It allows limitless automation through curves, LFOs and envelopes, supports multiple plugin formats including LV2, VST2 and VST3, works with multiple backends including JACK, RtAudio/RtMidi and SDL2, assists with chord progressions via a special Chord Track and chord pads, and can be used in multiple languages including English, French, Portuguese, Japanese and German. Zrythm is free software written in C using the GTK4 toolkit and can be extended using GNU Guile. Zrythm is currently in beta. The project format is stable and we are working towards a v1 release. ==== Links ==== Full changelog: https://git.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/tree/master/item/CHANGELOG.md Pending features for v1: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-feature?search=status%3Aopen+label%3A%22… Pending fixes for v1: https://todo.sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm-bug?search=status%3Aopen+label%3A%22v1%22 Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Installer downloads: <https://www.zrythm.org/en/download.html> Git repository: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm> User manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Issue trackers: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/trackers> Mailing lists: <https://sr.ht/~alextee/zrythm/lists> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/> Donations: <https://www.zrythm.org/en/community.html#donate> ==== Release Notes ==== This is the first beta release where the project format is stabilized. If we discover any issue that requires breaking the project format, Zrythm will take care to auto-upgrade older projects. The remaining issues for v1 are mostly visual bugs and convenience features.
