Latest release

2017-08-22 - A Late-Summer'17 release.
samplv1-0.8.4.tar.gz

• Disabled "Custom style theme" option on LV2 plug-in form.

Previous release

2017-06-21 - A Summer'17 release.
samplv1-0.8.3.tar.gz

• Play (current sample) menu item has been added to sample display right-click context-menu as for triggering it as an internal MIDI note-on/off event.

Older releases

2017-05-02 - Pre-LAC2017 release frenzy.
samplv1-0.8.2.tar.gz

• A custom knob/spin-box behavioral option have been added: Configure/Knob edit mode, as to avoid abrupt changes upon editing values (still the default behavior) and only take effect (Deferred) when enter is pressed or the spin-box loses focus.
• The main GUI has been partially revamped, after replacing some rotary knob/dial combos with kinda more skeuomorphic fake-LED radio-buttons or check-boxes.
• A MIDI In(put) status fake-LED is now featured on the bottom-left status bar, adding up to eye-candy as usual.

2017-03-21 - A Spring'17 release.
samplv1-0.8.1.tar.gz

• 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.

2016-11-17 - A Fall'16 release.
samplv1-0.8.0.tar.gz

• LV2_STATE__StateChanged is now transmitted as a regular atom notification event, as far as to give some careful hosts enough slack to raise a dirty flag.
• Fixed input MIDI RPN/NRPN running status processing.
• Once forgotten, loop on/off setting is now consequential.
• Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command line options, wrt. installation directories specification, eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.

2016-09-19 - Eleventh official beta.
samplv1-0.7.6.tar.gz

• MIDI RPN/NRPN running status and RPN NULL reset command are now supported (input only).
• The core engine implementation is now delivered as a shared object library, common to both the JACK stand-alone client and the LV2 instrument plug-in.
• Discretely fixed MIDI Controlllers catch-up algorithm.

2016-06-16 - Tenth official beta.
samplv1-0.7.5.tar.gz

• LV2 Patch property parameters and Worker/Schedule support are now finally in place, allowing for sample file path selections from generic user interfaces.
• All changes to most continuous parameter values are now smoothed to a fast but finite slew rate.
• All BPM sync options to current transport (Auto) have been refactored to new special minimum value (which is now zero).
• In compliance to the LV2 spec. MIDI Controllers now affect cached parameter values only, via shadow ports, instead of input control ports directly, mitigating their read-only restriction.
• Make sure LV2 plug-in state is properly reset on restore.
• Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).

2016-03-02 - Ninth-bis official beta.
samplv1-0.7.4.tar.gz

• Fixed the DCF Formant filter voice initialization reset.
• French translation updated (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).

2016-02-22 - Ninth official beta.
samplv1-0.7.3.tar.gz

• Avoid out-of-bound MIDI events as much as possible, coping with LV2 plug-in hosts that feed/run them in on border line circumstances (as reported by Thorsten Wilms, on suspected Ardour looping crash/bug, probably fixed already, thanks).
• Safe defaults are tentatively sbeing introduced to internal OUT FX buffer-sizes, as read from JACK buffer-size changes and LV2 block-length instantiation bound options.
• Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.

2015-12-04 - Eighth official beta.
samplv1-0.7.2.tar.gz

• 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.
• Special value (0=Off) added to GEN Glide knob spin-box.

2015-07-24 - Seventh official beta.
samplv1-0.7.0.tar.gz

• Complete rewrite of Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
• Reset ramps after LV2 control port reconnection; small fixes to LV2.ttl (pull-requests by Hanspeter Portner aka. ventosus on synthv1, thanks).
• MIDI Controllers/Programss is now an optional feature on the LV2 plugin forms, as some LV2 hosts might enforce the purity restriction to input control ports as being absolutely read- only parameter values from a plugin's instance perspective.
• MIDI Controller mapping/learn is now possible on all parameter control knobs; with global configuration also avaiable on the Help/Configure dialog.
• French (fr) translation line to desktop file added (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).

2015-05-09 - A sixth official beta.
samplv1-0.6.3.tar.gz

• Main widget layout changed as much to allow sampler display to expand or grow vertically as needed.

2015-04-30 - A fifth official beta.
samplv1-0.6.2.tar.gz

• Custom knob/dial behavior mode options are now introduced: linear and angular (aka. radial) as far to avoid abrupt changes on first mouse click (still the default behavior).
• Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.

2015-03-09 - A fourth official beta.
samplv1-0.6.1.tar.gz

• 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).

• Fixed a Qt5 FTBFS re. QHeaderView::set[Section]ResizeMode().

2015-01-23 - A third official beta.
samplv1-0.6.0.tar.gz

• MIDI bank-select/program-changes is now supported, for patch, preset and/or instrument program control.
• New Help/Configure dialog is introduced for editing the also new MIDI bank/programs interface and user preference options as well (new home of the old Help/Use native dialogs option).
• Presets may now be specified by base name, as an alternative to the complete preset file-path on command line argument (re. stand-alone JACK client).
• Fixed parameters A/B comparison swap.

2014-09-12 - One second official beta.
samplv1-0.5.1.tar.gz

• One decimal digit added to all scalar parameters and knobs.

• New user preference option, cf. Help/Use native dialogs.
• An anti-denormal regression applied to the Phaser fx stage (affecting early proto-beta >= 0.4.0).

2014-04-07 - A proto-beta bis.
samplv1-0.4.1.tar.gz

• Once so called 'Noise' wave-shapes are now being made a lot more deterministic, read idempotent ;).

• A brand new icon drops the lamest old-schooler's out, in a master lesson taught by Jarle Richard Akselsen, thanks.

2013-05-31 - Late spring blossoming.
samplv1-0.3.3.tar.gz

Git Access

This project's Git repository can be checked out through anonymous (http) access with the following instructions:

git clone http://git.code.sf.net/p/samplv1/code samplv1-git

You then need to prepare the configure script on the just created samplv1-git source directory:

cd samplv1-git

./autogen.sh

Hopefully, you'll be now with a proper source tree, ready for build.

Note

For quite some time there are alternate Git repositories which are kept in sync with the above sf.net one:

• https://github.com/rncbc/samplv1.git
• https://gitlab.com/rncbc/samplv1.git
• https://bitbucket.org/rncbc/samplv1.git

However, this doesn't mean that the samplv1 project is about to migrate to a brand new hosting whatsoever: the original upstream source code repository is, will be, as it ever was, always kept somewhere else still in this world and universe.
