I'm am extremely happy to announce the release of Swami 2.0.0 "Sounds of Celebration" and libinstpatch 1.0.0. This is the result of an 8+ year development cycle and marks the first release in the Swami 2.0 series. While this should be considered a beta release, it is well underway to being a powerful instrument editor and manager. Features: - Support for SoundFont format including 24 bit samples - FluidSynth soft synthesizer for audio synthesis - GTK2 based program with GObject oriented libraries for use in other applications - Loop finder and FFTune plugin for semi automated looping and sample tuning - Overlapping loop point viewer to help with creating seamless loops Currently semi functional: - Python binding. - Other instrument formats (DLS and GigaSampler), still rather incomplete though. Credits for this release: - Christian Collins for his generous contribution, testing, feature requests and support in getting this released! - Ebrahim Mayat for his continued testing on Mac OSX. - Luis Garrido for the Loop Finder algorithm and interest in this feature. - Element Green for everything else.
