Surge XT is now released!

Post by oscillator »

Just saw this:

https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/cha ... index.html

Copied from their release statement:

Surge XT contains a massive number of new features and infrastructural improvements. You can read the full changelog at https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/changelog/ , but here are some highlights:

The entire synth has been ported to the JUCE framework, making for far more reliable plugins and behavior, as well as providing us loads of dev tools for adding cool features in the future.
We have new indexed modulators and finally the new Formula modulator!
We have expanded the FX section, allowing twice as many FX per patch and adding new FX including a Spring Reverb and several new Airwindows.
We have expanded the Waveshapers, going from 5 waveshaper models to nearly 50, and added a new filter model.
We've added patch search and patch favorites to the patch browser.
We've added loads of microtuning features, including an extensive tuning editor and analyzer.
We've added a modulation list which lets you navigate and modify the entire modulation list in one view.
We've added masses of amazing new patches using the new features. These are all in the "third party" section. These new contributions push Surge to spaces we never thought possible, with some amazing electronic pads, physically modeled real instruments, and more. We really encourage you to spend some time in those third party presets.
And finally, we made the entire UI accessible to screen readers and other accessible tools for near-complete accessible navigation and editing.

MusE DAW running on Debian 11 Testing/XFCE4.

Couple of the presets seriously use up the dsp load (Databroth>Sequences>City Windows is the worst I've found). Way more than other presets that are mostly around 10% mark. Also be careful with the volume variability of some of the third party patches. Other than that, looking and sounding really good at first glance.
