BEAST/BSE 0.3.2 Released

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.

Although 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 friends 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), it could 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:

  • DavSynDrum - a synthesized drum generator
  • DavCanyonDelay - adds deep, long delay echo effects
  • DavBassFilter - TB-303 low-pass resonant filter clone
