Bug Fixes

  • many bug fixes, and new bugs!
  • one important bug fix: Synchronic wasn't handling "skip first" correctly in 2.4; this is corrected, but it may mean that Galleries will have to be changed to have them behave as expected.

JUCE Modules

Any of you building bitKlavier from source will need to include one module, SFZero (for SoundFonts):

SFZero.zip

This needs to be added to the project using the Projucer; see the JUCE documentation for more info. Also, these are our own versions of these modules, with some minor revisions that we've made for bitKlavier, so be sure to use these and not others you might find elsewhere.
