These are the release notes for Strudel 0.9.0 aka "Bananenbrot"! The last release was over 11 weeks ago, so a lot of things have happened! Let me write up some of the highlights: Improved Synth Engine The synth engine has gotten a lot of love + a name: superdough encapsulates the web audio based synth / sampler / fx engine into a reusable package, which is already used by Topos. Main new features include: filter envelopes FM Synthesis looping samples, allowing wavetable synthesis vibrato an integration of ZZFX https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/assets/12023032/652e7042-f296-496b-95cd-b2a4987fe238 Related PRs: superdough: encapsulates web audio output by @felixroos in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/664 basic fm by @felixroos in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/669 Wave Selection and Global Envelope on the FM Synth Modulator by @Bubobubobubobubo in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/683 control osc partial count with n by @felixroos in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/674 ZZFX Synth support by @Bubobubobubobubo in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/684 Adding filter envelopes and filter order selection by @Bubobubobubobubo in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/692 Adding loop points and thus wavetable synthesis by @Bubobubobubobubo in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/698 Adding vibrato to base oscillators by @Bubobubobubobubo in https://github.com/tidalcycles/strudel/pull/693 Desktop App Improvements Thanks to @daslyfe and @vasilymilovidov , the desktop app now has its own rust based MIDI and OSC integrations, which do not depend on browser APIs!
