Pinky Pluggo, version 1.5 beta for WinXP: Bigga & Betta!
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2007 3:52 am
A new beta version (1.5) of Pinky Pluggo (OSX and WinXP) is now ready for all Fan Club members to download and (hopefully) enjoy.
New features:
1) Built-in file browser. It's simple, but effective. Just load in the root folder of your music collection and Pinky Pluggo will scan all folders beneath it. The names of the folders are displayed in a scrolling list. Click on the name of a folder, and the names of the files it contains appear in the scrolling list below it. Click on an individual filename to select it, then click "load" to open it. Or you can browse for files the old way by clicking the "browse" button.
2) Zoomable Waveform. Just like in Maxi-Patch. Now there are two waveform displays in Pinky Pluggo. The smaller (upper) display shows the whole file's waveform. The larger (bottom) display shows a zoomed-in portion of the waveform. You can select the zoom factor, and auto-scrolling behaviour.
3) Spinning record location visualizer. A new bit of eye candy. Shows a circular representation of your virtual 12" record. A small black point shows the current playback point as it spins around. A darker pink region shows the surface area that is actually "covered" by your sound file. Lighter pink region shows "blank" silent space on your virtual 12". We think this visualizer can be very useful for eyeing the backspin stop point that you want when beat juggling-- in conjunction with the zoomed waveform view.
This is a BETA version, so please bear with us. More features and improvements on the way
