hello everyone, a new release of BEAST/BSE is available at: ftp://beast.gtk.org/pub/beast/v0.3 new screenshots, changelogs, etc are available at: http://beast.gtk.org plenty of work has been put into this new version, so BEAST is coming closer to ALPHA stage ;) the highlights of this release include new synthesizer modules submitted by David A. Bartold and major GUI improvements. though we have received a few icons so far, BEAST's GUI is still in desperate lack of various icon submisisons. if the placholder icons [?] annoy you enough, sit down, or get one of your firends to sit down, and create some decent icons. submissions are greatly apprechiated. for the more adventurous ones, BEAST also lacks a decent logo. so if anyone feels like drawing up a cool BEAST with BSE (having some musical tendencies), that may earn you an email alias at gtk.org, magnificent fame and of course immense personal satisfaction ;) (plus a couple of beers if you come around to GUADEC ;) Overview of Changes in BEAST/BSE 0.3.2: * Songs have a pattern play list now that can be altered * Major overhaul of the mixing engine which is now agressively optimized and contains all necessary means for effect implementations * Synthesis tools palette for the synthesis network router and many other GUI improvements * Enabled procedure support for the pattern editor to supply spreadsheet like editing facilities * New synthesis modules: BseMixer - mix 4->1 channels with adjustable volumes DavOrgan - a modifiable Additive Organ Synthesizer DavSynDrum - a synthesized drum generator DavCanyonDelay - adds deep, long delay echo effects DavBassFilter - TB-303 low-pass resonant filter clone * Pattern editor keytable display * Simple sample views for samples used in a project * More test files in the test/ subdirectory ;) * Vast amounts of code cleanups and bug fixes ;) [META: this is the last announcement sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; those who want to stay informed about new releases, subscribe yourself to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]] --- ciaoTJ -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
