Loopy LLama

NEW FEATURE: 1st loop sets beats...You no longer need to know the number of beats beforehand (you never did for endpoints mode). Whenever you mark the second loop point it will count that as the last beat. It's one less thing to worry about if you are playing to a click or synced to Ableton.

NEW FEATURE: It quantizes the loop to the closest beats you pressed the button to when not in endpoints mode...this makes it really easy to loop live and not worry about timing. If you are a little early it waits until the beat to start recording...if you are late it includes the audio since the beat started without skipping.

NEW FEATURE: File save and load... Based on pressure from the "save the loops" campaign ...man, have I had a lot of requests for this!

NEW FEATURE: The metronome outputs audio, not just a midi click...and will output as a seperate track or with the loop

It keeps recording after 2nd hit unless you hit play in place of record - like dl-4

Beat offset setting for transport lock mode...so you can change the location of beat 1 relative to the track

Much more CPU friendly...LPF is more efficient as is the main process loop

It no longer resets when bpm or beats change - just truncates or adds silence to the loop

The buttons that don't apply to a certain record mode now disappear for that mode.. meaning pause is gone for transport sync and tap is only there for tap tempo mode.

Compatibility for older footpedals has been ditched for simplicity's sake...you can no longer add 1 to incoming program changes or use a footpedal that toggles between on and off values by pressing the button twice. This was known as Record button toggle mode.

Bugfix: If you hit reset and immediately record and reverse the loop it doesn't completely clear the buffer

Bugfix: Fixed memory leak in gui and when closing the plugin (didn't release right channel buffers)

Bugfix: In endpoints if you hit clear before marking the second endpoint the record light didn't turn off.

Bugfix: Pause was not unpausing if done through MIDI

Bugfix: Tap Tempo was not updating through MIDI correctly

Bugfix: Play button stayed down if pressed through MIDI

New expiration date is September 1st, 2006. It displays the date in a textbox now so I don't have to remake the images - will allow for faster releases.

Added a play button for max-headroom style loop repeating....or changing what happens when you punch out of a loop...it will be more DL-4 like.

Added a pause/stop button ... because people tell me they want to pause loops

Added an unpause=play setting

Added a setting to let recording start at the next beat or next loop

Completely re-organized the options section - the "modes" make more sense

Bugfix: gui didn't update when automating parameters

Bugfix: Changing the number of bars in the loop didn't re-calculate the loop size.

Bugfix: BPM now automates correctly from 50-300 bpm

Bugfix: The "loop" light comes on immediately instead of after the loop starts repeating

Bugfix: Loop resets when you hit save on some hosts.

The "Bars" boxes will be renamed "Beats" because enough people pointed out that I'm an idiot

it turns out the key commands not working for mac was a bidule bug, not the llama...keyboard doesn't seem to work in Ableton in any platform

Expires July 1st, 2006 (no, I still haven't learned about copy protection or given up on the idea of making money with this)

Lots more updates... undocumented since I was recovering from the crash, overhauling, and working fast.
