This is a very belated post but I guess it's better late then never. Now that version 2.0.1 has been out for a while and the worst of the bugs have been fixed I just wanted to thank all the people who have updated to version 2. I really appreciate your generosity in a time that is tough for most people and when a lot of people have been out of work for a while. I especially want thank to those few people who donated directly to me through PayPal even before version 2 was released! I didn't get the opportunity to personally thank all those people since I didn't have their contact info, only aliases. You know who you are and so I hope you read this and accept my thanks for your generous donations.
Back when I started working on the Solaris John told me that the most requested feature was multi-timbral capability. So it was decided that would be done. But I didn't feel that the existing code as it was originally designed could be made multi-timbral. Also, I had the goal of making the code more modular and more maintainable for the future because it was clear that John saw the Solaris as an ongoing project. So I ended up rewriting most of the non-audio part of Solaris over the three years or whatever it was. I guess my point is to let you know that there's a bit more to the update than the visible changes. Hopefully it will make some of the future work easier. (And just to reiterate from the original post, the PhaseMod/PhaseDistortion oscillator was developed by HrastProgrammer who is also the creator of the Transistow synthesizer.)
That's it for now, thanks again!
