Cheers!

Interesting times we're living in...

The first batch to the so called Qstuff* Spring Break'19 is now being delivered as fully complementary as post-LAC2019 frenzy ;)

And in this batch, we have:

• QjackCtl 0.5.7
• Qsynth 0.5.6
• Qsampler 0.5.5
• QXGEdit 0.5.4
• QmidiCtl 0.5.4
• QmidiNet 0.5.4

All the boring (to death) details, below...

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.

Change-log:

• Graph node and port title renaming and nodes position move changes are now undo/redo-able.
• Graph client and port title in-place renaming is now integrated to native aliases and JACK metadata (aka. pretty-names).
• Refactored all native client/port name aliases.
• Re-defined all main application UNIX signal handling.

Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface

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

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 (http://llg.cubic.org/tools) and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI for Windows (http://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.

• Fix build on linux with musl (according to POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008; PR#3 by Andreas Müller aka. schnitzeltony, thanks).
• HiDPI display screen support (Qt >= 5.6).

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.

Hi again,

For last but not least and concluding the so called traditional pre-LAC2019 release frenzy:

Here the last changes included for this wrap-up release:

• Fixed LV2 UI Touch feature/interface implementation.
• Plugin latency/delay compensation is now introduced as an option to tracks only (cf. Track/Properties.../Latency compensation).
• Refactored all singleton/unique application instance setup logic away from X11/Xcb hackery.
• A bit lesser of a naive file-name numbering is now in place to avoid as much as possible, the piling up of internal curve/automation files when saving existing sessions.
• Maybe just informational but the original MIDI file format is now correctly reported across ref-counted linked MIDI clips.

Hi all,

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments are here and again released for the now traditional pre-LAC2019 release frenzy.

This makes it the second batch:

• synthv1 0.9.6
• samplv1 0.9.6
• drumkv1 0.9.6
• padthv1 0.9.6

All still provided in dual form, as usual:

• 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 since previous release are simple and mean:

• A gentler shutdown for the JACK client standalone client.

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.

Welcome to the party!

Hello there!

The Qstuff* Pre-LAC2019 release frenzy is now starting up... enjoy!

Included in this batch:

• QjackCtl 0.5.6
• Qsynth 0.5.5
• Qsampler 0.5.4
• QXGEdit 0.5.3
• QmidiNet 0.5.3

All the boring details follow suit...

Dear all,

The Vee One Suite of so called old-school software instruments, are here and again released for the End of Winter'19 season...

Available in dual form as usual:

• 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.

The change-log for this end-of-season are as follows:

• Improved overall stability for current sample offset and loop range, cross-fade and zero-crossing property changes across UI's, eg. LV2 plug-in native GUI and a host generic provided one. (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
• HiDPI display screen support (Qt >= 5.6).
• A fake/visual piano-keyboard widget is now being introduced to the status bar.
• Avoid destructing the possibly shared QApplication instance on LV2 plug-in UI clean-up.

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.
