It had been version 1.0.16, typical eh :(
However I have now included the debian squeeze repository and upgraded
just this and nothing else - I am really flying by the seat of my pants
here !!!
Everything now compiles fine, and it certainly looks a lot cleaner.
I'll give it a good workout over the weekend and see how it goes :)
I am relieved. One of my small points of pride was eliminating pretty much
all of the multitude of #ifdef's in the original code, so I was really hoping
not to have to put one in around the alsa version. One thing I will do though
is have CMake check for alsa>=1.0.17.
There's a couple of subtle performance refinements in 055, so I do look
forward to hearing how you go with it.
cheers!
Right. I've given this a fairly good workout. Using my most aggressive
patch (Hyper Matrix) and playing chords as 4 note arpegios it starts to
break up at around 70% CPU (difficult to tell with 2 cores).
As a comparison...
Yoshi .038 60%
Zyn 2.2 50%
Zyn 2.4 40-45%
Zyn git nio 65-70%
As a final check I did a sound comparison between Zyn 2.2 and
Yoshi .055
With 'Sad Angel' I had the distinct impression Yoshi had greater
clarity. In this composition there are several instruments with a lot
of HF content. One oddity was that 'Ocarina' was quite a bit louder and
gave a greater dynamic range (it's an AddSynth voice).
With 'Lair Of The Dragon King' the sound was as far as I can tell
identical - there would have been much unhappiness if 'Overdrive' had
sounded wrong :)
Something I've just noticed.
If you load a patch set at startup (with the -l option) this is not
remembered in 'recent parameters'
Hmmm.
{thinks - wonder if I can push the boat out a bit more}
It would be quite nice if it was possible to drag-and-drop parameter
sets and individual voice patches on to an existing instance of Yoshi :)
All in all, very good work and I'm very pleased with it. Thanks muchly!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
