KarmaFX Synth Modular 1.0 [Release Candidate 2] changes. * Amplifier will now skip streams from input modules if amplification is 0 for more than half a second. This can reduce CPU load considerably, especially with polyphonic patches. This also means that patches will consume 0% CPU when not playing and the GUI is closed. * Tweaked synth engine performance and reduced vst dll sizes for faster loading. * GUI: Double clicking or Shift-clicking on a wire arrow now allows you to insert a module on this wire (Thanks Matthew). * GUI: Additive and Pad magnitude editor is now log scaled for easier editing. * GUI: Renamed all "Component" references to "Module" for consistency with the manual. * GUI: Optimized/rewrote all waveform and curve drawing routines. * GUI: Added antialised drawing support. The level of antialising is determined by the skin. * GUI: Added even better support for custom skins. Resource files placed in a subfolder inside the Skins folder will now be detected as a "raw" skin. * GUI: When using raw skins, hitting Ctrl-R will now reload the chosen skin. * GUI: Made minor edits to the default skin (colors and gfx). * Bugfix: Pos in Sampler was disabled by accident in v0.99. Fixed. * Bugfix: Stereo parameter in Pad module was bogus on first output sample. Fixed. * Bugfix: Sampler's sustain was broken when in stereo or when multiple keys were held in non-polyphonic mode. Fixed. * Bugfix: Clearing samples in Sampler while playing a polyphonic patch could crash the synth. Fixed. * Bugfix: Nasty interpolation bug in delay code caused some modules to overflow. Fixed. * Bugfix: Multiple connections to a bypassed module could return garbage. Fixed. * Bugfix: Midi control messages like Pitchbend etc. could confuse MidiTrig module. Fixed. * Bugfix: Portamento was broken in polyphonic mode. Fixed. * Bugfix: Fixed memory leak when replacing modules. * Bugfix: Fixed possible crash and memory leak when out of memory while loading samples. [new in RC2] * Bugfix: Arp could sometimes go out of sync in Pattern module. Fixed. [new in RC2] * Created a few new patches. Release Candidate expires November, 2007.
