Great news! The 'Vee One Suite' of old-school software instruments, respectively synthv1 [1], as a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer, samplv1 [2], a polyphonic sampler synthesizer and drumkv1 [3] as yet another drum-kit sampler, are once again out in the wild! 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. The common change-log for this dot release follows: - Fixed a probable old miss about changing spin-box and drop-down list not reflecting changes immediately into the respective parameter dial knobs. - Fixed middle-button clicking on the dial-knobs to reset to the current default parameter value. - Help/Configure.../Options/Use desktop environment native dialogs option is now set initially off by default. - Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks). - Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of the configure build date and time stamps. And here they go again! **synthv1 - an old-school polyphonic synthesizer [1]** synthv1 0.8.1 (spring'17) released! synthv1 is an old-school all-digital 4-oscillator subtractive polyphonic synthesizer with stereo fx.
