nashNET has released reViSiT v0.91 Beta, featuring numerous updates and improvements.

The major additions/changes:

• A New Help System: To support Vista and allow a little more robustness with window control, the help system has been moved from WinHelp to HTMLHelp technologies. This involved the grueling conversion of all the RTF files to HTML and recoding of the index and contents data.
• Workflow improvements: This version has a number of minor changes/additions to make working with reViSiT easier and quicker – including auto-extend clipboard operations (e.g. Alt-O*2); a program-wide, lockable Audition Mode (Caps Lock); and an Apply Last Pattern Options shortcut (Ctrl-F2).
• Minor and major bug fixes: After exhausting debugging sessions and conversations with ardent testers, Chris has managed to locate some of the more elusive problems with reViSiT and host interaction to solve problems such as: MIDI stops and resets that don't trigger Note Offs or send reset messages; pattern highlight edits erasing pattern data; addition to the keyswitching problems in the last release, this update fixes a number of minor memory handling problems and leaks, as well as a couple of teething problems with .1's channel naming and colouring features.

Professional Edition Update: In parallel with this public release, the first Professional Edition is being made available to selected testers for the first round of "quality control". v0.91 Pro features a full surround sound feature set, adding many effects, settings, shortcuts and widgets to take advantage of - literally - a new dimension of music. As testing proceeds, work continues on the assignable output features, destined to start testing with v0.92.
