9.0.0

Release date:

New features:

• Sampler

  • Record straight onto a pad, with a metronome that counts in at the song's
    tempo; the take is trimmed to start on the downbeat
  • Recording works before the project is saved; the take is written out
    beside the project on save
  • Auto-trim and Crop to trim on a pad's context menu
  • Normalize brings a pad's peak to -6 dBFS without touching the file
  • The pad envelope is AHDSR with a Curve control; saved pads are unchanged
  • Chromatic pads can be put on any note, so a bass's four strings can sit a
    fourth apart instead of being stretched an octave each
  • A Mono switch per pad, beside Loop
  • Stereo level meters beside the wave view
  • An empty pad says how to fill it, and a take shows its length as it runs

• Drum Synth V2

  • A second Drum Synth to build on; the original is untouched
  • An AHDSR amp envelope per voice, off by default
  • Crash, Ride, Snare and the three toms fitted to recordings of the hardware
  • A Rim voice on C#3, with a Click control
  • Reverse Crash is the crash run backwards
  • Tune only ever brightens the cymbals
  • A waveform view with a playhead and the amp envelope laid over it

• The Drum Synths look like the rest of the application

  • Accent-coloured section headings, rounded pads, and the sections in
    columns beside the pads

• Speech

  • Four more voices: Giant, Elder, Alien and Monster
  • Sing a line across a melody: a note played while another is held moves
    the pitch instead of speaking the next line, with Portamento between them

• Gate, Bit Crusher, Flanger and Tremolo effects

  • Gate doubles as a downward expander, with Range and Hold

• Sends per Sampler pad and per Drum Synth voice

  • A pad or voice reaches the send buses on its own, so one drum can sit in
    the reverb while the rest of the kit stays dry
  • One effects dialog per device, with Insert and Sends tabs

• Reference monitoring and headphone crossfeed

  • Reference plays the mix as Car, Club, Phone, Laptop, Hall, Boombox,
    Earbuds, TV or Nearfield; neither is ever printed into a render

• Analyse any audio file, and compare two

  • Tools => Analyse audio files...; the chart draws the difference between
    the two balances

• Transpose a track or a column in all patterns at once, in one undo step

• A Rate Divider of up to 64 on the Auto Panner

• The Synth's Multi Engine has a Noise tab of its own

• The oversampling is in the render's file name

• Embedded samples are stored as FLAC, about half the size

Bug fixes:

• Audio devices are listed again with RtAudio 6, and stream failures are
  reported instead of playing or recording silence

• Unticking "Embed wave data" no longer loses the samples

• Track and Column transpositions transpose drum tracks too

• The Stereo Field Meter and the RTA no longer freeze on a silent device

• The Auto Panner's rate readout matches the rate it pans at

• A Speech line no longer drawls on when nothing ends its note

• Speech's Line mode works in a render as well as in playback

Other:

• The Device Rack lists the tracks a Sub Mixer carries
