What's new

v1.1 [Nov 26, 2014]
Features:
- Live-sets allow to create collections of documents (ex: songs) and recall them easily during the concert performance
- Live-sets are stored as .RPS files and are created and edited with the new live-set manager window
- Live-set individual documents can be recalled by a unified keyboard or MIDI mapping in direct-select or select validate modes
- Added modules tree in patch mode allows to create modules faster (drag and drop or double-click)
- Search bar in modules tree narrows down the displayed list when characters are typed
- Added "notes velocity" internal MIDI effect allows to create velocity layers and splits (as well as creative velocity compression/expansion/noisegating effects)
- Magnetic patching makes audio link creation in patcher quick and effortless, by just moving modules close to each others to add new links
Minor modifications:
- Virtual screens can be re-ordered by drag'n'drop directly from the "dispatch" dialog (same behaviour as the screen switcher floating bar)
- Clicking on the recorder peak display when not recording now resets the peak value
- When switching live-sets documents with a controller, selection is displayed in ticker ( option to disable)
- Documents (live files) can now have a title distinct from the file name (title is editable in the "info and latency" dialog)
- Modules tree can be displayed or hidden via the "Patch" menu
- When draging audio links in patcher the link now snaps to the closest target when closing in
- Clicking on an audio pin in patcher with a keyboard modifier key pressed disconnects that pin
- Magnetic patching can be enabled and disabled using the "patch" menu
- Added visual feedback of the outcome when patching multiple pins at once in patcher using keyboard modifier key
- Selecting multiple links with mouse plus keyboard modifier key in patcher is less tedious (previously any off-click would lose the selection)
Bug fixes:
- Presets box GUI control did not enforce presets port custom upper bound
- After a quick keyboard mapping cinematic, keyboard mapper could become enabled while in patch mode (mappings are normally enabled only in edit mode)
- "Decrement" MIDI mapping type could produce incorrect control values sometimes
- When starting the main window looked maximized but was not completely maximized
