Lots more fixes. I've only got about a dozen things to review/fix/tweak before I push this to release candidate status...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Numerology 2.2b3 Release Notes:

MIDI Reflection Preference:

There is now a preference to turn on "reflection" of learned MIDI CC's. When this is on , then anytime a param that has learned a CC changes, then that CC value is sent to *all* MIDI outputs, except Numerology's virtual ports and IAC busses. I know
that sounds a bit coarse, but that is because the learned param is stored by CC number and MIDI channel, that way, if change a MIDI controller from one port to another, you don't loose the learned MIDI messages.

A known issue: if you have renamed any of your IAC busses such that they do not contain the letters "IAC", then you will probably get a feedback loop. I'm still looking in the MIDI API to determine how to accurately identify IAC busses other than by name.

Misc Fixes & Updates:

- Better support in all cases for "extended" characters, i.e. accent marks, umlauts, etc.

- AudioSample: fixed a bug where speech samples were not always loaded properly.

- AudioSample & DrumKit : Fixed a bug where samples would not play if you had been sending MIDI notes to these modules before loading samples.

- The PolyNote GridHeight is now properly saved and loaded.

- Fixed a display error in the DrumSeq whereby the top row of sliders was cropped.

- Fixed a crash that would happen if you set the start step and end step the same, then used the "Skip One" menu option in the skip menu.

- Fixed an internal notification issue that could cause start or end steps to show as skipped even though they were not internally.

- Stack comments are now copied when a stack is duplicated.

- Fixed a display bug related to sequencers with presets where the sequence length changes.

- Fixed a display error with CV and MIDI Switch modules.

- Fixed a bug related to entering negative fractional values with the "Number Box"

- You can now use the minus key to "negate" values in a Number Box at any time.

- Fixed a scaling bug in the SignalProc module.

- Fixed a discrepancy between the Main and Alt master faders in the mixer.

- Main and Alt volume levels in the mixer are now saved/loaded with projects.

- Fixed a low-level memory-management bug.

- Fixed a CC scaling bug with MIDI CC Reflection and the Modulation Seq

- MIDI Meters now properly display NRPN and RPN events.

- In the MonoNote, Interval and ModulationSeq, when MIDI CC's have been learned for sequence values, changes to the sequence values via MIDI CC are now quantized when approprite.

- Fixed a crash in the AudioSample that would occur when loading audio files with exactly 4096 samples.

- Audio Units : better handling of AU's that have unusual characters in their component descriptions.

A couple of familiar ones there, thanks for the fixes!

I should probably be careful not to throw away current versions of important projects, as that minor scaling bug in the SignalProc module in particular may be easy to overlook but hard to track down if you don't spot them immediately, e.g. in stacks that are switched off.

Awesome!! I'm going to kill a bunch of S&H modules immediately! :D

fantastic! now that I see that list of bugs, I realize I'm not crazy. :) I just thought my projects were getting out of control. Seriously thanks, and can't wait for 3.0 pro...

Hello,

I think i experience all the bug of your program combine with all the Ableton 8 mega collections of bug ,i have to say that i'm pretty tied of that system ;you compete to have the best sofware with all the crazy possibility ,fine but please take your time to release something who's working!!!
I had version 2.2 ,no speech fonction (yes i'm using it!!) then because i'm using silent way ,find out (after hour going crazy!!) that is not working and need to upgrade to 2.2.1 ,ok but then problem again ,had to upgrade to 2.2.2 then again find out there was no pitch glide show on your video.Again...find out there was a 2.2.3 ...and now my problem is that i cant change the audio pref even after restarting the program like it said...
I'm tied...
Your program is by far the best step sequencer ,no question about it ,maybe i was not lucky and the fact i'm not an expert make it worse for me but people have to admit that the system is going crazy.
Company release unfinish products and create forum to solve problem ,save time and money.
Miss my atari...
One more thing ,having to buy version 3 just to have the undo...common give us a 2.5 ,stable with undo function.
Hope you understand.
Thank's.
Stephan.

I think he was just adding features in those new releases. Maybe he accidentally omitted stating in the videos that you needed a certain version?

Although undo seems like a basic function, I bet it is a huge task to tackle in a program like this if it has not already been implemented.

I used an aggregated device for audio(MOTU mk2 and metric halo)
IT was working with 2.2.2.
Thank's.

I can't quite tell from all this exactly what problems you are having. It looks like you are having trouble changing the audio device, is that correct? If so, then email me the Numerology log after changing the pref and restarting (~/Library/Logs/NumerologyLog.txt). Please email me with any bug reports. It is much easier for me to track them via email rather than spread out across the forum.

Undo is difficult to to well. It is pretty easy for the simple case (changing a parameter, or a set of parameters), but quite a bit harder for the cases where it is really useful (adding and removing modules). I don't plan to implement it until I can spend the time to do it right. And yes, it will only be part of the Numerology 3 dev cycle.

I found a bug in Volta/SilentWay support while doing the video's, that is fixed in 2.2.1 beta 3. That will be noted in the writeups for the videos...
