KarmaFX Synth Modular updated to v1.05

25th February 2009 - KVR Audio News

KarmaFX Synth Modular has been updated to v1.05.

Changes:

Speed of oscillators and unison modules has been improved significantly.
Noise generator now also works in stereo.
Added silent output detection to filters to reduce CPU load in polyphonic patches.
Chorus sound has been improved: Depth and delays range have been increased from 80ms to 200ms. Max number of stages has been increased from 3 to 8. A delay modulator is allocated per stage to let LFOs run out of phase. New "phase offset" parameter added for controlling LFO phase.
"Straight" unison is now the default mode in Unison module.
Online update will now also download and run full installer updates. [requires fresh install]
Bugfix: Sampler would not trigger on very first note when GUI was minimized. Fixed.
Bugfix: Switching a module connected to the notepitch module between stereo and mono could cause notepitch module to loose a polyphonic voice. Fixed.
Bugfix: Notepitch module could in some situations play the same key in two or more polyphonic voices, causing the amplifier to leave hanging notes. Fixed.
Bugfix: To prevent hanging notes, the Amplifier and Notepitch modules are now reset when the midi stream is interrupted.
Bugfix: Silent modulators would not free the CPU as much as disconnected modulators. Fixed.
Bugfix: Midi events are now deltaframes sorted to prevent midi trigger inconsistencies in different hosts.
Bugfix: Pseudo random generator in LFO is now reset on trigger and transport change for true deterministic randomness.
Bugfix: SFZ parser would fail and crash the synth on files without newline breaks after sample filenames. Fixed.
Bugfix: Damping was computed wrong in reverb module causing unwanted ringing. Fixed.
Bugfix: Amplifier would not always pass sound when trigger was off. Fixed.
Bugfix: Infinite loop test could crash the synth when making a new connection in a patch with a working infinite connection. Fixed.
Bugfix: EQ31 settings were not cloned correctly in polyphonic mode. Fixed.
Bugfix: Synth did not respond to "all notes off" midi event causing hanging notes in some hosts. Fixed.
Bugfix: All LFO instances did not reset on transport change. Fixed.
Bugfix: Fixed memory leak when loading new patch. [requires fresh install]
Bugfix: Synth would crash when saving Sampler module patches with sample filenames longer than 127 chars. Fixed.
Bugfix: Backward loop mode in sampler could cause overflow error. Fixed.
GUI: Bugfix: The background color of EQ31's display was wrong. Fixed.
User's Manual has been updated to revision 1.12.
