wcnt-1.26.1 Released!!

[James Morris]

wcnt-1.26.1

http://wcnt.sourceforge.net

(linux source code only)

First release of wcnt-1.26 after the pre releases...

NEW MODULES:

* trig_counter (module)
outputs n triggers when it's input triggers. can ignore n triggers
before doing so. stops outputing when n triggers counted, or can
wrap around so out_count output wraps also. out_count + out_trig
can be used much like the timer's out_count + out_trig or the
time_maps out_bar + out_bar_trig for triggering exit or file
writing, but more besides...

* trig_echo (module)
a module to echo triggers. it's out_count output is the number
of times this particular echoed trigger will trigger until
fade out. out_velocity outputs out_count as a value between
0 ~ 1.

* trig_router (module)
a module which creates n wcnt_trigger modules and groups them
into a group named as it's username. it connects to an out_trig
and out_count outputs to decide which of the wcnt_trigger modules
it created should be triggered. hint: rudimentry polyphony.

* group_control (module)
this module has a single parameter: group_name where the name
of a group to be controlled is specified. it also has two
inputs, in_play_trig and in_stop_trig. basically, this module
steals all the group modules from the main module list so it
can control when they are processed. hint: rudimentry polyphony.

* sample_climb (module)
works like a sample_hold module in reverse: it grabs a sample
when triggered, and uses it as a target to climb/descend to.
output = output + (target - output) * rate (like square_wave).

* inspector (module)
an nicely arkward to use module for displaying the values of
various outputs when triggered. more for me than anyone else.

wcnt now has over 80 modules...(81 to be precise)

CHANGES:
* wavfile_out (module)
now has snapshot_mode parameter. adds the date and time (down
to the millisecond) to the filename being written. via the
trig_counter module it can now be used (provided snapshot_mode
is on) -( very much like the serial_wavfile_out module )- to
output a sequential series of WAVs.

* square_wave (module)
the square_wave can now introduce some curves into the harsh
square flip-flop digital waveform.
uses a simple output += (target - output) * rate method. lacks
frequency scaling though, which could be a good thing or not.

* user_wave (module)
vertices which (via modulation) collide with previous vertices
will be dropped from the waveform - as opposed to causing
nasty peaks(previous version). makes an interesting twanging
sound.

RE-CODED:
* many things which should not make any difference to the user,
except maybe a marginal speed increase in some situations.

-------------

NOTES:
* tested it as much i can by myself and without any strict
regime. i will have missed something...

* documentation is very much out of date now, sorry. the only
thing I can offer right now is the occasional comment in the
examples, and tests (directories of .wc files bundled with
source code).

wcnt-1.26.4

http://wcnt.sourceforge.net

some minor adjustments to features and a bug fixed:

* param_editor
aswell as editing parameters to completely new values
(as it always has done) it can now add, subtract, divide
or multiply existing values (for numeric parameters only).

* LADSPA_PATH environment variable
only needs to be set if LADSPA plugins are not installed
in the path "/usr/local/lib/ladspa/:/usr/lib/ladspa/".

* fixed logic of numeric parameters range checking code.

wcnt-1.26.4

[James Morris]

and 10 tutorial style .wc files

[James Morris]

wcnt-1.26.3 now available. Mainly a bugfix release, but also completely removes mandatory specification of bpm and time signature from the 'header' portion of a .wc file.

[James Morris]

yep, wcnt-1.26.2 is now available - much as it says on the tin...

^^^ location @ links above ^^^

[James Morris]

wcnt-1.26.2 (coming up shortly ... tommorrow)
* switcher/spreader/combiner no longer restricted to using wcnt_signal modules - can now use any module which provides an out_output output.

* mixer no longer restricted to using mix_chan modules - can now use any module which provides out_left + out_right outputs.

* state_gate_trig has new output, out_not_trig which triggers when in_state is off and in_trig triggers.

wcnt-1.26.2 will be coming up shortly...
