2.1 KiB
Groff

Added SWELL command. This is both a track and master command. It's the
same as Cresc, but returns to initial volume. Technically called
"messa di voce".
Fixed bug in seqrnd. If set in global with a seqsize less than the
default a crash occurred.
The main module, mma.py, now contains a few lines of code to
automatically enable pysco. Note: if you don't have pysco installed
the load is ignored. Using pysco will speed up compilation to midi
by about 33%.
Cresc, DeCresc and Swell future changes were not being deleted when
loading a new groove. After a bit of head scratching the following
has be set up:
- since groove files normally do NOT have master volume settings, we
permit (de)cresc to cross over groove changes.
- groove files normally DO set individual volumes for each track. It
is probably counter intuitive to let a previous (de)cresc effect
an implicit volume setting in a groove definition. So, the future
effect is discarded. A warning is displayed if this occurs.
Fixed bug in macro code so that hex values (and octal) are now
recognized in comparisons. Previously code like "IF $something LE
0x11" did not work properly. I think I also fixed some other instances
where hex/oct notation wasn't picked up. Shout if you find more bugs
here.
A new macro $_Track_Sequence has been added. This returns the patterns
currently assigned to the specified track.
A new command line option -Dv has been added. This will display, on
exit, the currently defined grooves, sequences and patterns.
Extended voice/patch addressing as been added. MMA now supports
controller 0/32 bank switching for additional voices. Please read the
details in the Patch Management chapter.
Enhanced MidiPan: You can use 1 or 3 args. If you use 1, then a new
Pan value is assumed and inserted; using 3 values assumes an initial
value, new value and beat range. See the docs.
Some reorganization of the manual was done.
Multiple filenames were accepted on the command line, but only the
first was processed. Only 1 permitted now!
February 14, 2008: Version 1.3 released.
