Version 1.0.5 May 23, 2012 . Changes and additions:
- In order to avoid any confusions with Mopho Model selections we decided to create separate plugins for Mopho Desktops and Mopho Keyboards. The synth architecture and implementation is slightly different in both models.
- MIDI output optimization. Sending MIDI commands to Mopho are now on a separate and independent thread. In the first release, specially on Windows PC systems, the MIDI Interface drivers were easily overrun. With a very dense MIDI stream generated by the automation the MIDI interface could have clogged and hang the PlugSE.
- In addition, the PlugSE is now using a so called “Active Status” feature that allows to further decrease the amount of outgoing commands.
- Single Program file loading was fixed in Program Banks. This function is available
through right mouse button pop-
up in the Program Bank . Load Single File loads the Program from a file and writes it to the Mopho ROM banks. - Single Program file loading was fixed in the editing pane under the EDIT menu.
- In the first release the SEND button was set to send the current program from the
VST/AU host bank. This was done intentionally for users to have a quick option of
resetting the Program to it’s original and unedited state before playing tracks.
We added another selectable “send program” function that sends currently edited and
loaded programs. This function works in the same way as the SEND button in the stand-
alone editor.
We have done some testing using Ableton Live automation envelopes. Using “draw mode”
we created pattern that sent hundreds of automation parameters per one bar. Normally,
nobody in a right mind would want to do this. That’s probably ten times more than
the synth can handle. Of course, trying to push few thousands of messages per second
though MIDI does not make any sense. We just wanted to know the limits. Using PlugSE
1.0.0 we were able to employ 4 -
- MIDI Channel selection. Now you can select the transmitting MIDI channel that should match the Mopho’s MIDI receive channel. In the version 1.0.0 the PlugSE MIDI channel was switched automatically when MIDI messages were received from the host and from the Mopho. As a result, some users had trouble configuring the system to play notes through the PlugSE with keyboard controllers.
Version 1.0.6 May 24 2012
- PlugSE is now using a so called “Active Status” feature that allows to further decrease the amount of outgoing commands.
Version 1.0.7 May 29 2012
- We got rid of the model selector and instead we have two separate plugins for both Mopho Desktops and Mopho Keyboards.
- Added “Use Loaded Data” option in the Bank preset selection. If enabled, instead of switching presets in the program banks the PlugSE sends out the data to the Mopho program buffer for playing or audition.
Version 1.0.8 June 28 2012
- PREF wiring options have been removed. As it turned out, it created user confusion. All MIDI parameter changes are sent directly to the automation.
- Now, the graphical user interface (the plugin window) can be closed without resulting in lost communication between the host automation and the Mopho.
- Added MIDI clock generator. The PlugSE sends MIDI sequence START and STOP commands and sends MIDI clock synced to the host/track tempo.
- Added MID Clock selector that sets the Mopho’s global clock setting.
