AudioMulch full changelog

· Fixed LoopPlayer bug where a muted LoopPlayer would sometimes start unmuted until the beginning of the next bar. This happened if a document was first played starting from anywhere other than the start of a bar (including when synced to MIDI or Network Sync).
· Fixed extremely distorted audio when using over-unity floating point sound files in some contraptions (e.g. LoopPlayer).
· Fixed LiveLooper crash when creating very short loops.
· Fixed LiveLooper assertion failure crash quot;Assertion failed: (state_ == RECORDING)quot; if automation or MIDI control tried to clear a track while it was recording.
· Fixed intermittent LiveLooper assertion failure crash quot;Assertion failed: (nextRecordTrack_ == 0)quot; when all tracks were empty.
· Fixed AudioUnit hosting bug: sliders in the generic editor were not updating when parameters were changed using the custom editor or automation.

· Fixed bug where clicking the LiveLooper Start button would sometimes not start recording, especially with high CPU load or when the audio driver buffer size was not set to a multiple of 64 samples.
· Fixed crash: assertion failure quot;length >= fadeLengthSamples_quot; if you changed the sample rate in AudioMulch's Audio General settings while LiveLooper was recording.
· Fixed bug where PulseComb hold would get permanently stuck on if you set the Hold Quantize Divisions multiplier to zero with Quantize Amount set to non-zero.
· Fixed bug in PulseComb hold quantize behavior (present since version 2.1): Hold Quantize was taking priority over the Hold Period causing rapid holds when the hold duration should have been at least as long as Hold Period. To get the previous quot;buggyquot; behavior use a very short Hold Period.

· Added 16 channel Matrix and Mixer contraptions.
· Added right-click for Matrix contraption grid cells allowing Automate, Quick-map and direct access to parameters in the Parameter Control window for each grid cell.
· Fixed bug where automation loop was sometimes skipped when the audio driver buffer size was not a multiple of 64 samples.
· Fixed input/key meters on Limiter, NoiseGate and Compressor to reflect the input level after InputGain has been applied.
· Fixed bug where patch was sometimes scrolled off screen when it was first opened.
· Fixed bug in Flanger contraption that caused audio drop outs, extreme CPU load and crashes when using low Frequency Range settings when the audio interface sample rate was set to 96kHz or higher.
· Added code to sanitize bad audio data coming from VST plugins, which could cause audio drop outs.

· Fixed crash: assertion failure quot;PortAudioStreamController Line 1118...quot; when using the Open Sound File dialog box to preview sound files when AudioMulch master audio was not enabled.
· Fixed problems with level meters (SoundIn, SoundOut, Patcher activity indicators) flickering, freezing and/or not working under certain conditions.
· Fixed bug where Bassline note name hover tooltips were sometimes not displayed when note cells displayed quot;...quot;.

New Features:
· Added MIDI output contraptions (MidiOut1 - MidiOut8).
· Added support for switching Metasurface snapshots via MIDI control.
· Frequency parameters are now also displayed as musical pitches in parameter tool tips. They can also be edited as musical pitches using piano keyboard interface in the Set Value dialog box.
· New SChorus stereo chorus contraption.
· New header bar in contraption Preset window.
· New Welcome Screen giving access to recent files and other options.

Enhancements:
· Switched to internal 64 sample control rate with no lower limit on sound card buffer size. Results in higher stability with buffer size settings lower than 256 samples.
· New timing engine for MIDI and network clock synchronization. Stable sync. Increased hardware compatibility.
· Added “pattern mode” for MIDI sync generation for compatibility with Electribe and Nord Micro Modular step sequencers.

· Fixed bug where contraption preset window would spontaneously disappear when one of the contraption editor button tooltips displayed and then hid.
· Fixed bug in audio settings where setting devices to None was not remembered after restarting AudioMulch. Instead, the default device and all channels would be selected at next startup.
· Fixed bug/crash assertion failure quot;DRAG_STATE_NONEquot; when trying to drag 5Combs contraption editor while pitch selection window was visible.
· Fixed bug where selection of AIFF files was not possible during the quot;locate missing sound filesquot; process.
· Improved scroll wheel behavior in properties pane. Scroll wheel no longer gets stuck on individual controls while scrolling the whole view. Scroll wheel now only acts on number editors when they already have input focus. Scroll wheel never acts on combo boxes and FilePlayer/Recorder location bars.
· Mac: improved stability of MIDI clock sync generation output.

· Fixed hung notes and/or plugin crashes when using VSTi plugins controlled by MIDI. The bug occurred when MIDI data is received on multiple MIDI channels simultaneously and the plugin Receive Channel is set to a single channel (i.e. not quot;Nonequot; or quot;Allquot;).
· Fixed intermittent crash when displaying a VST generic editor while audio is running: quot;assertion failed: slider != 0quot;
· Fixed rare crash while previewing a sound file in the open sound file dialog: quot;assertion failed: lastAlloc_->Blocksize()==sizequot;
