Announcing phasex-0.12.0-beta2
I've been away from the dev circles for a while, but I haven't
forgotten about keeping phasex up to date. The new phasex beta
targets all of the current build/usability issues, and includes a ton
of small changes and fixes:
- Clearer licensing (code and samples GPLv2, patches public domain).
- Reworked JACK connection code (can now survive JACK restarts when
running multiple instances).
- Initial support for sampled oscillator waveforms (Juno-106 and vocal
waveforms currently included).
- Sound quality improvements (super-clean chorus using hermite
interpolation, cleaner envelope curves, smoothing added for
pitchbender adjustments, and fixes for portamento and mono
keymode triggering).
- New parameters (pan, lfo support for resonance, fine-tuning for osc
pitch and fm).
- Fixed 64 bit builds.
- Added new architectures in the x86 family.
- Fixed file dialog problems with newer GTK builds.
- New GTK theme and color scheme.
- See the ChangeLog for more...
This beta aims at being a stable release. All of the currently known
showstoppers have been fixed. Builds under Fedora 8 and Fedora 10
behave well with jackd and jackdmp. Builds under Debian/Ubuntu and
with jackdbus have not yet been tested. Any build and crash reports
would be greatly appreciated, especially from distribution
maintainers. I aim to release a stable 0.12.0 in a couple of weeks,
including updated patches.

It's nice to be back working on Linux audio!

Wow, this is great. I don't know if you read how much we worried that
the project could be dead since we didn't hear a thing in such a long
time and the domain apparently expired.
We mirrored the tarballs at a number of locations and I believe someone
put the website up somewhere as well.
This is simply great, I'll try it immediately.
Do you want bug reports per mail or some other way?
Best regards,
Philipp
