Dear All
We've made two new software releases today, a new free 1.4 (1.4.12) which contains a number of bugfixes and 2.0.36 which has a number of new features and improvements.
The most immediately useful/exciting thing in this is probably the new Keygroup mapping editor, which makes defining your own Keygroups very easy and removes the need for Belcanto in that process. There have been quite a few other small changes in 2.0 and some wider structural changes to support fully independent physical and musical signal mappings throughout the system.
You can download the new 2.0.36 here and the new 1.4.12 here.
From the 2.0.36 release notes:
EigenD
▪ Testing and experimental releases no longer update the top level EigenD link in Applications on the Mac.
▪ EigenD now allows agents to coin their own words.
▪ New save button to save over the current setup, if it's not a factory setup.
▪ Now useless activation signals have been removed.
▪ StringEnum data type for small fixed choices, with dropdown support in
Workbench.
▪ Factory setups and Example setups are now separated into different top level
menus.
▪ Connect verb now has channel support.
The connection properties exposed by workbench can now be set in the Belcanto connect verb.
▪ Improved key group mapping.
-The key group now maintains completely separate mappings for musical and physical keys. Workbench supports this with a specialised editor.
▪ Workbench
- Keyboard shortcuts for tools.
- The property editor dialog for key groups now has a special editor for working with key group mappings.
The bugs fixed in 1.4.12 can be found listed in the release notes but include improvements to the sleep/resume behaviour, the Factory setup Alchemy load and the Keygroup mode key press dynamics.
Have fun..
