@composition-cassidy composition-cassidy released this 22 Aug 02:32

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
