Version 0.0012 - 7/18/99

  • Added two distortions: Boost and Punch modes. Gain is ranging from 0 to +60 dB. Boost is a standard overdriven distortion (better for rich sounds), and Punch adds a lot of harmonics (for simple sounds). Two parameters adjust the punch tone.
  • New track commands applying mixing presets:
    • CAxx: Apply mixing preset on input tracks only. The command doesn't affect parameters of the current track.
    • CBxx: Same as CAxx, but without removing tracks (present in previous configuration but not in the preset).
    • CCxx: Same as CBxx, only affects input track volume
    • CDxx: Same as CBxx, only affects input track panning
  • Keyboard shortcuts:
    • Return: Play the line at cursor position
    • Shift + Return: Play pattern context (all the first notes from cursor postion up in the pattern)
  • Setting a track to solo will only mute the track of the same type, instead of muting all other tracks.
  • Delay between user actions and sound output has been drastically reduced on Win95/98 platforms.
  • Graoumf Tracker now supports Drag & Drop and command line for module loading.
  • Help button opens HTML manual.
  • Functions added to Undo/Redo scope.
  • Fixed exterminated memory corruption bug (could lead to a program hanging).
  • Fixed memory leak corrected in the display routines.
  • Fixed use of dry part of effect tracks which lead to a crash in certain cases.
  • Fixed dirty sound in resonant filters for a monophonic + (multiband or order > 2) configuration.
  • Fixed "Musical keyboard" bug: Sometimes, Graoumf Tracker continued to intercept keyboard striking when another application was set to foreground with Alt + Tab.
  • Preset display bug fixed.
  • 'P' key problem solved.
  • Fixed miscellaneous bugs in Mix menu.

Version 0.0011 - 7/8/99

  • Multiple level Undo/Redo functions, limited to pattern editing (Ctrl + Z/Y)
  • Keyboard language support (pressing 'Q' on a QWERTY keyboard will no longer produce an 'A')
  • Better XM compatibility - sample offset commands (9xxx, BAxx and BBxx) with null parameter reuse the last non-null param.
  • View configuration is stored in memory for each enevelope
  • Minor bugfixes

Version 0.0010 - 7/3/99

  • Improvements in click removal (especially in DSP effects).
  • 24-bit mixdown, adjustable quality
  • Pattern now scrolls while selecting a block with the mouse.
  • More keyboard shortcuts (Load/Save, blocks, etc...)
  • Fixed bug in player which caused a doubled volume on track 1 in mixdown rendering with High Quality enabled.

Version 0.0009 - 6/8/99

  • Windowed mode. It is the same interface as before, but running in a window.
  • Improved CPU consumption, especially when running in background.
  • Highlighted background for beat and bar lines in pattern display.
  • Possibility of running simultaneously multiple instances of Graoumf Tracker for module mixing.
  • Click removal. When a sample is played, and is cutting the previous sample played on the track, it may be a discontinuity between the tho curves. This produces a very audible click. The player is now able to detect the clicks and to fix the discontinuity. The same phenomenon occurs whith fast volume or panning changes.
  • Resonant filter: more stable, improved multiband mode, now accept up to 7 additional cells (maximum order is 16). The resonance level is now independant of the filter order.
  • Visible block selection, standard copy and paste operation with Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V.
  • Beginning of HTML documentation (in French)
  • Fixed display bug in fileselector (current directory display).
  • Bug in High-quality disk recording: samples played exactly 24 half-tones down had unwanted artifacts.
  • Fixed bug in parameter input for FX pattern editing.
  • When you switch an FX track in stereo, sometimes it switches back to mono. Fixed.
  • In the resonant filter, the 0217 command bypassed the LFO (and it shouldn't).
