Hello Linux Audio world, It's been a while since the last Zyn release and what better time to have another than alongside the other quarterly releases. The 3.0.6 release of the Zyn synthesizer is well overdue at this point, but for the moment this is going to be the first release candidate while some additional QA work is done to tidy things up for a proper release. So, what's new with Zyn since the 3.0.5 release? Well, there's some enhancements to show off internal waveforms via oscilloscope like probes, there's progress in the area of adding additional antialiasing to base oscillators, repeatable envelopes, smoother amplitude and filter parameter transitions, and more. In terms of bugs a few excessive volume bugs were tracked down, a couple of crashes were resolved, and even a compiler bug was identified which resulted in some long needed workarounds. As this is a release candidate, some of the full release rigor has been skipped, but everything should be back to normal for the full release. For the time being just check out the 3.0.6-rc1 tag in: The Zyn core/backend: www.github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx The Zyn-Fusion GUI: www.github.com/mruby-zest/mruby-zest-build As always the project can be reached via the zynaddsubfx-user mailing list, the ##zynaddsubfx IRC channel on freenode, and the bug tracker (www.github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-issues) Happy Hacking, --Mark
