Congratulations on this big release!

I've tried using this version with my Elements synth here https://github.com/chromatone/elements/ but I keep getting errors from the el.noise() function about a being undefined. I can't understand what this a stands for and how is it defined.

Thank you @davay42! That was a bug that slipped through in the release. I've just shipped a patch 4.0.1, please try that and see if your issue resolves?

[davay42]

Yes! Tried the new version - all works! Will update my other Elementary projects to the new version soon!

Great!
