Is the export multiple files thingie gone from this version? I can't find it, and I don't see it mentioned in the documentation. On Sep 17, 2009, at 12:16 AM, Ben Kennedy wrote:
Hey folks,
Last Friday, I posted an update to the current general release, 1.4.3, which fixes the playback problem under Snow Leopard. If you're not using the 1G series but have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6, you will likely want to grab it.
Tonight, I have just posted a new build 1G08 which features a number of notable improvements. Here are the main ones:
- Drum kit reconciliation: Doggiebox now remembers assigned mappings when switching kits or pasting between songs. Drum sounds are also now played when clicked, the window title reflects context, and general look- and-feel is improved. - Pattern editor: the playhead can now be moved around freely during playback, using cursor keys or the mouse. - Drum kit list in the inspector: groupings are delineated as they correspond to pattern editor rows, and keyboard shortcuts are shown in tool tips.
Personally speaking the first is the most satisfying accomplishment, because it finally completes the intent that I had when designing the reconciliation process almost 7 years ago (...wow). In other words, it's about damn time.
The dynamic playhead control is another fundamental and very important improvement which now paves the way to support live drum editing (via keyboard or MIDI) during playback.
There were also some UI quirks under Snow Leopard which are resolved.
Finally, I would like to remark that usage data so far has indicated that every 1G-series tester has been running 10.5 or 10.6. Given this, and the current state of the art, I am concluding that it may not be worth supporting 10.4 moving forward. Tiger users, here is an opportunity to make your case.
cheers,
