In the short two days since its release, I have served approximately eighteen pounds of tasty Aalto downloads! That's over two billion electron volts, or enough salted peanuts to circle the Earth three times! Thanks for your support and all the feedback and comments.
A few issues with 1.3.0 bear mentioning.
Automation incompatibility from previous versions
If you have set up automation curves in Logic or Live with 1.2.6 or a previous version, these curves will be lost in 1.3. Unfortunately most hosts save automation parameters only as indexes. So when adding parameters as I've done there's no good way to preserve older automation data.
I recommend you finish up old work with 1.2.6 or render tracks to audio before installing 1.3. It is also possible to rename the old VST file "Aalto126", and run both versions simultaneously while you make the switch.
Host sync issues in Logic
The new host sync divisions feature may cause drifting off the clock in (surprise, surprise) Logic. I thought I had this problem solved but apparently it still comes up sometimes. I'll be looking for a workaround. Ableton Live and Numerology should be very solid.
Window resize issues
The size of the newly resizable GUI is only saved when the DAW file is saved. Simply closing the Aalto window does not save the data. Since the host only asks for this data when it pleases, it's hard to see how to change this. I'll look for a workaround. In the meantime, just save your file to save the current window positions.
Also, Live does a weird thing with the AU version where it tries to smoothly fade the window size, resulting in glitches during resize.
Live 9 beta crashes
While Live 8 is working fine, I have reports that the Live 9 beta is crashing with Aalto. I've asked Ableton for the beta and will investigate as soon as I can.
Manual stuck in the past
The manual was last updated for version 1.2.6. I'll update it to reflect the 1.3.0 changes as soon as I have time.
If you find any more issues, please start a forum thread under software, or email them to support at madronalabs.com. That email just goes to me, since I'm the only one here, but it allows me to file it in the right place more quickly, so your help is appreciated.
