Livelab.dk has updated LiveSlice to v1.45. This update introduces some useful features, like time-stretching and MIDI learn, but mainly focuses on stability and workflow. The update is free for all registered users.
New:
- Time stretching.
- Loop cropping.
- Normalize.
- MIDI learn.
- VST 2.4 compliant.
- Volume envelope improvements and enhancements.
- Use arrow keys to pan from slice to slice (useful when editing slice points at max. zoom).
- Shortcut keys in the file manager.
- Space bar now controls playback (instead of randomize).
- Added an option to define what MIDI note LiveSlice will use for middle C (in case you changed that in your host).
- Waveform gfx. improved (improved visualization of zero crossings).
- Slicedisplay zoom / scroll rewritten from scratch - much faster.
- Optional semitransparent slice display (see through overlapping slices).
- Further gui optimizations. The gui response is less affected by the number of events in the arranger.
- Locate slice will now scroll to the corresponding loop in the loops list.
- The arrangement configured for individual slices playback is can now be triggered as any other arrangement (was locked in 1.44).
- Fixed saving 24 bit wav. files and added saving of 32 bit (PCM and float).
- "autopitch" (right clicking "autostretch" button) now updates pitch on tempo changes.
- More stable wav file reader - better error tolerance for buggy wave files.
Bug fixes:
- Track parameter "Volume" now works (MIDI config).

- Mouse cursor update bug fixed.
- Fixed bugs with controls / buttons not being properly reset on arrangement change.
- Fixed: "trigger with host" now changes the active arrangement even when seq. is not running.
- Fixed: file browser is now updated when a file is saved.
- Fixed: repaint bug when changing number of visible tracks.
- Fixed: system would hang if slices were insanely small.
- Missing file search no longer scans the whole file system if no search folder is specified.
- Fixed crash related to undo.
- Fixed crashes related to copying and deleting events and tracks (BR 60 and 64).
- Rare crash related to very rapid previewing fixed.
- Change: when replacing events, the selected parameter is inherited from the replaced event.
- The red "playing" markers are now updated when changing bank.
- Fixed problems with missing popup and wrong value-ranges in MIDI settings.
- Fixed MIDI channel bug.
