Summary of Changes for Build 10 (Sept 9, 2016)

  • ADDED: Improved support for time-based VST plugin features. Synchronization / tempo lock now works for plugins such as JamStix, Addictive Drums, EZ Drummer, and RapidComposer. This allows, for example, plugins like JamStix Virtual Drummer to generate and play drum arrangements in real-time.



Summary of Fixes for Build 9 (Aug 3, 2016)

  • Added: Support for Xtra Styles.
  • Improved: Faster generation of Loops or UserTracks in some cases.
  • Fixed: Song Title now uses a text edit control that pops up on top of the Song Title field, so that the editing it will work like a normal edit control.
  • Fixed: Pressing the Chorus Begin button didn't usually update the text of the button.
  • Fixed: loading in an BB song with an early ending wasn't generating the early ending correctly.
  • Fixed: TGS files were not loading at all for RB 2016 when loading in a BB song.

  • Fixed: Clicking snap button in Tracks Window visually released the long button.
  • Fixed: nodes sometimes showing to the left of the overview section in the Tracks Window.
  • Fixed: track volume, chorus, reverb, modulation not set to default values.
  • Fixed: track categories not reset to defaults in a new song.
  • Fixed: Undo of generating a RT didn't always work.
  • Fixed: recording of mixer moves didn't usually create the corresponding volume nodes.
  • Fixed: issue of RB freezing when loading demo with DRMNBAS.STY.
  • Fixed: Importing a WAV file removed all track categories.
  • Fixed: Selecting "DRMNBAS.STY" in the StylePicker and hitting the Load Song Demo caused RB to crash with an Access Violation.
  • Fixed: Selecting Note Names: Channel Numbers in Notation Window Options shows numbers on the notes heads, but they don't correspond to MIDI channels at all.
  • Fixed: Triplets not written to XML file correctly if a triplet began with a rest.

  • Fixed: Changing a part marker in a song when the song is scrolled to the 2nd page of the chords window might result in the window jumping back to the beginning of the song.

  • Fixed: Access violation for paste with data filter and ctrl-7.
