Cardinal 22.09 released
On 2022-09-20 by falkTX
Greetings everyone, we have yet another release of Cardinal,
with a good set of bugfixes and a few nice to have features.
Cardinal
is a free and open-source virtual modular synthesizer plugin.
It is based on the popular VCV Rack
but with a focus on being a fully self-contained plugin version.
The main changes for this release, besides the fixes, are a dark vs light mode switch, CardinalNative build, finishing VST3 support and an initial CLAP version.
There are a couple of new module collections and updates to existing ones too.
Changelog
- Add CardinalNative standalone build (uses native audio from the system instead of JACK)
- Add CLAP plugin version (fx and synth variants only, for now)
- Add dark mode switch in View menu, enabled by default
- Add readme and license to zip/tar releases
- Add linux-riscv64 build
- Add -Wno-format-security to build flags
- Fix AU plugin crash when host does not provide time signature (x64 auval)
- Fix AU plugin not updating for buffer-size and sample-rate changes
- Fix VST2 crash when removing 1 of many similar instances
- Fix VST2 and VST3 initial UI size in some hosts
- Fix VST3 remaining issues and mark it as stable (only CV ports need attention, but no Host/DAW that I know implements these)
- Fix memory corruption and leaks when loading and removing modules
- Fix Bidoo not saving non-parameter data
- Fix Bidoo limonade crashing when canceling its save dialog
- Fix Ildaeil log sliders, allow mono input plugins
- Fix/remove stray Carla module from "DRMR - Interverb.vcv" example patch
- Split main variant audio IO in 4 stereo groups
