Release notes for EZbass 1.0.9

EZbass 1.0.9 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the “My Products” area in your Toontrack account. Please note that version 1.0.9 is required for the support of EZbass products released from this point forward (Q2 2021).

CHANGES

Bass Tab

• Clicking a note and dragging along the string now generates a slide.

BUG FIXES

General

• The master volume was erroneously reset when certain factory presets in EZbass expansions were loaded.
• The master volume was erroneously stored in and read from user presets. It is now only saved in project save files.

Sound Engine

• Playing the bass while sounds were loading could sometimes result in too loud samples being played.
• Some MIDI sequences could sometimes leave a note ringing, eventually causing EZbass to freeze and/or crash. Bouncing would sometimes crash due to this bug.
• Slides played with the Slide Down and Slide Up keys (F0 and G0) could sometimes be interrupted by other MIDI events and not terminate properly, resulting in a bad slide.
• The time limit to play a grace note on a MIDI controller is now 40 ms instead of 30 ms, making them a bit easier to trigger.
• Improved the slide scratch algorithm.

Bass Tab

• A slide up the bass stopped the string animation instead of making it follow the slide.

Grid Editor

• If a grace note was selected, the grace note options in the articulations menu were incorrectly grayed out.

Song Track

• Cutting a MIDI block in the middle of a slide would leave the slide property on the note and that could lead to a crash in the grid editor.

Edit Play Style

• After changing only Damping (and not Amount) on a song block, saving and loading the project would remove all notes from the song block.
