Bananenbrot
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
