.
• Yes, Android GA is now official.

Enjoy && have some fun.

Hi!

One more time and not the last!

The Vee One Suite of so called 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 once again released just before the northern hot-season starts...

For all you meridional fans: don't ever take this as some kind of a disadvantage: you'll sure have it perfect and practice while northlings may go party and bust, whatever ;)

Still available in the so called dual standard forms, for Linux anyway:

The change for this joy-of-season goes as follows:

• Loop crossfading and zero-crossing detection (the later being an old staple by default) are now set as brand new user options accessible from the main UI. (applies to samplv1 only)
• Fixed for some g++ >= 8.1.1 warnings and quietness.
• Added LV2 UI X11 support option.
• Disable reference micro-tuning settings when a Scala keyboard map override is in effect.
• Added "All files (*.*)" filter to every file requestor dialog, wherever missing.

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 again,

The Pre-LAC2018 release frenzy is now complete...

Change-log:

• Displaying MIDI note(on) events as diamonds instead of simple rectangles (aka. Drum Mode) is now being introduced as an optional MIDI track property (Drums) and as a MIDI clip editor (piano-roll) visual option (cf. View/Drum Mode).
• Extended multi-selection is now supported on all the Connections client/port lists, allowing for multiple (dis)connections at once.
• Added LV2 UI sample-rate option support.
• Always reset all internal dedicated MIDI controllers, eg. MIDI track volume (CC#7) and panning (CC#10), on Transport/Panic and after rendering export to audio (ie. Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) as needed to reset MIDI instrument plugins to nominal session state.
• Fix, detect and preserve MIDI Bank-select method across MIDI track/clips editing operations.
• Fixed MIDI track and clip note min/max display range while recording and also when duplicating tracks.
• Added "All files (*.*)" filter to every file requestor dialog, wherever missing.
• The tiny zoom-magnifier icons have been revamped.

Change-log:

• Respect ALSA Sequencer support option also on Graph view.
• Regression to new Graph node/ports sorting comparator; also fixed multiple and many port removals, most probably causing it to crash due to double-free/delete potential.
• Fixed the automatic aggregation of new Graph client nodes that are split as either input or output only (ie. system, terminal, physical or otherwise non-duplex nodes).
• Added View/Zoom Range mode option to Graph tool.
