There are lots of improvements in the code that need to get in your computer/DAW! Let’s have a release! This is mostly a bugfix release, making Zyn a smoother and more stable audio design/music making experience. Especially notable the preset and session file loading has been cleaned up and polished, now including a search in the legacy fltk UI version. Another cool new feature is using more of your computer cores (if available) to generate the padsynth wavetables so you can hear the results of your tweaking much sooner (not yet available on windows). Many causes of crashes were fixed for both Zyn-Fusion users and users of the legacy UI.
Finally, we are very pleased to announce that this is the last release before the free licensing of the zyn-fusion UI source code. In fulfilment of our promised dedication to open source and free-licensed software, this month we expect to have everything fully converted to MIT or GPL license and publicly available. This marks the end of the “fundraiser” portion of the open-source-eventually scheme, attempting to finance the full time work that allowed the completion of zyn-fusion. Binaries for those who don’t want to build from source will still be available for sale for a modest (not yet determined) price which will continue to fund bug fixes and new features. We thank all of you for your support.
