Willow Software releases Anvil Studio version 2012.05.10

21st May 2012

Willow Software updated Anvil Studio to version 2012.05.10.

Improvements include:

This version now supports more VST-Instruments.
Audio Samples can now be dragged to the Staff from the Audio Samples list below the staff.
Added splitter bars and scroll bars to Piano Roll editor to make it easier to resize panels and scroll to desired notes within the panel.
MIDI effects' parameters can now be edited over time within a loop with Pro-Mix.
Improved the native Equalizer effect.
With Pro-Mix accessory installed, VST-Instruments support automation of effect parameters.
A more useful message is displayed when an error occurs while using VST-Instruments.
For VST-Instruments that do not respond to MIDI events for Volume and PanPot, View / Mixer screen's Volume or L/R Balance control's alter the track's Audio volume.

Problems fixed:

In earlier versions, some songs whose tempo changed over time went silent when played to VST-Instruments.
When a track was assigned to a VST-Instrument, composing by playing notes on an external MIDI keyboard was not causing the notes to be echoed by the VST-Instrument.
In Percussion staff editor, in version 2012.03.01, adding a new drum to the palette would incorrectly report an error.
When a VST-Instrument was added by pressing the FX column, it was not echoing entered notes when composing.
