For eager testers, there is new build(1.17.02.50) available in SVN repository. List of changes is below. The long list doesn't mean massive new features, I'm just being detailed here
NOTE: A major bug has been found in .50 (
bug report).
[New] Ability to control plug params with MIDI controllers
-Very basic model with limited and annoying GUI and usability.
-For the time being, only for 'live'-controlling; no ability to insert pattern commands with it.
-No pitch bender mapping
[New] Ability to pass MIDI to plugin.
-Enable from setup->midi
[Imp] Ability to take MIDI volume into account when playing notes with MIDI keyboard.
-Enabled from setup->midi
[New] Ability to start/continue/stop play with certain MIDI messages (0xFA, 0xFB, 0xFC)
-Untested. If you can test this, results would be appreciated.
-If this works, it should work only in pattern tab.
[Fix/Imp] Fix for volume command behavior for plugins; in addition now there are options how to interpret it.
-Note: By default, the old buggy behavior is emulated for existing files - emulation can be disable from song properties.
-In effect: VST volume control may now be possible simply with the familiar volume commands without any macros.
Note, though, a significant difference in volume handling: plug volume is plug specific, not channel specific. So for example in
|C-501......|D-501......
|.....v64...|...........
|.....v32...|...........
|.....v00...|...........
If instrument 01 has VSTi plug, the volume fade affects the VSTi volume thus affecting both channels, while when using ordinary samples, only the note in the first channel fades out.
[Imp] Keyshortcut for preset navigation jumps in VST editor.
[Mod] .bak files won't be shown anymore in load dialog with 'All modules' filter.
[Mod] MPTm files saved with this version should open as IT-files in previous versions
[Fix/Mod] Instrument random variation fix/behavior change.
-Note: By default, old behavior is used for existing files. New behavior can be enabled from song properties.
[Fix] Fix for pattern duplicate for small patterns
[Fix] Fix for ini-settings related crash.
[Fix] Show row playtime didn't on certain cases work on first pattern row.
[Fix] Fix for faulty play on "noteless notes" in IT compatible playmode
[Fix] Pattern number box didn't open pattern properties when using MPTm.
[Fix] Fixed wrong MIDI CC names in macro editor.
[Fix] Possible crash when loading/saving MPTm with more than 64 channels.
And various other changes/fixes. Please note that this is a development build not thoroughly tested.
