0.9b5 Release Notes
2/12/2000 AudioMulch 0.9b5 Release Notes
AudioMulch version 0.9b5 is now available from the download page.
NOTE: If AudioMulch reports that opengl32.dll is not found, please read the Windows 95 OpenGL installation notes here.
AudioMulch version 0.9b5 includes the following new features:
Automation Recording
It is now possible to record into Automation channels from
MIDI and on-screen controls (knobs, sliders etc.) To record
parameter changes, enable automation for the desired parameter
and enable recording for the Automation Channel Panel by depressing
the record button under the mute button. The master record button
(on the transport tool bar) must also be enabled for Automation
recording to occur. Master record may be toggled on and off at
any time by pressing the R key on the keyboard.
Undo Support for Patcher Operations
All operations performed in the Patcher Pane including creating,
deleting and connecting contraptions are now undoable. The undo
function provides many levels of undo and redo.
New Contraptions
Two new contraptions have been added to the Beta category: SouthPole
is a low-pass resonant filter with envelopes, envelope followers and
LFOs which may by combined using a modulation mixer; PulseComb is a
comb filter with a pitch synchronous envelope implementing a hybrid
of Pulsar Synthesis. See the individual contraption entries in the
help file for more details, or check out the files Pulsar.amh and
HappyPenguins.amh in the examples directory.
The following bugs have been fixed in this release:
- Fixed low gain problem in RissetFilters when high values of Q were used
- Fixed a number of bugs that would cause Access Violation errors when the user attempted to automate integer-valued parameters such as LoopPlayer bar count (this functionality is currently disabled) or to load a document
- Fixed problems with editing text boxes in 10Harmonics and 5Combs when Audio is enabled
- Fixed bug where 8-bit wave files would sound very distorted
- Fixed bug where references to soundfiles loaded into Drums etc. would not be saved in the document correctly if the file name or patch contained an '&' character
- Fixed bug where all knobs with logarithmic scaling (such as ParaEQ cutoff frequency and bandwidth) were displaying the wrong values in their tool tip
- Fixed bug where automation would be disabled when using the "Export to Wave File" function if a non-zero pre-roll was specified
Thank you to all users who reported bugs in the previous version. A number of bugs submitted recently are still under investigation, I would be interested to hear from anyone still encountering previously reported bugs in this version. If you encounter any bugs in this version please let me know about them and I will fix them as soon as possible.
