Hi!
The latest beta release Modalys 3.8.1 rc5 is available from the beta download page.
rc5 means that we are very, very, very, very (…) close to official release!!
Cumulative build notes for Modalys 3.8.1.x:
- ‘READ-FROM-FILE’ object: const- and freq-loss can now be controlled with @const-loss and @freq-loss messages.
- Modalys for Max
- revamped Extras Menu Modalys item, with updated examples.
- new examples: ‘tube, reed, and holes’, ‘controller_set_value’.
- support for mc.wrapper (multichannel)
- mlys controllers: the target-attribute parameter had been accidentally missing for quite a while.
- mlys.lua:
- dynamic controller: value parameter was ignored (set to zero) if the dimension parameter was specified.
- crash in luafunction.
- rect-plate object was messed up previous builds.
- pitch parameter: more graceful handling.
- apply_envelope: 1) more flexible syntax 2) more graceful handling of multidimensional controllers.
- set_value was broken in b3.
- reed connection: tube and reed accesses were reversed! (also in the documentation…)
- external editor: more robust (especially on Windows!)
- ‘set_value’ function with array for multimensional controllers, with time and rank optional parameters.
-
setcentspitchbend & setspectraldiffraction:
- messages can now be passed with a controller name (rather than a fixed value)
- now available in Lua as ‘set_cents_pitchbend’ & ‘set_spectral_diffraction’ (object, value/controller).
- now work with tri-hybrid objects.
- changing mode shapes through setinfo did not have any hearable effect!
- sound output fix (was strange in b1…)
- more precision in [applyenvelope] message.
- [setinfo value] message can now be applied to a multidimensional controller.
- removed ctrlnamelist message.
- new getinfo kind: ‘num-accesses’ (number of accesses of an object)
- Documentation
- Ongoing update
- Tube and reed accesses were in wrong positions in Reed Connection.
As usual the updated beta documentation can be viewed here.
Have fun with Modalys!
