Radium

This release contains a few notable new features and a couple of bug fixes.

Most work has been put into the sampe player instrument this time. Most notable new feature is that it's now possible to define custom loop start and loop end positions:


New options in preferences for the sample player looping:


In addition, there's bug fixes for crossfade looping and ping-ping looping. Beware that these two bug fixes can make your song sound different (see changelog for details).

Sample-seek also works with looping now.

The other new feature worth mentioning is that the "Block lock" function (enabled by checking the padlock in the lower left corner) now works even when playing song.


Changes 6.5.79 -> 6.5.81:

• Mixer: Change function used when assigning
  keybinding to "Generate new color" in the popup
  menu. Before: generateNewInstrumentColor.
  Now: generateNewColorForAllSelectedInstruments.
• Editor: Don't pause player when scrolling up or
  down when current editor-block is not playing.
• Editor: Never let player change editor-block when
  a block is editor-locked.
• Editor: Tweak keybindings for general transposing.
  Now they only work when the editor has keyboard
  focus.
• Sequencer: Fix horizontal alignment for the name
  of seqtracks when the names are too large for the
  assigned space.
• Sampler instrument: Make sample-seek work with
  looping.
• Sampler instrument: Fix crossfade when the start
  of the loop is higher than 0.
• Sampler instrument: Add "AHDSR on/off" effect.
• Sampler instrument: Reorganize effect order a
  little bit.
• Sampler instrument: Fix ping-pong loop looping
  between loop start/end and not between the
  start/end of the sample.
• Sampler instrument: Make it possible to define
  custom start/end loop points.
• API: keepOldLoopWhenLoadingNewSample,
  setKeepOldLoopWhenLoadingNewSample,
  useSameLoopFramesWhenLoadingNewSample,
  setUseSameLoopFramesWhenLoadingNewSample.

Radium 6.5.82 released. Emergency release to fix most VST2 plugins only having one channel.

Changes 6.5.81 -> 6.5.82:

• Audio: Fix more than half of VST2 plugins being
  loaded as mono plugins, even when they are not.
  (The fix uses code written by falkTX.)
• Sequencer: Fix memory leak in automation painter.
• Sampler instrument: Display sustain value as dB.

This release also fixes VST3 plugins. VST3 plugins have the same problem, but it's not so visible since correct number of channels are displayed in the plugin manager.

Radium 6.5.83 released. Emergency release to fix reverse in the sample player instrument.

Changes 6.5.82 -> 6.5.83:

• Mixer strips: Set max width of a strip.
• Mixer strips: Pack strips to the left if the
  strips can't fill all available horizontal space.
  Instead of spreading them out evenly, that is.
• Sequencer: Keep track on/off and fade data when
  replacing block or audiofile in seqblock.
• Sampler instrument: Fix playing reverse sample in
  non-looping mode.
• Plugins: Fixes displaying correct number of
  channels for VST2 plugins in the plugin manager.

Radium 6.5.84 released. Emergency release to fix crash when pressing the "S" button in the mixer when the sequencer is in "Full" mode.

Changes 6.5.83 -> 6.5.84:

• GUI: Don't crash when pressing the "S" button in
  the mixer and the sequencer is in full mode.
• GUI: General fix to prevent program from crashing
  if going into an endless recursive loop.
• Sequencer: Remember current seqtrack when undoing
  and redoing.
• Sequencer: Remove flickering when undoing and
  redoing.
• Build: Fix compiling Pd using gcc/clang 10+
  (Teteros).
• Mixer strips: Fix width of the arrow separating
  non-bus and bus strips.
