spectmorph-0.3.0 has been released. Overview of Changes in spectmorph-0.3.0: ---------------------------------------- * Incompatible file format changes: - use 16-bit integer values for sine and noise data instead of floats to reduce file size on disk and in memory - introduce short_name & name field for instruments - changed the way noise is represented from total band energy to normalized noise level * Use Qt5 for the GUI, instead of gtkmm. * Added Grid Morph operator: allows morphing between more than two sources. * Adapted code to work with newer beast (0.10.0) and rapicorn (0.16.0). * Improved tests. * Various bugfixes. * Performance improvements. What is SpectMorph? ------------------- SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute. Also interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be interesting. SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3 SpectMorph is still under development. This means: * the fileformat is not yet stable - instruments or morph plans may not work with newer versions of SpectMorph * the algorithms for synthesizing sounds are still under development - newer versions may sound different To sum it up: if you compose music using SpectMorph, don't expect newer versions to be compatible in any way.
