IRCAM updates ASAP to v1.2.2 with two important new features

IRCAM has announced that ASAP version 1.2.2 is now available.

The IRCAM ASAP audio plug-ins collection for creative sound transformation integrates two important new features:

• Settings for the sonar tool of the Spectral Surface plug-in to locate sounds and their harmonic content.
• A new mode for controlling formant transposition in the Pitches Brew plug-in, automatically generating a curve according to pitch transposition.

This update comes with many other improvements and fixes, which you can find in the change log:

• Fix: About window not resized according to scale factor.
• Imp: Pitches Brew - Set formant transposition frequencies to source frequencies instead of pitch frequencies.
• Fix: Pitches Brew - When the dimensions of the selection rectangle are small, clicking and dragging stretches frequencies instead of shifting them.
• Imp: ARA - Remove the label and reduce the size of zoom ruler editing pop-up windows.
• Imp: ARA - Right-click (or control on Mac) to display zoom ruler editing pop-up windows.
• Imp: Pitches Brew - Do not restore edit mode when using formant ratio or analysis score sliders.
• Imp: Pitches Brew - Make the display of frequency curve shadows pixel-accurate.
• Fix: Pitches Brew - The frequency values displayed on the curves may overlap.
• Imp: Pitches Brew - Set different colors for each frequency curve and display all three curves when editing pitches and formants.
• Fix: Pitches Brew - The term "tones" should be replaced by "semitones" in the points panel and tooltip window.
• Fix: ARA - Do not move the time zoom range when clicking on a region header tools.
• Imp: Pitches Brew - Set different colors for each frequency curve and display all three curves when editing pitches and formants.
• Fix: Pitches Brew - The analysis score slider should use a linear scale.
• Fix: Pitches Brew - The points panel can display nan or -0.00.
• Add: Pitches Brew - A formant ratio that automatically generates the formant transposition frequency curve from the source and pitch frequencies.
• Add: Spectral Surface - Settings of the number of harmonics, duration and frequency range of the audio pre-rendering of the sonar tool.
• Imp: ARA - Anchors the frequency zoom to the mouse position instead of the middle of the value range.
• Fix: Spectral Surface - Audio pre-rendering with the sonar tool may occasionally crash.
• Add: ARA - An option for anchoring the time zoom to the position of the mouse or the playhead.
• Imp: Spectral Surface - Reduce audio pre-rendering crackles with the sonar tool.
• Imp: Use the Alt/Option key to trigger sonar audio rendering instead of the 'p' key.
• Add: Spectral Surface - A spinning icon on the region header when sonar tool audio pre-rendering is enabled.
• Add: ARA - Note description on the right side of the sonogram grid.
