Version 3.1

  • Primarily a maintenance release wíth minor interface and documentation updates.

Version 3.0

  • The user interface has been completely redesigned and rewritten, exploiting improvements in CPU speed and Windows resource management.
  • Most of the functions which used to reside in the MIDI dialog are now directly accessible from the main window. The MIDI dialog is now only used to select MIDI input device.
  • The graphic keyboard has also been moved to the main window, together with "mousepad" controls which replace the old sliders and allow you to control two parameters at a time with the mouse (you can still remove keyboard and controllers from your sight simply by resizing the main window).
  • The new PRG editor allows multiple selections and copy/paste operations. Even better, it has been integrated with the WAV viewer, making patch creation and editing much faster. No more switching between PRG and WAV windows: you can now edit sample positions the same way as envelope settings, both graphically and numerically.
  • All windows are now resizable. The low resolution screens still found on some laptops are no longer a problem - even VGA will do.
  • PRG filenames are now automatically translated to instrument names and displayed on the Mellosoftron's instrument pads. Even better, the translation table is fully user-definable and can be edited with any text editor (e.g. Windows Notepad). The default table is in the file ML.INS in the Mellosoftron's directory. You can override it by putting a file with the same name in the current PRG directory (this allows you to provide a unique instrument name table for each PRG directory you create). You can also edit the default table.
  • The alphanumeric keyboard mapping is now user-definable. German-language users with QWERTZ-type keyboards and others who wish to change the notes assigned to each key can easily do so by editing the file ML.KCT in the Mellosoftron's directory. This too is a plain text file.
  • The Mellosoftron now has 16 MIDI-controlled resonant filters (one for each instrument pad), fully compatible with WAVmaker's filter implementation. Since filtering is computationally intensive, you can enable/disable each filter separately at any time. The MAP file format has been extended to include this information too, so the Mellosoftron will remember which filters are active in your MAPs.
