J’s MIDI tools updated (26-09-09)
•September 26, 2009 • Leave a CommentJ’s MIDI tools updated (21-09-09)
•September 21, 2009 • 1 Comment21-09-09
- Faster & fancier GUI ( now uses OpenGL display lists for rendering the objects ).
- VSync is now enabled by default ( hoping to address the high CPU usage in some systems ).
- Plugins now report themselves as synths with 2 (dummy) audio outputs, so that they can be directly used in hosts that don’t support VST MIDI fx, but support midi output from a VST synth to another.
