Release notes

fixed: updated manual with information on features added since public beta 2.0.294
new: added pdf manual version
fixed: mode 'Midi triggers note (modulated)' transposed some notes an octave too low
fixed: some slight factory preset tweaks
new: added 'Monads' chord filter option, making it possible to use the chord fitting assist modes also with single notes
fixed: slow startup of the tonespace UI on OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard
fixed: Logic revalidating tonespace AU component every time during start up
fixed: 'none' chord displayed in balzano 3-shape
fixed: note was not released when mouse up on disabled cell
fixed: hold notes until next click did not work as users expected
fixed: crash in Ableton Live on Windows when closing VST gui while tonespace help/about dialog still visible
new: 'trigger' parameter replaces the 'on midi' parameter and controls when and how cells are triggered (either by mouse and/or by incoming midi notes)
new: midi triggering offers several variants, including triggering on mouse clicking, mouse hovering or by incoming midi note as in tonespace 1.0
new: triggering by midi notes can optionally transpose/modulate incoming midi notes from CMajor into the selected scale/key (allows to play 'white keys only' and still generate chords that are in key)
new: 'on click' parameter replaces the 'mouse' parameter and controls whether chords are released on mouse-up or held until next click
new: 'assist' parameter offers new chord assist modes, including a mode for fitting chords to a scale/key instead of to the space.
new: with chord fitting to scale/key: when more than one chord is possible you can either take the best one, cycle through all, or pick a random one for an arpeggio-like effect
new: 'chord filter' parameter allows to restrict the types of chords that are used by chord assist algorithms. Select between 2, 3 and 4 note-chords. This also reduces the number of chord assist parameter modes, as they longer have to select the chord size
new: 'voicing' parameter has been extended with new inversion types and open/close modes. The old open/open+/open++ modes are now called spread/spread+/spread++
new: the currently hovered and/or clicked root cell is now also higlighted, so you always know where you are in the grid, even when using chord voicings with a different root note
new: last played and estimated next chord names are displayed

as before, tonespace 2 is free as in beer and available for windows, mac and linux

Mucoder's efforts are highly valued and this release provides many requested features. It is fascinating and helps me understand chord and scale relationships in an audio/visual manner. Great stuff. Thank you.
