MIDI Tapper Beta 73

June 21, 2017

This new version of MIDI Tapper is introduced 10 days early to fix some rather embarrassing bugs introduced in the last update. Most importantly, MIDI file exporting now works properly again. Display issues related to the note shapes feature, such as notes disappearing in various circumstances, have also been fixed.

This release includes a few speed optimisations, and further improves playback accuracy. Though it's not likely that you'll need to move the main window during playback, that can now be done without stalling. Conductor playback has been improved, though if the window is very large there still may be timing problems. Feedback especially from Windows users on this point will be much appreciated, since I develop on a Mac, and the only Windows machine I have to work with is rather old and slow at this point.

Beta 73 also includes some new cosmetics. Notes can now "fade-in" and "fade-out". Using both options at once may be a bit much, but I find one or the other to be a reasonably tasteful effect, for example fading out only.

You can also now replace the black background with a .jpg?t=03282024 or .png?t=03282024 image. Photos of sky or water work fairly well.

Combined with all the different note shapes, colors, and heights, these new options are intended to provide even more ways to give a project individual visual character.

To see a full list of bugs fixed and improvements made, visit the product page, where you can download the update, try it out, and send feedback. A beta licenses costs 2.99 € and is valid for all subsequent beta releases.

Regards,
Aaron
