Zrythm v2 Builds Thread

Normally, nightly builds are only available to subscribers, but there is no point not making them public because v2 is very far from production ready, so I will post the latest v2 installers here occasionally so everyone can try them out and give feedback.

Zrythm v2 is still being actively developed and if you want to support our work please purchase a plan from our website or donate. You can also help in other ways.

Today I built from master and the GUI already feels much smoother than v1. Obviously many items are missing, e.g. re-opening projects, dragndrop, re-sizing MIDI notes etc. The theme follows the system, which is nice. No issues with the audio devices, haven’t tested MIDI input though. I suppose it’s too early for bug reports, but let us know when you need more in-depth testing. Looking forward to seeing v2 catching up to v1 funcionality :slight_smile:

Thanks for testing! It’s still early for in-depth testing but general feedback to see if we are on the right track is welcome (like audio devices working, project window showing without issues, plugin scan working, fonts and icons working, timeline being operational, etc.). So far it sounds like there are no major issues other than unimplemented features.

i think the position of the zrythm logo and the text below it is kinda “offcenter” on darwin

Will fix/remove that but it’s really low priority. UI polishing will come after the main features are implemented, unless it’s something major that prevents the user from doing something or a fundamental UI change.
