Hey everyone
We are in the library! [EDIT: on macOS too! The day one library problem is solved; just download again if you are stuck on a mac]
go there, click “subscribe” in the upper corner, and voila, you will get the official 2.0.3 release
If you have downloaded a 2.1 beta you may need to remove it to get the update (just go to Documents/Rack2/plugins and remove the “SurgeXTRack” directory - dont worry there’s no user data there).
A few extra thanks
-
Thanks to @cschol and @qno for helping with getting running in the 2.2.0 SDK and to @pgatt for all the support. Surge isn’t exactly easy to build; rack isn’t exactly a regular environment; and we had some last minute shenanigans. But now I also know more about docker!
-
Thanks to everyone here who tested and gave feedback. There are literally 10s of critical bugs which were in the software the day Omni’s video came out and aren’t there today. You can page up, but you know who you are. The quality of feedback shows how powerful and collaborative this community can be.
-
Of course thanks to all the surge team folks over in surge discord. There’s another whole community of surge and rack folks which is pretty disjoint from this one.
-
Thanks of course to Claes at Bitwig, who rather than abandoning surge in 2018 threw it up on GitHub with a bit of “try-this-out-and-see-what-happens” attitude. It went well!
-
And finally thanks to Andrew for making Rack. Shipping software is hard, and he’s made this thing which we all use and enjoy. I know he doesn’t read this forum, and I know many of us have our ups and downs with each other (heck, he and I had a moment just 3 hours ago! but we got past it), but Rack is cool.
This is the last post we will make in this thread. If you wanna follow along with the 2.1 action we have a dev thread Surge XT 2.1 testing and feedback thread - #18 by cornucopia and one of us will open a new announce when that ships.
And have fun making music with surge! We can’t wait to hear what you’ll do with it.
