Release notes for EZbass 1.0.3

EZbass 1.0.3 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the ‘My Products’ area in your Toontrack account. Please note that version 1.0.3 is required for the support of EZbass products released from this point forward (Q2 2020).

NEW

Song Track

• A dialog is shown now if Follow Host is turned off because EZbass detects that the same MIDI is being played from the host track and from the EZbass song track.

Grid Editor

• Unavailable slap articulations have new special icons in the menu.

BUG FIXES

General

• EZbass should no longer crash at startup because of a large window size (larger or about as large as the current screen).
• Playback did not read the correct dampening value if it was set in front of the playhead when starting.
• Fix for hammer-ons for C0 and below, which sometimes didn’t work when playing slap/pop.
• Exporting dampened MIDI did not really work.
• MIDI with duplicated events was not exported “correctly.”
• Auto-disabling of Follow Host didn’t work in Cubase.

Song Track

• Moving items on the track now keeps the selection instead of selecting all individual chords, etc.
• The song track play button was not toggled off when you started metronome preview or tracker playback.
• Octave changes on a chord were sometimes overruled by bass notes in the same chord.
• Negative playhead positions sent by the DAW are no longer accepted when recording to the song track.
• Very short notes at the end of a chord could be ignored when changing chords.

Grid Editor

• Creating legato or slide so that two MIDI blocks are merged should no longer cause a crash.
• Drawing a long note in the grid before the first block did not merge the block with consecutive blocks if necessary.
• Dampening CC was not generated correctly on playback for MIDI blocks that did not start at the first bar.
• Grid velocity pen tool now only affects selected notes.
• The slide button is now disabled when a slide cannot be created.
• The black inside a selected grid note was not drawn when zoomed out far.

Drums & Keys Tab

• Changes to the key signature after importing MIDI are now respected.

Audio Tracker

• The default tempo for a recording from a DAW is now the DAW’s tempo.
• It should no longer crash if you first drag a slide and then another note.
• Dragging a slide and quickly dragging to the left of the first note did not always work correctly.
• Fixed a crash connected to estimated tempo.
• Fixed a bug that could make notes disappear when resized.
• Tracker velocity circles were drawn a bit off when zoomed in.
• When importing a tempo in the Tracker Session Setup dialog, the tempo was not reflected in the tempo menu.
• The mouse wheel can now be used on the piano roll.

Standalone

• It should no longer be possible for the title bar to end up outside the screen boundaries.
