v2.55pre1 has landed...

v2.55pre1 - January 18 2009 + Fixed hang on MIDI bank/program file change + Fixed metronome stutter on first downbeat + Fixed VST compatability with plug-ins that send MIDI events from UI/etc + Fixed reasamplomatic ui updating bug + Fixed render dialog peaks display + ReaVerb: lower CPU use, "set all" button for overriding all instances FFT settings + ReaVerb: fixed issues with complex chains that convert channel counts + ReaPitch/ReaVoice: lower CPU on silence + Code to prevent elastique from chewing CPU on near silence + FX parameter MIDI learn: fixed updating of "set with selected tracks" flag + FX preset loading, VST program changes now add undo points + Meta-actions to conditionally process actions based on the sign of CC parameter value

Everybody please test this, even if you're mostly using 3.0 alphas! :)

+ Meta-actions to conditionally process actions based on the sign of CC parameter value I've got to check this out :)

Great!! I understand the LOL "use at your own risk, and don't use for anything critical" but I think I will risk installing this pre release over 2.54. I usually use 3.0 anyway, (just like a bunch of ya) and will just keep 2.54 on my USB flash drive for critical stuff.

I don't get the new actions to work. No matter which cc value I send, the next action will not be skipped with any of these actions. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I don't quite understand the names either. What does cc parameter <0 actually mean? Mine go from 0 to 127 (1 to 128, if you want). No negative cc to be had. And wouldn't !=0 mean the same as >0, as there are no negative values? Curious: If I actually get it to work, will it also work with note velocities?

What does the fixed metronome stutter on first downbeat fix suppose to be a solution for, vsts,dx,or both.Curious.

meta action questions 

+ ReaPitch/ReaVoice: lower CPU on silence This is true with 44 and 48kHz. With 88 and 96kHz the CPU usage is the same on silence. Shogger
