Hey George,

Thanks for getting back to me, I've worked it out by setting my clock back and installing previous versions. The track was older than I thought and was made with an early beta that didn't recall/save Macros correctly, once I reconfigured them the track played back OK. Once I've got this track sorted I'll try and investigate the 1.0.4 CPU issue further, it doesn't seem to be happening with versions prior to that.

Woo hoo!

But 47MB ! Of which I immediately discarded 30 MB. Yes, the download includes Windows, Mac and Linux installers in a single download, but please consider separating them.

Yes, Mac installer got bigger due to the new standalone app. Separate downloads will be available very soon.

Great list of updates! And thanks for splitting the downloads.
Slow cheap internet helps buy great new software.

Thanks! Pre-hearing samples on Linux is just great. I have noticed that double clicking on folders in the browser to open them does not work, the Return key does.

Thanks for the report. Will try to fix for 1.1 final.

Works in RC2 now, thanks. Got another problem. I cannot zoom with the mouse in the sample editor. What is the modifier key for zooming? I tried all combinations.

Can't you try sampling using Windows instead as a temporary workaround?

Hello George, I'm using Windows to sample my VST instruments and then I copy my sampled banks to Linux. I found another problem when trying to load the banks in Bliss (64) 1.04 on Ubuntu 16.04 (using LXDE / Unity / Cinnamon). None of the open/save dialogs are displayed. When running the command sent by Bliss in a terminal the dialog is displayed.

This dialog problem is now fixed with version 1.1

Code: Select all

/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/zenity --file-selection --title=discoDSP Bliss - Load Plugin --filename=Bliss 2>/dev/null

I created a workaround that uses kdialog for Bliss dialogs to solve my problem (using hard coded vst plugins and bank paths).

karl@karl-Yoga-2-Pro:/usr/local/bin$ cat zenity

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh
