Release notes for EZbass 1.0.4

EZbass 1.0.4 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the “My Products” area in your Toontrack account. Please note that version 1.0.4 is required for the support of EZbass products released from this point forward (Q2 2020).

NEW

Song Track

• The song track can now be exported as audio (WAVE).

Drums & Keys Tab

• Added a small flash animation upon loading MIDI.

Audio Tracker

• Some changes in the Session Setup help text in standalone.

BUG FIXES

General

• Short, fast slides in the Grid Editor or Tracker could sometimes end up not sounding at all.
• In some cases, certain MIDI blocks on the Song Track would become empty when a project was loaded.
• Sending CC9 into EZbass could sometimes cause unwanted pitching of notes.
• After locating a moved sound folder, EZbass would not load any sounds.

Song Track

• Using the cut tool on a MIDI block could cause a crash.
• Removing a song track tab could cause a crash.
• It was possible to use “Add/Edit Chord” on a Song Part rather than a MIDI block, causing EZBass to crash.
• Correcting a chord at the end of a resized MIDI block could lead to a crash.
• Quantizing a MIDI block reanalyzed and corrupted the chords in the block, leading to the transitions menu being disabled for that block.
• There was no undo event saved for quantizing a MIDI block.
• The current Song Part type wasn’t marked in the menu.
• In the time signature editor, dropping a time signature onto another replaces it with the dragged time signature.
• Auto-transitions would incorrectly transpose unquantized notes belonging to the next chord.
• The bass note of a chord could be transposed up too far when using octave in Edit Play Style.
• The Follow Host Off alert dialog would not show up if the GUI was closed when Follow Host was turned off. The Follow Host button was not updated either.
• Undo/redo of MIDI block changes could lead to a crash (for example if you split a chord block afterwards).
• Selecting song parts with marker rectangle didn’t count as changing selection in all regards – buttons didn’t enable, etc.
• In the tempo editor, tempos lower than 1 BPM or higher than 400 BPM can no longer be inserted by using the Increase/Decrease Tempo buttons.

Grooves Tab

• “Show in Browser” wasn’t working properly in all scenarios.
• Renaming a user MIDI folder caused the entire User MIDI library to be rescanned.
• Renaming a user MIDI folder caused favorites in that folder to be forgotten.
• User MIDI folders could end up flagged as “out of sync” due to having broken MIDI files inside the folder.
• The Tap2Find Drop Zone had multiple texts visible when dragging an empty MIDI file (looked weird).
• “New Project” now properly clears everything in Grooves Tab.

Grid Editor

• Increased the area where you can click to resize notes.
• The “Pitch” menu entry in the curve edit menu is now checked if any of the selected notes contains pitch bend information.
• The CC editor is faster now, especially with many nodes.
• The slide button was not enabled when selecting two consecutive notes of the same pitch, even though slides could be generated.
• Creating slides on events with other events closely following on the same note did not behave well.
• Some notes created with the slide button could be left behind when removing the slide with the same button.
• Adding dampening to a chord could in some cases create a ramp of dampening instead of a sharp jump.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when pressing escape in an empty grid editor.

Drums & Keys Tab

• Dragging MIDI while already having MIDI loaded will show the drop zone again.
• Sidestick wasn’t counted as snare when working with drum MIDI.
• When converting drum MIDI, bass notes would sometimes be added too close.

Audio Tracker

• The play button was not toggled on/off properly.
• Fixed a crash that sometimes happened while resizing slides.
• Adding transients onto a user-created slide now works as intended.
• Tracking additional articulations is no longer enabled in percussive mode.
• Disabling grace notes in the session setup does not require reanalysis for them to show up again – you can now enable them and they come back.
• The snap options in the Tracker are now more like in the Grid Editor.
• Changing the GUI scale caused the MIDI loop at the bottom to look empty.
• Changing the GUI scale caused the articulation view to close even though the show/hide button indicated that it was shown, and the articulation view would be impossible to open until a note was changed.
• It is now again possible to press “Cancel” when loading a file/recording into tracker.
• The piano roll height did not scale properly, causing problems with zooming, for example.

Standalone

• Fixed that audio input would not work in some cases.
