OctaSine (FM synth plugin) v0.8.5 released, with square, triangle and sawtooth waveforms & bug fixes

51 points even-greater-ape

I've released v0.8.5 of OctaSine, a free and open source frequency modulation synth plugin (source code) supporting VST2 and CLAP formats.

The most notable new feature is the addition of new operator waveforms, namely square, triangle and sawtooth ones, enabling more flexibility in sound creation. There is also a fix for crashes when clearing banks/patches on Windows.

In the previous release, which came out a few days before this one, I got the GUI to run in Bitwig on Windows. It unfortunately doesn't yet work on macOS. I also implemented a new patch format which has better support for compatibility transformations and the clap state extension. Patches created with previous versions are automatically converted when opened.

In related news, it is the featured synth of this month's KVR Audio One Synth Challenge!
