9These are the release notes for Strudel 0.9.0 aka "Bananenbrot"!
10
11The last release was over 11 weeks ago, so a lot of things have happened!
12
13Let me write up some of the highlights:
14
15## Improved Synth Engine
16
17The synth engine has gotten a lot of love + a name: [superdough](https://www.npmjs.com/package/superdough) encapsulates the web audio based synth / sampler / fx engine into a reusable package, which is already used by [Topos](https://topos.raphaelforment.fr/).
18Main new features include:
19
20- [filter envelopes](https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/learn/effects#filter-envelope)
21- [FM Synthesis](https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/learn/synths#fm-synthesis)
22- [looping samples](https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/learn/samples#loop), allowing [wavetable synthesis](https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/?I9myTNQoKKaP)
23- [vibrato](https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/learn/synths#vibrato)
24- an integration of [ZZFX](https://strudel.tidalcycles.org/learn/synths#zzfx)
