New in PianoCheetah 06Apr (Mar 25, 2010)

- EdiSn can now auto-chop-up a long wav of several songs by silent spots into individual wav files per song
- Ditty now strips common path prefixes outa filenames in the songlist

- spiffed docs for Ditty to include keyboard mappings (plenty of em)
- sf2SFont now uses a _ prefix for the new pset files thrown into SFont dir
- ditty now sorts those to the end of the list per drum/inst
- rating a sound from _ to non _ leaves your current pos so you don't have o scoot all the way back to rate next sound
New in PianoCheetah 06Jan (Mar 25, 2010)
- Dtty now does KEYS for (rather lame) midi input (finallly)
- z and row to right have low c notes (with sharps in row above)
- q and row to right have middle c notes (with sharps above)
- cursor down/up change the note velocity (default of 100)
- cursor left/right change octave (default of 4 for z row, 5 for q row)
- f1-f8 do toolbar buttons
- f9-f12 do arrow buttons (value editing for rightmost arrows)
- shift f9-shift f12 do leftmost arrow buttons
- edit song by hand and put in SECTIONS: block with
- marker strings in order/reps desired -
- markers MUST be on a bar boundary currently
- ditty can skip forward/back a section via EdTime
- puts converted (non gm default) .sf2 presets into
- SFont\_\SFPre\psetname.pset for non gm and
- SFont\_\GMDir\GMPre_SFPre.pset for gm nondefault
- SFont\Drum\_\grp\sym\sym_SFPre.pset for drums
- This way you can easily review the NEW presets in the _ dirs and kill em all off if you want or get em in the right GM dirs and move em to your main "all sorted out" dirs.
