Hi there! For the past three months, I've been working on an update to Kaivo, and it's finally time to roll it out. I've tuned up the audio engine, improved the graphics and spent many hours finding and fixing a whole host of minor UI issues that made people including me go "grrrr" sometimes.
Thanks as always for your support, and all the feedback you have sent my way about the 1.0 version. This 1.1 release is feeling buttery smooth here, and I hope it gives you many happy hours diving into sound.
Changes:
- over 50 new factory patches
- optimized DSP code (10-20% improvement)
- made demo reminder noise much quieter
- added a new audio import dialog
- trimmed and optimized source samples
- fixed a compatibility problem with Soundplane
- improved model sonics in high frequencies
- improved resonator tuning
- increased range of resonator damping parameter
- improved legibility of scope dials
- fixed a problem saving the window location
- fixed glitches in xy scope display
- improved typography
- improved granulator view speed
- fixed incredibly annoying disappearing menu issue
- fixed keyboard stealing issue in 64-bit VST
- added case-insensitive sort for patch menu
- fixed audio issues with body nonlinearity
- and many more minor fixes.
Special thanks for making this release happen go to Don Solaris, who generously contributed some great factory patches. (If you happen to have a Waldorf Blofeld, check out his excellent "Analog Voltage" patches at the Waldorf website.)
The new Import dialog is not reflected in the manual yet. But it should be pretty straightforward. In the future, I want to add some file combining magic here, but for now, it simply lets you pull up a file, listen to it, and it the file is longer than 8 seconds, pick the 8 second clip you want to import into Kaivo. If you have any questions, please stop into the forums and ask.
