Hi.
I released ZynAddSubFX 1.4.2 on
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net
News:
- (small) tutorials
- added full-featured, advanced formantic
filters
- added mixer panel which lets you to see/change
most important part settings, and shows a vu-meters
for each part
- you can choose to process the instrument's kit
items only with one Part effect (eg. you can make a
instrument kit that contains a reverberated piano and
flanged strings)
- enabled to launch more instances in Jack
- when is launched first time, it searches for
default.bnk_zyn file into /usr/share/zynaddsubfx and
/usr/local/share/zynaddsubfx directories (useful for
binary packages for Linux distributions)
- bugfixes
For those that you don't know, ZynAddSubFX is a
poweful software synthsizer for Linux and Windows.
Paul.

Awesome work! I really love ZynAddSubFX!
Yet there's one small simple thing I'd like to feature-request..
Could program-change on a midi channel be recognized?
This way I can browse instruments from the sequencer or keyboard
more easily!
Oh and a little thing, from the site, and sorry for the offtopic but maybe
more ladders have experience on this point. Not being Christianism
my religion, I still do agree that is a lack of respect and discrimination
to promote music that tries to discredit a religion, yet I think some
things are not clear to me.
I can understand about metal lyrics being anti-christian, we've seen
that countless times in groups from megadeth to iron maiden,
But I have no idea why "New Age" music is considered against god, since
it has nothing to do with the "New Age" spiritual/religious movement (which
is definitely anti-christian). Nowadays people calls "New Age" music to
anything ambient, soft jazz, lounge, soundtraquesque, etc. Even people
like vangelis gets his music called "New Age" and he never intended it
to be associated with that name. As far as I know, and for historical reasons,
the idea of the term comes from the idea of ritualistic music based on
sustained voices, beats and nature elements inspired on indian tranditions
and that kind of things, but was rapidly taken by musicans to call anything
nature/ambient and out of the context of religion. Maybe the site should
specify "Anti christian ritual music"?
Well, cheers and thanks for such an awesome piece of work!
Juan Linietsky
Cheers!

This may be off-topic, but not entirely. When the author of an audio
app requests users not to use his work to produce music that is anti-
Christian, I wonder what is meant by this. If this were a commercial
app, I wouldn't bother about it for a second. But since it is open
source and just given to me, I do.
All major religions share the same ethical values - of love, respect for
human life (and to varying degrees, other forms of life), honesty, etc.
And I think all of this can be subscribed to by most of humanity.
With the possible exception of Buddhism, which in all its variations
emphasises personal responsability and offers little else to blame for
your misery, all of them also offer a scala of tendencies ranging from
fundamentalist (adherence to rules) to spriritual (adherence to principles).
Where they differ is in how they try to explain things - creation, the
choice of moral values, etc.
So what does it mean to be 'anti-Christian'? Personally, I'll be anti-X
when either X is harmful to society, or when X propagates intolerance to
other ways of thinking.
So my question to the author if ZynAddSubFX is this: if I use your work
to produce Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist or other religious music (all very
beautiful and elevating the spirit), do you object ? When I play Mozart's
freemason's mourning music which can bring tears to my eyes, do you mind ?
If yes, I will respect this and not use your work at all.
If no, maybe you should consider rephrasing your conditions.
With kind regards,
FA

Fons,
Thank you for your words. My thoughts on the matter are much the same as
yours, but I hadn't managed to come up with the words to express them on
my own. The questions you ask Paul are the questions I would like to
have asked on my own if only I had been able to formulate them.

Maybe it's just a plot to get his product known widely due to it's
controversy, and the inevitable discussions :)
