A new update for VB3 with important changes, fixes and a couple of good news!
What's new in version 1.4:
- Added new Rotary Speaker simulation
- Added option to choose the destination of MIDI CC# 64 (sustain, rotary switch or assignable)
- Added new item in the DAT (ini) file for the CC# of rotary brake for the "2 controllers" option
- When the organ preset octave isn't active, keys below the first C and above the last C play folded-back octaves
- When switching between organ presets something made the switching get slower over and over. Fixed.
- When switching between organ presets while playing, an audible crackle was produced. Fixed.
- Now the "Midi Learn" takes the correct Channel even when the Split is active.
- Now the Split function leaves the pedalboard available on its own separate channel
- The pedalboard tapering is now correct (sub-harmonics were missing on some notes)
- When the host saved a project, VB3 muted its sound and caused an audible click. Fixed. *
- * Now programs and banks are saved as "custom chunks"
- * Reorganized the .DAT file and renamed it to .INI and moved the .FXP .INI and .LIC file locations on Mac to the User Library
If you're updating from a previous version, please read the Manual's Addendum PDF, and if you're a Mac user, read the ReadMe file you find in the zip archive.
Simeon Amburgey from Sound Creations, Inc. has made a short video demo of Key Performer 1.1 running on his Lenovo netbook with a Korg nanoKontrol. Also, he wrote a review of the software.
Enjoy the video!
Hey Virtual-Tonewheelers and Drawbar addicts! There's a good news for you all! VB3 has been updated to version 1.3 with important bugfixes and optimizations and two of the most requested features:
VB3 now supports the use of the sustain pedal for... sustaining notes!
and...
VB3 1.3 introduces the new "Advanced MIDI Learn" function that enormously extends the number of compatible hardware controllers.
Last but not least, the Mac version of VB3 1.3 is now compatible with MOTU Digital Performer.
Please feel free to download and install the update by overwriting the old executables. VB3 1.3 is backwards compatible with previous versions, so nothing will change within your saved projects. Also, it's important to notice that practically nothing changes sound-wise, the DSP part is identical to version 1.2.2. This new release just covers some of the urgent changes that many people kept asking in the last 18 months.
February 25, 2010 Key Performer updated to version 1.1 and now also available for Mac!
Hey Folks! Epecially you, Mac guys! You who have been waiting almost one year for this event to come true... your wait is over. Key Performer is now available also for Mac! Yeah! :)
Existing Windows users can download the update (just the installer, no need to re-download the sampled instruments) and overwrite the old version. Mac users can now take advantage of this nice and useful tool with cool keyboard sounds that cover all music genres and live situations. It's available as a plug-in in both VST and AU format and as a Standalone application.
What's new in version 1.1:
Internal sound engines greatly improved (CPU usage is even lower now!)
Minor bug fixes here and there
Saving presets and banks now asks confirmation for overwriting existing files
When you press&hold a scroll button (for either the presets or instruments) the list scrolls rapidly
A COOL LOOKING NEW INTERFACE!
And... the offer is once again extended until the end of this year!
