<p><b>THIS IS A FAKE PAGE, KXSTUDIO NEWS USES A DYNAMIC MODULE NOW</b></p>

<p>
<span style="font-size: 20px">&gt; Cardinal 22.05 has been released</span><br/>
On <i>2022-05-15</i> by<i> falkTX</i>
</p>

<p>
Hello everyone, yet another release of <a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal" target="_blank">Cardinal</a> is here.<br/>
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal" target="_blank">Cardinal</a>
is a free and open-source virtual modular synthesizer plugin.<br/>
It is based on the popular <a href="https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/" target="_blank">VCV Rack</a>
but with a focus on being a fully self-contained plugin version.
</p>
<p>
This is a big update with not just bug-fixes but also new modules and a few behaviour changes too.<br/>
Particularly interesting for existing Rack users is the inclusion of the popular Fundamental modules,
though in customized fashion.<br/>
A new
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/blob/main/docs/CARDINAL-MODULES.md#audio-to-cv-pitch" target="_blank">Audio to CV Pitch</a>
module also makes a debut, based on
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/PitchTrackingSeries" target="_blank">DISTRHO PitchTrackingSeries</a>
which was a shared effort for
<a href="https://moddevices.com/guitar-synth/" target="_blank">pushing the feature into hardware units</a>.

<h3>Extra Notes</h3>
<p>
For packagers: fftw3f is now an optional dependency, required for "Audio to CV Pitch" module.<br/>
The module will built if fftw3f is available during build, otherwise disabled.
</p>
<p>
The "lv2export" stuff has been reworked and works now, includes 3 test plugins.<br/>
This allows to export individual modules as single lv2 plugins, with very minimal binaries and no UI.<br/>
For now it is still quite experimental, just to mess around with.<br/>
Future releases might enable them by default, still undecided.
</p>

<h3>Downloads</h3>
<p>
The source code plus Linux, macOS and Windows binaries can be downloaded at
<a href="https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/releases/tag/22.05" target="_blank">
https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/releases/tag/22.05</a>.<br/>
Cardinal is released as LV2, VST2 and VST3 plugin, plus AudioUnit and JACK standalone for certain systems.<br/>
The VST3 version is still considered experimental, prefer to use LV2 or VST2 if possible at this time.
