Releases
Dussek 0.4.0
New
- Weidinger, a second plugin for the brass (trumpet, horn, tenor and bass trombone, tuba), as a
preview in the same release files: its own standalone and LV2, CLAP and VST3 plugins. The Windows
installer and the macOS package offer it as a component that can be left out. - Analysis and Visualization open with or without the keyboard strip.
- An instrument folder that is no instrument, or a file that is no Scala scale, says why in the window.
- The standalone's window has Dussek's icon on Linux and Windows (it had the system's default).
Changed
- The window shows only the tabs and pedals that act on the instrument, and the keyboard and its panels
take the width.midi2wav --videodraws the same pedals.
Install: Windows: dussek-0.4.0-windows-setup.exe; macOS (Apple silicon):
dussek-0.4.0-macos.pkg; Linux: unpack dussek-0.4.0-linux.tar.gz and run ./install.sh.
dussek-0.4.0-windows-portable.zip and dussek-0.4.0-macos-portable.tar.gz hold the same
files to copy by hand (their README.txt says where). If you tried a test build, remove the
bundles you copied by hand first (dussek.lv2, .clap, .vst3 in %APPDATA%\LV2 or
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins): hosts prefer them to the installed ones.
Weidinger, the brass (trumpet, horn, tenor and bass trombone, tuba), comes in the same files as a
preview: its own standalone and plugins, physically modeled from the same sources. The installers
offer it as a component that can be left out; its sound and controls may still change.
Tested on Linux and Windows (the standalone, LV2, CLAP and VST3); the macOS build is untested,
reports welcome. Where a host offers LV2 or CLAP, prefer them to the VST3.
Not signed: Windows' SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher ("More info", then "Run
anyway"); macOS asks before opening the package (right-click it and choose Open, or System
Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway").
The code is AGPL-3.0-or-later; each instrument carries its license (CC BY 4.0, or CC BY-SA 4.0
where its folder's LICENSE.md says so).
Dussek 0.3.2
New
- "updating…" in the bottom bar while a change is still on its way into the sound (Hammer hardness,
the felt, another instrument: up to about 2 s on a piano). - The Morph tab morphs the harpsichords among themselves and the two harps with each other: the
chosen harpsichord keeps its registers and stops, each mixed with the partners' of the same pitch. - Dussek is on itch.io too (https://ccoors.itch.io/dussek), where the itch app keeps it up to date.
Breaking
- Hammer hardness reaches +24 dB (was +12 dB). Its automation recorded in a VST3 or CLAP host
before maps to other values (those hosts store it as a share of the range); LV2 sessions and
presets keep theirs.
Changed
- A morph plays each key at the mean of its partners' levels: halfway between Grand A and Grand B
had a bass up to 2.6 dB louder than either. - Release noise starts at −10 dB, as the Pedal ring does (chosen by ear); saved sessions and
presets keep their own value.

Dussek 0.3.1
New
- A tongue drum (Percussion): a steel tongue drum's 15 tongues E3–E5, from new recordings at three
dynamics; the other tongues ring along ("Ringing tongues").
Changed
- Upright D: its own key release noise, from new recordings of its keys released without a
note (it borrowed Grand A's): a low thud, at about the old noise's level. Its A5 at ff from a new,
unclipped recording. - Harpsichord B: the lute stop plays a little under the 8′ II instead of 7 dB over it (its quill
pulls as hard as the row's: near the nut the string gives way less).
Fixed
- Linux: the standalone links its outputs to the default output when nothing else does, so it
plays when started on its own under PipeWire (it was silent there);DUSSEK_AUTOCONNECT=0turns
this off. - The microphone drawings keep clear of their captions ("from above" ran into the left microphone
with a bottom panel open; the floor line crossed "from the front"). - Grand H: no hiss in its room (its room rang 1.4 s from 1.6 kHz up: the strings in its recording's
gaps read as a room). - Linux: instruments installed with
install.sh --systemare found when$XDG_DATA_DIRS
leaves out/usr/local/share(NixOS, some desktops). - Linux: a failed
install.shlists what it copied, souninstall.shor the next install removes
it; a relative$XDG_DATA_HOMEis ignored, as the XDG spec says. dussek renderand midi2wav refuse an--inputthat is no WAV file at once, not after the render.- Windows: the installer keeps Dussek in its fixed folder (a plugin's Copy CLI looks for the
standalone there) and removes the Start menu entry when an update leaves the standalone out.
