Summery cheers!

The Vee One Suite of old-school software instruments are here released for the northern estival sesson:

• synthv1 0.9.9
• samplv1 0.9.9
• drumkv1 0.9.9
• padthv1 0.9.9

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 plug-in.

The changes for this second batch of the Qstuff* Summer'19 release series are:

• Randomization of current parameters and partials is now available through a new top-level push-button and the context-menu respectively (partials randomization is applicable to padthv1 only).
• Zero-crossing detection algorithm has been improved, most specially to mitigate transient clicks across offset and/or loop points (whether applicable to samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• Updated for the newer Qt5 development tools (>= 5.13).
• Per instance custom tuning (micro-tonal) option has been added to the previously existing global settings (cf. Help > Configure... > Tuning > Global, Instance).
• New DCF, LFO and DCA Enabled parameters (DCA disabling is applicable to samplv1 and drumkv1 only).
• Configure updated to check for qtchooser availability.

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.

Summery greetings y'all!

On the northern estival season comes the so called Qstuff* Summer'19 release madness galore...

Please enjoy the first batch:

• QjackCtl 0.5.9
• Qsynth 0.5.7
• Qsampler 0.5.6
• QXGEdit 0.5.5
• QmidiCtl 0.5.5
• QmidiNet 0.5.5

On the other news:

Maybe not as compelling as any of those bad old Qstuff* but jack_link has made it to version 0.0.9 ... Yeah, and some weeks ago already, must I tell ya ;)

jack_link is a JACK time-base--and now also a transport--kinda-proof-of-concept bridge to Ableton Link, which already goes into its V3 incarnation.

In a (long, rather boring) sentence, this means that jack_link is now a bilateral bridge--read two-way--to JACK time-base master to Ableton Link local-cloud;) and vice-versa.

The usual caveat emptor rule applies. It may work well--if at all--on some JACK clients and incredibly FUBAR for others (!). To speak the truth, it has been only tested with--and you know what--yours truly Qtractor. And that's what makes me happy :)

Hope it makes you too!

Awe cheers!

Hi all,

Too hot to make any boring introduction, so let's get this straight:

The changes for this yet another seasonal release are as follows:

• Plugin-lists and respective plugins state may now be exported and/or imported as XML files.
• When in Drum Mode, Key and Scale are meaningless and thus functionally disabled from the MIDI clip editor (aka. piano-roll).
• MIDI clip editor's View > Ghost Track menu option is now finally a reality: show any existing MIDI track and its respective clips in the background as dimmed, semi-transparent aka. ghost events.
• Minor update to Debian packaging control file.
• Make sure partially selected clips are reset to whole when Shift/Ctrl keyboard modifiers are in effect, to prevent extraneous clip splits or cutaways afterwards.
