0.9b2 Release Notes
2/5/2000 AudioMulch 0.9b2 Release Notes
Version 0.9b2 incorporates a number of incremental improvements over version 0.9b1 and includes some bug fixes. The most significant new feature is automation looping, allowing an arbitrary lengthed segment of the automation sequence to be repeated indefinitely. The following features have been added in this release:
- Automation looping
- Scroll Automation with Playback option
- A Views toolbar allowing quick switching between the Patcher, Properties, Automation and Notes views
- New keyboard shortcuts including Space to stop and start the clock and Enter to stop the clock and return to the start of the sequence
- The preset selection menus in Preset Automation Channels now indicate which presets are valid
- The help file has been brought up to date to document recently added contraptions and other features.
The Automation system is still under development, a number of features such as automation recording have yet to be implemented. See the version 0.9b1 release notes for a full list of planned additions and known limitations to the existing implementation.
The following bugs have been fixed in version 0.9b2:
- Note names in 5Combs did not update after the frequency had been changed using the piano keyboard.
- VST Plugins menu could disappear off the screen if too many plugins were listed.
- Setting DigiGrunge Gain to 0 would sometimes cause AudioMulch to stop producing sound.
- An Access Violation would sometimes occur when loading a document if the previously loaded document contained automation.
- When a document that used MIDI mapping curves was loaded, an additional full range mapping would be prepended to each mapping curve resulting in corrupted mappings.
- Patch cords running backwards up the screen (ie from an outlet lower than the inlet they connected to) would select incorrectly, preventing other near by patch cords from being selected.
- Right clicking on the Gate 1 & 2 check box in drums to display the Configure Modulation popup menu would cause an Access Violation.
An effort has been made to improve the stability of the MIDI syncronisation functionality in this release. An improvement has been observed on some systems, however I am still seeking a more robust solution to this problem.
Thanks to all users who have contributed bug reports and suggestions. If you encounter any bugs in this version please let me know about them and I will fix them as soon as possible.
