Remember this is just a beta test, use at your own risk FILE FORMATS: With every almost update the file format changes so don't get upset when your files made with an old version of MASS don't load in the newest version. If you have a version of MASS after 16-4-2000 then all file formats should be the same. Report bugs & suggestions to - stewart.miles@virgin.net http://www.9barrecordings.co.uk/mass.htm Remember visit 9 Bar Recordings for some great music http://www.9barrecordings.co.uk Updates:!!!!!!!!!! 23-7-2000 MIDI timing a bit more solid (make the wave buffer size as small as possible by right clicking on wave output module and altering properties) 21-7-2000 MIDI timing problems solved Can now drag connections to move connection (rather than deleting connection then creating a new one) Wave output a bit more stable - I've written to Creative, Turtle Beach and Yamaha to find solutions to driver problems 3-5-2000 Fixed problems creating the view, hence reducing memory footprint 23-4-2000 Started some work on help file Added some debug code to help determine what's causing crashes on some systems Please mail me errors. 20-4-2000 Sample and hold now works Reduced the memory usage by having global wavetables for the oscillators Fixed some more loading/saving bugs preventing invalid connections 18-4-2000 Still haven't tested the MIDIIO class I'll test it with another keyboard later on. Added a show all MIDI maps dialog box - very VERY handy! Fixed some bugs in the MIDI maps dialog box 17-4-2000 I think I've fixed Notes hanging in MIDIIO (Last Note Off was Ignored) Started writing some documentation 16-4-2000 Even more GUI bug fixes Hard disk recorder module updated MIDI now handles all data (It was 'losing' data) MIDI now has last note priority so playing MASS is like a true monosynth Added Inverter, Multiplier, Sample And Hold & Full Wave Rectifier Modules (Look under menu option insert-operation) Started thinking about writing a help file (can't be bothered yet) 15-4-2000 Added Hard Disk recorder module 14-4-2000 Oscillators speed doubled MIDI Input/Output improved More GUI bug fixes Wave output module is now safer and compatible with more sound card drivers 13-4-2000 Fixed timing problems in MIDI I/O by rewriting the way MIDI data is handled 12-4-2000 MIDI Input/Output functional but due to HUGE timing problems it's unusable! 9-4-2000 Fixed more scrolling bugs Now possible to select wave output devices 7-4-2000 (7:00PM) Locking up fixed (7:00PM) Greatly improved drawing / scrolling (7:00PM) No more memory leaks at ALL! Memory leaks resolved (there is the oscassional leak) Display redraw about 10-20 times faster! 6-4-2000 Two delay modules added Some more memory leaks fixed (discovered most leaks are due to MFC!!) MIDI Map dialog added but not yet functional 5-4-2000 More stuff added to the Resonant Filter Modules ADR and ADSR envelopes working Begun work on the delay module 4-4-2000 More memory leaks fixed Waveoutput module should now work properly Background drawing bug fixed New signal passing implementation that allows feedback networks. Major optimisations Loading saving bug should be fixed 23-3-2000 WARNING: In previous releases do not create feedback networks! These will kill your machine. 23-3-2000 Scroll view added (still not fully implemented) Oscillators even faster General bug fixing Loading and saving still dodgy MIDI implementation is coming! Multiple wave output is also almost ready! 12-3-2000 New wave output module - no longer polls wave device no more 100% CPU usage! 11-3-2000 Load and save now work (however file format may change) 10-3-2000 Load and save implemented - a bit dodgy 9-3-2000 First web upload - read pages to see what other stuff I've done
