It allows limitless automation, supports LV2 plugins, works with the JACK audio backend, provides chord assistance, is free software and can be used in English, French, Portuguese, Japanese and German. It is written in C using the GTK+3 toolkit. More info can be found at <https://www.zrythm.org> # Current state We believe that Zrythm is now in the late alpha stage where most essential features are implemented and it's starting to be more stable, and we are approaching beta. It seems to be usable for MIDI-based workflows and the UI is very responsive on well-tuned machines. The main changes since the last announcement are the following (you can view the whole changelog here: < https://github.com/zrythm/zrythm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>gt;;);;). ## Optimized UI The drawing code for many parts of the interface has been rewritten with optimization in mind. We saw big improvements in performance and CPU usage, so if you tried Zrythm before and your CPU usage was going crazy, or if it was laggy on your machine, we highly suggest you give the new release a spin. More specifically, the following were composite GTK widgets before, which was causing too many calculations to be done and lag when too many objects were on the screen - something not acceptable for a DAW. We converted them into canvases, which means that everything inside these gets drawn in one go, avoiding the need for multi-step, nested calculations. - Tracks - Timeline arranger - All editors (piano roll, chord editor, automation editor, audio editor) - Piano roll keys ## Experimental VST support We added support for Linux VSTs. ## Many, many bugfixes You will find that Zrythm is much more stable now. If you spot any bugs/crashes, PLEASE report them. We want to fix all of them. ## More distros supported Debian 9 (stretch) and all derivatives (Ubuntu 18.04, AVLinux, LinuxMint 19.3, LibraZik 2, etc.) are now supported. Many people were having problems installing supported versions of some dependencies, such as lilv. Zrythm can now automatically fetch and build these dependencies as a fallback if they are not found, thanks to meson's wrap system. ## New logo Thanks to Carlos Han - C.K. Design (<https://twitter.com/karl_iaxd>) for the new logo! # Next on the TODO list Our next goal is to support Windows. After that, we will work on stability and fixing any bugs and crashes so we can get Zrythm into beta, so please help us find them. # Links Home page: <https://www.zrythm.org> Git repositories: <https://git.zrythm.org/cgit/> Manual: <https://manual.zrythm.org/en/index.html> Developer reference: <https://docs.zrythm.org/> Bug reports: <https://redmine.zrythm.org/projects/zrythm/issues> Releases: <https://www.zrythm.org/releases/>
