v2.2.0
3e1cc86

Thursday 18th December, 2014

This release brings a number of nice enhancements. However the main
feature is the accurate timing for triggering FX. This means you can now
reliably use FX for accurate rhythmic purposes such as wobbling, slicing
and echoes.

Breaking Changes

  • use_sample_pack_as now uses a double underscore __ as a separator
    between the user-specified alias and the sample name.

API Changes

  • Teach synth args to take prefixed maps: play 50, {amp: 0.5}, {release: 2}, amp: 2
  • Don't round Floats when user specifically prints them to log with puts
  • with_fx FX synths are now triggered using virtual time rather than
    real time. This means that FX can now be used for rhythmical purposes.
  • Work on new RingArray datastructure. This is essentially an array
    that wraps its indexes so you can use indexes larger than the array size.
  • New fn ring - (ring 1, 2, 3) creates a new ring array.
  • New fn knit - (knit :a1, 2, :c1, 1) returns (ring :a1, :a1, :c1)
  • New fn bools - (bools 1, 0, 1) returns (ring true, false, true)
  • New fn range - (range 70, 100, 10) returns (ring 70, 80, 90, 100)
  • New fn sample_loaded? - to detect whether a specific sample has been loaded

Synth & FX

  • Fixed regression in :tb303 synth - sound is reverted to v2.0 behaviour
  • New Synth - :square - Pure square wave

GUI

  • Help system now autodocks on close
  • Preferences are now remembered across sessions
  • On Raspberry Pi, previous volume and audio output options are forced
    on boot.

New Samples

  • bd_tek - Bass drum

Bug fixes

  • one_in now returns false if num is < 1
  • Ensure live_loop's no-sleep detector works within nested with_fx blocks
  • chord now returns a ring.
