Added DSPNet Listener.exe application! Now you can visually view what is happening inside FMOD Ex's DSP network while your application runs, over TCP/IP.
Added ability to change output driver at runtime on windows and macintosh without restarting or reloading data.
Added ability to be notified when the number of attached audio devices changes. (Windows and Mac only).
Optimized FMOD_DSP_LOWPASS_SIMPLE and FMOD_DSP_ITLOWPASS effects.
Improved MIDI playback and DLS support.
Many other improvements with programmer API functionality.
FMOD Designer updates! Designer is now at version 4.11, changes include:
Added a "Language" drop-down box to the global toolbar. Use this to add, edit and select languages. Controls wave source paths and filename prefixes.
Added an "Occlusion" effect. This lets you set the cutoff for the built in lowpass filter effect instead of using extra memory to add new lowpass filters to each event.
Added pre- and post-save commands. These can be used for source control management and file pre- or post-processing.
Added the BuildFiles macro for pre- and post-build commands (gives a list of all output files for this build)
Added a "Spawn intensity randomization" Event property. The event spawn intensity is randomized based on this value when the event is started.
Added a Message Log window which keeps a log of all status, warning and error messages for the current Designer session. This window can be shown/hidden with the View->Message Log menu entry.
Added a "Pitch randomization units" Event property. If this property is set to a unit other than Octaves, the randomly generated pitch variation is snapped to exact multiples of that unit.
Added a "Pitch units" Event property, allowing event pitch to be specified in Octaves (fractional), Tones or Semitones
Added the ability to edit effect envelope colours via the context menu
Added "Open in external editor" commands to the context menus for wavebank entries and sound definition entries (uses the system file type association)
Improved performance of the event editor
Added support for MinGW toolchain and Designer source code compilation with Qt/OpenSource (for licensed developers).
User interface now consistent across Windows and Mac
Added "ProgrammerSelected" to sound definition "Play mode". Use this to allow the programmer to choose sound definition entries at runtime.
