SynthFont updated to v1.421
29th June 2010
SynthFont has been updated to v1.421.
Bug fixes in v1.421:
- Version 1.420 crashed quite often – randomly, for reasons still unknown.
- When assigning a VST instrument to a track for MIDI channel X, the same instrument is now assigned to ALL tracks for MIDI channel X.
- A number of other minor bugs and annoying inconsistencies fixed.
Other changes in v1.421:
- Localization function does not work on Windows 98.
- A read-only MIDI file can no longer be saved to.
These version 1.420 features are not available in version 1.421 (so wait for 1.422):
- Bank change to a User Bank in live mode.
- Pianoroll, "Draw note", a new checkbox.
- Changed handling of overlapping notes together with missing note-off events.
- Changed Playback volume levels display.
- More buffers for playing live without ASIO.
- The Volume Offset in SoundFont Overrides.
- The Bank Manager "Either fine or coarse" selection.
Bug fixes in the WITHDRAWN v1.420:
- Version 1.412 did not save the Left and Right volume levels correctly in the arrangement.
- Version 1.412 would reset the SoundFont choice to default when editing the MIDI file.
- Pan Spread Defaults function didn't work (problem with Balance vs. Pan).
- Velocity Dynamics has been wrongly displayed with velocity response slopes in the range 1 through 6 while the correct range should have been 0 through 5, where 0 - 1 means a velocity response less than unity.
- Since version 1.410, the Mixer Track Volume could be reset to 1.0 on some occasions.
- In the SoundFont Group editor, the last melodic program was always blank.
- Since some time back, double-clicking on a note in the Pianoroll did NOT make the note's track active.
- Fixed a problem with SONiVOX VST instruments.
- When playing from a Marker in Pianoroll, SynthFont would reset the Stop Marker to the end of the file.
Other changes in the WITHDRAWN v1.420:
- Bank change to a User Bank now works also in live mode (use the new command "Reset all bank assignments (live mode)" in BANK menu, Plug&Play track list header, to reset banks).
- Pianoroll, "Draw note", a new checkbox: "Insert new note when moving notes and clicking on an empty space". Uncheck if you find this function awkward.
- Still improved handling of overlapping notes together with missing note-off events.
- Changed the Playback volume levels display; the display leaves a track of the peak level.
- For playing live, without ASIO, you can now select to use up to 10 buffers to avoid stuttering (but get increased latency instead...).
- The Volume Offset in SoundFont Overrides no longer changes the Mixer Track Volume but has its own parameter.
- The Bank Manager no longer lets you select "Either fine or coarse" bank selection controller. You must select "Bank Coarse (CC 0)" or "Bank Fine (CC 32)".
