New version 1.60
Old version 1.51
Release Notes This is the biggest miRack update yet! =MODULES= * NYSTHI - a collection of 100+ modules. Advanced samplers and recorders, oscillators, effects, utilities and a scope - modules for every need, many of which have visual design you won't find anywhere else. * Geodesics - unique modules loosely inspired by astronomic events and physical theories. "The goal is just to see how science can inspire us to create new music." * Turning Machine by Stellare Modular - a random looping sequencer, based on the amazing Music Thing's Turing Machine Eurorack module by Tom Whitwell. * 13 new MSM modules - many of them add interesting new outputs, parameters and modes to standard modules. * Notes (found in the end of Basics list) - add short notes to a patch. It's resizable so can also be used as a spacer between other modules. * cf PLAY and PLAYER samplers - these are simple modules when you don't need advanced functionality. =APP FEATURES= * Added virtual MIDI port option to MIDI modules to simplify MIDI routing into miRack. * Added indication when a module is being or ready to be moved, e.g. after touching and holding for long enough. * More predictable module moving, smoother zooming, and other improvements to touch handling. * Improved rendering of module lights (borders, antialiasing). * Reorganised items in module menus to reduce vertical space they take and to prevent destructive items to be touched accidentally. * Module menus (and context menus for module components that provide them) can be shown with double tap in addition to two-finger touch. =FIXES= * Fixed parameter value smoothing (when adjusting knobs), removes audio artefacts in some cases when adjusting knobs. * Fixed Delete menu item missing for "placeholder" modules (when VCV Rack patches are opened and some modules are not available in miRack). * Fixed wrong module sometimes being added to the rack after double tapping empty space in module browser.
