Boring news ahead... Once again, the 'Vee One Suite' of so called '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 and padthv1 [4] as a polyphonic additive synthesizer, are here released onto the wild, just for the (Northern) Fall/Autumn'20 season... Boring as hell, they still feature the same two kinds of deliverables: - a pure stand-alone JACK client with JACK-session [5], NSM (Non/New Session Management [6]) and both JACK MIDI and ALSA MIDI [7] input support; - a LV2 instrument plug-in [8]. Change-log: - Upstream package naming for the JACK standalone and LV2 plugin deliverables are suffixed to '-jack' and '-lv2', respectively. - Fixed note-off effectiveness when DCA is disabled (idle). (applies to <a href="#samplv1">samplv1</a> and <a href="#drumkv1">drumkv1</a> only) - White keys on the virtual piano keyboard are now fully highlighted. 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.
