Soundplane application v.1.0a1 is now available at the usual spot in the hardware forums.
This is a preview release, meant to give you a chance to use the new zone mapping features before version 1.0 is feature complete. You can edit zone maps using the JSON files directly, but not through the GUI.
Changes:
- new Zone features allow mapping notes and controllers to key grid
- changes to t3d format for wider OSC compatibility
- OpenGL accelerated graphics
- fixed graphics for Retina display
- fixed a bug where SoundplaneController was initialized twice
- fixed OpenGL errors on quit
- fixed a possible crash in adjustPeak()
- fixed note release when quantized
- new raw matrix output
NOTE: the t3d format has changed slightly for better compatibility with TouchOSC and other apps going forward. So this version will not work with the current version of Aalto. If you are currently on a big US tour or something, don't install it! An Aalto update for compatibility will be coming soon.
There are currently four types of Zones available: note rows, x sliders, y sliders, and xy sliders. All of these are shown in the zoneExample1.JSON map. More control types and many refinements are on the way, to be documented and rolled into version 1.0. So if you have ideas for controls you want, now is the prefect time to give feedback. The new Max/MSP example shows how to receive
I am calling this release 1.0a1 because it has a 1.0 feature set that is not complete. However, in my experience it is at least as stable as the previous version. If you don't need Aalto compatibility it should provide a solid platform for your MIDI or OSC-based work. Please send me any bug reports or feature requests by posting to the Hardware forum, or by email.
