Releases: Ashvala/Jie
Into the Great Wild Yonder
This release is named after Trentemøller's album from 2010. It has this one phenomenal track that opens the whole album called "The Mash and the Fury". Other tracks on the album are great too! But, that one especially.
This release features server side updates that allow you to maintain knob states across many computers. So, a person can just join into a jam and not wait.
The release also features the much awaited sequencer! It has a sequencer, guys! The next day and a half will be spent trying to create a timing system for these, but, hey, it's a start!
III
Moderat's new record is called III and it's a great album, if you haven't ever listened to Moderat, you should - they're a great electronic music trio and make some inspiring music. This is the 0.3 tag on Github, so, I thought it was a funny co-incidence too!
The changes to this version are mostly pertinent to the Csound architecture and auto-play. There is an experimental Emscripten build of Csound in this release (thanks to @kunstmusik). Soon, I hope this can be expanded to work with MIDI and will effectively make it possible for people on multiple platforms to have jam sessions.
Other changes are instrument changes - I added envelopes to reduce the click-y nature of them. I will fix the clarinet for the next release.
Walls
Walls from Apparat - what a great transitionary album if you are moving from EDM to more sound design heavy music. One of my favorite albums of all time.
This update adds interface improvements, backend improvements pertinent to state and finally, updates related to event handling animations. This is also a clean-up version, with a ton of changes that make the code at the back deprecate a ton of old code and use more compact code in its place.
Future updates will add more animations and event handling features to the program.

Hands cannot erase
I guess I'll start naming tags and releases after the albums I'm listening to at the time of the push.
Either way, Things that have changed:
- Fixed a bug with the server that made clients assume id number -1
- Added MIDI support
- MIDI-fied some instruments.
- Minor interface tweaks and improvements.
