Synfire Pro Update 1.5.13
This is mainly a maintenance release with a number of bug fixes, MIDI export and user interface optimizations. If you are a Logic user, some very important fixes will make your life easier. We recommend updating at your earliest convenience.
Here's what else is new:
Feature Enhancements:
- There should be a progress indication when loading large files
- Add a warning if DAW transport is not linked
- Add a pre-roll when starting transport from current segment/symbol selection
- Reversing a figure now defaults to "reversed tape" behavior
- Add new instrument after current one (was: before)
- Warn if AudioUnit is used as MIDI Drone (only VST supports that to date)
- Added more comfortable "Select Private Sound" button to inspector
Resolved Bugs:
- Clicking an existing chord selection in a progression should unselect it
- Issues with drone audio, if guest plugin has 4, 8 or more outputs
- Issues with drone in Logic when Logic switches render buffer size
- Time ruler selections must not mess with a running DAW transport
- Instrument inspector: Inserting/replacing a device description had issues
- Crash when clicking into vector display of Interpretation parameter
- Spacebar unresponsive once after segment playback
- Force Legato had issues with polyphonic figures
- Fixed issues with selecting tracks through keyboard commands

- Eliminated "ghost loops" during figure editing
Other Changes:
- Drag & drop export: No longer require "Export" button to be pressed

- Reduced verbosity of optional parameter explanations
- Sometimes last take showed up as "REC" after loading a file
- Recording MIDI input from engine requires engine to be on local computer
- Minor streamlining with instrument inspector
- Misc graphics tweaks
