Noise Commander 0.0.15 release + tutorial video

The universal updater database usually needs a couple days to ingest a new version so I thought I'd make this a Patreon "early-exclusive" thing until then.

This is mostly a GUI-bugfix release, apologies about the previous version being almost unusable.

0.0.15

Added

• Pads show current instrument number in lower right corner

• New generic "set length" dialog for changing current phrase- and clip-lengths

• New tracker-view hotkey Y+X - shows "set phrase-length" dialog

• New clipmatrix-view hotkey Y+X - shows "set clip-length" dialog

• New tracker hotkey: Y + C-Pad for paging up/down by 16 steps or jump to top/bottom

• Large status-icon displays deck's playing, looping or stopped state

• B + D-Right as an alternative way to start an entire row in clipmatrix-view to double tapping A

• "Set Lengths" menu item in clipmatrix view assigns length to all twelve row-cells at once

Changed

• Assigning a pitch value to an instrument sets num-beats to zero, otherwise the pitch may change unexpectedly later

• Muting lane via B + Pad now works in tracker- and clipmatrix widgets too

• Swing amount is now per deck instead of global (current was disturbingly changing when loading new song)

• Volumes are adjusted when loading files from versions before 0.0.14 but the levels still sound quite different

• Piano octave-setting no longer affects drum pads

• Default volume is now 70 instead of 50

• Instrument number is shown in hex in instrument-view to be consistent with tracker columns

• Tracker-operations now work in clipmatrix too: shift cell selection w. A+up/down, select above/below w. X+up/down

• Select button now toggles "row-loop" mode in tracker view too

Fixed

• Pressing START sometimes plays random clip row - it should play selected clip row

• Cross-fading exports sample (forgot to uncomment)

• No instrument number inserted with linear slice notes menu-function

• Some instrument parameters are not reset when creating new project (loopEnabled)

• "Reload" and "Reload Seq" in project view causes app to freeze

• Pressing A to disable follow mode while deck is not playing leads to confusing behavior (cursor stays locked)

Removed

• Removed shortcuts which re-order lanes as they don't work as intended (A+D-Left/D-Right)

• Hid shortcuts from tracker/clipmatrix menus as they aren't functional

• Removed "Rotate" menu item from clipmatrix menu
