Squaredheads has updated Nora to version 2.5.
Nora is a pattern based arpeggiator / phrase sequencer with DAW technology that is designed to allow the creation of solo melodies, rhythmic basslines, or stabs.
The 2.5 patch offers a new optional way to create arpeggios and phrases, with the use of individual note pitches. The results are more natural and have more richness than before.
Changes
Added:
- Individual relative pitch for each Phrase Editor note.
- Force to scale control for tuned notes.
Modified:
- Nora now bypasses MIDI events that are not related to Note On or Note Off messages.
- All randomizer engines have been updated to support relative pitches.
- Slightly improved inline help window.
- Static mode is forced when the host is stopped, allowing to play Nora with your keyboard without undesired glitches.
- Removed accept button from Phrase Editor's Option window. By closing it, the changes will be accepted.
- Improved the play cursor behavior in the Phrase Editor.
- Changed the default swing mode for new projects.
- Ctrl + Left click on a lock icon will make all the same locks change their status.
- Notes per octave expanded to 7.
Bug fixes:
- Auxiliary MIDI recorder now remembers the last path where a MIDI file was saved.
- Fixed a quantizer bug with certain patterns (they were not playing the last note).
MOD notes: (Backward compatibility):
- You may need to adjust the Font Editor->InlineHelp->Offset.
- Adjust note's font by selecting Font Editor->Note.
- Adjust note's text by selecting Color editor->Track->Editor->Grid->Event drawing.
Price: 49€. There is a demo version available here.
