SynthFont v1.080, VSTSynthFont v1.010 and Viena v0.510 now available

9th July 2007

SynthFont v1.080, VSTSynthFont v1.010 and Viena v0.510 are now available.

SynthFont version 1.080

Bug fixes:

At the end of a tune the last notes were too short.
Some GIGA files with looped stereo samples where not played correctly.
Some newer VST effects did not play but crashed after the editor window was opened.
Changing the speed factor (BPM) while playing did not actually change the speed.
The Tempo "controller" (actually a META event) could not be edited in the Pianoroll / Controllers window.
When moving VST effects up/down, the check state did not follow.
Some VST effects would not empty their buffers when switched off.
Progress bar end marker was faulty.
Notes can no longer be moved off the Pianoroll.
Tracks with VST instruments were silent in Live Input mode (played by external keyboard or Pianoroll keys).

New features:

The "As Good As It Gets" render quality method was really not As Good As I Thought. It has been replaced with a better but slower method - "Perfect Pitch" (should maybe be called "As Slow As It Gets").
The Normal pitch shift method has also been improved.
New methods for selecting several notes for batch editing or copy/paste in Pianoroll: CTRL-click and right-click on Key.

Viena version 0.510

Bug fixes:

New features:

New alternative pitch shift render quality method: Perfect Pitch, same as for SynthFont.
The Normal pitch shift method has also been improved.

VSTSynthFont version 1.010

Bug fixes:

Fixed a serious bug causing exceptions in Cubase (at least).
Fixed a problem when the configuration file could not be found or was in a write protected folder.
The Tuning Scales file wasn't always available or it was write protected.
Some other minor bugs fixed.

New features:

Audigy envelope option.
New alternative pitch shift render quality method: Perfect Pitch, same as for SynthFont.
The Normal pitch shift method has also been improved.
