News:
- made to work with mxml-2.2 (will NOT work on older versions)
- it is possible to remove completely the graphical user interface (e.g. it can run without
X). For this you need to modify the DISABLE_GUI option from the Makefile.inc
- added a commandline -L which load a instrument (.xiz) - now it only loads to part 0 (you
can use this option with -l to load a master file and after this the option -L to replace the part)... read more

- the VST version of ZynAddSubFX is removed from the instalation until it will be more stable (hope soon :) )
- now, the instrument banks contains over 300 high quality instruments
- added "Apply" a button from OscilGen window for PADsynth
- added another parameter to ADsynth that controls the amount of all detunes of voices
- adaptive harmonics postprocess
- improved the VU-meter and added a RMS plot
- Dvorak support for Virtual Keyboard
- many bugs fixed and code cleanups

- Added a installer for windows (thanks to NSIS installer ( http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ ) ). Both VST and standalone vesions are contained in the same installer.
- Added a new user interface for beginners. You can switch the current user interface with that anytime do you want.
- All parts, effects, etc. are counted from '1' and not from '0'
- Added the posibility to compile the OSS and JACK support in the same binary (look in the Makefile.inc)
- VST host should be able to save all zynaddsubfx parameters into their setups (this is untested)
- Bugfixes and other

News: - VST version works (there are some issues/bugs but it works)
- Added a advanced Clipboard and Preset module - now is possible to add user preset LFOs,Envelopes, Effects, Oscillators, Resonances, Filters, etc.

- Impoved the PADsynth module
- Because the PADsynth module takes a time to load, the instrument that contains such modules are shown in different colors
- Bugfixes
- Other
Unsolved bugs:1) Sometimes when working with banks it crash - don't know why - I tested even with valgrind and I couldn't find out where is the problem (a double delete??)
2) If the same directory is selected twice on bank roots or preset dir., the same files are shown twice and bad things can happen - I must solve this by comparing the directories (they can me relative directories and absolute dirs.)... read more

News:
- many bugfixes and some small improvements
- Win32 port

I released a prerelease version to zynaddsubfx 2.0.0

ZynAddSubFX is now on cvs.
Checkout with this:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/zynaddsubfx checkout zynaddsubfx

- 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

- added instrument's own effect (effects that are loaded/saved with the instrument)
- FreeMode Envelopes: all Envelopes can have any shape (not only ADSR)
- Added instrument kits: It is possible to use more than one instruments into one part (used for layered synths or drum kits)
- Amplitude envelopes can be linear or logarithmic
- added interpolation on the Resonance user interface
- user interface improvements and cleanups of it's code
- initiated a mailing list to allow users to share patches for ZynAddSubFX. Please share your ZynAddSubFX patches; look at http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/zynaddsubfx-user for more information about the mailing list.

News:
- improved filter interpolation
- bugfix: wav header is written correctly
- bugfix: NRPN works correctly (eg:the controller was 0x98 instead of 98), now you can controll all effects parametrer realtime via MIDI
- bugfix: pitch bend works OK in windows
- added master fine detune (-64..63 cents)
- it is possible to swap effects or copy them

- improved the OscilGen (harmonic filter, RMS normalisation, etc..)
- improved the recorder (uses the WAV file format and it starts only when a key is pressed)
- added filter interpolation if the frequency is changed very fast (it removes some annoying clicks)
- other improovements, bugfixes, speedups and cleanups of the code

- you can use multiple filter stges in order to make very steep filter rolloffs (eg. 48 dB/octave)
- ADsynth - added noise mode and you can make fixed frequencies; added the "Punch" parameter
