Version
3.0 (with audio file support) is now available as an alpha
release. The old version 2.1.1 (which had VST support but no audio
file support) can still be had (from the “Download”
button on the left of the toad). In the new version there may be
some things left unimplemented and there is hardly any
documentation. But it is (basically) a working system and whoever
feels inclined to support development or just have a look at it
can download it below. Don't forget to send a report if something
should not work
(webmaster@spacetoads.com).
These are
the things the 2.1.1 version could do:
Record from
MIDI keyboards and play it back on internal VST plug-ins as well
as external MIDI synthesizers
Let the
user edit MIDI events via three different editors (Piano Roll,
Event List and Score)
Provide
Grid Quantization as well as Groove Quantization
Let the
user edit MIDI data with advanced tools like logical filters and
transformers
Host 16
VSTi instruments as well as VST effects
Provide
some build-in audio effects in addition
Record VST
parameters
These
are the things the 3.1 version can do no more:
And here's
what the new version can do the old one could not:
Integrate
Audio Clips into the MIDI score using an adaptive synchronization
scheme
Provide an
integrated Audio Editor with a lot of weird spectral processing
tools apart from the usual cutting stuff
Render MIDI
data through a build-in synthesizer frame with selectable
components
Support
different synthesis methods within this synthesizer frame:
Virtual Analog, Sampling, Wavetable, FM, Additive
Support
Just Intonation and Microtonality via an internal data base of
tunings and modes
Send MIDI
synchronization to other sequencers
Change the
groove of a track in real-time (the old version could do this
offline only)
To a
limited extent recognize polyphony while interpreting MIDI data
as a score in real-time
Optimize
the performance of the audio engine on dual-core and quad-core
CPU-s
