Synthmaker v0.9.2 released

15th March 2005

Synthmaker has been updated to v0.9.2.

New Features:

VST Effects - you can now export VST effects.
Presets - using the Preset Manager and Preset Parameter components you can now add preset handling to your VSTs.
Busses - on some occasions you want to be able to combine many links into just one. The new Bus Create and Bus Extract components allow you to do exactly that.
New GUI Controls - Edit and Popup List controls added for you to use on your module front panels.
Enhanced Graphics Performance - sliders and controls are much more responsive now. Editing in general should be much faster thanks to some significant performance enhancements to the graphics engine.
Timing Components - the new Timing Info and Sample Position components allow you to use tempo and timing information from a host when you run your exported VST plug-in.
Direct Sound - there's a new dedicated Direct Sound component which is much more reliable and flexible than the previous XLeft and XRight components.
Clipping - drawing is now clipped to the module front panel.
Automatic GUI Linking - high-level GUI modules can be made to appear on a parent module's front panel automatically without having to create physical links. This allows you to get instant result and makes your schematics much easier to read.
Wave Table calculations are much quicker now.

Bug Fixes:

Many crashes and other bugs related to Direct Sound and MIDI.
It was not possible to open more than one SynthMaker generated VSTi in a host without causing a crash or an error.
Sometimes opening the GUI for a SynthMaker generated VSTi in a host for the second time causes a crash.
Double-clicking on the Move Into Module action panel button moves into the module then immediately back out again.
Various GUI editing glitches and bugs.
After panning using the navigator view rectangle, the schematic window appears blurred.
Zoom in then out again and some GUI elements appear offset from their correct positions.
