Season's greetings everyone,

Early for the winter holydays, 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 again released, this time for the (northern) End-of-Autumn'23 season.

Still delivered in dual form:

• a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session, NSM (Non/New Session Management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI input support;
• a LV2 instrument plug-in.

Change-log:

• Mitigate LV2 State path mapping features duplication. (applies to samplv1 and drumkv1 only)
• Minor optimization to denormal avoidance on some fx's.
• Bumping into next development cycle (Qt >= 6.6)

Hi all,

Change-log:

• Fixed an ancient hack on session initialization to wait to JACK service start up, which hang up while on pipewire-jack >= 1.0.0.
• Add default audio metronome sample files.
• Fixed automation curve rescaling across multiple, more than just one or two, tempo-map node changes.
• New MIDI Tool Resize / Legato duration option added.
• MIDI Clip Editor (aka. piano-roll) thumb-view now taking tempo-map changes into account.
• Audio metronome is enabled only when both the bar and beat sample files are provided.

Wholly Greetings!

Change-log:

• Introduce Help > Enable ALSA MIDI runtime option, now permitting to disable the ALSA MIDI/Sequencer graph conveniency in a whim.
• Disconnect all pinned connections when patchbay is deactivated, subject to Patchbay > Auto Disconnect option.
• Fix a potential port duplication when recycled under the same node and reusing a previous port id.
• Don't unpin connections that are manually disconnected, when patchbay is deactivated and auto-pin is off.

Howdy!

Change-log:

• Multiple audio and/or MIDI files may now appear as arguments on the command line and get immediately imported into a new session; also, any audio or MIDI file may now be promptly imported into a new session from the main File/Open... dialog.
• New MIDI clip tool option added: Rescale/Invert.
• Introducing brand new MIDI clip tool: Tempo ramp.
• Disable or better hide the Add Tracks option on the MIDI tracks export dialog.
• Fixed a yearlong bug in MIDI file import/export of tempo, time and key signatures and markers, to severely wrong locations.
• Enable Aux-Send inserts on output buses, but list possible target buses only; audio output buses are now listed as possible targets iif they follow or succeed the source one (in internal processing order).
• Fixed MIDI tracks latency compensation, now working as expected.
• Show current/total plugins latency on the Track properties dialog,
• Fixed MIDI Step-input for non-zero offset clips.

Hello!

Change-log:

• Improved Patchbay / Exclusive mode scan enforcement.
• Hopefully fixes the hideous random crashes caused by very short lived nodes, recycled by reusing the very same ids.
• Cope with nodes that can possibly remain with the very same name but different ids.
• Added deactivated (-d, --deactivated) and non-exclusive patchbay (-n, --nonexclusive) command line options.
• Fixed unique/single instance support (Qt >= 6.6).
