Initial Audio updates Slice to v1.2.0 and Sektor to v1.6.2
25th May 2022
Initial Audio has updated Slice and Sektor with the following changes.
Slice v1.2.0 fixes and improvements include:
- Added AAX plugin support.
- Graphical improvements.
- Added auto scrolling of the playlist.
- When in song mode the playlist is synced to the host playlist when running as a plugin. Pressing play in the host will trigger Slices play button and play back in sync with the host.
- Added an option to turn on or off looping the playlist.
- Play mode is saved in the host project file.
- When moving the playback indicator in the playlist the audio will start playing from the indicator position, instead of waiting for the start of a new block.
- Basic loop only presets (Not Beat Starters) can be dragged directly onto the sample display. There are two options: 1 Load only the loop without setting any parameters. This is useful if you want to try out different loops but keep everything else the same. Or 2 also load the bass sequence if one is available. This bass will be in key and to the scale of the loop.
- Added Swing to the drum sequencer.
- Added support for ASIO drivers on windows in the standalone app.
- Added support for Bluetooth MIDI devices on windows in the standalone app.
- Dragging a slice outside of the plugin/App now has the BPM of the project instead of the original sample BPM. So the slice will sound the same outside Initial Slice as inside.
- Fixed Bluetooth MIDI not working in standalone on Mac OS 11.
- Fixed an issue where bounce wouldn't work if files of the same name already existed.
- Fixed the sample being out of sync when changing per slice pitch and the project BPM is different to sample BPM.
- Fixed an issue when changing BPM in the host the slices could start at the wrong position.
- Setting half time or double time didn't fully take account of the host BPM.
- Fixed an issue with drum patterns, on occasion the very first sample might not play.
- Stability fixes.
Sektor v1.6.2 fixes and improvements include:
- Added a visible menu for polarity to the expression envelopes. Was only accessible via right click Menu before.
- Added an MPE visual keyboard for when Sektor is in MPE Mode.
- Added support for ASIO drivers on Windows in the standalone app.
- Added support for Bluetooth MIDI devices on Windows in the standalone app.
- Improved point deleting behaviour in the Modulation envelopes.
- Reduced CPU usage of the Oscillators, LFOs and convolution reverb.
- When reloading a project if a destination wasn't enabled, enabling it didn't work.
- Fixed Bluetooth MIDI not working in standalone on Mac OS 11.
- Fixed MPE Mode not working correctly.
- Fixed the delay mix resetting to full mix in certain situations.
- Fixed right click delete points in the expression envelopes deleting the wrong point.
- Stability fixes.
