Name        : phasex
Product     : Fedora 12

Release     : 0.2.pre1.fc12

Summary     : PHASEX -- Phase Harmonic Advanced Synthesis EXperiment
Description :
PHASEX is an experimental JACK audio / ALSA MIDI softsynth for Linux
with a synth engine built around flexible phase modulation and
flexible oscillator/LFO sourcing.  Modulations include AM, FM, offset
PM, and wave select.  PHASEX comes equipped with a 12db/octave filter
with two distortion curves, a stereo crossover delay and chorus with
phaser, ADSR envelopes for amplifier and filter, realtime audio input
processing capabilities, and more.

Update Information:

The new phasex pre-release includes tons of fixes and a few new goodies. This
pre-release is rock solid, can run in multiple instances, and survives JACK
restarts. Velocity and aftertouch sensitivity are now fully supported. Sound
quality and clarity has much improved (now with fine tuning for oscs and fm,
super-clean envelopes and chorus, super-smooth pitch bender, and better behavior
for mono modes). Sampled oscillators have been added, currently with Juno-106
and vocal waveform samples (I'm still looking for vintage Moog and TB-303
samples that can be chopped down to a single oscillation and GPL'ed). The GUI
now includes two switchable GTK themes, a true fullscreen mode, and user
selectable fonts, allowing phasex to sit comfortably on any desktop 800x600 or
larger. The licensing has been clarified to remove any grey areas concerning the
freedom to use and redistribute phasex (code and samples are GPLv2, patches are
public domain, and audio output is not considered derivative work). This beta is
aimed at developers, distribution maintainers, and anyone who just can't wait
any longer for the new version.
