Change log

WARNING: to get the source version

  • be sure to download the faust-2.85.9.tar.gz file to get a complete source folder (in particular, with all the libraries).
  • on macOS, binary files are still to notarise, you may have to use the xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine file command to remove the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute. See the xattr man page for details on how to use that tool. MacOS Monterey is now the minimal version.

New

  • Add spcap.dsp example.
  • architecture/rust: register N×M JACK ports based on DSP channel count.

Deprecated

Fixed bugs

  • Fix division by zero in uiNumEntry when step is 0.
  • Changed types on inputs and outputs to compute! from overly constrained Matrix to the more useable AbstractMatrix.
  • Correct faustmini/faustmaxi prototypes.
  • Rework JACK and PortAudio Rust architectures.

Libraries

  • Add spcap et spcap_ui in spats.lib.

Fasttracker II clone for Windows/macOS/Linux

Updated: 01 Jul, 2026
  • Sinc interpolation now uses up 74kB RAM instead of 2.4MB and thus is less hard on the CPU cache. In some cases this means even faster rendering. The way this change works is that the polyphase look-up tables now use 256 phases/branches instead of 8192, coupled with linear interpolation between the phases when in use. This method is equal to having many more pre-computed phases than 8192, which in theory also means better precision.
  • Cubic spline interpolation now doesn't use a look-up table. Again, this is less hard on the CPU cache.
  • (Hopefully) fixed "Alt Gr" key not working on some systems
  • "About" screen rendering has been optimized (big whoop)

Jamulus enables real-time jam sessions over the internet.

Symphonia is a pure Rust audio decoding and media demuxing library

Updated: 15 May, 2026

Welcome to Symphonia 0.6! 👋

Symphonia 0.6 is the culmination of two years of effort to rework Symphonia from an audio-focused multimedia framework to one that can be extended to support video and subtitles as well. While Symphonia does not yet support video and subtitle decoders, the groundwork laid in this release should allow easier prototyping of those features, and to more seamlessly introduce them in the future. As such there are significant breaking changes present in this release for existing users.

See the migration guide for detailed information on how to move to Symphonia 0.6.0.

New Features

  • Format readers and decoders may now be registered with a preference tier/priority
  • Format and metadata readers now provide methods to get information about themselves
  • Format readers can now expose attachments (e.g., attached fonts)
  • Decoders can now decode from non-owning packets, eliminating a copy if using a non-Symphonia demuxer
  • ID3v1, APEv1, and APEv2 metadata formats are now supported
  • Added support for chapters for Matroska, ID3v2, and Vorbis Comments
  • Added support for Matroska metadata
  • Image format and parameter detection for visuals
  • Metadata tags that have an official or defacto meaning are parsed where possible (e.g., a track number tag is parsed into an u64

FIX

  • Fixed BBF (bars.beats.fraction) time unit handling so fractional input is interpreted as decimal beat digits and normalized on apply to REAPER-style two-digit hundredths in both position and duration editors (for example, 1.1.5 becomes 1.1.50 and 1.1.349 becomes 1.1.35).

[2.10.0] - 2026-04-28

NEW

  • Added interactive spacer panels between layer groups with add-above/add-below actions and popup options to move groups up or down.

  • Added cross-group layer selection and deletion support for audio and pattern layer panels, including coordinated shift-click selection and cleanup of empty groups.

  • User-Defined Opcodes and Effects now support Csound 7 modern syntax alongside classic syntax:

    • UDOs and Effects have an explicit Classic/Modern style selector

PraxisLIVE is a hybrid visual live programming IDE, rethinking general purpose and creative coding.

Updated: 08 Apr, 2026

This is the seventh release of PraxisLIVE and PraxisCORE v6.x. It brings a few new features, includes third-party updates, and fixes some issues.

The cross-platform zip is downloadable below. Installers built from this zip are now distributed at https://github.com/codelerity/praxislive-installers/releases

Changes

PraxisCORE runtime

  • Added ValueMapper for record types. Any record made of mappable types (including other records) can be used as property values and function arguments. Records are mapped to PMap, which now supports a limited schema in argument info.
  • Added validating mappers, and enhanced functions to support use of @Type.* annotations on parameters.
  • Improved threading control when using @Driver to control custom roots. This includes ability to disable background polling or provide custom on-receipt handling (eg. map to EventQueue). Added markForStop to shut down the root, handling all clean-up before handing control back to the calling library.
  • Added Async.MapQueue for handling Async completion where a reference to another object, including another Async, is necessary.
  • Fixed issue with Data.Sink packets not being correctly disposed, and added manual control to flush all caches.
  • The default task service now uses virtual threads.
  • Allow @ command to continue when component exists when running under --trap-errors. The component type is checked

    This modifies the project file format.
  • Context menu to save soundfont program as library patch when right-clicking
    on soundfont program in the library bottom list.
  • Line numbers in script editor.

Changes

  • Allow program changes by default in MIDI filter for new MIDI out port layers.
    (Remains off by default for Soundfont and SFZ layers.)

OpenMPT is a popular tracker software for Windows

Updated: 02 Apr, 2026

This small update to OpenMPT 1.32 is mostly a bugfix release.

We found that OpenMPT 1.32.07.00 and 1.32.08.00 were compiled with versions of Visual Studio that contained a code generation bug, and it is known that this resulted in at least one way to crash OpenMPT (through playing notes in a VST plugin editor). We cannot rule out that other parts of OpenMPT are affected in one way or another, so we strongly encourage you to upgrade immediately, to avoid any data loss. No, this is not an April Fool's prank.

Besides addressing this regression, a few other minor issues were fixed as well:

  • Fixed disappearing spin buttons in the main toolbar when locking the screen or invoking a UAC prompt.
  • The PPQ position reported to plugins was not updated if a module tick spanned multiple VST processing calls.
  • The MIDI I/O Plugin sometimes sent multiple duplicate Song Position Pointer messages.

For a complete list of changes, have a look at the full version history. If you are upgrading from OpenMPT 1.31 or older, read the release notes to get a glimpse of the biggest changes.

Use 2-point cosine interpolation for scopes instead of 4-point cubic B-spline. This is favorable as it doesn't lower the waveform amplitude for samples containing very high frequency data. The whole point of interpolating the scopes is to prevent the staircase effect at very low pitches, and this does the job.

OpenMPT is a popular tracker software for Windows

Updated: 24 Mar, 2026

This is a regression update to the most recent OpenMPT 1.32 release to address a single bug.

OpenMPT 1.32.07.00 contained a fix for a crash in the sample mixer, which unfortunately also caused the duration of some sample loops to be altered during playback. This was most notable in MOD files, where chip samples could suddenly be out of tune.

OpenMPT 1.32.08.00 addresses this regression, keeping chip samples in tune while also avoiding the crash found in previous versions.

For more news, read the OpenMPT 1.32.07.00 announcement, which has been released just two days ago.

libopenmpt has also been updated with the same regression bugfix.

Updated: 24 Mar, 2026

This small update to OpenMPT 1.32 is mostly a bugfix release.

Here's a list of the most notable changes in this version:

  • Plugin editors can now receive SysEx messages from OpenMPT's MIDI recording.
  • Choosing "Copy Pattern" from the order list context menu always copied the currently displayed pattern, not the one on which the context menu was invoked.
  • Work around apparently broken channel negotiation in MaxSynths DR-910 plugin.
  • Small playback fixes for MOD and ULT files.
  • On recent versions of Windows 11, MIDI recording stopped working after receiving a SysEx message.
  • MIDI export from MOD or S3M did not correctly export implicit note-offs when playing a new note on the same channel.
  • The instrument note map category was missing in keyboard settings.

This small update to OpenMPT 1.32 is mostly a bugfix release.

Here's a list of the most notable changes in this version:

  • Fixed a crash when saving IT / MPTM files and shutting down OpenMPT on Wine 10.20 and potentially Wine 11.1.
  • Shift-clicking the sample loop start / end spin buttons now moves the loop points finely, instead of snapping to the next self-similar point.
  • Some MODs with samples larger than 64k inside PT36 containers were not read correctly.
  • Exporting the same module multiple times (or exporting individual instruments / channels) could lead to files differing in length by one sample when using modern tempo mode.
  • MIDI Export: Choosing the percussion channel for an instrument and then keeping "Mapped" mode selected and never manually touching the dropdown menu resulted in wrong MIDI percussion notes to be exported.

Updated: 24 Mar, 2026

This small update to OpenMPT 1.32 is mostly a bugfix release.

Here's a list of the most notable changes in this version:

  • Added option to slice a sample at grid points instead of cue points, including a new keyboard shortcut.
  • Since OpenMPT 1.31.14.00, fine adjustment of sustain loop start / end was broken.
  • Automatically hiding the volume column didn't work for newly-created MODs.
  • Since OpenMPT 1.31, having both "Contiunous scroll" and "Cursor wrap in pattern editor" disabled, jumping by beat or measure no longer jumped to the first or last row of the pattern and instead stayed on the current row if it was close to the start / end than a beat / measure.
  • Transposing a selection didn't refresh the (potentially changed) default volume display if the selection of the last channel didn't contain the volume column.

  • Fixed filter handling of IT effect S7B (disable pitch / filter envelope) when it is applied at the same time as a note is played.
  • It was possible that OpenMPT could crash when stopping playback of a module when using bridged plugins in combination with certain ASIO drivers.
  • Quick Start Dialog: Collapsed status of item groups is now memorized.

  • To improve accessibility, keyboard focus is now only returned to the lower editor views if the last input method before an interaction in the upper view was done through the mouse. If the last interaction was through the keyboard instead, the keyboard focus remains there.
  • Wine Integration is no longer offered on Wine 10.11 due to a Wine bug breaking it.
  • Since OpenMPT 1.32.01.00, swapping between samples on the rear channels could introduce a click on the front channels.
  • IT volume column slides no longer propagate their effect memory to the regular effect column volume slides.
  • Some malformed Future Composer modules are no longer rejected.

For a complete list of changes, have a look at the full version history. If you are upgrading from OpenMPT 1.31 or older, read the release notes to get a glimpse of the biggest changes.

libopenmpt has also been updated with the same bugfixes.

OpenMPT is a popular tracker software for Windows

Updated: 24 Mar, 2026

This first update to OpenMPT 1.32 addresses a few new and old bugs and improves a number of features.

Here's a list of the most notable changes in this version:

  • Since OpenMPT 1.32.01.00, the MIDI input focus remained on the tree view after dragging an instrument to a sample or instrument editor, while keyboard input focus was on the editor.
  • Added keyboard shortcuts for expanding and shrinking patterns.
  • When saving an ITI file, parts of the volume envelope were damaged.
  • Switching between instrument envelopes using keyboard shortcuts didn't update accessible announcements.
  • Previewing a sample, instrument or pattern note after pausing playback in a module using synth instruments continued playing those synth instruments.
  • Inserting / duplicating / moving sequences reset the default tempo and speed for all sequences.
  • Small playback fixes for IT files.
  • S3M: Old ModPlug Tracker versions allowed to use the 28th character of sample names to be used. Such sample names are now displayed correctly again.
  • MED: When triggering a synth note with a Synth Jump command on the same row, the initial speed command was not executed.
  • Small improvements to subsong selection in stream / MIDI / OPL export dialogs.
  • FLAC encoding is now multithreaded for stream

OpenMPT is a popular tracker software for Windows

Updated: 24 Mar, 2026

It's been two years since the initial release of OpenMPT 1.31 and in the meantime we have provided many updates to make it more stable and add a few new features and improve details.

After far too much time has passed, we are now finally ready to present the first release of OpenMPT 1.32. Looking at the big list of changes, we hope that it was worth the wait!

Here is a short summary of the most notable new features:

General improvements include:

  • There is now a quick start "project assistant" view that is shown whenever there is no module loaded.
  • OpenMPT is now fully DPI-aware by default, so it will look crisp and clean on all screen configurations. DPI-awareness can be changed in OpenMPT's Display settings to accommodate for older VST plugin editors that are not DPI-aware.
  • Stream Export and MIDI Export have been updated to allow all sub songs of a module to be exported to separate files, the same way as it was already possible with VGM export.
  • When auto-save is set to save files to a specific folder, this folder is now cleaned regularly and auto-save files older than 30 days are removed

  • Reduced the number of pre-computed interpolation phases from 8192 to 4096 for less pressure on the CPU cache. The audible difference is minimal.
  • Mixer code is no longer unrolled. The speed difference was minimal, and it would cause a ton of extra code bytes for almost no performance gain.

Yoshimi is a software audio synthesizer, originally forked from ZynAddSubFX.

Updated: 20 Dec, 2025

This is another interim release, and it solved the issue of changed behaviour of MXML. We now automatically (and silently) detect which version is running and switch the code for that.

We also know what causes an FLTK crash when running with fltk V4.x and under wayland, a fix is currently being worked on, but in the unlikely event of that being impossible we can revert the offending display element to an older much less attractive one.

This is a minor update that includes several crash fixes as well as improvements to chord symbols, which should prevent them from unintentionally moving in the score.

Also included is an audio export fix, where rests at the start of the score were being skipped.
