[ANN] Vee One Suite 0.9.90 - A Spring'24 Release Candidate batch #2

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi, 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; * padthv1 [4] a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Are here for the (northern) Spring'24 release candidate, in a so called QStuff* second batch of the blooming season... All still delivered in dual form, as usual: - 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: - Prepping the unthinkable (aka. v1.0.0-rc1) - Custom color themes are now file based (*.conf); legacy still preserved ntl. - Fixed the build checks on whether to use old or newer style of LV2 include headers. 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 0.9.90 (spring'24 aka. v1.0.0-rc1) is out! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
