Beta 6 of Xhip Synth is now available.

Changes:

  • Fixed bug with loading patch names.
  • Completely rewrote all GUI code, now using directdraw, many improvements.
  • Added shift-drag for sliders, two pixels adjust control by one increment (256ths for most params).
  • Updated the look of controls using the new systems, transparency, etc.
  • Improved speed of oscillators by as much as 1.5x or more.
  • Improved method in which modulation is routed, slight speed improvement.
  • Hopefully fixed all problems with allocation and Cubase, etc.
  • Mostly fixed triangle and sine waves, they are still not perfect, but very close.
  • Implemented totally virtualized graphics system, enabling porting to other systems more easily.
  • Implemented paged interface, taking advantage of new "frame/window/etc" based GUI system.
  • Added more patches to fill out the "default" bank a bit more.
  • Now distributing a GUI-less version for compatibility with bad hosts.
  • Greatly reduced the amount of color used in the GUI.
  • Partly fixed bug with allocation of voices (adjusting notelogic parameter).
  • Limited range of notes to standard MIDI (0-127).
  • Adjusted frequency handling internals to be slightly more accurate.
  • Fixed bug with envelope keytracking possibly locking up envelope with high notes.
  • Made major changes to the way the new GUI handles messages and redraw.
  • Shaded regions, improved look of xhip GUI.
  • Added checkbox to enable/disable output clipping to allow out of range data (greater than 2pp). Warning, this can cause horrible slowdowns, clipping / wrapping, and other effects in some hosts,
    or with some effects placed after xhip. Leave clipping on if you are unsure about it.
  • Optimized clipping method for parameter routing, 120% speed increase.
