Pinky Pluggo, version 1.6 beta for OSX: Per-Instance Saving
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2007 5:21 am
Version 1.6 (beta) of the Pinky Pluggo for OSX is now available as a free download to all fanclub members. This new version features (2) important new features, neither of which are "visible" in the GUI:
1) Filename and Root Folder name are now saved on a per-instance basis. The method we used before to save the file and root folder names was quite buggy, and did not do a real "per-instance" unique save/restore of this information. We believe that has been fixed. The way the file and root folder names are now saved is by converting the characters in the names into numbers and then poking those into a large number of hidden parameters that then get saved with each instance when you save a session/set in your host program. If you look at the parameter (non-interface) view you'll see that starting at about parameter #26 there a couple hundred new parameters. You should never touch these.
2) There are some new parameters that you can (and should!) touch. These are parameters 21 - 24 and they are for mapping MIDI notes to the incrementing and decrementing of the scrolling functions in the folder and file list views. Having these mapped to MIDI notes can really speed up the file/folder browsing and make it a lot more fun.
Hope ya like it!
P.S. This is still kinda "beta" software, so please bear with us while we work out a few bugs.
