Changelog

v1.1.0.0

This version is a marker of a new release series, which is a cross-platform modification of the original VSTi source code. The functionality is mostly but not exactly identical to the original, and there remain some minor items to be implemented.

• eliminated an audible click when retriggering a voice
• edited the picture to remove the brand name of the original instrument
• supported automation recording
• added tooltips to facilitate reading
• changed parameter domains to be human-readable
• fixed handling of calculator and ADSR memory, on a locale which uses "," as decimal separator
• immediate handling of MIDI messages, without a buffer
• resolved potential out-of-bound memory accesses
• supported multiple instances in the same host
• supported some new platforms and formats

v1.0.?.?

• imported upstream source code
• relicensed to CC0-1.0 or MIT by the author PolyValens
