A Puff Piece

Post by folderol »

Today marks exactly ten years since the first commit I made to Yoshimi after having been plonked in the hot seat, having virtually been told to sit there by a certain Mr J.B. I said at the time I'll try to keep it going until someone comes along who knows what they're doing.

Well, while I've been waiting, it seems a small but very good little band of helpers has formed, and to mix metaphors, what was once a somewhat creaky cargo ship has transformed into a smart cruiser, and we're far from finished yet!

So, this is not about me, it's a shout for everyone that's helped get us where we are now, including those who simply report problems and speeling eras :P right down to those who simply use Yoshimi.

Congratulations and a big thank you for carrying the torch for this great program!! I greatly appreciate it! 🙂

Congratulations for these ten years !

I take the opportunity to also thank you and all the Yoshimi team across the years (so also ZynAddSubFX :) ) to have created what is simply today my favorite synthesizer. A wonderful project, a really good documentation, a focus on accessibility which is so rare; entire songs and albums made with it...just thank you !

Thanks for the great work to you and all others involved :) Yoshimi is one of my favourite synths to use.
