Radium 7.2.87 released

[kjetil]

Biggest news this time is support for ARM64 CPUs. This includes
releasing native binaries for Macs running an M1, M2, or M3 CPU.
(Download MacOS ARM64 binaries here:
http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium ... 4/?C=M;O=D)

Another big news is the new demo song "Poptikus" by Nil Geissweiller /
A-Lin (Europe). Besides being a really great song by itself, it is
also a good demonstration of what you do with Radium since all
instruments in this song are made with the FaustDev instrument, and
nearly all of the instruments are coded from scratch specifically for
this song!

Not related specifically to this release, but here is a new tutorial
video for Radium, created by SacredBirdman:

Radium 2.7.89 released.

Quick release to fix LV2 plugins, which was broken in 2.7.87. Also, in 2.7.87 I forgot to mention that LV2 is available for MacOS as well, which would have been incorrect. But now it is.

This release also includes a new demo song called "Locrans Shop" made by Trumpetrespas. This song is "showcasing swing, a simple drum beat (utilizing the fluidsynth instrument), and volume text.".

Changes 7.2.87 -> 7.2.89:

• Demo song: "Locrans Shop" made by Trumpetrespas.
• Editor: Add "Drums" to the "(click me)" menu.
• Fluidsynth: Replaced the default soundfont
  Orgue.sf2 with FluidR3_GM_drums.sf2. FluidR3_GM is
  made by Frank Wen. Trumpetrespas stripped it down
  to only include drums.
• Audio: Fix LV2 plugins (bug introduced in 7.2.87).
• Build: Fix having to run "make packages" twice/etc.

The Mac version now really starts a lot faster! BTW Mac users if you get a message that Radium is "damaged" and cannot be opened, you may need to clear the extended attributes by running: xattr -c path/to/Radium.app on the command line.

This also fixed the bug I ran into when making the tutorial video so I added a correction card for it

I have to admit that the new version is largely groundbreaking. I have projects of sizes about from 30-50MB, and they now load several seconds faster. Similarly, the entire GUI is much more responsive – opening plugin GUIs is now immediate (previously there was lag about 1s). Great job!
