Greetings,

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments, primarily slated for Linux, featuring synthv1, a polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1, a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1, a drum-kit sampler, are officially in beta phase now.

Change-log for the new release:

• LV2 UI Idle and Show interfaces support added.
• First attempt to allow a headless stand-alone JACK client application run mode, without a GUI, with option given as command line argument (--no-gui).
• A man page has been added (re. stand-alone JACK clients).
• Reverse sample option and parameter knob added. (samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.

As before, all made available in dual form:

• 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 Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

The fine print follows ;)

Headless finally!

all that is to say that it may now run without the GUI (eg. qmidinet --no-gui).

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.

Have (lots of) fun!

Howdy!

As a pre-LAC release frenzy,

the change-log for this release are mainly fixes:

• New user preference option added as View/Options.../Display/Transport/Hold auto-scrolling (follow play-head) on edits (after requests by Holger Marzen and Louigi Verona, thanks).
• All color chooser dialogs were missing proper titles.
• Audio peak file re-generation and clean-up has been hopefully fixed and cache optimized (re. drawing audio clip waveforms).
• Fixed initial session snap-per-beat setting on main toolbar.
• Clip/Export...'ed files are now made persistent, no questions asked (after a ticket by Oliver Kester, thanks).
• Portuguese (pt) translation added (by Esteban Viveros, thanks).

The Vee One Suite of old-school also gets an interesting update.

changes for the third proto-beta release are:

• Badly named 'Noise' wave-shape oscillators get their band-limited treat option and re-labeled as 'Rand' (synthv1 only); also a brand new wave-shape 'Noise' is then introduced (now for real :)).
• New user preference option, cf. Help/Use native dialogs.
• An anti-denormal regression applied to the Phaser fx stage (affecting early proto-beta >= 0.4.0).

all still 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 plugin.

Remember that both Qtractor and the Vee One Suite are free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

See you all on LAC2014@ZKM-Karlsruhe!

The Vee One Suite of (maybe not so anymore) old-school specialized instruments gets an update to a new bis encore...

the changes for this second proto-beta release are:

• Once so called 'Noise' wave-shapes are now being made a lot more deterministic, read idempotent ;).
• Fully alias-free/band-limited wavetable oscillators are now in place, making it a better virtual-analog synthesizer (esp. for running sample-rates below 96KHz; synthv1 only).
• Late optimizations to basic wave-table oscillators.
• Make sure the LV2 plugin back-end always builds first, before its respective LV2 UI front-end client.

all still available in dual form:

• 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 plugin.

all made free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Once again, it's springtime.

Once again, the planet revolved and stepped forward against its mother star.

Hence the three bees release... it won't be that far fetched if you find this naming a deliberate pun riddle indeed--the wise will know already while the clueless will get it sudden in a couple of days ;)

Well, no big surprises nor earthshaking features are being here pitched then, just some small and otherwise humble improvements and fixes and what not.

Nevertheless and not just for the record that is, it marks the day of a long overdue and severely procrastinated beta phase release. Whatever. It's dang official now: one step closer to omega, no doubt ;)

Contrary to, maybe, newer generations, I always strive to say the least. As to say about literal face-value meaning, as written and read on timeless textbooks, it's all left in between the lines or, this part is the one I like most, left over as an exercise--in some kind of healthy masochism, perhaps :).

No wonder,

Release highlights:

• Plugin automation high resolution option (NEW)
• Plugin 'About' page (NEW)
• Native DE dialogs option (NEW)
• Follow play-head slack time (NEW)
• MIDI RPN/NRPN 14-bit controllers input (FIX)

See you all on LAC2014@ZKM-Karlsruhe!

and have a happy new springtime, cheers!

Howdy,

as to no surprise (rly?) the so called Vee One Suite of old-schoolyards gets bullied down to another bump in the head: now turning into a proto-beta party?

righto!

again as usual, all made available in dual form:

• 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 plugin.

all free and open-source Linux Audio software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Half-a-dozen years have gone, it is today that the sequel to My Software Ecology goes online, adding to the already shameless self show-off :) Hope you find it interesting if not only fun to read.

There it goes,

A bigger thanks to Gabbe Nord for the additional five-teen minutes of fame.

Have a nice and prosperous New Year!
Cheers.

Happy year-ending to y'all.

Not a fiscal report I'm afraid but the biggest load of Q-stuff released ever ;)

Enjoy!

As falling leaves drift by the window, and without any further ado:

Soon we'll hear a new winter's song. This code-naming series, which started on a sunny summer day two years ago as TYOQA, is now converging to an end. It will be no surprise for some that today's release precedes the very last one on that series. So let's get those autumn leaves falling and grab them while they're crispy red and gold ;)

Release highlights:

• Extended automation curve editing (NEW)
• Extended clip selection (NEW)
• LV2 UI resize feature support (NEW)
• Aux-sends to audio buses (FIX)
• MIDI editor overlapped event velocity/value (FIX)
• Accidental export muting and/or freezing (FIX)

Cheers.

Yet again, a new batch the Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments is out: synthv1 polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 drum-kit sampler.

As usual, all three are made available in dual form:

• 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 plugin.

As for this release changes:

• First attempt on separating the DSP code from UI as runtime objects, effective for the LV2 plugin deploy.
• MIDI channel filter switch is now introduced.
• Fixed uninstall target make rule.
• Mono(phonic) mode switch is now being introduced.
• Another minor fix to note-off fast-release.
