All parameters files are compressed with gzip algorithm. 308 - Some parameters has changed and you might encounter different sounds that you saved in the older versions of zynaddsubfx 309 - The instrument banks are no longer single files, but directories that contains instrument .XIZ files (you can organize them even with a file manager). Also, you can use more than 1 banks easily. 310 - Added a new effect called DynamicFilter that allows you to do WahWah,AutoWah, VocalMorpher and other effects 311 - Speedups 312 - Started to write a small sequencer that allows to load and play a midi file from zynaddsubfx (unfinished) 313 - ZynAddSubFX is available from CVS, too. Please look at the sourceforge project page to get more information ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/zynaddsubfx ) 314 - The waveform generator (OscilGen) has many new parameters :) also if you press the "Shift" key, you can draw the hamonics amplitude/phases 315 - Many user interface improvements 316 - You can load a file at the start of the program with "-l" command-line parameter and you can run zynaddsubfx w/o user interface with "-U" 317 - It is possible to dump all MIDI notes into a text file 318 - The instruments can contain comments and copyright information in order to encourage sharing of them 319 - FFT3W library is supported 320 - More "randomness" options 321 - Other impovements 322 - Many, many bugfixes 323 - Added the full changelog (since I started to write zynaddsubfx), most is in Romanian 324 - Other things 325 326 1.4.3 (31 Aug 2003) 327 - added state variable filters and other types to analog filters 328 - small user interface improvememnts 329 - small bugfixes 330 331 1.4.2 (17 Iul 2003) 332 - added full-featured, advanced formantic filters 333 - added mixer panel which lets you to see/change most important part settings, and shows a vu-meters for each part 334 - 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) 335 - enabled to launch more instances in Jack 336 - 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) 337 - bugfixes 338 339 1.4.1 (8 May 2003) 340 - added single mode to the instrument kit who allows only one item to be played same time 341 - added "Spectrum Adjust" to the ADsynth oscillator 342 - added "drum mode" to the instrument, where all midi keys are mapped to 12tET 343 - added a parameter to the "440Hz" which make the freq to varies a bit according to the key pressed (very usefull to toms and other drums) 344 - (for OSS audio out) if it is launched with root privileges, the synth will gain realtime scheduling priority 345 - bugfixes 346 347 1.4.0 (15 Apr 2003) 348 - added instrument's own effect (effects that are loaded/saved with the instrument) 349 - FreeMode Envelopes: all Envelopes can have any shape (not only ADSR) 350 - Added instrument kits: It is possible to use more than one instruments into one part (used for layered synths or drum kits) 351 - Amplitude envelopes can be linear or logarithmic 352 - added interpolation on the Resonance user interface 353 - user interface improvements and cleanups of it's code 354 - initiated a mailing list to allow users to share patches for ZynAddSubFX.
