These people exists. Don’t waste any more energy on it and block/ignore. (That’s my advice to myself when I get the urge to set some random person straight)

Great! I think that's ok, if you look at how the official release is packaged, the DLL is also next to the EXE. blog.chordian.net/sf2. Do you have a Github account? I could add you so you can make a PR, or you can send the patch some other way.

Here's the issue github.com/micheldebree... I put all the info in there. It will take you to the repo. Obliged if you could take a look. Upgrade for macOS was just a matter of replacing the dependency, but I have no easy way to test it for Windows.

My Windows build seems broken because it is behind the SDL2 version. I need someone to help me upgrade to the latest version…

What platform are you on? Seems my Windows build is broken

I did start a sort of ‘alpha release channel’ to be able to release my tweaking faster. It now has fullscreen support and a c64 font (more text on screen) if you’re interested.

I am afraid an official release is not coming soon because of, well, life. The drivers are really Thomas’s territory because they are a careful trade off between features and efficiency. You can always share your tweaks of course and develop your own drivers.

Ease in vibrato sounds cool. I usually use 2 commands to go from slight vibrato to heavier vibrato over time. Is it something like that?

Well I only marginally work on it, the good stuff is really all done by Thomas (Laxity). I wonder why you can’t export. Probably the meta data doesn’t line up with your changes anymore?

Oh hehe. What did you hack into the player? Just curious because I am on the dev team.

Sounds great! What do you mean you can’t make a SID out of it?

TL;DR; Just make sure you put the correct shapes in the right proportions in their proper positions. Then add detail, color and shading and make it look good.
