Everest : Audio Looper gets a huge update in version 1.0.3
This really is a huge update and only on a 1.0.3 release. I wonder what the 1.1 will look like? Anyway, here's what's new:
- Stereo Support :
- All loopers can now record stereo sources from audio hardware or other apps.
- Dual Mono is used when sampling a mono audio source.
- Stereo WAV files are created when copying or saving loops.
- Panning a stereo sourced track balances the left and right channels.
- Supports up to 4 stereo hardware sources (i.e. 8 mono audio tracks bussed to four stereo loopers).
- Audio File Paste :
- Audio files can be pasted into empty loop tracks from the general pasteboard.
- Press-and-hold on an empty loop track after copying audio from another app.
- Support for pasting stereo and mono files.
- If the there are no loops playing, then the first paste will determine Everest's BPM.
- Automatic Fades on Loop Ends/Seams :
- There is a now an option, on by default, to add a short fade out on the end of a loop and short fade in on the beginning of the loop.
- This helps remove unwanted clicks from sampled audio that spans the edges of the loop.
- Fades are also applied to edited, windowed, and reversed loops.
- Loop History Recall
- Now accessible via MIDI, every edit, recording, or windowing of a loop track is instantly restorable.
- Using a partitioned ranges of MIDI CC 70, instantly jump to any loop version, all without losing sync.
- MIDI Improvements :
- Added dedicated, named, Core MIDI endpoint. Receive MIDI directly from other apps that can discover and connect to endpoints.
- MIDI hardware devices and their corresponding input ports are now dynamically updated whenever any devices are added or removed.
- Other Updates :
- New Hardware, Inter-App Audio and Audiobus routing interface lets you pre-select and save your favorite audio-to-looper mapping.
- Improved general Inter-App Audio Effect tempo and transport synchronization.
- Fixed sporadic issue where the press-and-hold of the Record button would fail to erase the loop and/or trigger a new recording.
- Fixed issue where the fourth Audiobus sender app/input slot was not being sampled/routed properly.
- Beat display now changes when a quantized loop window snaps in and out of sync.
- Added colored Audiobus trigger buttons to show play/record/stopped state of each selected looper.
- Overdub mode now frequently redraws waveform to show recent changes.

"Some more progress on Masterpiece's prototype, although I got a little tiny bit lost on a tangent. This week I'm talking about graphics performance and reacquainting myself with OpenGL, and affordance in animation. Also, I found an amusing little piece of memorabilia."

Dull Work - kinky spanky bum mix by pantsofdeath
This is a korg gadget noodle from the train this morning.. first thing I have ever done in Gadget. Hated the clip arranging thing though so I cot and paste all the stems into Nanostudio and arranged and mixed there. I was using Gadget primarily for the Tokyo drum synth, which is cool, I like Kiev and ChianMai too..
