New in Ribs 1.2.3 Beta (Oct 2, 2019)

  • New features:
  • FX mode to use Ribs without MIDI
  • "Env" refill mode
  • Standalone builds (multichannel not available yet)
  • More stable “simple” filter model
  • Formant filter
  • Even gaps distribution option
  • GUI rearrangement
  • Improvements:
  • REFILL THIS in common buf mode always refills common buf
  • Buffers are filling only when the host is playing
  • Simple smoothing on buffer and selection edges to prevent high freq clicks
  • Filter envelope behavior with short notes
  • Old ("reson") filter model frequency mapping precision
  • MIDI CC value mapping for playrate and step params to set them more accurate
  • When switching from POLY to MONO last used monophonic voice will be used for the next note if possible
  • Increased max grain overlap
  • Gain compensation in grain overlaps
  • Minor optimizations
  • Fixes:
  • AGC speed change from manual to auto
  • Grain length computation with large negative step value
  • If filter cut-off is proportional to the playrate it takes into account buffer selection while scratching the waverorm
  • Reaction on changing sample rate on the fly
  • Refill tempo logic with common buf
  • State saving and restore problem from v1.2.0
  • Minor GUI related issues
  • Other changes:
  • Default refill mode is NOTES now, default wobble int and ext are on (easier for new users)
  • Default gaps mono/stereo param state is stereo
  • Menu for picked buf param is called on r click of the picked tab, menu for request picked buf param is called by r clicking any other tab.
  • Shows tooltips by default
  • Known issues:
  • Standalone build:
  • App may require restart after audio and midi settings were changed

New in Ribs 1.1.0 Beta (Oct 2, 2019)

  • New features:
  • Obsolete buffer contents are considered valid
  • "Run" refill mode
  • Channel configuration for hosts with channel range restrictions
  • Scratching playhead on mouse drag + added "aiming playhead" param
  • Beat ratio matrix randomization parameter + "align others" menu item in ratio controls
  • "Use matrix for NOTES" param
  • When filter follows a note its cut-off frequency used as minimal freq
  • Shows buffer update position
  • Improvements:
  • Flt envelope control
  • Flt glide during playhead glide
  • Pitch control in NOTES mode with small step values
  • Increased max grain overlap
  • Gliding from very long grains (BEAT mode included)
  • Refill tempo event timing has per-voice time offset
  • Parameter names and descriptions
  • Zooming on the waveform sides
  • Controls that have no effect are grayed out
  • Fixes:
  • Multi-input extrude
  • Menu items checked state display
  • Selection end drawing
  • Multiple grain engine fixes
  • Removed "show tooltips" param ("aiming playhead" is on its place now)
  • Rare partial GUI freezing bug
  • Known issues:
  • Playhead glide time may vary in granular modes

New in Ribs 1.0.1 Beta (Oct 2, 2019)

  • Minor bug fixes
