Audio Nebula updates Aurora FM to v1.4 for Windows and Linux

14th April 2022

Audio Nebula has announced that Aurora FM has been updated to version 1.4 with the following changes.

New:

Two new dark themes, "Winter Solstice" and "Blood Aurora".
Poly Retrigger voice mode ("P.Retrig") - repeated notes retrigger on the same voice (by request).
Added "LED" level meters to the operator envelopes (which display the envelope levels of the newest voice) (by request).
Envelope stage change for all operators simultaneously with +Alt modifier (multi-stage level change switched from +Alt to +Shift+Alt).

Changed/Improved:

Replaced the fixed S&H operator mod source with a third variable mod source.
Split the single underlying operator Frequency parameter into two parameters, Coarse and Fine, in order to be much more conducive to external control surface setups.
Fixed the reported "integer" properties for operators' Wave and FB In Op parameters to enable correct functionality with external control setups that rely on accurately reported quantization step properties.
Tweaks/improvements to all existing visual themes.
Greatly improved the Bit Depth Reduction to make it much more useful; moved it from an output effect up to the operators' signal generation stages, where it can have a greater effect by cascading through FM.

Fixed:

Removed unintended ability to change the Part via scrollwheeling over a non-active part's Part Selector, which had led to a potential crash.
Potential crash when setting the Patch via the host's UI.
Incorrect rendering of operator's on/off state on multi-Part Patches (introduced in v.1.3.1).

Other:

Reduced the file size by ~2MB (.). This was due to tons of unused MFC .objs getting unnecessarily linked in because of a single MFC class I was using, thanks to some MS ridiculousness. I figured out how to get the functionality I needed without needing the MFC class that would require the big cascade of unavoidably linked waste.
