Poise Changelog

What's new in Poise 1.1.50.77

Jan 13, 2015
  • New: Poise now shows some custom dialogs inside the Poise GUI frame. Previously these dialogs were show externally in their own window.
  • Bug Fix: Drum pad context menu Cut & Paste commands weren't working. The target pad would be reset.
  • Bug Fix: Modal dialogs would open behind the Poise GUI and host GUI in some circumstances. The host application would appear to hang

New in Poise 1.1.50.72 (Jun 23, 2014)

  • Muting drum pads when the left mouse button is released is now option. Previously drum pads were always muted.
  • Poise will now send MIDI Note events when triggering a drum pad with the mouse.
  • Bug Fix: Poise would crash if it didn't have permission to write in it's debug data directory.
  • Bug Fix: Poise was failing to recall sample layer velocity ranges correctly in some situations.
  • Bug Fix: A loud click would sometimes be heard when delaying a sample onset (using the Sample Offset control). More noticable if the sample end marker was also not on a zero-crossing.
  • Bug Fix: Some drum pad names refused to show on the GUI.
  • Bug Fix: Text in browser isn't scrambled after adding new directories.

New in Poise 1.1.50.67 (Jun 16, 2014)

  • Bug Fix: Checking for data dir shortcut could cause AV error.
  • Bug Fix: The GUI wasn't resizing in Samplitude Pro X version 12.
  • Bug Fix: Poise was unable to Normalise samples after a sample layer was duplicated.
  • Improved Geist drum kit import.
  • Samples can now be loaded via Copy and Paste. Copy samples files from windows explorer. Select a Poise drum pad then paste to load.
  • Several drum pad options have been added to the drum pad context menu. Previously these drum pad options could only be modified via unlabled graphic controls on the GUI.

New in Poise 1.1.50.50 (Jun 16, 2014)

  • Bug Fixed: Sample points don't update when they move via midi learn.
  • Bug Fixed: AIF files should now load correctly on 64-bit builds. Previously AIF files would only load on 32-bit builds.
  • Bug Fixed: Using hotkeys to change drum kits wouldn't work correctly in Reaper. The drum kit loading dialog would pop up whenever a drum kit would change. The dialog would steal the keyboard focus from Poise. The focus wasn't returned to Poise after the loading dialog closed. The problem has been fixed by making the loading dialog show inside the Poise GUI window.
  • Change: Audio Preview code has been updated to use the same sample loading code as the main audio engine. This should fix problems with some samples loading on the drum pads but not previewing.

New in Poise 1.1.50.48 (Jun 16, 2014)

  • Change: Poise will now show a message when samples can't be loaded.

New in Poise 1.0.78 (Aug 2, 2011)

  • New: Drag & Drop Export Render feature. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Drag & Drop] Drum Pad will export an automatically rendered version of the drum pad.
  • New: Geist Kit format support added.
  • New: "Render Pad To Disk" and "Save Render Only" commands.
  • New: Load Previous / Next Sample hot keys. [B / N]
  • The parameter scaling for the ADSR amplitude envelope was very poor in the lower ranges. This has been improved.
  • When attempting to edit sample files that only existed in RAM, Poise would fail silently. Now Poise will give the option to save the sample file to disk, then open the sample editor.
  • Bug Fix: The ADSR amplitude envelope didn't work correctly with very small decay times.
  • Bug Fix: Auto-select pads was temporairly disabled after selecting "edit sample with..." command
  • Bug Fix: Poise would occasionally crash when changing drum kits.

  • Bug Fix: GUI resizing in Sonar should now work.
  • Bug Fix: GUI resizing in Cubase 5.5.3 now works correctly.
  • Bug fix: Hang-on-exit bug has been fixed. This bug would only show on some machines. It was related to improper thread handling when previewing samples in the browser.
  • Bug Fix: when loading more then 8 samples, an error dialog shows. This shouldn't happen.
  • Bug Fix: Individual sample layers are now only selected by MIDI when the host sequencer is stopped. (Previously automatic drum pad selection was surpressed, but individual sample layers were still selected.

New in Poise 1.0.71 (May 26, 2011)

  • Added "Export Cell + Samples In Folder" command.
  • All .txt files whould show in the browser and drum kit menu as valid drum kits. Now only LM4 format .txt files show as kits. Regular .txt files are filtered out and hidden.
  • Bug Fix: Version 1.0.69 had issues with multi-threaded processing (FL Studio, Buzz etc).

New in Poise 1.0.69 (May 16, 2011)

  • Bug Fix: Poise would leak memory when loading older binary format kits with embedded sample data.
  • Bug Fix: MIDI input was incorrectly processed and could cause a crash if multiple MIDI events were received with identical deltaframe values.
  • Bug Fix: The sample display was not updated after the "New Drum Kit" command. This could lead to a crash.
  • Bug Fix: Poise would crash during the initialization stage if unable to find the windows application data folder. (Due to an unhandled exception.)
  • Ubuntu & Wine: Browser and drum kit menu items should now be ordered alphabetically.
  • Drum pads could click when triggered with the mouse. (Amplitude envelope release time was too short.)
  • Exported drum pads now reference sample files instead of storing sample data in the drum pad file. (Monolithic drum pad files are problematic when saving modified drum kits.)
  • Exported drum pad data is now saved using XML instead of a custom binary format.
  • Improved relative path support when saving drum kits and drum pads. Previously samples could only be saved with a relative path if they were in a directory below the location of the drum kit file. Now drum kits can be saved using fully relative paths for sample files. This will help with drum kit creation for 3rd party sample libraries.

New in Poise 1.0.66 (May 16, 2011)

  • Bug Fix: Poise failed Studio One's plugin scanning stage on some setups.
  • Improvement: Poise is now more resilient when MIDI input contains invalid MIDI events. Previously invalid MIDI data would cause Poise to crash.

New in Poise 1.0.65 (Apr 7, 2011)

  • New: Sample normalisation is now per sample and can be changed at any time. Sample normalisation used to be a global option.
  • New: Added support for pitchbend and modulation wheel MIDI input.
  • New: Added support for .gru files (GURU song format).
  • Configuration files are now saved in the Windows application data directory instead of the VST plugin directory. This prevents problems when Poise is run with limited user access privileges under Windows Vista & Windows 7.
  • Reaper x64: Added support for GUI resizing.
  • Reaper x64: Added support for hotkeys.
  • Hot keys now work in MultiTrackStudio
  • Poise now uses better quality resampling routines when loading and saving sample files.

  • Hotkey support added for Sony Acid Pro
  • Browser is much more responsive when containing many items.
  • Drum kit menu has been improved.
  • New beat-slicing algorithm for loop import. Instead of loading the first 16 beats, a loop is split into 16 approximately equal pieces. Slice points will favour distinct beats.
  • Volume range has been increased.
  • Poise now compatible with Ableton Live's parameter automation system.
  • The midi automation scheme has been improved.
  • All midi automation applies to the selected drum pads and sample layers instead of being drum pad specific.
  • More midi automation targets.
  • Midi automation bindings are automatically saved and loaded.
  • New Options dialog and several improvements to the way Options settings are handled.
  • Selectable font sizes in browser.
  • The Note Map system has been improved and renamed to Trigger Map.
  • Triger Maps contain 'region' information for each pad. (Low Note, High Note, Root Note, Midi Channel) This allows for custom pad arrangements that weren't possible with the 'Note Maps' scheme.
  • Added "Invert Drum Pads" option.
  • Rudimentary import of Battery format drum kits.
  • Rudimentary import of Guru format drum kits.
  • Import of LM4 drum kits now more forgiving. (ie doesn't throw errors when finding unexpected stuff in LM4 text files).
  • Bug fix: Drum pad amplitude envelopes have been tweaked to reduce clicks when pads are either muted or retriggered.
  • Bug fix: Sometimes the sample display would trigger an access violation error when being redrawn after loading a drum kit.
  • Bug fix: Poise would crash if it attempted to change it's output configuration in Sonar.
  • Bug Fix: Using multiple instances of Poise at the same time on a multi-core system could cause a CPU spike leading to audio drop-outs. This problem was more pronouced when triggering multiple instances simultaneously.
  • Bug Fix: Changing output counts would crash Cubase 5. Poise now defaults to 16 outputs (unless renaming the dll file). Individual outputs can be activated/ignored within Cubase 5.
  • Bug Fix: Right click an amplitude envelope knob -> "Set All Layers" would cause an error.

  • Improvement: Some general improvements when searching for lost files.
  • Improvement: Drum kit data folders aren't shown in the browser anymore.
  • Improvement: [Ctrl + Alt + Drag and drop one pad to another pad] will set up a pad link.
  • Improvement: Triggering a pad with the mouse now also triggers all linked pads.
  • Improvement: Pads are now triggered with different velocities depending on where they are clicked.
  • Improvement: Layers triggered with the mouse will trigger with appropiate velocities.

  • Improvement: When clicking a pad, the triggered layer will automatically be shown.
  • Improvement: All previous search paths are used when searching for a missing sample file.
  • Improvement: 'Learn all trigger notes' now works a little differently.
  • Bug Fix: When importing a cell, velocity ranges were sometimes restored incorrectly.
  • Bug Fix: Loading more then 8 sample files on a pad would lead to a crash.
  • Bug Fix: When dragging a sample from one pad to another, multiple samples would sometimes be moved.

  • Bug Fix: Resaving a drum kit using the "Save Drum Kit + Samples in Folder" option would cause the existing sample files to be deleted.
  • Bug Fix: Amplitude envelope knobs were sometimes not updated to show the correct value.
  • Bug Fix: The browser will sometimes automatically adjust it's position after a folder is opened or closed. If it does, the mouse cursor position will change relative to the position of the browser and in some cases a sample file would be previewed.

New in Poise 1.0.13 (Jan 28, 2010)

  • Improvement: Pads now have a voice mode property (Mono/Poly).
  • Poly is the default and allows pads to play overlapped notes.
  • Mono prevents notes from overlapping.
  • Improvement: 'Pad Release mode' has been replaced by 'Play Mode'.
  • Improvement: Choke groups have been replaced by the more flexible Cut/Cut by scheme. Poise did have Cut/Cut by functionality but it was a non-standard implementation and was confusing to use.
  • Improvement: The Auto, Name and Samples buttons have all been removed. Their purpose was either cryptic or unnecessary.
  • The Auto button has been replaced by a 'Select pad with midi notes' in the drum pad context menu.
  • The Name button has been replaced by a 'View' option in the drum pad context menu.
  • Improvement: The pad output selection control has changed from a numeric knob to a pop-up menu.
  • Improvement: The pad mute/solo indicators are now less visually overwhelming.
  • Improvement: Cut/Cut by drum pad indicators are now the same color as the drum pad text.
  • Improvement: The pitch knobs were impossible to adjust accurately. They now snap to semitone and cent values.
  • Improvement: Pad Lock added. When loading a drum kit, locked pads will not be altered.
  • Improvement: The hot key routines have been tweaked slightly to improve support for having multiple Poise GUIs open at the same time. (Hot keys were linked to the most recent opened GUI.) This hasn't been tested extensively but appears to work correctly so far.
  • Bug Fix: The pad layer mode button wasn't updated when loading a sample on an empty drum pad.
  • Bug Fix: Folders not containing any samples or child folders were unable to be closed.
  • Bug Fix: Linked pads didn't receive note-off events.
  • Bug Fix: Help text in status bar would disappear after adjusting a knob, even when the cursor was still above the knob.
  • Bug Fix: Mute and Solo light colours on the drum pad weren't set correctly when reading skin config.ini file.
  • Bug Fix: [Podium] Poise would steal focus from Podium when the GUI was opened. Even when hot keys weren't enabled.

New in Poise 1.0.11 (Jan 22, 2010)

  • New: Added an ADSR envelope.
  • New: Added a Pad Link option. A drum pad will be trigged when it's linked pad triggers.
  • New: Support added for midi note names. (Midi note will show the name of the drum pad.)
  • Improvement: Made changes to the Amplitude envelope drawing process to improve envelope visibility.
  • Improvement: Phase flipped samples are now drawn correctly. They were being drawn identically to non flipped samples.
  • Bug Fix: The Poise GUI was consuming excess CPU cycles when the browser was visible.
  • Bug Fix: Midi learn menu wasn't responding to mouse clicks.
  • Bug Fix: Poise wasn't opening files correctly. In some situations this could lead to a crash. (Files were being opened with share mode set for exclusive use.)
  • Bug Fix: The GUI was using excess CPU when covered by another window. (The Choke and Output numeric controls weren't updated correctly).

New in Poise 1.0.10.4 (Aug 10, 2009)

  • Reaper 2 didn't support Vst's changing their GUI size. Poise worked around this by changing Reaper's Vst container window size directly. As of Reaper 3 this work-around seems to be causing problems and Reaper 3 now appears to support Vst GUI size changes (via the standard VST interface. :) The work-around has been disabled for Reaper version 3 and up.
  • Instead of using the left and right mouse buttons to individually grab the loop start and loop end markers in the wave display, the left mouse button will now always grab and move the closest. (The old method didn't work correctly sometimes)
  • This frees up the right mouse button to show a context menu when the sample is right clicked for sample operations such as reverse or phase flip. These options are often missed by new users.
  • Output selection is now limited by available outputs instead of the max 16.
  • Velcicty Ex. mode now displayed as Velocity instead of Vel.Ex.
  • "Hotkeys" and "One Click Trigger" options now enabled by default.
  • Paremeter reset (for knobs) now also works with Ctrl+Click.
  • Bugfix: When editing a velocity range, the selected layer sometimes wouldn't update correctly.
  • Bugfix: Initially, the upper limit of the velocity range sliders were being set to 127 instead of being normalised to the 0..1 range.
  • Bugfix: The visibility state of the labels wasn't being updated correctly when switching skins. Labels were failing to appear.
  • Bugfix: Paremeter reset wouldn't work if no samples were loaded on a drum pad.

New in Poise 1.0.10.3 (Jun 29, 2009)

  • Fix: Oops, didn't wire up the midi through option properly.

New in Poise 1.0.10.2 (Jun 29, 2009)

  • New hotkey: SHIFT+ENTER will replace the currently selected sample.
  • Added option to flip the phase of a sample. (Right click the sample layer icon in the waveform display.)
  • Midi pass through is now optional. By default Poise will pass though all midi in all hosts except Podium. (The midi pass though setting is saved per project.)

New in Poise 1.0.10.1 (Jun 16, 2009)

  • Fixed: When loading drum kits, Poise wouldn't find the samples after the drum kit file was moved.

New in Poise 1.0.9.8 (Apr 2, 2009)

  • New: "Poise.dll" file can be renamed to "Poise xx Out.dll" where xx specifies the number of outputs. (1 to 16 stereo outputs are valid). This allows Poise with different output configurations to be used in hosts which do not support plugins with variable input/output configuartions (such as EnergyXT 2 or Bidule).
  • Fixed: Hosts that do not support plugins changing their input/output counts would crash.
  • Possible Fix: Replacing a sample in Podium could cause a crash.

New in Poise 1.0.9.3 (Jan 19, 2009)

  • Modified save routines. Some drum kits were not loading properly and kit could become corrupt. If anybody has any problems loading drum kits please let me know.
  • Rename now renames all selected pads.
  • Poise allows multiple cells and layers to be selected, but de-selecting them hasn't been intuitive. Cell and layer de-selection now works as it does in windows. (ie. Click selected item and release).
  • The way the delete key works hase been changed.
  • Add samples to a drum cell, press delete, only the newly added layers will be deleted.
  • Click on a drum pad, press delete, the entire drum cell will be deleted.
  • Select a cell layer, press delete, only the selected layer will be deleted.
  • The layer selection method has changed to improve consistency.
  • Double click no longer selects/deselects all layers.
  • Dragging a layer no longer moves the layer.
  • Dragging across the layers now selects those layers, the same as dragging across the drum pads.
  • Dragging layers from the wave display to a drum pad will move the selected layers to the new pad.
  • When multiple drum pads are selected, Pad de-selection has been changed to mimic Windows.
  • Added a 'Progress' dialog when loading and saving drum kits. The dialog boxes are optional. Reaper users are recommended to turn them off.
  • One click to trigger a pad option added.
  • Added mouse wheel support for the browser. (Can somebody confirm if it works or not. I don't own a mouse with a mouse wheel.).
  • Poise will now ask for a temporary file folder if a sample needs to be edited or copied and the sample file doesn't exist.
  • Browser can now see drum kit files (.dkt). Load drum kits by dropping on a pad or pressing enter.
  • The 'End' key triggers the selected drum pad.
  • Updated some skin functionality. - Skins now use a config.ini file instead of a config.txt file. The INI file format is easier to read and edit.
  • New skin variables added.
  • SelectedNodeColor
  • SelectedNodeAlpha (Valid values range from 0 to 255)
  • Cells and Drumkits now have icons when viewed in the browser.
  • "Save Kit + Embed Samples" changed to "Export Kit (one large file)". Functionality remains the same.

  • A couple of checks have been added to ensure sample data isn't lost when saving projects or drum kits.
  • Updated about box, added credits for skin creators.
  • Poise is drag+drop compatible with ImageLine Edison again.
  • Fixed: CPU spike bug. When triggering long samples (5 seconds+) the CPU load would spike, causing audio dropouts in some circumstances.
  • Fixed: Renaming pads would trigger a window's warning sound.
  • Fixed: The pitch envelope wasn't being reset properly when a drum voice was retriggered.
  • Fixed: Sample offset wasn't being saved.
  • Fixed: After loading a drum kit, the sample path info could sometimes be incorrect leading to 'missing' samples.
  • Fixed: Poise was holding onto excess ram after loading patches.
  • Fixed: The mouse-over indicator on the sample list box didn't update correctly when the mouse left via the top of the control.
  • Fixed a problem with GUI scaling.
  • Fixed: When saving a FXP or FXB in EnergyXT, Poise would still capture keystrokes.

New in Poise 1.0.9 (Dec 16, 2008)

  • New: Added a release mode parameter for each drum pad.
  • Release mode can have three values. No Release, Release on retrigger and release on note-off.
  • Release mode controls how Poise responds to note-on and note-off events.
  • Fixed: Triggering a cell after swapping could cause audio artifacts.
  • Fixed: Swapping a cell with one on a selected drum pad could cause audio artifacts.
  • Fixed: Sample Layer knobs didn't update correctly with no samples loaded. IE. Their behaviour was very funky.
  • Fixed: Non 44100 samplerate releated bug.
  • Fixed: Several GUI components were not using the colours specified by the skin config file.
  • Fixed: Samples weren't always triggered when velocity was on the edge of its velocity range.
  • Fixed: The balance parameter recall has again been 'fixed'.
  • Fixed: When reseting a pad, the waveform display wasn't updated correctly.

New in Poise 1.0.8 (Nov 12, 2008)

  • Improved skin support.
  • Added a skin config file (config.txt) to allow font colours and other attributes to be changed.
  • Added a 'skins' directory. The skins directory holds multiple skins. (Each skin should be in it's own sub-directory). The active skin can be changed in Poise's main menu.
  • Sample playback has been optimised.
  • Improved velocity range editing.
  • Added 'Split Velocity Ranges' function.
  • Added 'Remove Overlaps' function.
  • Added copy/paste functions to copy ranges from one pad to another.
  • Can now edit the velocity ranges while using 'Velocity' mode. Before the velocity ranges were calculated automatically.
  • It is now possible to select several sample layers (shift+click) and edit values for all sample layers simutaneously. Double clicking a sample layer will select all sample layers.
  • New shortcuts:
  • F2: rename current pad.
  • F5: show/hide the browser.
  • F6: Preview on/off.
  • F7: Auto select pad on/off.
  • Consistency between the different layer modes has been improved.
  • Dropping a sample on a pad will always load the sample to a new layer.
  • Dropping a sample on the waveform display will replace the current sample.
  • NOTE: Dropping multiple samples on the waveform display will replace multiple samples. If there are no samples to replace, the samples will be loaded as normal. When replacing samples. The first selected sample will be replaced first.
  • Changed: When editing multiple pads, editing sample layer specific parameters (Amplitude attack, decay etc, ) will apply to all layers on all selected pads. Previously edits were only applied to the currently selected layer on the current pad.
  • Browser child node indent has been made smaller, to help limit the sideways drift.
  • Added option to clear trigger notes.
  • Changed the way samples are dragged from the browser. The change may have fixed the problem with the browser tree sometimes collapsing.
