 Note
to owners of Sonar 3 Producer (OEM version "VSampler 3.0 DXi"):
The new
functions which are
marked yellow at all of the version history pages won't
be enabled when running VSampler with an OEM key. To release the
full power of VSampler 3.1 (and all future 3.x versions) those
extra functions can be added within a few minutes by
purchasing
the upgrade online. The complete list of advantages:
Why should I upgrade? |
|
added (Standalone version): ASIO-like low latency performance for DirectSound
soundcards: "Speedsoft ASIO" appears as new device in the list of
available ASIO soundcards (uses "Direct Kernel Streaming"), play around with the
settings of the ASIO control panel, for most soundcards a buffersize
of 256 samples and 3 buffers works fine |
|
|
added: "Switch Keys" (used to switch between
different sample sets, often used in .GIG files) are now visible as
red keys at the onscreen keyboard, 1st Switch Key now automatically
enabled to avoid the "no sound" problem with those files |
|
|
added Drag'n'Drop functionality (from Windows
Explorer) to Bank Manager and Import Window, you can now add
shortcuts to the Bank Manager this way, or preview the contents of a
soundbank file in the Import Window before adding some of them into
the Pool |
|
|
added: copy/paste function (context menu at the MIDI
channel slots) to copy a Multi incl. all of it's settings |
|
|
added easy MIDI remote control to the Compact View
(just as in Edit View, context menu at all knobs and faders) |
|
|
added to Pattern Sequencer: context menu to link or
unlink all sliders |
|
fixed: crash in Beta 3 when exchanging instruments
and in some other situations, especially while playback |
|
|
fixed in Pattern Sequencer: render to wav didn't work |
|
|
removed: "auto-trim" feature, which automatically
removed silence from the end of samples while loading them |
|
|
fixed: Beta 3 did not allow to do changes in "Sustain
loop" Start and End point edit fields |
|
|
fixed: when doing Copy&Paste of Zones in the Zones
View VSampler sometimes doubled the samples in memory instead of
re-using them internally as it normally does |
|
|
improved: Zone "Solo" switch (right side of the Edit
View Onscreen keyboard) now also works when playing an external MIDI
keyboard |
|
|
improved: SF2 export now ignores released trigger
samples, because the SF2 format doesn't support them anyway, and
playing them at Note On would make less sense than not playing them |
|
|
improved: SF2 export now converts VSampler
Poly-groups to SF2 exclusion-groups (aka "hihat groups") if
polyphony = 1 or "Exclusion Group" is checked |
|
|
fixed: doubleclicking the closed padlock icon could
cause an Access Violation |
|
|
fixed: crash in Bank Manager |
|
|
fixed: instrument templates didn't apply
filter-velocity curve correctly |
|
|
fixed GIG import: skipped Zones above b5 of East West
Bösendorfer 275 Piano |
|
|
improved Kontakt import |
|
|
improved Halion import |
|
|
fixed: crash when playing beat-sliced loops with
non-standard playback offsets |
|
|
fixed: Beta 3 "fatal bank load error" |
|
|
fixed: FX level knobs were not refreshed in Compact
View when enabling/disabling FX |
|
|
fixed: doubled instrument after Import (unnecessary
temporary instrument) |
|
|
improved "detect root key from filename" in WAV
Import Wizard (smarter) |
|
|
improved: setting Key-Range via MIDI now accepts
"wrong" order of Lo and Hi input |
|
|
fixed: drag'n'drop of multiple GIG files at once did
nothing |
|
|
fixed Akai CD import: wrong pitches of "Hans Zimmer
Guitars" |
|
|
fixed Akai CD import: empty instruments of "Soundscan
Vol 9 (Oldschool Keyboards)" |
|
|
fixed: Akai .AKP import: wrong volume envelope times |
|
|
fixed: GIG import, missing switch keys in some files |
|
|
improved: extended Zones settings "play Zone if" now
show in addition to the note numbers |
|
|
fixed: after manually creating a new zone and
assigning a sample to it the sample wasn't editable in the sample
editor (missing refresh) |
|
|
improved: more intuitive auto-scrolling when
drag'n'drop'ing instruments to the edge of the Instruments Pool |
|
|
fixed: Beta 3 didn't restore global MIDI remote
assignments |
|
|
fixed: crash when deleting the temporary preview
instrument while it plays |
|
|
fixed: switching Sample location between embedded and
linked (at the Samples page) sometimes didn't work |
|
|
fixed: problem with filter activation/deactivation
vs. applying filter settings for all zones |
