Space Toad MIDI Sequencer Version History Notes

 

1.0.1:

-          Bugfix: List Editor was unstable. Seems to be OK now

-          Inserting events from the List Editor does not automatically bar-align these events any more (except for time signature changes, that always must be bar-aligned)

-          Two more options: "Use Program Names" & "Chase Events"

 

1.0.2:

-          Main editor windows are no more brought to the forefront by merely clicking somewhere into their display. This forced users to do a lot of unnecessary window switching. Now editor windows are brought into focus only when their system bar is selected.

 

1.0.3:

-          Bugfix: improved loopback detection mechanism. Doesn't crash anymore, when user connects input and output with the same virtual cable.

-          A real time display was added to the Transport Panel

-          MIDI Thru (outputting of incoming events) is optional now

-          Meta events are now automatically deselected before Logical Filter is applied

-          Changes to MIDI data did not become immediately audible after some drag & drop operations. Now they do.

 

1.0.4:

-          Bugfix: killed a REALLY EVIL bug, that made the program crash when exporting MIDI files 

 

1.0.5:

-          Support for Sysex events added

-          Bugfix: 'Fixed Length' menu option now does what it says

-          Bugfix: 'Save' option can no longer produce wrong file name extensions, even if no file name has been specified

 

1.0.6:

-          Bugfix: Improved playback stability on multi-processor systems (hopefully)

-          Added some features for more powerful event drawing including two new mouse modes

-          Bugfix: Drawing now always produces correct shapes, even if cursor is dragged backwards. Channel Pressure drawing now possible.

-          Creation of loops is now very easy (through modified operation carried out by 'Size Part')

 

1.1.0:

-          Quantization is now virtual (so notes can be de-quantized individually at any time with no need to access the "Undo"-memory)

-          "Visual Swing & Accentuation Designer" added

-          Five global edit operations were added

-          "Length Quantize" and "Fixed Length" now adapt themselves to meter changes

-          Smart Time Signature editing algorithm. Time Signatures can now be inserted directly from the time bar with a special dialog

-          Bugfix: Can now be started without MIDI In installed

 

1.1.1:

-          Internal timing was changed and is less strict now. MIDI output to slow external ports doesn't result in "Time out" errors any more.

-          Bugfix: Last MIDI device list entry could not be selected (this only happenend in 1.1.0 version).

 

1.1.2:

-          Bugfix: SEVERE bug in the new timing system of Version 1.1.1., which slowed playback down and made the program occasionally crash, seems to be gone now.

-          Bugfix: Large SysEx dumps eventually made the program crash, while one was trying to edit them. This is fixed now.

-          Automatic Mixdown & Automatic Remix feature added.

 

1.1.4:

-          Will now supposedly run on older AMD processors, too.

-          Bugfix: Virtually quantized notes exhibited strange behavior under several circumstances.

-          Bugfix: "Freeze Track Parameters" forgot to freeze velocity.

-          Bugfix: Some issues with length operations are fixed now.

-          Bugfix: Loopback detection sometimes triggered, when it shouldn't.

-          New internal storage system. Editor functions (especially "Mixdown" & "Remix") are much faster now.

-          More reliable "Default Parameter" recognition when importing Standard MIDI files.

-          Support for different output ports added.

-          Multiple-step "Redo"-function added.

-          "Delete Overlaps" function added.

-          Improved, more user-friendly editing system for List Editor (including a special "audition" feature).

 

1.1.5:

-          Bugfix: Velocity can no longer drop to zero by freezing parameters.

-          Bugfix: Save option now correctly remembers last load-path.

-          Bugfix: Swing Designer now operates on the range described in the manual (1 large square = 1/4)

-          Additional MIDI Ports are now remembered between sessions.

-          Bugfix: Automatic deletion of redundant non-channel events works again as it should.

-          Ten "reload" slots for recently loaded STF-Files added.

-          Track Parameters have their own window now (so user can keep them always visible on the screen). This window is accessible via right-click on the VU meter display (which previously did nothing).

-          Now windows of last sessions are automatically restored after restarting the application.

 

1.1.6:

-          Bugfix: Note lengths are no longer overwritten when recording from an external keyboard

-          Bugfix: Track channels are now exported, too

-          Bugfix: No more problems with wrong channel information in output (this bug seems to have appeared in 1.1.5 version only)

 

1.1.7:

-          Bugfix: Danger of a deadlock when "Chase Events" was run on slow output ports  has been averted

-          Bugfix: Overlapping notes are now correctly interpreted after re-import of exported Standard MIDI files

-          Bugfix: Program now also sets Parameters of the Master Track correctly after loading an STF file

-          Bugfix: Track Parameter Window closes, before Tracks are deleted (so program won't crash, as it previously did)

-          Extra menu for determination of the length of drawn events was added to the Piano Wndow

 

1.2.0:

-          Bugfix: SysEx events crashed the program while exporting then and refused to play back

-          Bugfix: Rare crash in List Editor averted

-          Bugfix:: "Save" option eventually ignored its path

-          Track Parameter Window now always focusses selected track

-          Recordings can now be undone as advertized in the manual

-          2 new Track Parameters were added

-          Some Track Parameters are now recordable

-          "Logical Interpolator" Feature was added

-          "Single Track Import & Export" Feature was added

 

1.2.1:

-          Bugfix: Better stability when MIDI output becomes overloaded

-          Groove Quantize function was improved

 

1.2.2:

-          Bugfix: Items from the reload list could only be loaded after opening them once more

-          MIDI in and MIDI out monitor added to the frame window

-          Edit loop playback had little time gaps between loop cycles in previous versions. Now edit loops play back seamlessly.

-          Loop Locators were turned off during recording in previous versions. Now they stay turned on, making MIDI overdubbing possible

 

1.2.3:

-          Bugfix: Quicksave option works again

-          Bugfix: Crash while looping back to bar 0 no more occurs (this seems to have crept in version 1.2.2)

-          Some navigation shortcuts added

 

1.2.4:

-          Virtual Keyboard keys now work as with a real keyboard (concerning black & white keys)

-          Bugfix: Now MIDI In monitor appears on screen, too

-          MIDI-Thru now outputs on the selected track, not on the Master Track, as before

-          Bugfix: Delay parameter value is now correctly given in musical time, not in milliseconds, which was wrong

-          Some more shortcuts

-          (.1) Bugfix: Piano Window Snap & Length crashed when set manually. Fixed now.

 

2.0.0:

-          Now with VST support (finally!!)

-          Integrated help added (HTML & tooltips)

-          A lot of little pictures

-          Nicer looking piano keys

-          Track display now moves along with selected track

-          Panic Reset added

-          Controls can be reset to default with a right-click

-          Pre-Pentium4 compability has been given up. These wouldn't work with 64-bit audio processing anyway.

 

2.0.1:

-          3-band EQ and three more local effect slots added for each audio channel

-          CPU guards now require two consecutive breaches of time limit to trigger (instead of only one which was too severe)

-          AUX effects now replace their inputs - that's definitely more useful

-          Bugfix: Detector for stuck plugins sometimes triggered erreneously (so program was forcibly quitted without reason). It won't do that anymore.

 

2.1.0:

-          Score Editor & 14 build-in audio effects added

-          "Time Stretch" & "Delete Doubles" feature added

-          Bugfix:  MIDI devices sending KeyOn with Velo=0 instead of  KeyOff now will now be recorded correctly
