Blockhead v0.21.1 alpha (Patreon)

Update Notes:

The macOS build is still not notarized so you probably have to jump through hoops to open it.

The Linux build tends to crash a lot on my computer when trying to change audio device settings. Usually some nebulous ALSA errors will be output to the console.Audio stream setup in Blockhead is handled by this library so if any Linux people feel like figuring out what I'm doing so wrong then be my guest.

Update: All plugin blocks (samplers, synths and effects) now support mouse gestures if the plugin contains gesturable parameters.

        Note: The current gesturable parameters are still            - Amp (Shift + Click + Up/Down)            - Pitch (Shift + Control + Click + Up/Down)            - Sample Offset (Shift + Click + Left/Right)            - Choke Level/Tilt (Shift + Alt + Click + Mouse Movement)

Update: The minimum allowed size for a block when performing a slice is now 10 frames (up from 5)Update: The minimum allowed size for a block while resizing is now 10 frames (down from 64)Update: Choke envelope grabbers now show up when the cursor is hovering anywhere within the blockUpdate: 'Clear' button is now hidden for toggle/option manipulator editor when in 'Static' modeBugfix: Crash on exit if at least one input channel is activeBugfix: Crash when smooth transitions are disabled on a meta blockBugfix: Possible crash on exitBugfix: Likely crash when trying to load any project which contains manipulator for which the destination is set to block / block instance modeBugfix: Possible crash while trying to open a broken project fileBugfix: Resizing the sidebar is very laggy and can cause a crashBugfix: Smaple load task is not aborted if there is an error while reading frames (which can also cause Blockhead to hang on exit)Bugfix: Blockhead gets stuck on "Loading Frames..." during project load in some situationsBugfix: Undo/redo message for setting smooth transitions is brokenBugfix: Effects submenu sometimes appears in the wrong place on screenBugfix: Blocks sometimes get stuck in some kind of weird floating state where they are detached from the workspaceBugfix: Various subsystems which are supposed to be blocked while the settings window is open (such as workspace panning/zooming) become unblocked after changing the font sizeBugfix: Zooming and panning at the same time causes the workspace view to jump erraticallyBugfix: Parameter "Enabled" checkbox is not properly synchronized between cloned blocksBugfix: File browser applies the search filter based on the full directory path of each item instead of just the file nameBugfix: Amplitude manipulation is not calculated correctly when the manipulator is in offset modeBugfix: Inconsistent snapping behavior due to dragged blocks sometimes snapping to themselvesBugfix: Manipulators in offset mode do not apply their transformation correctly in certain corner casesBugfix: Sample load errors are not aligned properly within the sampler blockBugfix: Very tiny blocks cannot be moved when zoomed all the way inBugfix: Block spinner control mouse-over text sometimes gets stuck onBugfix: Choke lane coloring doesn't always workBugfix: Sidebar tabs get squashed together when Blockhead starts up, if font size is set to 'Big'Bugfix: Grouped modulation parameter buttons are misaligned, if font size is set to 'Big'Bugfix: Items in the block list are blank until they are resizedBugfix: Clear button has no effect for toggle/option manipulatorsBugfix: Clear button mouse-over text for toggle/option manipulators says "Clear Chord Blocks"Internal: Block controls are now no longer moved around in the scene tree while manipulating them, which should hopefully solve some obscure/random crashesInternal: The block choke envelope editor now always floats above the active block rather than being moved into the subscene

Plugin Updates:

Feature: New Gainer utility effect addedUpdate: Synth plugins (Berk and Test Synth) now have Amp, Pan and Pitch slidersBugfix: Wavebender likely to crash when attempting to perform a bounce on itBugfix: Filter frequencies are not clamped when applying offset modulationBugfix: Filter effects don't properly reset themselves (these two bugs together could result in filters permanently breaking until the project is reloaded)Bugfix: Fudge 'Uniformity' parameter not manipulatableBugfix: Berk's Pan envelope has no effect
