[MSuperLooper] Added "Prev/next cycle" option to MSuperLooper.
Added "Disable when bypassed" option to modular systems. Note that this option is somewhat dangerous, so please check the information about it.
IR export (in plugins with this feature) now produces 24-bit wav files if the maximum is in range -40dB to 0dB to improve compatibility with HW processors.
Added "Controls MPs" option to multiparameters. Useful in more complex device design.
[MSoundFactory] Added more options for "Max voices".
[MDrummer] Added "Follow pitchbend/volume/panorama" options to MDrummer's global settings.

Various improvements and fixes.

Fix: Notes with velocity 1 were ignored by VST3 plugins.
Fix: Multiparameters with "By bank name interpolated" value mode couldn't parse text values when the values were not ascending.
[MSoundFactory] Fix: Wavetable module crashed if waves were dropped onto an oscillator and the number of them was higher than the current number of waves.
[MRecorder] Fix: Drag & drop button for the recorded file didn't work.
Fix: Online activation could fail with odd characters in the email address.
[MSoundFactory] Fix: Sampler's find missing files destroyed the loop and range of the sample settings.
Fix: VST3 native parameter menu didn't contain all items.
[MSuperLooper] Fix: MSuperLooper could crash when recording has started on macOS with M1.
[MConvolutionMB] Fix: MConvolutionMB could crash when browsing between files some of which could take long to load and the others are corrupt.
[MSoundFactory] Fix: Velocity shape only affected volume, not the actual velocity used elsewhere (e.g. sample selection).
[MAGC] Fix: MAGC didn't keep the gain when "Set output gain" was enabled after reloading.
[MSoundFactory] Fix: "Velocity off" controller didn't work.
Fix: ARP MIDI output could be inaccurate in timing for big audio buffer sizes in some cases.
Fix: Using some advanced graph editing features on oscillator custom shapes may have not updated the audio processing.
Fix: Using frequency modulation in MSynthesizer4NN could cause problems.
[MAutoPitch] Fix: MAutoPitch could produce silence until a pitch has been detected.

Thanks for the MAGC Fix!

[Alan Valdez]

I was about to post something about the Oktafon that is resetting to the default every time a project opens... going to check this new beta and if the issue is still there I will reach the mail! Thank you for the Mcompressor fix! I use it all the time as if my life depended on it! <3

[mibby]

Amazing!!!

[SeeingInMidi]

Nice update! Is anybody able to explain "Controls MPs" further? I'm trying to wrap my brain around why and how it works.

The help ? gives more info

It's is for when MPs are controlling other MPs and you don't won't the value stored I think

[DarkStar]

^^^
I read the Help and am not much wiser.

Maybe it is this: say MP A controls some aspect of MP B. And i adjust MP A - it alters that aspect of MP B. Then I adjust the value of MP B itself and save the project (or preset).

When I reload the preset I would want the stored value of MP A to be used to set it and the stored value of MP B to set that one. But the value of MP A should not change any aspect of MP B until the value of MP A is changed again.

But that could be nonsense. What we need is whoever asked for this feature to come and explain it - and make some revisions to the Help text

[Fleer]

Wonderful, new MSoundFactory instruments:
Trailer hits, Space pad factory, Heart beat!
And lots of MSoundFactory improvements.

[vectorwarrior]

Yeah, DarkStar, that was my interpretation of it too.

[DarkStar]

But it could still be nonsense

I don't know for sure either (haven't even had time to download this beta yet), but here's what I think it might be in aid of. This is from an actual use case I've encountered previously.

The order of MPs sending out alteration commands to targets is not particularly under our control - maybe it is predictable, but there's a lot of picky detail to the process. In one case, I needed to ensure that an update got sent to an MP. It wasn't happening due to order of the update chain. Vojtech suggested that I send an update to an unused target in the MP that needed to be ping-ed. This solved the problem.

It would have been vastly simpler (and *way* more maintainable) if I could have just indicated to the MP sender: when you change, make sure this other MP knows about it and sends out its updates accordingly.

That may not make much sense, but, believe me, you'll appreciate such a capability when you encounter a situation where you need it.

Assuming, of course, that my interpretation is what's really going on here.

[Svama]

Lasso function is great now, but in combination with the shift key for locking the y movement of the nodes it doesn’t work, cause you’re deselecting the node with the shift key and the last touched node doesn’t move anyone with the other selected by the lasso function.

[Hexspa]

I don't usually download betas but, if the EQs have a marquee/lasso function for selecting multiple bands, that's great.

[MeldaProduction]

The "Controls MPs" thing means that the modulator is controlling other multiparameters and hence it should NOT be processed when you say load device preset etc. For obvious reasons - say you have MP1 as Gain, and MP2 is some sort of weird control (kinda like preset), which also changes MP1. Then loading settings would not work if MP2 would be invoked, since whatever the user set as Gain before would be lost, since MP2 would "overwrite" it. It's a very advanced thingy, but it has been a problem for some time for some complex designs.

[DarkStar]

So my guess was right
