Notion v6.1.1

New:

Fixes:

Sounds:

• Harpsichord sound is now fixed.
• Organ and Chorus sounds retuned. (Download the keyboard installer from your my.presonus.com account and install. Restart Notion. You may also need to force Notion to rescan the folder – go to Preferences>Audio>Locate and reselect the sounds folder).
• Release sound working better for short notes (an issue particularly noticeable with organ staccati).
• Drumset with unmeasured tremolo now responds to hairpins.

Studio One interop:

• Fix when exporting keyswitch data from Notion to Studio One – go to Tools>Use Rules and setup a rule with Keyswitches set to "Automatically send note-offs".
• Studio One launcher has been added to Send to Studio One dialog.
• User is prompted to save, if closing after Studio One file transfer and no other changes have been made.
• More space for text in Studio One dialog when in German.
• Note durations now reflect articulation (e.g. staccato) when sending note data to Studio One.

MIDI / MusicXML:

• Verse number is now being properly recognized when importing MusicXML.
• Fix occasional issue on MusicXML Export with hairpins.
• User is prompted to save, if closing after MusicXML or MIDI file import and no other changes have been made.
• Note durations now reflect articulation when exporting as MIDI.
• Changing MIDI channel in Change Instrument dialog now works as expected.
• Sequencer staff controller data now outputs on expected channel, not just channel 1.

Rules Editor:

• Fix when using Duration Change in Rules.
• Rules Editor dialog size now persistent when closing/reopening (Mac and Win).
• If having issues with smooth playback when using expression on external VSTi's or MIDI ReWire, choose a different expression channel to the Notion hairpin map in the Rules Editor. For VSTi's without velocity crossfade, you can also use the hairpin anchor in the Rules Editor – see Hairpin Anchor in the User Guide.

Video:

• Video window on Mac no longer blank when re-shown.

Notation:

• Bb and Eb instruments now go to the correct enharmonic key if in C#minor.
