Zrythm 1.0 released back in 2024 for this software catering from beginners to audio professionals. It&#8217;s been a GTK-based application for years but the developers have been porting it to Qt6\/QML. Released this weekend is the first Zrythm 2.0 alpha release that moves from GTK to Qt\/QML.<\/p>\n<p>Along with going from GTK to Qt6\/QML on the UI side, the Zrythm codebase has morphed from C to C++23. The developers also decided to drop their Meson build system support in favor of Windows.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&#038;image=zrythm_2alpha_4_med\" alt=\"Zrythm 2 Alpha on Linux\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In addition there is JUCE plug-in support, native CLAP plug-in support, ASIO support on Windows, and a variety of other improvements.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&#038;image=zrythm_2alpha_3_med\" alt=\"Zrythm 2 Alpha\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The screenshots in this article are of Zrythm 2.0 Alpha 1.
