| Psycle is a free, Open-Source, music creation program that offers an easy way to create your own music, fast, and with high quality. Psycle uses a classical tracker interface (a text grid of notes which are sequenced one after the other), coupled with modularity (plugins) that allow to extend the sounds that you get from it. It supports three ways to get sound: its own native format, the VST Plugin standard, and recorded .wav samples using the sampler machine. Notes are entered in patterns, where you can also use commands (plugin specific, or global), as well as automating parameters via the mcm and twk commands. These patterns are then organized in a linear sequence, which becomes the song order. Features: - A 64 Tracks Pattern Editor, with up to 1024 lines.
- 256 sequence positions.
- Audio Routing (machine) view to interconnect the virtual machines in order to apply different effects.
- Internal Stereo Sampler unit which supports .wav and .iff files of any sampling rate, 8/16 and 24bits, mono or stereo.
- 70+ Native Plugins (generators & effects), most of them open-source and with an easy to use API to create new ones.
- Support for VST1 and VST2 plugin standard.
- Imports .xm, .s3m, .it, .mod.
- Exporting to wav, as well as recording realtime to .wav.
- Configurable Keyboard Layout.
- MIDI-In Support (control Psycle using a MIDI keyboard, or even a software sequencer).
- Themes and skins support and much more.
New in v1.8.5 - Finished the re-implementation of the VSTHost. (Internal and UI).
- Extended and finished the Mixer machine. 12ins 12sends/returns, with routing abilities.
- Improved Sampulse partially, can load instruments and be used in a song (Still incomplete).
- Improvements in the new Interpolate Curve Dialog.
- Changes in the Sequencer toolbar. Now it can show names of patterns and change them.
- Improvements in source code (partially from 1.9 alpha).
- Several new native plugins (most developed during the 1.9 alpha period). Total number is now 70.
- Wave In machine that allows input from external sources. Only works with directsound and ASIO for now.
- Sinc interpolation for sampler. Should offer better quality, but it's quite slower.
- "Record to clipboard" added to the Record to Wave dialog box.
- Blocks in patterns can be moved by dragging them, as well as via popup menu (Use Ctrl key for copy).
- Volume, panning and portamento commands for VST's ( volume does channel aftertouch for now ).
- Yannis MIDI native plugin nearly usable now (doesn't sync too well if used in a pattern).
- Fixes in several native plugins (Arguru synth, ayeternal delay, ...).
- Bug fixes and other smaller additions.
