Livelab.dk has updated LiveSlice to v1.45. This update introduces some useful features, like time-stretching and MIDI learn, but mainly focuses on stability and workflow. The update is free for all registered users.

New:

• Time stretching.
• Loop cropping.
• Normalize.
• MIDI learn.
• VST 2.4 compliant.
• Volume envelope improvements and enhancements.
• Use arrow keys to pan from slice to slice (useful when editing slice points at max. zoom).
• Shortcut keys in the file manager.
• Space bar now controls playback (instead of randomize).
• Added an option to define what MIDI note LiveSlice will use for middle C (in case you changed that in your host).
• Waveform gfx. improved (improved visualization of zero crossings).
• Slicedisplay zoom / scroll rewritten from scratch - much faster.
• Optional semitransparent slice display (see through overlapping slices).
• Further gui optimizations. The gui response is less affected by the number of events in the arranger.
• Locate slice will now scroll to the corresponding loop in the loops list.
• The arrangement configured for individual slices playback is can now be triggered as any other arrangement (was locked in 1.44).
• Fixed saving 24 bit wav. files and added saving of 32 bit (PCM and float).
• "autopitch" (right clicking "autostretch" button) now updates pitch on tempo changes.
• More stable wav file reader - better error tolerance for buggy wave files.

Bug fixes:

• Track parameter "Volume" now works (MIDI config).
• Fixed bug that would cause events to be removed when doing granular work (150 events or more placed very close).
• Mouse cursor update bug fixed.
• Fixed bugs with controls / buttons not being properly reset on arrangement change.
• Fixed: "trigger with host" now changes the active arrangement even when seq. is not running.
• Fixed: file browser is now updated when a file is saved.
• Fixed: repaint bug when changing number of visible tracks.
• Fixed: system would hang if slices were insanely small.
• Missing file search no longer scans the whole file system if no search folder is specified.
• Fixed crash related to undo.
• Fixed crashes related to copying and deleting events and tracks (BR 60 and 64).
• Rare crash related to very rapid previewing fixed.
• Change: when replacing events, the selected parameter is inherited from the replaced event.
• The red "playing" markers are now updated when changing bank.
• Fixed problems with missing popup and wrong value-ranges in MIDI settings.
• Fixed MIDI channel bug.
• The default sample paths are now updated when pasting / writing in the text box.
• Very short folder names no longer corrupts the folder name display.
