Announcing the latest release of Xsynth-DSSI, version 0.9.0.
New features since the last general release include:
* Anti-aliased, hard-sync-capable, minBLEP-based
oscillators, including a new variable-slope triangle
mode. (LADSPA versions of these oscillators are in
the works.)
* Velocity sensitive envelopes.
* An additional filter mode: Fons Adriaensen's MVCLPF-3.
* Much improved (but still plain-looking ;-) GUI, now using
GTK+ 2.x.
* Polyphonic glide, tuning, and pitch bend range controls.
* Updated patch set, and better documentation.

About Xsynth-DSSI
=================
Xsynth-DSSI is a classic-analog (VCOs-VCF-VCA) style software
synthesizer which operates as a plugin for the Disposable Soft
Synth Interface (DSSI). DSSI is a plugin API for software
instruments (soft synths) with user interfaces, permitting them
to be hosted in-process by Linux audio applications. More
information on DSSI can be found at:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
Xsynth-DSSI is written by Sean Bolton, and copyright (c)2004
under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.
Xsynth-DSSI retains the basic synthesis model of Steve Brooke's
Xsynth 1.0.2, while adding the following features:
- operation as a DSSI plugin,
- polyphonic operation,
- band-limited oscillators,
- a new, more stable filter mode, and
- velocity-sensitive envelopes.
