Vee One Suite 0.9.30 - An Early-Spring'23 Release batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi there, The 'Vee One Suite' of 'old-school' software instruments, * synthv1 [1] as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer; * samplv1 [2] a polyphonic sampler synthesizer; * drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are here released for this (northern) [i]Early-Spring'23[/i] season... As always, all being delivered in dual form: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. A common change-log follows: - Restrict to existing named presets when adding new or editing programs; load and restore presets directly when previewing programs (cf. Configure... > Programs). - NSM open and save operation failures are now replied with an error status (was always OK before). - JACK client watchdog introduced for automatic reactivation and resilience (standalone only). - NSM announcement reply/error messages now relegated to debug builds only. The 'Vee One Suite' are free, open-source Linux Audio [10] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [11] version 2 or later. **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1] ** synthv1 0.9.30 (early-spring'23) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

[LAD] Programming LV2 Music Production Plugins Tutorial Series II

by Sven Jaehnichen

Hi, a story to continue. I'll release a second block of video tutorials about LV2 plugin programming from the scratch. For everybody who wants to make his/her own plugins. This time about graphical user interfaces. I'll show you: * the LV2 way to go, with turtle and C/C++, * toolkits and the pitfalls, * some of the toolkits we can use, and * finally how to make UIs for the plugins we made before. Every Friday, for the next some 10 weeks. Starting with this announcement video: https://youtu.be/7mCLDBBXajU See you on Friday Sven
