Greetings, The 'the gang of three' old-school software instruments aka. the 'Vee One Suite', comprised by synthv1 [1], as one polyphonic synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler and drumkv1 [3], as one drum-kit sampler, are now being released in their eighth official beta iteration. All still available in dual form: - 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. Change-log: - A brand new LFO BPM control parameter is being introduced, as a subordinate to LFO Rate, with follow/sync to current transport/host option (BPM=Auto). - LFO Sync (free running) mode option has been introduced. - A fourth DCF type has been added: a vocal Formant filter. - A third DCF slope/type has been added: the RBJ's bi-quad. - Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script. - Introducing brand new OUT FX Send parameter per engine. - Introducing brand new DCO, LFO Ring Mod(ulator) parameters (synthv1 [1] only). - Special value (0=Off) added to DCO1,2 and GEN Glide knob spin-boxes (synthv1 [1] and samplv1 [2]). - Fixed an old bug that caused an immediate crash on triggering any sample key/element with its (exclusive) Group parameter set to anything but "Off" or "1" (drumkv1 [3] only). The Vee One Suite are free, open-source Linux Audio [9] software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) [8] version 2 or later. And here they are! **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1]** synthv1 0.7.2 (eighth official beta) is released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
