Psycle v1.10 Released
Version 1.10.0 of
Psycle
is now available. This release comes two years after 1.8.6.1 and four years
after 1.8.5, which was the last big release.
These are the most important changes in this release:
-
32-bits and 64-bits compiles.
-
Better audio (Wasapi support, 24- and 32-bits support for waveout and
directsound) and better MIDI (synchronized mode works with all drivers and
immediate mode is able to send commands to multiple machines, not just the
selected one).
-
Plug-ins and application working correctly or much better at different
sampling rates than 44Khz.
-
Multi-threaded audio engine.
-
Settings system redone. They can be saved to other places than the
windows registry and is easier to have a portable version now.
-
Many small additions, new skin, improvements in most of the dialogs and
lots of corrections.
Psycle is a free, Open-Source, music creation program that
offers an easy way to create your own music, fast, and with high quality.
Psycle uses a classical tracker interface (a text grid of notes which are
sequenced one after the other), coupled with modularity (plugins) that allow
to extend the sounds that you get from it.
It supports three ways to get sound: its own native format, the VST Plugin
standard, and recorded.wav samples using the sampler machine.
Notes are entered in patterns, where you can also use commands (plugin
specific, or global), as well as automating parameters via the mcm and twk
commands. These patterns are then organized in a linear sequence, which
becomes the song order.
Main features:
-
A 64 Tracks Pattern Editor, with up to 1024 lines.
-
256 sequence positions.
-
Audio Routing (machine) view to interconnect the virtual machines in
order to apply different effects.
-
Internal Stereo Sampler unit which supports.wav and.iff files of any
sampling rate, 8/16 and 24bits, mono or stereo.
-
70+ Native Plugins (generators & effects), most of them open-source and
with an easy to use API to create new ones.
-
Support for VST1 and VST2 plugin standard.
-
Imports.xm,.s3m,.it,.mod.
-
Exporting to wav, as well as recording realtime to.wav.
-
Configurable Keyboard Layout.
-
MIDI-In Support (control Psycle using a MIDI keyboard, or even a
software sequencer).
-
Themes and skins support and much more.
