Pre-release version 6.3.8 of Metro is now available.
New:
- Virtual Instruments (VI's) can now have their audio volumes and pans automated. A new display mode of the graphic editor allows the selection of audio volume and audio pan for VI track types.
- Metro now finds MIDI input devices even when their uniqueness changes. This works around a bug in MIDIkeys.
- MIDI track input selection is much more versatile. Any combination of MIDI channels can be selected on input with the new submenu popup in the tracks window.
- Metro now defaults to Apple's generic Audio Unit interface if the plug-in does not have one. This is configurable on a plug by plug basis in the plug-ins window.
- The audio fade dialog has been improved.
- A remote control preset for the M-Audio Axiom controller.
Fixed:
- Cosmetic problem when Mixer window was sized too small.
- Problem with data ranges in the continuous data display of the graphic editor.
- Bypass automation was not limiting its values to just on and off.
- MIDI data was not being drawn underneath continuous audio volume and pan for Virtual Instrument tracks.
- Better stability.
- Improved CoreAudio reliability.
- Removed an annoying flash that was occurring on open and new when transport was floating.
- The continuous data dialog was not displaying the title of the select data correctly in some cases.
- Selecting float transport window from the switches menu while the transport was not visible would cause the transport to not redraw correctly in some cases.
- Initial import of audio was not extracting the tempo from the audio file in 6.3.7.
- If an input audio port was out of range no error message would occur until recording in some cases.
- Recent plug-ins could mysteriously disappear in some cases.
- Automating pan was excruciatingly slow in some cases.
- The countoff was counting 1/2 as long as it should in some cases.
- Minor correction when automating Audio Unit parameters.
- Better support for automation only tracks.
- Certain Audio and MIDI tracks were not being muted properly during record.
- A problem whereby Metro would try to close a non-existent CoreMIDI connection if a selected record MIDI device recently came online.
- Undo of record now properly restores the select track range.
- Jukebox now correctly parses the full OS X file name.
- Old Rhythm Explorer presets now default to staccato = 50% instead of 0.
- In some case recording audio through a plug-in like 'Apple:Pitch' would not initially playback properly.
- The contextual tracks window output menu would not always show the correct connection if a track was frozen.
- Clicking on the tempo door of the transports more than once was causing a problem.
- Selecting 0 in the scale time dialog could cause a crash on Intel Macs.
- Scale time would not always set the track length appropriately.
- Using return when in 'editing mode' no longer moves the graphic editor display.
