Giada 0.12.2 "Flatland" released

June 04, 2016 ―

Giada 0.12.2, codename "Flatland" is ready for your machine. With this version we introduced quite a few inner changes:

  • Upgrade RtAudio to version 4.1.2 ― thanks to this change we can provide WASAPI support on Windows. We also simplified a lot the inclusion of RtAudio dependency when compiling Giada from source code;

  • plugin management improvements ― you can now sort the plugin list by name, manufacturer and type; the plugin window's size and position are finally stored properly in the configuration file;

  • nasty crashes on OS X El Capitan fixed;

  • minor code cleanups.

A big hug to all the people who helped with the bug hunting on OS X. Get ready for lots of new amazing breakdowns with the WASAPI thing :)

Giada 0.12.1 "Permutations"

May 06, 2016 ―

Today we released Giada 0.12.1, codename Permutations. In mathematics, the notion of permutation relates to the act of arranging all the members of a set into some sequence or order. This time we focused almost exclusively on audio plugin management, with useful features like the percentage progress for plugin scan and notifications for missing/unknown VSTs. We would also like to thank everyone who reported nasty crashes on OS X El Capitan: an investigation is underway!

New tutorial #2 remake: happy looping

April 01, 2016 ―

Today our digital friend Richard released another great remake of the original tutorial series. This time he will introduce us to the world of looping, how the main sequencers works and what we can do with it.

New release: Giada 0.12.0

March 07, 2016 ―

Today we released Giada 0.12.0, codename Resilience. This version brings big under-the-hood changes: the whole audio plugin layer has been ported to JUCE framework. This internal improvement gives us a more stable and professional VST plugin support, with many other formats available in the near future (VST3, AU, LADSPA). Isn't it great? In Giada 0.12.0 you will also find:

  • 64-bit binaries for OS X (and discontinued support for 32-bit ones);

  • overall GUI beautification;

  • improved test suite;

  • lots of minor cleanups and fixes.

Changes were quite substantial this time, so expect some bugs here and there. Feel free to report any weirdness!

What's going on with Giada 0.12.x?

February 19, 2016 ―

Development on 0.12 branch is going on swiftly: we are porting the whole plugin/VST layer to Juce framework. Meanwhile, technicians at Monocasual Laboratories have leaked a highly-sensitive screenshot that shows the current stage of development. You can clearly see the list of available plugins, various information and the ability to add them to some kind of plugin stack. It definitely looks promising. We are all looking forward to see it live and running!

Giada 0.11.2 Pareto principle released

January 15, 2016 ―

A new awesome release of Giada, codename Pareto principle is ready for your hardware. The Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. What's new in this version:

  • Support for JSON-based midimap files;
  • Add new channel by right-clicking anywhere on a column;
  • Fixes for many compilation warnings on GCC 5.3 (and LLVM as well);
  • Fix for a nasty bug that prevented MIDI Jack from being selected on Linux.

The old-school midimap files are now deprecated, but still supported — not for long, though! Giada 0.11.2 Pareto principle also marks the end of the 0.11 series. Expect some exciting news from the future, such as porting to JUCE framework: VST3 and OSC support and many other delicacies.

December 01, 2015 ―

Today we are proud to celebrate the new release 0.11.0, codename Self-similarity. Self-similarity is an important property of fractal objects. This version features lots of under-the-hood improvements:

  • ability to save and restore column widths;
  • more code reorganization and cleanups;
  • lots of bugs fixed.

Of course Giada can still work with the old patch system, but being it deprecated it will be removed sooner or later. So please convert your patches to the new JSON format: you just need to save them over again.

Giada 0.9.6 Flammarion engraving released

May 10, 2015 ―
