Awe!

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 released for the northern Summer'18.

All available in dual standard forms:

The mostly common change-log for the hot-season is as follows:

• Frame-time display format option added to new offset, loop-start and loop-end spin-boxes. (applies to samplv1 and also partially to drumkv1)
• Sample start point (offset) added as a brand new property parameter. (samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
• Add LV2 UI Resize extension data support.
• Process MIDI Controlllers even though the channel filter is on (DEF Channel is set anything but "Omni").
• AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all permisssive license (FSFAP).

Also, let it be known here, that there are a few and notable contributions currently evolving on the user documentation area, as follows:

• synthv1 manual, by Wladimir J. van der Laan:

• samplv1 manual, by Menno Kenevel:

• samplv1 manual, by m4lez:

Please help if you can ;)

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 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.

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.
