Hi all,

The 'Vee One Suite', the 'gang-of-four' '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 updated to the (northern) Spring'26 season...

Still delivered in dual form:
- 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:
- Fixed the opening/loading sample file of an empty element, often 
requiring a second try to show up correctly on the LV2 Plug-in's GUI 
(JACK stand-alone was/is fine; applies to drumkv1 [3] only).
- Bumping into next development cycle (Qt >= 6.11)

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.
