ifoundasound - LiveProfessor 2.3.3

ifoundasound has updated the beta version of LiveProfessor to v2.3.3.

Changes:

• Fix: Cues that sets the controller map of program actions where not loaded from saved projects.

• Fix: Bug when routing MIDI between plugins, the signal was split when changing routing.

• Fix: Problem with plugins not receiving transport changes.

Previous Updates: ifoundasound has released Beta 2.3 of LiveProfessor. There are some rather drastic changes to the code in this release. The main differences are that the way the ASIO drivers are loaded and the way MIDI is handled between plug-ins.

• The ASIO loading has changed to allow the use of multimode drivers (You can choose the ASIO channels that LP should use).

• The position of the MIDI-modifiers and the MIDI filter on each plug-in has been moved so that it works on MIDI coming from other plug-ins. Please make sure that all your advanced MIDI setups still behaves like they should.

Full list of changes.

• New: Multimode ASIO: Changed the way ASIO drivers are loaded. LiveProfessor no longer takes control of the entire ASIO interface. You can enable or disable single channels in the Audio options window. Using a sound device with support for multimode, for example RME devices, two applications can share the same audio device. Note that the two applications need to use the same buffer size and can not enable the same outputs in both applications.

• New: Learn button in MIDI send window (Cue action) and better support for SysEx.

• New: Possible to assign a keyboard short cut or controller to "Go previous cue".

• Internal Fix: General bug in the cuelist.

• Fix: Remove active workspace does not remove the active work space but the first in the list.

• Fix: Closing windows did not change the view-menu states.

• Fix: Audio processing stops after changing settings in ASIO control panel.

• Fix: MIDI options are now called MIDI modifiers.

• Changed: MIDI Modifiers and filter are now also inserted for MIDI between Plug-ins.

• Changed: MIDI mute was not recalled correctly when opening a project.

• Fix: MIDI notes could hang when changing transpose values.

• New: Added a «use single message» option on MIDI controller buttons so that a button can turn on, for example on the message Program change=45.

• Fix: MIDI patch between Plug-ins was not always loaded correctly when opening a project.

Previous Update: ifoundasound recently released Beta version 2.2.1 of LiveProfessor.

Changes in Beta 2.2.1:

• Problems using Program change messages.

• Not always loading controllers form program actions (like Cue list control etc).

• Other minor bugs.

Beta 2.2 also included some new features:

• There is a new Cue action that lets you load a different project using a cue. To use it add a new Program Action and select Load Project from the drop down list.

• The new MIDI-mute feature as also been added, together with a new cue action, MIDI mute.

• On each plug-in there is now a mute button in the MIDI panel. When MIDI mute is on the plug-in receives no MIDI data, except Note Off and the Sustain pedal. This should make it easy to switch between different VST instruments with out patching or turning them off. Note that right clicking on the MIDI mute buttons mutes all other VST plug-ins and so sets the one you click on.

Summary of changes in Beta 2.2:

• Feature: Cue action to load project.

• Fix: Bug in th Change Gain action.

• Feature: ”Next cue” saved in the project files.

• Fix: NI Kontakt and double click on snapshots.

• Feature: MIDI-mute (Mutes incoming MIDI on the selected plug-in).

• Fix: One of the gain knobs did not update its position.

• Fix: Bug in loading cue lists that recall global snapshots.

• Fix: MIDI-thru not saved in MIDI patch action.

LiveProfessor is designed to be a effect rack of VST plug-ins - specifically with live sound in mind. The concept is very simple: using an ASIO audio card you can route inputs and outputs through your VST plug-ins. The program supports snapshots, MIDI and both VST effects and VST instruments.

Features:

• As many VST plug-ins as your computer can handle. Both VST effects and VST instruments are supported.

• Easy routing: The matrix view makes it easy to see what is patched where.

• Snapshot automation of each plug-in: Recalls all parameters of a plug-in.

• MIDI input: To control instruments or to allow hands-on control of plug-ins.

• Fast audio engine to ensure low latency. Using a standard ASIO-card you can have as many inputs and outputs you like.
