We are pleased to announce the release of Yoshimi V1.3.6 Principal features for this release are the introduction of controls from the command line, covering many setup options, as well as extensive root/bank/instrument management. Some of these new controls are also available to MIDI via new NRPNs. Vector control has been extended so that there are four independent 'features' that each axis can control, ALSA audio has had a makeover, and will now work at your sound card's best bit depth - not just 16 bit (as it used to be). In the 'examples' directory there is a complete song set, 'OutThere.mid' and 'OutThere.xmz'. Together these produce a fairly complex 12 part tune that makes Yoshimi work quite hard. More information on these and other features are in the 'doc' directory. Yoshimi source code can be obtained either from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi or: https://github.com/Yoshimi/yoshimi Our mailing list is now: http://www.freelists.org/list/yoshimi -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
