0.3.224 Apr 2017 13:57 major feature: A new unison effect is available. Two new instruments, pan-flute and synth-saw were added. Operator folding and a scrollbar were added to the UI to deal with limited screen space. A crash in the VST plugin was fixed, other minor fixes were.

0.3.119 Sep 2016 18:52 major feature: The main change for this release is that plugins for LV2 and VST api were added, allowing integration of SpectMorph sounds into many sequencers/hosts. New instruments were added: bassoon, cello, bass-trombone, reed-organ. Easy to use templates make different morphing plans more accessible. Instruments are now expected to be stored in /.spectmorph directory which eliminates explicit loading in almost any case. Resize MorphPlanWindow automatically if operators are removed. Changed time alignment during morphing: morphed sounds should start at the beginning of the note (no extra latency). Some improvements for building new instruments were made. Various bugfixes.
