DigiChain v1.5.1
Small-ish update, desktop standalone will be released from this version for beta testing towards the end of September - this will be distributed via Gumroad and itch.io, macOS will come first followed shortly by the Windows 11 build.
We have some basic Tonverk support in this release, using the multi-sampler format to hold the sample chains, I have set the default grid lengths in the common configurations to max out at 84 slices, as this uses only the 7 standard octave options without needing to dip into the Transposition to get to the first slice. I have a strong feeling the elmuti format will get expanded for what it is able to support over from the sfz open format and I'm noodling on a focused tool just for this, at least for my own use - this may or may not be made public at some point depending on how far along I get it.
List of changes:
- Added support for importing slice data from Ableton Simpler (supporting transient detected slices or manual slices depending on what was active when the .adv preset was saved).
- Additional changes toward desktop app support.
- New setting for Octatrack exports, "Use even numbered slices as loop point of prev slice on .ot exports?"; When this is set to YES, and the .ot file creation is set to YES, joined files are treated as pairs, with the first being the start (attack) part of the slice, and the second being the Octatrack (loop) part of the slice.
- Clear slice data selected action so all slice data can be cleared at once if needed.
- Cut/Paste action button on sample editor panel.
- Show sample play head on sample editor panel.
- FireFox support warning in header bar.
- When creating spaced chains, a new setting in the settings panel allows the pad to be set to repeat the last sample in the chain (the default setting), pad with silent slices, pad with a random slice from the current chain, or pad with reversed version of the samples in the chain starting from slice 1.
- Fixed position of header toolbar on settings panel; Fixed position of x close icon on all dialogs.
- Fixed custom chain names having double file extension, removed slice count append from custom chain names.
- Add Tonverk common configurations in audio settings panel.
- Added support for generating basic .elmulti Tonverk multi-sampler presets to act as slice chains.
- Fixes bug where turning seconds per file on, did not turn off spaced chain mode resulting in no chain download button being shown to the user.
- Changed the default naming convention for chain names to be shorter text and correctly pad the chain number when creating many chains at once.
- New option in the settings to use the date epoch at time of creation number instead of the name of the first sample in the chain.
Thanks to all those who submitted feature requests and bug reports, got a lot of long standing bugs squashed in this one!
