OctaSine VS duplicate

Since I last posted here, I've implemented multiple features for OctaSine, a free and open source frequency modulation synth plugin (VST2, CLAP), some of which were heavily requested.

I just released version 0.8.2 of OctaSine, my free and open source frequency modulation synth (source code on GitHub). It is available as a VST2 plugin for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Then I'd heavily recommend trying out a free FM synth VST before spending any money ;). Dexed is popular, but maybe a bit too much (6 operators), this one or this one might be a bit easier (4 operators) - and your DAW probably already has its own FM synth, like Abletons Operator or FL Studios Sytrus.

OctaSine. The dev posts updates on r/synthesizers regularly.

I just released a version 0.8.0 of my free and open source FM (frequency modulation) VST synth OctaSine. The main improvements are:

I would like to add it, but not having Apple Silicon hardware to test it makes it more complicated. If you create an issue in the GitHub repository, you will get an email if I add it.

OctaSine, a digital frequency modulation synthesizer

I am the developer of aquatic, a BitTorrent tracker with world-leading performance, and OctaSine, a frequency modulation digital synthesizer (both written in Rust).

I have been working in Rust for about 4 years, mainly as the developer of aquatic and OctaSine and as a contributor to baseview. I have prior experience in web development using technologies such as actix-web, TypeScript, React, Django and PostgreSQL.

Got a question, a feature request, or got a weird error message? Feel free to either drop a comment or open an issue. The changes to this crate are mostly a result of feedback from users (which is much appreciated.)

This update includes only one bugfix that I found quite interesting: duplicate's choice of edition (2018 for backwards compatibility) leaked into user code that was otherwise using edition 2021. This caused compilation errors in the code produced by duplicate, since it was using a feature of edition 2021 that isn't legal in edition 2018.

At some point, I decided that I wanted to accelerate the synthesis with SIMD. I started out with using packed_simd, but switched to simdeez to abstract over vector widths and enable runtime detection. However, I wanted more flexibility and the option of splitting SIMD code into multiple functions. My solution was to skip frameworks and instead use custom traits and the duplicate crate to abstract over Rust simd instrinsics for different instruction sets. I use sleef for fast sines.
