> This release contains many fixes and improvements and is highly
> recommended for all PHASEX users.  Here's a brief list (see the
> ChangeLog for more details):
>
> Engine fixes:  Filters and oscillator bandlimiting are now properly
> tuned (taking into account filter oversampling) and work as
> documented.  Calculations for lookup tables are more accurate.  The
> envelope curve has been improved and sounds a lot more natural.
> Additional bugfixes are found in the ALSA MIDI startup and JACK
> shutdown code.
>
> Engine optimizations:  A few simple optimizations have been worked
> out, with an average of about 30% CPU cycle reduction per voice, and
> about 30MB of memory overall.  For custom builds, the engine can
> easily be fine-tuned in phasex.h, and the --enable-arch= configure 
> option supports all x86 CPU types supported by gcc-4.1.2.
>
> Improved patch bank:  The entire bank is preloaded into memory.  
> There is now support for patches in alternate directories.  The
> memory modes have been reworked (and finally documented in the
> runtime help system).  Multiple patches from a directory may now be
> loaded into the patch bank at once.
>
> GUI updates: Special thanks goes out to Pete Shorthose for providing
> the initial backing store code and some pearls of GTK wisdom to make
> window redrawing and tab switching faster and smoother.  For those 
> of you who haven't done so already, now would be a good time to 
> enable backing store in your X server.
>
> Knob and control updates:  Scroll wheel support has been added to
> the knobs and alternate controls.  Middle-click centering of knobs
> is more responsive.  The cumbersome combobox lists have been changed
> to detent knobs with clickable value labels.
>
> Parameter locking:  Parameters can now be locked down to their
> current values, effectively blocking out program changes, patch
> loads, and MIDI controller messages on a per-parameter basis.
>
> New settings:  The base A4 tuning frequency and backing store can
> now be set in the preferences dialog.
>
>
> Cheers!
