14th November 2014
Planet-H has updated G-Stomper Studio for Android to v4.0. This major release comes with a complete new graphical user interface in addition to a long list of feature upgrades:
Release Notes:
New redesigned Graphical User Interface.
Zillions of UI optimizations and bug fixes.
New overall file handling. All File Dialogs have been replaced by a new File Browser, which allows a user to organize all their user files in folder structures.
New User Sample integration. User samples don't need to be imported any more, a user can load every supported sample directly from the file system.
New SoundSet implementation. A user can now choose, what exactly they want to have saved with a soundset (Samples, Sampler Presets, VA-Beast Presets, FX1-3, Master).
New custom initial Pattern. A user can save their own init pattern to be used in every case when a new initial pattern is created with the name '-init-'.
New optimized Export Process + Post Processing. Generally the Export Process has been re-organized. Furthermore a user gets a new 'Post Processing' option in the Export Format Dialog, where they can choose Normalize the exported audio to -0dB (max volume).
New Sampler Note Grid Edit mode. The Sampler Note Grid follows now the same logic as the Poly Grid. A user can select particular Notes and note-shift or invert them.
Optimization in the Mixer logic. The mixer channel volumes have been separated from the Sampler-/Synth internal Levels, so if a user automates the Level on a Sampler Track, they can still change its overall volume using the mixer channel. Furthermore the mixer channels got new internal amplifier modules, so that the audible result is exactly the same for Sampler and VA-Beast Tracks. Logically, the Sampler-/Synth internal Level is applied on each Voice separately at the very first moment when the sound is generated while the Mixer Channel Volume is applied to Sampler-/Synth internal Mixdown right before it gets routed to the FX chain.
New Mixer Volume Link Mode (Mixer view): One can now link the mixer channel volumes to raise or lower all channels at once while keeping the relation of volumes between the channels (long press the 'VOL' button to enable/disable). When enabled, a user can move any Volume Fader and all others follow while keeping the mix intact.
Improved Roll feature (main Drum Machine): A user can now enable the Roll feature to be 'Accent Aware' (long press the 'ROLL' button to enable/disable). When enabled, the Roll uses the regular Accent amount to adjust the Loudness of the particular Roll Triggers. The first Roll trigger is at max volume (accentuated) while the last Roll trigger is at the min (most reduced) volume. All Roll triggers in between (in case of Roll 3x/4x) are calculated to transit smoothly from max to min accentuation. The Accent amount can be set as usual with the Accent Fader (in accent mode on the main Drum Machine).
Improved Fill-in algorithm (main Drum Machine): The Fill-in feature manipulates now Triggers and Accents (accents are only audible if an accent amount is set), while keeping the groove intact (e.g. it never places 2 accents in sequence). This attempts to make the generated Fill-ins sound more natural. The Accent amount can be set as usual with the Accent Fader (in accent mode on the main Drum Machine).
Full MIDI support for the VA-Beast Synth: Check out the MIDI Documentation for further details.
