[LAA] Zynaddsubfx 3.0.2 - The “Liquefaction” Release

by Spencer Jackson

Zynaddsubfx 3.0.2 - The “Liquefaction” Release As we saw the needs of users and switched priorities accordingly we have been working on some big new features and are excited to announce a new release. Perhaps eclipsing all other features in this release, “Liquefaction” adds a new Macro learning and automation feature. This feature is just in its infancy but already allows the sound designer to select one or more parameters and map them to macro slots which can then be bound to midi controls for live tweaking with your controller, or exposed to a plugin host for automation in your DAW. With this powerful new system you can create arbitrary mappings of up to 4 parameters to a single knob. We hope you find this feature useful and exciting as it develops further. You can look through our current documentation on the feature at: http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/doc/automations/parameter-automation-doc… Note that users of the “legacy” UI will not be able to access this feature fully, but midi learn should operate still as expected. Scala file loading for microtonal users is another highly-requested feature landing in 3.0.2. The highlights of added features and bugfixes include : - Upgrade MIDI learn system to include host automations and macro learned controls - Upgrade analog filter parameters to floating point resolution - ready for some crazy automation - Add many optimizations improving general performance - Fix microtonal .kbm/.scl file loading - for when 12 pitches just aren’t enough - Re-enable Auto-save - Restructure layout code to improve performance when changing views - Remove dependency on GLPK/glpsol - Add runtime update for ADsynth modulator volume/frequency - Add drag operation for multiple harmonic manipuation - Add sidebar kit toggle via middle-mouse https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-issues/issues/73 - Add default values to OSC metadata - Fix exit when closing zyn-fusion subprocess - Fix crash with large number of pad synth samples - Silence 0 volume effects - Silence 0 volume add synth voices - Fix memory leak on closing GUI (windows only) - Rewrite file selector to fix various bugs - Fix window closing bug in standalone https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-issues/issues/17 - Fix crash on File->quit when in plugin mode - Changes bank search sorting to use path+file (was just file based sort) https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-issues/issues/46 - Adds cursor indicator to various text fields https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-issues/issues/16 - Fix octave knob in footer - Add configurable frames-per-second environmental variables for low end systems https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-issues/issues/85 - Fix minor bugs And here’s the contribution score card by number of commits since 3.0.1: (b347cce) 41 fundamental 12 Johannes Lorenz 3 Olivier Humbert 2 ssj71 2 falkTX 1 Ihor Khomyn 1 Daniel Sheeler We hope you all enjoy this new release and make some cool new sounds while playing with the macro feature. Remember that any who already purchased the Zyn-Fusion UI will be able to download this updated version for free from Gumroad. In the progression toward making the UI fully free-licensed the source code is now available to Gumroad subscribers. The license is restrictive at this time but will soon be relicensed and made free (as in freedom). Now go make some noise! --Team Zyn.

[LAA] [ANN] WhySynth DSSI softsynth 20170701 release

by Sean Bolton

I'm pleased to announce the 20170701 release of WhySynth, a DSSI softsynth plugin featuring four oscillators per voice, multiple oscillator, filter, and envelope modes, effects, and more. New since the last release: * Over 100 new patch presets, thanks to Brian Collins at linuxsynths.com. * Patches now have a 'category' field, with which you can organize the patch list. * Fixes for a couple security concerns, a pile of bugs, and a raft of compiler warnings. * A change to the default knob behavior. * No new synthesis features (yet). See below for information on potential breakage or confusion caused by these changes. Find WhySynth here: http://smbolton.com/whysynth.html More information on the DSSI plugin standard, available hosts and plugins can be found here: http://dssi.sourceforge.net/ WhySynth is written and copyright (c) 2017 by Sean Bolton, and licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2. Oh, goody, breakage and confusion: * The addition of the category field meant a change to the patch file format. Unfortunately, earlier versions of WhySynth were not designed with forward compatibility in mind. If you save patches in the new 'version 1' format, older WhySynths will not be able to load them. If you save patches in the old 'version 0' format, both older and current versions of WhySynth can use them. (Current versions can even save and load the categories using 'version 0' format, thanks to a bit of a hack, but don't round-trip from new to old to new versions of WhySynth, or you'll lose your categories.) * This release changes the default mouse button bindings of the knobs. Previously, dragging mouse button 1 made changes in angular mode: the knob would (quite abruptly) move to point toward the mouse pointer. Dragging mouse button 3 used to operate in linear mode, where moving the pointer vertically or horizontally would make smooth incremental changes. This release swaps that behavior between the two buttons, to what I think is a more usable default. If you prefer the old behavior, you can add the following to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0: gtk-control-rotary-prefer-angular = 1 Have fun! -Sean
