Software Updates, CSE Licenses Now Available

October 04, 2010

Today marks the release of new software updates for all major H-Pi software, including bug fixes, improved features, and new features. Autoupdating of all applications is now routed to the new server space inhabited by the H-Pi website.

Custom Scale Editor 2.5.0 features a number of improvements concerning the ScratchPad and Units windows, and now allows unlocking the Live Input window via direct purchase of a license, whereas previous versions required purchase of TBX1 to unlock the Live Input feature.

ScalaVista scale browser 1.0.4, includes the latest Scala archive from July 2010 from the Huygens-Fokker website, featuring over 3800 scales for your perusal. This software for Mac and Windows is a very popular download, and continues to be absolutely free.

Lo-Fi Microsynth (HPLF) 1.0.6 Mac stand-alone Hz-based, multi-channel additive software synthesizer addresses a few MIDI input issues for some USB-MIDI controllers, as well as older active sensing controllers, if you happen to have a MIDI interface that does not filter out active sensing messages.

Plexus Synth Control (PXSC) 1.0.2, a free Roland GS-based editor for Tonal Plexus synthesizers, addresses a Windows startup crash that was occurring for some new users who had not previously installed any other H-Pi software.

Scordatura 1.0.9 notation retuner and control surface design tool for Mac also addresses USB-MIDI input issues, as well as minor project import and export bugs. A 16-tone keyboard project is also included as an additional example of the control surface design feature.

Xentone 1.1.5 microtonal ear trainer includes a new feature: microtonal melodies. You can create your own melodies as XML files and hear and see them notated in Xentone. As a basic feature at this release, any rhythms can be input, but rhythmic notation is not yet implemented.

Tonal Plexus Editor (TPXE) 1.6.1 fixes some bugs associated with the Shapes window, and now allows user shapes files to include negative values, a feature recently requested by a new Tonal Plexus owner.

As you may already know, H-Pi software is updated on a regular basis in response to user input. Thanks to those of you who use my software and help me make it better by reporting issues and requesting new features.
