Ardour 5.6 has just been released. This latest version brings with it lots of bug fixes, refinements and GUI enhancements.

Ardour 5.4 has just been released. The main news with this release is support for Ableton's Push 2 control surface. This control surface is designed to work with, and complement, Ableton Live's clip/scene workflow.

SpectMorph allows to analyze samples of musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute.
Also interpolating between two samples of the same instrument (different attack velocity of a piano) could be interesting.
