1.35 (3 February 2006) - Current Version

New Features:

  • Spline interpolation = better sound quality
  • Zero dB line in slicer
  • improved the grid / event display:
  • gui opens faster
  • Improved tolerance for erroneous wav files
  • selecting a parameter now terminates the current shift+LMB selection
  • shift+LMB selecting a slice deselects the current parameter to indicate
    that parameter values cannot be changed.
  • the delete buttons now work as normal windows buttons (if you release the
    mouse outside the button, no action is taken

Fixes: 

  • display was not updated on end recording - fixed
  • snap function now sets the pitch envelope value within +- 1 octave), and is saved with the song
  • freeze when randomizing two events bug fixed
  • skipping slices in ACID / Directixer fixed
  • the note divisions for the triplets are now correct
  • sometimes slices were inserted at a wrong position - this has now been
    fixed.
  • you can now disable the "include loops in songs and banks" feature
  • Fixed problems with loading a large number of wave files
  • grid snap values are restored correctly
  • file browser now scrolls with the same speed regardless of the number of
    files in the current directory
  • always delete the first loop bug fixed
  • double triggering when changing arranger durations bug fixed
  • skipping events when sequencer loop was shorter than liveslice loop bug
    fixed
  • fixed a bug in the wave file preview code

1.3 (16 December 2005)

new features / changes:

  • Live input recording - record loops from your tracks for instant liveslicing of any sequenced materia, or use LiveSlice as an effect
  • Drag'n'Drop slices to tracks
  • Preview slices in the arranger
  • Midi through
  • Loops can now be renamed and saved with a different filename
  • When a loop is not found on disk (ie a new recording) it is automatically saved with the song
  • New feature: stretch – automatically pitches all events to make the duration match the project tempo
  • Manual sync will now override host sync information (workaround for hosts that provide incorrect sync info)
  • Zoom / Pan is now activated on double click
  • Clicking middle mouse button on a parameter will reset (before it would clear the event underneath)
  • Manual updated

bugfixes:

  • fixed a bug in the file browser that could lead to crashes
  • fixed problem with some controls not responding when running multiple instances of LiveSlice

1.25 (28 November 2005)

new features:

  • Manual sync will now override host sync information (workaround for hosts that provide incorrect sync info)
  • Zoom in slicer improved. Reduced the general wobblyness, and eliminated the need to hold down right mouse button to zoom

bugfixes:

  • Quantize would allow overlapping events
  • Fixed tempo problem in Sonar using DirectiXer
  • Slices were not reversed in the gui
  • Loop output settings are now cleared on "clear all"
  • First event in a track would have too high attack and release
  • Snap no longer affects "lock to loop"
  • Error checking when importing cue-points as slices (fixes "silent slices" and "wrong slice num. reported" bugs)
  • Setting a midi controller to event and then to track mode caused the parameter to stop responding
  • Manual sync would sometimes cause double triggering of the first event
  • Gridlines going solid bug fixed

1.22

  • Fixed crashes when triggering empty arrangements and using manual sync

1.2 (18 November 2005)

new features:

  • Clear button to clear arrangements and / or loops
  • trigger individual slices from arranger tracks - this means you can use all the parameters when midi triggering.
  • configurable maximum attack and release times (up to 1 second)
  • Zoom by dragging in the slicer (hold down both mouse buttons)

bugfixes:

  • When a file has been loaded, it is deselected in the browser so it can be reloaded
  • When you load only slices, the fileName is not changed
  • event durations visualized properly in the gui, when attack and release times are changed
  • track parameters are now redrawn properly on midi control changes
  • midi note off messages handled incorrectly in controllers - fixed
  • fixed problem with triggering and quantizing empty tracks
  • other fixes to secure even greater stability and compatibility

1.12 (9 November 2005)

new features:

  • Grid is now drawn on top of events
  • Events can be moved past their neighbours
  • Events can no longer be hidden behind other events - use tracks for layering events
  • When snap is activated, new events are inserted at the nearest available snap interval, without needing to hold down control.
  • Tracks have "snap" activated as default
  • Snap now moves back instead of moving to the closest interval

bugfixes:

  • save function enabled (was disabled by mistake)
  • fixed problem with very rapid pan changes
  • corrupted ini file crashing liveslice fixed
  • "grouping slices" problem solved

  • minor gui glitches fixed

1.1 (4 November 2005)

new features:

  • horizontal zoom in slicer
  • save slices and tempo info as acidized loop (saves directly in the wave file)

  • grid in arranger - so you can find your way
  • bpm detection and acid import improved
  • faster audio import and improved coloring
  • middle mouse support (works as CTRL+RMB, that is: delete)

The free demo has the following limitations:

  • When you reload a song all the loops are replaced by a demo loop (built into the plugin).
  • The default loop path is not saved
This means you can use the demo to do a complete song as long as you use just the one loop. There are no silences or noises, no time limitations or lacking features.
