[Synthforge-list] SynthForge 0.2 released

[Damon C. <da...@ka...>]

Hi,

I've put SynthForge 0.2 up at:

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/synthforge/

There have been quite a few changes, and a few bug fixes. It's still
alpha quality though, so don't rely on it too much.

Let me know of any problems (or if that FM plugin crash is fixed!)


SynthForge 0.2 (Jul 25 2009)
==============

 o Can now play 2 octaves on the computer keyboard, q-i and z-,
 o Added support for putting voices to sleep when the envelope ends.
   Hopefully this will cut down on CPU usage a lot.
 o Moved unison functionality into separate modules, for better
   performance. It allows you to use unison for as few modules as
   possible, and also to use unison for some oscillators and not others.
 o Changed the MIDI In and Envelope module ports to use Gate ports.
   A special Gate value of -1 means that the note is about to be stolen,
   and the envelope should ramp down the amplitude to avoid a click.
   The MIDI In also has an amplitude output which is the note on
   velocity converted to decibels, from -20dBFS to 0dBFS.
 o Better indication of selected modules & controls, and code to stop
   accidentally moving modules slightly when selecting them.
 o Fixed problems selecting the preset manager control.
 o Made it easier to use frames, by keeping track of their children.
 o Added call to g_thread_init() to try to avoid odd occasional crashes.
