Niu plusplus updates MidiPhrase to v2.1.1 - Adds Track Functions

Niu plusplus has updated MidiPhrase to version 2.1.1.

New Features:

1 Track Functions:

• S – Insert or delete track notes.
• M – Mute or unmute track notes (supports quick operations; see the shortcuts below).
• Track Solo: Ctrl[Cmd] + Left-click the S button on the track panel (Note: The currently selected track [highlighted pad] will always remain active and is not affected by soloing, unless you manually mute it using the M button).
• Select All Track Notes: Ctrl(Cmd) + Shift + Left-click the S button to select all notes on that track.

2 Track Note Append Correction Mode

When you append track notes, the plugin will automatically prompt you to enable this mode (but won't force it). If it's not enabled, notes from different tracks may not align correctly.

Note: To use the track append function, the number of bars must be greater than 1, otherwise notes cannot be appended to the first pad.

Important notes for using Track Note Append:

• Reloading a MIDI file, changing the number of bars, or switching tracks will automatically reset the track state.
• When appending track notes (channels used as instrument tracks), avoid using them together with articulation mapping (channels used for articulation). They may interfere with each other unless you know exactly what you're doing.
• When appending track notes in real time during playback, if loop playback is not enabled, the added notes won't produce sound (This is a quirk of MIDI Phrase).

3 Randomize Playback Start [U]:

Sets the playback start point of the current phrase to a random position (Right-click menu: Randomize Pitch — this option may help clear residual auditory impressions from the previous playback).

Tip: Using this feature together with the playback speed controls [+], [-] may create some interesting variations.

4 Note Input Mode [N]:

Click with the mouse to input notes (Can be used together with [G] Grid Snap and [B] Quantize Resolution).

5 Chord Function (Alt[Option] + C):

Now supports inserting chords with multiple notes simultaneously.

Operations & Shortcuts:

• [X] – Press X in the piano window to restore the phrase to its original content.
• (This operation is also available in the pad right-click menu.).
• [Ctrl (Cmd) + Shift + Left-click a note] – Select all notes on the same channel (This allows quick operations on notes from different channels — for example, notes from other instrument tracks. However, note that if your phrase uses articulation mapping, this action will modify the channel information of the phrase. Therefore, if your phrase includes both articulation mapping and additional instrument track notes, use this feature carefully. You must ensure that articulation mapping channels are different from the appended note channels. For batch deletion or muting of appended instrument track notes, it's recommended to use the S and M buttons on the instrument track instead.).
• [N] – Direct note input mode.
• Batch Quick Mute: Hold Shift, then move the mouse over the M buttons on instrument tracks to mute them quickly.
• [Alt (Option) + N] – Enable channel filtering. Channel filtering allows you to add or remove notes for different appended channels. (You can also use [Ctrl (Cmd) + H] to open the Note Channel Settings panel and set note channels directly.).
• Switch Filter Channel:
• (D) – Down.
• (Alt + D) – Up.
• Newly added notes now follow the channel of the last selected note (unless channel filtering is enabled).
• [Ctrl (Cmd) + Shift + Left-click the track S button] – Select all notes on that channel.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where the **Bars** option stopped working after resizing the plugin.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when enlarging the plugin window.
• Fixed a GUI misalignment issue when switching pads after enlarging the plugin.
• Fixed misalignment between the piano window and keyboard area after resizing the plugin.
• Fixed an issue where opening the note channel settings panel would automatically set the note channel to 1.
• Fixed the articulation display in the note channel settings panel when using articulation mapping (now correctly shows the articulation of the selected note; when multiple notes are selected, it shows the articulation of the first selected note).
• Fixed a crash that occurred when using **Ctrl[Cmd]** or **Shift + Mouse Wheel** in the time ruler area.
• Fixed a time ruler misalignment issue when reopening the plugin.
• Fixed a piano grid misalignment issue when reopening the plugin.
• Fixed an issue where scrollbars displayed incorrectly after reopening the plugin.
