Title: Aaaand he's back- Yet again !
Post by: folderol on August 25, 2014, 07:36:50 PM
We now have Yoshimi V 1.2.3 - I love that number :)

It's faster:
Has better compatibility with Zyn:
Has some usability enhancements:
Introduces 'naturalising', a small, configurable, per part random pitch shift:

Yoshimi's home page is:

Congratulations, Will! :-

In the course of working with electric guitar and bass, digital recording, mixing and mastering, and now digital video... I've missed out on exploring the possibilities of open-source digital synthesis software. Seems a shame, with all its potential, but I can certainly enjoy other people's endeavours in the field. Vicariously, if you will... ;D

Your comments are always appreciated, and I know only too well there is a limit to how many things you can realistically get involved with!

Well it couldn't stay as it was could it?

V 1.2.4 is there now, with yet more goodies, and a very nice improvement to the VU metering (even if I do say so myself)

It's right here (http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi)  ;D

Seems everyone is very happy with the new developments...  :-
Which are you: abrolag, autostatic, or hihone?  :D

I'm abrolag. hihone was Cal who made the fork from Zyn, and did a huge amount of work before we lost him. autostatic is Jeremy who acted as a maintainer for a couple of years, but has now moved on to other things.

I just thought you might like to know we are now up to version 1.3.1  ;D

A new developer has come on board and has now made Yoshimi capable of running as an LV2 plugin (rather like a Linux version of VSTi). I also have another experienced programmer, bringing in occasional ideas and bug hunting. This has left me freer to pursue usability and presentation improvements. All of which has moved Yoshimi up several gears!
