This is the 1.0.2 release of hexter.
hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank files, edit those patches via a built-in editor or MIDI sys-ex messages, and recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any previous open-source emulation (that the author is aware of...) hexter operates as a plugin for the DSSI Soft Synth Interface.
Release 1.0.2 adds significant capability to hexter over the 0.6.2 release, including:
- An integrated patch editor (finally!)
- The option to use floating-point math in the synthesis code instead of fixed point. (Careful, you may be surprised which is faster on your particular platform.)
- Performance optimizations.
- Better patch bank loading, thanks to Martin Tarenskeen.
- MIDI non-registered parameter (NRPN) support, thanks to Jamie Bullock.
- A fix for a linking error in hexter 1.0.0.
- A fix for the GUI getting stuck disabled in previous hexter 1.0.x versions.
