Version 2.2.0 - Blackcap (a very smooth singer)
A major feature is the revision of the PadSynth engine including a new mode
control in 'Settings' giving 'Muted', 'Background' and 'Auto-Apply'
* 'Muted' is the old form where the part is disabled while the wavetable is
being built.
* 'Background' (the new default) allows you to continue using the existing
wavetable until the new one is built, then makes it available to apply - this
will then be done seamlessly.
* 'Auto-Apply' as the name suggests will seamlessly apply the wavetable once it
is ready.
In the Padsynth engine itself there is a new control allowing you to set how
long it takes for the new wavetable to fade in. This can be up to 60 seconds.
Also, there is a New experimental 'Retrigger' window with various morphing
controls. The retrigger control itself set the time when a regeneration will
take place. At this time the other controls will be applied by a random amount
between zero and the control setting. With a retrigger time of around 500mS and
small values set for the other controls, there will be minor changes to the
wavetable giving subtle 'movement' to the sound. Larger values can be used for
specific and more abrupt effects.
In the main window there are Undo/Redo buttons for comprehensive Undo/Redo
operations. We've had to make some changes to the main window layout to
accomodate those sensibly. At the same time we took the opportunity to make
other changes that had previously been requested.
* A new control allows you to set an internal Midi Clock over a wide range if
Yoshimi can't see an incoming one - useful for synced LFOs.
We've swapped over the positions of the MIDI channel spinbox and the checkbox
for enabling the part, and this is more obviously an on/off control.
* The instrument selector button is now far more obviously a button, and with
an editable core.
* The Edit button is now the same colour as all the other buttons, making it
more obvious.
There has also been a very thorough revision of our documentation, including
the Advanced Reference Manual.
Not forgetting, the usual bugfixes and minor detail enhancements.
