Midinous

• Fixed a crash when trying to save a file with a '?' in it. '?' will now be converted to '_' if entered in the filename.
  
• Fixed a crash when trying to copy or paste properties without a point being selected. Oops!
  
• Fixed the issue of WAY too many autosaves being made. There should only ever be 12, not 12 per project!
  
• The Logic Point color picker is now just like the other color pickers in the program. However this may break some saves. You will have to reconfigure the color to come from the point itself instead of the "Send Color" special color option. In my opinion this is much clearer to the user where colors are coming from.
  
• Fixed an issue where using MIDI input at the same time as the note and octave selector in Point properties would not be setting properties correctly
  
• Fixed an issue when copying and pasting points and properties -- color values would not carry over.
  
• Fixed an annoyance with text input into spin buttons. The field will now accept both a '0' and a '.' as the first character typed.
  

• A new MIDI port (Midinous Thru Port) will now take the input from whatever MIDI device you are using and send it out on this port. So if you are using a keyboard, the keyboard's MIDI will be mirrored on this port.
  
• Theme chooser! Open the theme chooser from the appearance options menu and choose a theme to open, or save your current one. I have included a few themes for you to pick from.
  
• Separate autosave area: To reach your autosaves now, in the event of a crash, in the Open dialog, press the "Autosaves" button next to "Presets"
  
• There is now a set palette of preset colors you can choose from in the various color pickers in the program
  

1.1.6.8 Changelog - Fixes

General

• Manual has been updated to 1.1.6.8 - If you can't access the manual in the program, you can reach it here, or on Discord: https://github.com/Nornec/Midinous-Issues
  

Fixes

• Likely fixed a crash related to deleting points while sequences were in progress
  
• Hopefully fixed an issue where some users, after shutting down Midinous, would have either Steam or Midinous unable to fully say the program was terminated. I promise this was not malicious method to inflate play time (I don't even keep those metrics) and I apologize to anyone who had issues with this.
  
• Fixed a text input bug on the Probability of Note Points
  
• Autosaves will now trigger even when the document hasn't been saved yet for the first time.
  
• Fixed Relative Pass buttons disabling completely when multiple points were selected (and then not being able to be used at all after that)
  
• Fixed a bug related to copying properties from one Point to another (specifically with Note Point probability/Force Scale and CC Point Slew Mode/Slew Amount)
  
• Fixed a bug where quick playing would add states to the undo/redo stack
  
• Fixed a bug rendering Midinous unusable if an audio device suddenly becomes unavailable during operation. There was code to disable audio, but not to re-enable it. Thank you to the person who emailed me about this -- I was previously unaware.
  
• Fixed an issue where logic output from points was either swapping or not activating properly when triggered
  
• Fixed a bug where multiple travelers would exit a Point from the start without any other prompts.
  
• Removed "Midinous Port" and "Midinous Clock Port" from the available devices to pick from for MIDI input.
  
• Fixed an annoyance where the feedback box would remove all your input if you clicked away before sending. This now preserved until you hit "Submit".
  
• Fixed some graphical artifacts which were happening with Players and Travelers. This drawing should be smoother now.
  
• Fixed the BUF logic gate not acting like an OR
  

New Stuff

• Made it so device selection (if they still are connected and the audio setup is similar (no changing device IDs)) will carry through sessions. This should help some users who were having issues with device exclusivity.
  
• Added default keybinding for copying/pasting properties on points -- C and V respectively (these can be rebound). These are the same bindings as the Ctrl/Cmd modifier keys but can be used without said modifier for points.
  

1.1.6.5 Changelog - Fixes and Features

Fixes

• Fixed bug causing control groups to not display correctly when copying and pasting points which have groups
  
• Fixed some controls not stopping when using a control/command modifier with the same binding. Ctrl+N and N (for snapping mode) for example.
  
• Fixed a bug causing appearance settings not to load properly in certain situations (startup, when using reset settings, etc.). Your pretty color selections should load on startup now!
  
• Fixed a bug where the feedback menu would say "Feedback Submitted", but there was really no guarantee that this was working as intended.
  
• Fixed a UI quirk where Relative Pass fields couldn't be set unless a value was present in the relative area, which was counter intuitive, as the value was then meaningless.
  
• Made all times (in logs and file names) more human-readable. Single digits will now be extrapolated so they can line up nice and neatly.
  
• Fixed a crash that would sometimes happen when undoing or redoing and a spin button was selected. This tried to undo text that didn't exist.
  
• Fixed a crash when trying to open empty projects
  
• If for whatever reason the new version does not work for you, you can revert to the old version using the Betas properties. Look for 1.1.6.0.
  

New Stuff

• Manual has been updated to 1.1.6.5 - If you can't access the manual in the program, you can reach it here, or on Discord: https://github.com/Nornec/Midinous-Issues
  
• Please take some time to read through the manual -- there are new pages describing the new features and some clarification on existing features.
  
• New Precise Clock mode in options menu -- WARNING: This is a very resource intensive mode, but it does ensure that clock, events, and timing are extremely precise. Expect a performance hike of about 20%. The CPU that this mode will consume is low priority, so if other programs need it, it should drop down naturally. Because of the performance hike, this option will not be saved between sessions.
  
• Triplet grid: Enable this with the "Triplet Grid" button in the Toolbox. This will give you access to triplets below the current grid size! Snapping works just like before using the triplet grid but now you can put in those tasty fills. While the triplet grid is active, the normal grid will be hidden. When both grids were on screen it was really hard to look at, so only one will be visible at a time.
  
• MIDI Input! Select an input device from the Options menu. Send a note/cc to Midinous to automatically set the selected point to that value. If you have a note point selected and press a key, that point will take the value (including velocity, if using a pressure sensitive device) of whatever you play.
  
• Basic syncing to external gear/software: Please note that this is experimental and does NOT use either clock messages or MIDI sync, so you may experience drift. It simply starts the sequence if the program receives a MIDI Start message. Similarly, the sequence will stop if it receives a MIDI stop message. Enable this from the toolbox. Midinous will receive data on "Midinous Clock Port".
  
• Note probability option! Note points now have a field in the properties pane that controls the chance that a particular note will play. The default is 100% (displayed as 100).
  
• Added the following items to "startup" settings: Primary Values and Channel point display
  
• Added the following option in General Settings: Incoming MIDI channel changes point properties (some keyboards and controllers only work off of one channel. This setting is to prevent overwriting channel data on a point when not wanted)
  
• The program will now autosave the curent document every 5 minutes; these autosaves will appear in the normal saves folder. The program will keep the last hour of work for you and back up the current document every time it autosaves. Remember you can always get to your backups in the "backup" directory, next to your saves. Backups are created every time you save. Hopefully, in the unlikely event that Midinous should crash, you will not have lost much work.
  
• When Midinous starts a sequence, it will now generate a corresponding MIDI file for that sequence! A new folder save_MIDI can be found in your user directory. Midinous will keep the latest five generated MIDI files for you.
  

Interface Changes

• Minimum resolution reduced to 1280x600 to fit some very small screens. I don't intend to reduce this any further. If you have resolution issues, try checking your DPI scaling settings in your OS, especially if your screen's resolution is higher than 1280x600
  
• Added option to enable welcome window on startup
  
• Added Triplet grid button to the toolbox
  
• Added MIDI Input selection to the options general tab
  
• Added probability option for note points to the properties pane
  
• Shifted value selectors to be right-aligned, this makes more sense and just looks better
  
• Renamed "Send MIDI Clock" to "Send Clock"
  
• Added "External Clock" to the toolbox under "Send Clock"
  
• Logic points that send color will now give that send color to the path exiting it
  
• Added additional options to General and On Startup
  
• Added Precise Clock mode toggle to options menu
  
• Moved the Control Groups pane to the bottom right near the Zoom controls
  

1.1.6.0 Changelog - Documentation Update

Fixes

• Fixed crash in demo version related to attemping to place more points than possible in one go.
  
• Fixed broken or missing tooltips on all controls. They should display correctly and give accurate information now.
  
• Clarified an error message when an audio device conflict is encountered. Choosing another one from the options menu is generally all that is needed, but the error message made it seem like audio wasn't going to work at all.
  
• Fixed issue where traveler injection would only inject one traveler on the first available selected object. It now sends a traveler on each selected object.
  

New Stuff

• Now included with your installation is a PDF which contains a full documentation of the program (as of this version). You can get to it by clicking the 'Help' button on the top bar of the screen. Note for Steam Deck users, this button won't do anything in Game Mode, you'll have to get to it in Desktop Mode.
  
• Added button to the main UI to reach the Help PDF in one click -- there is a button with "Help" on the top bar.
  
• Updated Linux version MIDI backend library, adding some stability and fixing some internal errors. Should be transparent to users
  

1.1.5.6 Changelog

Fixes

• Fixed crash related to copying properties from Note points to other types of points
  
• Fixed crash related to attempting to open a web browser from the program using the "About" button in the main menu. There were some unhandled exceptions happening in these methods. I caught them, so if they don't work, your program will not suddenly close on you.
  
• Enabled the copying and pasting of properties from CC and Logic points to other points of that type. Note: If you copy properties from a note point (for example), those properties will only paste to points of the the note type. This goes for all types of points.
  
• Removed the broken code for copying patches from the game folder to the user folder. This just wasn't working and I'm sorry for folks whom were promised patches. They are there.
  

New Stuff

• Instead, Now you can view these patches with the "Presets" button in the "Open" dialog in the main menu. These presets can't be saved to the presets folder, but they can be opened, viewed, and saved as something new in the user folder.
  
• Added option to delete patches from the "Open" dialog. If you had presets copy here in the past, it might be a good idea to clean these up.
  
• Added button to take you directly to the user folder from the main menu. This is where you can find logs, saves, and settings. The new button is called "Local Files".
  

Added 4 new presets

• Nornec - Simplicity
  
• Nornec - 1.0.2 Demo
  
• Nornec - Site Demo
  
• Nornec - Ambient Sessions 1
  

1.1.5.5 Changelog

• Fixed crash on startup for several Windows users who had at least one ASIO device configured on their system
  
• Fixed crash when quantizing points which were currently in play and off the grid
  
• Fixed an issue where patches weren't getting copied over when the version changed. If you didn't see them before, you should now.
  
• Made the day of the year more readable in log files. Now should read month.year instead of day/365
  
• Added additional debug information to the log_error.txt file, giving some insight as to why some errors may be occuring and how to fix them
  
• Added the "All Basic Functions" project where you can view how most point-related actions are tested.
  
• Fixed an issue related to settings not getting overwritten because the version text was "not a number". This was due to some missing quotes.
  
• Added what system is running to the log files in the startup header
  
• Change the BMIDI port timeout from 15 seconds to 30 seconds to give the program a little more time in setup. On Windows, if the program doesn't start up after 30 seconds, it is likely that BMIDI has to be re-installed. Find the installer in the "3rd Party Installers" folder in your install directory.
  
• Upgraded project to .NET 7 to provide more stability and longevity to updates
  

Note: Apologies but this update will cause a settings reset.
