Hi, Petri-Foo is a fork of the Specimen sampler project created in February 2011. The first source-code release of Petri-Foo is now available to download and build and is available directly from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/petri-foo/files/Source/petri-foo-0.0.1.tar.… Many of the features of Petri-Foo are almost identical to Specimen except: Modulation: * decoupled LFOs and Envelopes from parameters (modulation sources can be chosen independently for each parameter). * LFOs themselves can be frequency modulated * Keyboard tracking. Sampler: * improved sample viewer * improved drawing code using Cairo * faster waveform drawing after window damage. * additional 'to end' playback option. * fades for playback and cross-fades for looping Voice: * improved mono/legato operation * improved envelope behaviour for mono/legato operation Plus many other changes less visible to the user. Petri-foo is not well tested at all. Part of the purpose of this release is to hopefully find users to test Petri-Foo and to report bugs and other problems, and ideas for continued development. More information for those interested can be found on the Petri-Foo homepage. The Petri-Foo homepage can be visited at: http://petri-foo.sourceforge.net/index.html Cheers, James.
