0.9b12 Release Notes
9/4/2003 AudioMulch 0.9b12 Release Notes
AudioMulch version 0.9b12 is now available from the download page. This version will expire on July 10th, 2003.
AudioMulch version 0.9b12 includes a new Document Switcher window which supports switching between up to 128 documents under MIDI control. A new Frosscader contraption can fade a stereo signal between two separate stereo outputs allowing the signal to be smoothly faded between multiple signal paths.
This release incorporates a number of significant bug fixes including improved support for some ASIO drivers, fixed "Save copy with soundfiles" functionality, fixed VST Bank file saving, and better support for systems using large DPI font settings.
Other changes made for this release include:
- Added a button to display the ASIO driver's control panel to the settings dialog
- Changed output level meters so that meters work even if the associated output contraption is not assigned to a device in the settings dialog
Bugs that have been fixed for this release are listed below.
- Fixed crash when trying to "Save copy with soundfiles" if any contraption's or preset's soundfile parameters were empty
- Fixed ASIO support for drivers using non-packed 24 bit formats such as Roland UA-20 and Korg Oasys
- Fixed bug where the requested ASIO buffer size was off by a small number (eg 4) compared to the selection in the ASIO dialog
- Fixed bug where assigning "None" as the audio device for input, output or file preview in the Settings dialog would not be restored the next time AudioMulch was launched
- Fixed bug where Arpeggiator osc2 transpose control wasn't working
- Fixed bug where MIDI control of presets using Program Change and Channel Pressure messages wouldn't work in some cases
- Fixed SoundOut "Resource REC_PAUSE_MASC not found" message when dropping into record pause mode
- Fixed bug where soundfiles containing an ampersand (&) in their paths would not load correctly, the same bug also cause ampersands to be corrupted to & in the notes window
- Fixed bug where using stereo soundfiles less than 15 seconds long in the BubbleBlower could cause audio from a previous grain, or a different BubbleBlower contraption to bleed into the current grain stream.
- Fixed bug where VST Bank Files (fxb) files were written in a format that is not readable by other hosts. In general fxb files generated by previous versions of AudioMulch should not be trusted.
- Fixed various display glitches when the user had selected a large DPI fonts setting in the windows Display Properties control panel.
- Fixed bug where Help button incorrectly closed the information dialog that appears when a document can't be loaded correctly.
- Fixed problems with missing images and topics in the help file.
Document Switcher
The document switcher is a floating window that allows you to create a list of documents to switch between, either using the mouse, or under MIDI control. You can save this list of documents to a file called a "Document Set" and reload it later. The document switcher can be accessed from the view menu, from a button on the views toolbar, or by pressing F9.
Full documentation for the document switcher is provided in the "Guide to the Document Switcher Window" topic in the AudioMulch help file.
ASIO Control Panel
When an ASIO device driver is selected in the Settings dialog it is now possible to display its control panel by clicking the Control Panel... button. Some sound card's ASIO control panels may allow adjustment of buffer size settings - AudioMulch does not automatically respond to these changes. In order for AudioMulch to accept such changes you will need to press the Reset Audio button in the Settings dialog.
