Vee One Suite 0.9.28 - An End-of-Year'22 Release batch #2


Holidays greetings,

Yet one second time and behold:

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.

This time released for this End-of-Year'22 season...

All still delivered 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.

A brief change-log applies for all in common:

  • Mitigate NSM sending lots of dirty messages on SIGTERM signal.
  • Although being deprecated to use, JACK Session support hopefuly fixed once again.

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.

Description:

Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework.
