Vee One Suite 0.6.1 - A fourth beta release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi, The 'Vee One Suite' of this 'old-school' software instruments, also self-indicted as the gang of three usual suspects thou being: synthv1 [1], as one polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], as one drum-kit sampler, now released into the world, yet still beta. Not much of any audible changes I must say for this so called fourth beta release though it goes as follows: - Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData. - Introducing LV2 port-groups (as proposed by Amadeus Folego aka. badosu, thanks). - Improved envelope widget nodes click-and-drag precision. - Introducing a brand new user preference on eye-candy: cf. Help/Configure.../Options/Custom style theme (applies to the JACK stand-alone client only though). - Envelope and filter now rendered with anti-aliased lines. - Fixed a Qt5 FTBFS re. QHeaderView::set[Section]ResizeMode(). There's no surprise as it's all made available in dual form, as usual: - a pure stand-alone JACK [4] client with JACK-session, NSM [5] (Non Session management) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA [6] MIDI input support; - a LV2 [7] 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) [8] version 2 or later. Yet again, business as usual :/ **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1]** synthv1 0.6.1 (fourth official beta) has been released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.

QXGEdit 0.2.0 is out!

by Rui Capela

Hi all! Every couple of years I decide to do some spring cleaning, a bit early this time, perhaps... And then again I stepped into this kind of pure nineties junkyard synth that's still powering on here and then with great joy. And that's happening on every PCI sound-card slot that can be found around here. All about that Yamaha DB50XG (nb. fact is Yamaha doesn't list it on the product archives anymore, so this might be all just archaeology by now...) Nevertheless, here it goes again: QXGEdit 0.2.0 is out! QXGEdit is a live XG instrument editor, specialized on editing MIDI System Exclusive files (.syx) for the Yamaha DB50XG and thus probably a baseline for many other XG devices. Website: http://qxgedit.sourceforge.net Project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qxgedit Downloads: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qxgedit/files - source tarball: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.2.0.tar.gz - source package (openSUSE 13.2): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.2.0-5.rncbc.suse132.src.… - binary packages (openSUSE 13.2): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.2.0-5.rncbc.suse132.i586… http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qxgedit/qxgedit-0.2.0-5.rncbc.suse132.x86_… Change-log: - In a glance, all GUI toolbox pages converted into tabs. - Introducing a brand new user preference on eye-candy: cf. View/Options.../Display/Widget style theme. - Most graphics now rendered with anti-aliased lines. - A man page has beed added. - Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS. - Fix port origin on MIDI RPN/NRPN 14-bit controllers input.
