Aurally Sound has updated Song Master to version 1.2.
New Features:
- Phrase Trainer simplifies learning to play a section by slowing the song down and gradually increasing the tempo. You specify the starting and ending tempos and the amount to increase the tempo after each play.
- Key Trainer will rotate a song section through a series of key changes. Great for improving your ability to transpose and solo over changing key centers. Select from a set of predefined chord sequences (i.e. cycle of 5ths) or define your own.
Changes and Improvements:
- The Loop Control panel merges in some features of the previous versions' Advanced looping control panel and adds several buttons for quick adjustments to loop start and end points and to move the entire loop.
- <shift> + mouse-wheel to scroll left/right.
- The actions assigned to the keys in the "block" qwe, asd, and zxc have been re-assigned to support modifying loop regions. Refer to documentation for details.
- There's also been a number of smaller enhancements mostly dealing with looping, metronome usage, and the file browsers.
- Bug fixes: a number of bugs have also been addressed including potential issue when pasting chord markers, and the loop region sometimes not update properly. Issue on Mac that could lead to a crash if an audio file is loaded while the previous audio file is still being analyzed.
The free update for Mac OS X and Windows is available for download here.
