Synfire 2.2.4

Posted

Synfire 2.2.4 Build #2 is online now.

While we are in the process of producing new video tutorials, it occasionally happens that issues and oddities pop up that, ideally, we are fixing on the fly (where possible). This is the next batch of fixed stuff.

  • Audio Engine 4.3.5
  • Audio Engine: Fixed issues with resetting controllers on transport stop
  • Device Editor: Convert a regular device with Save as Template
  • Preferences: Select the default startup window
  • Rendering: Fixed issues with modulation (CC 1) as expression controller for sound libraries
  • Sketch: Switching sketches from the Playback menu could corrupt the arrangement rack
  • Articulations should become visible the moment there are any found (can still be disabled)
  • Fixed a crash after opening older palette files and examples
  • Palette: Scale notes did not sound when chords were already playing
  • Installer: Additional instructions for macOS package installation

Build #3 had serious issues installing on macOS with Apple Silicon. This required a new update faster than usual.

Synfire 2.2.4 Build #4

  • Installer: Installation failed on macOS M1/M2
  • Installer: Updated iLok integration
  • Recording should also reset controllers to default values
  • Figure recognition sometimes loses individual notes
  • Playback did not send all default CC as confingured

Synfire 2.2.4 Build #5

  • Fixed a hefty regression that messed with moving pools inside a library
  • Recording: Length of recorded Figure sometimes defaulted to entire container
  • Library: Moving phrases asked for importing sounds in error
     

This is an urgent updtae after the last build had to be recalled because of the first bug.

Synfire 2.2.4 Build #7 should be the final build for this version number. 

If you've had issues with moving figure segments, or want to follow and reproduce the workflow demonstrated in the tutorial Arranging For Orchestra, you should install this update now. Otherwise there is probably no resaon to hurry.

  • Editing: Moving a multi-selection can swallow segments
  • Dropping a phrase should not alter instrument name
  • Overview page did not support multiple tracks selection
