CHANGELOG:

Release notes for EZdrummer 3.0.3

CHANGES
General
• Added a MIDI Mapping Layout window which can be opened through the Help menu or from instrument right-click menus.
• It is now possible to save your own Drum Kit presets.
• Mixer-only presets in some older EZXs can now be loaded – a “Mixers” submenu has been added.
• A splash screen is shown at startup of the standalone (to earlier show that something is happening). In a DAW, the same image is shown in the plug-in window the first time it is opened in a session (while the normal interface is being prepared to be shown).
• The error dialog for when an audio file could not be read has been redesigned.

Song Track
• “Add Groove” has been renamed to “Add Standard Groove.”
• A menu has been added to the right of the displayed time signature and tempo. The time signature and tempo editors can be opened from this menu.
• In the tempo editor, it is now possible to multi-select nodes with cmd-click on Mac and ctrl-click on Windows, as well as with shift-click.
• Duplicating a song track now uses a letter within parentheses instead of a number to distinguish the copy.
• The progress dialog for exporting audio has been redesigned.
• Audio export error messages have been improved.
• When exporting stems, the filenames now contain the mixer channel names instead of channel numbers.

Edit Play Style
• The Options menu now contains the same Quantize submenu as the instrument right-click menus.

Drums Tab
• Specific articulations can now be previewed in the instrument selection view.
• The Use Preset Stack menu has been modified to be easier to understand.

Grooves Tab
• Web Shop MIDI libraries are now separated by headers, so you can easily see if a library is from an EZX, an SDX or a MIDI pack.

Grid Editor
• It is now possible to mute or solo a range of instruments: press the mouse on a mute or solo button and drag over the other instruments.

Mixer Tab
• The scrollbars are slightly thicker now.

Bandmate
• When a generated Bandmate groove is selected (as opposed to a groove taken from the Grooves tab), “Generated Groove” is written in parentheses on the drum groove block.
• Moving audio or switching between All Notes and Tonal Notes now shows a progress indicator next to “Amount” while the MIDI is being generated.
• When the Velocity and Swing knobs are working, an animation is shown.

E-Drums/MIDI In
• The “E-Drums” view has been renamed to “E-Drums/MIDI In.”
• Added support for Bank Select and Program Change.
• Added a setting for MIDI In Channel.
• Added an option to the instrument menu to automatically select the played instrument.
• Added an option to show notes and keys at the same time in the mapping view.
• Changing the hi-hat pedal range now shows a “tooltip” with the value.
• Editing the velocity curve now applies to all selected instruments.
• The velocity editor is now disabled when its power button is off.

Settings
• “Restore MIDI Database” will now preserve user-added MIDI libraries and favorites (in libraries that are still available).

Standalone
• The current project name (and on Mac the project file icon) is now shown in the title bar (unless no project has been saved or loaded).
• Launching the standalone on Windows on a display with a scale other than 100% is now faster because the window uses the correct size and scale at once.

BUG FIXES
General
• On Windows, the VST 3 plug-in can now correctly be scaled by hosts in HiDPI mode and dragging, for example to the song track, should now work without any offsets.
• On Windows, “Reset to Default Size and Scale” in the View menu did not always work as intended.
• On Windows, if the host window was minimized and unminimized, the external windows (detached tabs) could in some cases pop up again, be blank and refuse to be closed.
• Many menu options and shortcuts that should have been disabled whenever recording was active were not disabled.
• Locating the sounds (the folder with EZXs and MIDI) at startup did not make the Grooves tab (and anything else needing the MIDI database) work.
• If two notes with the same key overlap, the note off from the first note is no longer played, so that not both notes are stopped.

Song Track
• Stopping when count-in is active no longer rewinds the track.
• Adding a new song track did not create it with the tempo and time signature of the current track.

Edit Play Style
• Adding hits with Amount on the Power Hand instrument and then moving the Power Hand sign to a different instrument would make the new Power Hand instrument play only the hits that were added with Amount, not the original hits.
• Some of the quantize menu options did not quantize with correct note lengths/positions.
• Various fixes for editing percussion instruments with Future Hit capabilities.
• Clicking the on/off button on the tambourine or shaker pad in 6/8 did not work and made the Amount knob stop working too.
• The Opening Hit and Power Hand signs were badly positioned for certain smaller instruments.

Song Creator
• Right-clicking a block on the song track and selecting “Use with Song Creator” would always search with the whole original block even if it had been resized or edited in other ways.
• Modified velocities in the source groove were not honored by the Song Creator.
• Saving an arrangement containing a custom song part could cause a crash.

Drums Tab
• Audio was not possible to drag from Cubase and Studio One to the audio drop zone in the instrument selection view.
• The library menu in the instrument selection view was incorrectly positioned at scales other than 100%.
• Clicking at certain places in the instrument selection view would incorrectly close it.

Grooves Tab
• In Groove Parts, previewing Sidestick did not play the correct snare articulation.

Grid Editor
• Certain grid editor changes were not preserved when a project was saved and loaded if changes had been made in Edit Play Style earlier.
• Pasted notes were humanized although the Humanize setting was off.
• Switching to the Pencil tool when notes were selected did not update the active Humanize style.
• Various fixes and improvements for editing percussion instruments with Future Hit capabilities.
• Changing an instrument (in the Drums tab) to one with a different number of articulations did not properly update the grid editor rows.
• Zooming with mouse wheel did not work below the last instrument in the left part of the grid editor.
• Clicking on a velocity bar would make tooltips in the velocity editor no longer work until the mouse was moved out from the velocity editor.

Mixer Tab
• Clicking overlapping toms shown in a mixer channel could trigger the wrong one.
• Selecting multiple channels and MIDI-learning some control in them (for example the volume slider) would only highlight the control in one of the channels.

Bandmate
• Several fixes and improvements to the internal algorithms used by the Bandmate.
• The Bandmate view did not always get focus when MIDI or audio was dropped there.
• A scrollbar would sometimes inadvertently appear below the source groove.
• It was not possible to set a tempo with decimals.
• Names and images of Amount knobs were not updated correctly in all cases when using certain EZXs.
• The menus opened by menu buttons in Matching Grooves would appear too far down if the list had been scrolled down.

E-Drums/MIDI In
• Fixed hi-hat positional sensing in Roland TD-50X.
• Fixes to cymbal choking in Pearl Mimic Pro, Alesis Strike and Alesis Strike Pro presets.
• When there was no hi-hat pedal control in the selected e-drum preset, the calibration slider could become poorly positioned. It is now disabled with such presets.
• The hi-hat transitions menu in e-drums is now disabled if the loaded EZX does not contain any hi-hat that is affected by that setting.
• It was not possible to undo changes in the velocity editor.
• In the velocity editor, it was possible to add nodes to the right of the rightmost node, resulting in invalid velocity curves.

Standalone
• On Windows, rescaling sometimes made the entire window grey/empty for a moment.
• On Windows, the “Adjust Scale” dialog (shown when the main window was dragged to a display with a different scale) had several graphical issues that have been fixed.
