XLETH 1.2.2-Beta

Packaging bug resulted in a frozen & broken splash screen.

XLETH 1.2.1-Beta

This is by far the most drastic release I've made. Enjoy!

Timeline & Navigation

• All engine-side conversion now routes through RenderClock instead of inline duplication
• Timeline scrolling is now smoother
• New auto-scroll option for the timeline
• Resource-friendly smooth scrolling for both timeline and piano roll
• Loop region on the timeline now only occupies the top half
• Replaced the old slider-based Zoom/Pan/Rotate with a "camera lens editor"
• Right-click a pattern to create a unique copy for variations
• New shortcut: Click a clip, hold Shift, then click elsewhere to select the area between them
• Shift+Drag now conformed to global snapping
• Scroll wheel shortcuts changed:
  • Scroll wheel: scroll up/down
  • Shift + scroll wheel: scroll left/right
  • Ctrl + scroll wheel: zoom horizontally
  • Alt + scroll wheel: zoom vertically

Track & Mixer

• Track headers now use bolder colors; pattern/clip types are shown as simple icons (piano for patterns, waveform for clips)
• Double-clicking a track header pans over and focuses to the track on the Mixer
• Automation clips now work with stock effects (previously limited to Macro knobs)
• Hold Last Frame now clamps to avoid extending across the entire track

Plugins & Effects

• All plugins now share a consistent design with the rest of XLETH
• Finished Filter, UniFlange, and Phanjer
• Added a preset system
• Updated FX Graph visuals and interaction
• Added LFO Modulator to the Node Graph
• Added loudness detection and normalization for YouTube
• You can now save FX chains as shareable .json files and copy-paste them across mixer tracks

New Plugins

• APEX: multiband compressor (similar to FL Studio's Maximus)
• GLOSS: companion plugin to APEX
• XLETH Filter: Basic & advanced filter effects with built-in modulators
• UniFlange: Flanger version of chorus
• Phanjer: Import of my first VST plugin, a seamless Phaser+Flanger combo

Sampler (this one is the biggest!)

• Multi-slot support
• Precomputed time-stretching and pitch-shifting
• Preview monitoring: hear samples raw or through their assigned track(s) during preview
• Per-note effects
• Envelope, LFO, Velocity, and Note-based modulation for any knob
• Legacy projects using the old sampler will convert automatically

Piano Roll

• Snap to Scale
• Shift + pitch shifting now transposes by ±12 semitones
• Selecting multiple notes and adjusting velocity affects all selected notes

Appearance

• Slightly adjusted clip contrast for readability
• Thicker scroll bars and sliders
• Fixed brightness adjustment in Settings > Appearance; text is now readable at higher brightness values

Bug Fixes

• Copying and pasting large numbers of clips and patterns no longer creates gaps or imprecise positioning
• Trimming stretched clips now works as expected
• Samples in mono no longer break alternate notes when all are placed consecutively in time
• Transient Processor now applies sustain for MIDI
• Dragging clips between tracks now works reliably (duplication via Shift+drag or copy-paste was unaffected)
• Quick notation now fully chops 32nd notes
• Deleted effect instances no longer leave stale open windows
• FX Graph no longer hardcodes EQ parameters to bands 0-3 only
• Modulation window for base and depth no longer appears off-screen when FX Graph is windowed
• "BehindGrid" fullscreen layers are no longer forced to have "Hold Last Frame" enabled
• Fixed a preview FPS regression caused by wasted blocking decodes

UI

• Changed knob style on all effects to be more consistent.
• Redesigned stock Dynamic effects
• Audio and Video are now split into two different headers.
• Revamped Timeline & FX Node Graph's function

Bug Fixes

• Plate reverb was ear-bleeding, and the entire reverb system was awful. So the entire thing was reworked
• Undo/redo and copy-pasting short cuts occasionally did not work, notably on the timeline and piano roll
• Opus codec would not work, especially when using the Discord rendering feature
• Brightness configuration under Appearance didn't work

New Features

• You can now export (.mov only) and swap a sample's video to another the same way you would for a sample's audio.
• New video effects: Chroma Key, Outline, and Drop Shadow
• Auto-looping samples via sampler
• Hold Last Frame now has a threshold
• "Snapshots" for visuals that allow different grid/fullscreen layer configurations
• Transition effects when going from one snapshot to the other
• Macro + automation

To be fixed/implemented soon:

What's Here & What's Special

Video-synced engine

• Video flipping is completely autonomous, and you only have to setup the style of it
• Multi-cell visuals are easily flexible with your workflow

Pitch & time-stretching algorithms

• Access to WORLD vocoder, RubberBand, Phase Vocoder, TD-PSOLA, WSOLA for whatever you need

The best sample-to-melody workflow

• Split up your syllables easily with the Syllable Splitter, and draw them out on the timeline or use the quick notation to lay out your samples on a whim
• Double clicking your source video to unlock the sample picker to sort all your samples easier than ever

Exporting

• More understandable control over your desired quality of the video, whether you are exporting to post online or just to send previews to friends.
• Proxy transcoding to smoothly edit any heavy video files

** FL Studio Score (.fsc) files are fully supported for importing to the piano roll. VST3 plugins are supported, although they still need some extensive work.

Beta notice: This is a first public beta. Expect rough edges. VST3 plugin hosting requires 64-bit plugins in standard VST3 directories.
