Hamburger v0.5

Latest update is the release for v0.5, primarily focused on fixing bugs, speeding things up and reducing the number of crashes.

One major change:

• Added a frequency shifter in the phase distortion module's signal path! Try it out!

Other Changes / Bug Fixes / Boring stuff

• Fixed a critical bug that occurred on linux operating systems in regards to object lifecycle issues on Fonts and LookAndFeel class instances, causing the plugin to crash when opening the UI.
• Fixed an issue with the categories for dropdown items being reset when reopening projects on Debian inside of BespokeSynth DAW
• Refactor GUI code to remove duplicate LookAndFeel instances for a hopefully less buggy experience, with faster UI loads
• Removed debugging tools that were introduced in v0.4.1 (they aren't very useful)
• Updated Github Actions Linux builds to support new JUCE 8 GCC requirement.
• Removed AVX2 requirement for builds (more support for more CPUs)
• Bump JUCE version to newest JUCE 8 to fix compilation issues on newer Mac devices.
• Various other small performance fixes and optimisations

With the addition of the frequency shifter in the phase distortion module, there is a chance some of your presets might not work like they used to. With that being said, all of the other signal processing should still be the same.

Full Changelog: v0.4.1...v0.5

Hamburger v0.4.1

Pushing this update to get bugs fixed following surge of downloads on Ko-fi

Major Changes

• Builds distributed on GitHub and on Ko-fi will come with Sentry error handling (pdb / dsym file uploads), allowing for easier plugin debugging.
• Fix major async issue on some operating systems to do with preset loading

Full changelog: v0.3...v0.4.1

Builds can be located on Ko-Fi for free download: https://ko-fi.com/s/6e7ded34dc

Thank you for your patience

Hamburger v0.4

Major Changes:

• Rubidium Distortion mode (an extension on transformer style distortion, breaks the rules of physics)
• Matrix Distortion panel with waveshaping and morph filtering (cause it's funny)
• Oversampling across all DSP modules (will have higher DSP load)
• Preset panel now added (with ability to save, load presets)
• Added error logging with sentry.io

Other changes:

• Performance improvements in specific areas (multiband compression)
• Decreased clicking artifacts when twisting knobs, at the cost of some performance (still a few known issues including allpass amount)
• Colours changed for phase distortion and rubidium distortion panels
• Change tone of certain modules (tube tone, increased strength of Rubidium asymmetry)
• Tweak parameter tunings to better placements, unify amounts
• Fix some crashes on linux and other systems due to static font lifecycle issues and math errors
• Make several parameters independent (compression, noise)
• Ensured the grill does not saturate sound when the knob is set to 0

Full Changelog: v0.3...v0.4

This will change the sound of existing projects that uses Hamburger, so consider this version (and all v0.x versions) breaking.

Thanks!

• Improved antialiasing on important images
• Performance improvements
• Added support for oversampling on distortion and post clipping modules, and higher sample rates
• Improved knob ranges for most knobs
• Better knob defaults for nicer sounds
• Fixed font rendering issue on Windows, and resolved font rendering differences between mac and windows
