We are happy to release Surge XT 1.0 today. | |
Surge XT 1.0 is available at https://surge-synthesizer.github.io. It installs with a new plugin ID ("Surge XT") side by side | |
with our version from April 2021, Surge 1.9. | |
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 the highlights are: | |
- 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 | |
- We have expanded the power of the modulation section, introducing vector modulators and a 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 fixed innumerable bugs and added many many UI features, including more use of drag and drop, windows which can | |
tear out, and keybindings | |
- 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 | |
We hope you enjoy the release! As always, we are sure there are bugs and there will be future versions. We already have a 1.1 | |
list! If you find something, please hit us up on Discord or GitHub (both linked from the about page in the synth), and enjoy | |
making music with Surge! |
