Zynaddsubfx 3.0.3 - The “She Scanned” Release

4 Dec 2017

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.
