Detailed Change List
New:
- Multisamples now feature key and velocity zone fades.
- New: Audio Lab: DSP function "Gain Fade".
- New: Audio Lab: "Select To Next Locator" which can be used to expand an existing selection.
- New: Audio Lab: "Select Between First And Last Locator".
- New: Samples: "Trim To Selection" function.
- New: Samples can have a Root Key, defaults to any key name found in the filename, editable via the sample's context menu.
- New: Samples can now also be saved as a Ogg-Vorbis file by using the .ogg extension on save.
- New: Alt + double-click a multisample zone = edits that sample.
- New: MU.LAB package includes prefab Piano and Drumset patches.
- New: Composer: Shift+drag track to move tracks up/down.
Tuned:
- When a sample is modified, and the session is saved, then the option to save the sample now also includes an "Ignore" option.
- Tuned: When the mouse hovers the start/end of a part/note, then holding [Ctrl] now forces the arrow tool instead of the pencil tool.
- Tuned: Windows: When using an AutoHide TaskBar, a maximized MU.LAB window will not cover the small task bar head which is used to unhide the Windows taskbar. This is in contrast to what Windows suggests, but it seems to work better this way.
- Tuned: Improved mouse tooling in multisample editor.
- Tuned: When a new recording on an existing track would result in overlaying parts, then a new track is created (if possible).
- Tuned: Windows: MU.LAB window button order now conform the usual Windows window button order.
- Tuned: Import & Export MIDI files: Empty tracks are avoided.
- Tuned: When dropping samples on the multisample editor, the new zones are placed on the proper layer.
- Tuned: Copy Multisample zone -> source zone is unselected.
- Tuned: Create Multisample Using Locators: Default Loop Mode = No Loop.
- Tuned: Multisample editor memorizes its position and size.
- Tuned: Multisample zone editor: Pitch slider now has a proper default value of 0 cents.
Fixed:
- OSX: Progressbar now properly animated while doing mixdown.
- Fixed: When previewing keys in the multisample editor, the undo buffer was cleared.
- Fixed: In some rare cases, plugin windows were not fully closed when doing new session.
- Fixed: When renaming samples, the multisample editor was not properly refreshed.
- Fixed: Map MIDI Controller dialog box contained a GUI mismatch.
- Fixed: Selecting another target for the focussed track didn't update the MIDI input target.
