• Performance - reViSiT v0.85 clocks in at over 400% faster than VSTrack v0.84 - and with the lighter CPU load, almost everyone should be able to get the full 32-track polyphony (soon to be 64).
• Host Support - This new version has been tested on a variety of VST hosts, and has been adapted to work on Cubase SX, Logic 5, Cubase VST, Bidule and many others.
• User Interface - v0.85 boast a bigger, sleeker and more usable interface than its predecessor - users can now see 6 tracks at once, each with 48 rows (80% more than v0.84).
• ZIP Archiving - reViSiT now automatically zips the module and sample data into a single compressed, zip-compatible file (which can then be re-loaded directly into reViSiT). Users can easily open the sample files, which are WAVE-compatible, in any sound editor - or even edit the XML-compatible pattern data.
• Miscellaneous bug fixes -Including the ability to mute and solo track during playback.

Though reViSiT is already a fully-capable piece of music software, there are a number of features that remain to be implemented before v1.0.

The following features are priorities in forthcoming Alpha releases:

• Mouse Support - Future Alpha versions of reViSiT will boast basic mouse support (e.g. slider manipulation, editor tabs). Beta versions will feature a more advanced mouse implementation (e.g. pattern selections / drag ‘n drop manipulations).
• MIDI IN / OUT - reViSiT will eventually allow input via MIDI (from the host – for pattern recording and live playback), as well as MIDI output.
• Surround Sound Support - Tracking notation offers an ideal method of addressing surround sound spatialised sound, reViSiT will eventually feature detailed support for writing music in quadraphonic and 5.1 sound.
