MU.LAB Free v 7.4.11
17 juin 2017
MacOS X Intel
Plug-In Slot module: The list with possible inserts was filtered depending on the slot's I/O setup, but that could be confusing. Now the list is complete, just like with a rack slot.
When saving a project, the previous version of the project file now is renamed to SomeName.Backup.MuProject instead of SomeName.MuProject.Backup.
When using the Frequency Spectrum Analyzer in the front panel, the default color for the right channel was different from the modular editor. Fixed.
Frequency Spectrum Analyzer: Mouse cursor level display value was not correct. Fixed.
Multi-Form Oscillator -> Insert Multiple Sample Grains -> Select sample -> 'None' caused a crash. Fixed.

M7.4.8 18 May 2017
MuVerb: Improved editor layout.
MUX VST: Possible improved behavior in certain hosts when the host deletes the MUX plug-in while the MUX editor is still open.
Event monitor now also shows the block timestamp.
Composer: In some cases looped sequence parts did not show all events in the part content overview. Fixed.
Fixed a bug in the Frequency Spectrum Analyzer when 2 editors of the same FSA are open eg in the front panel and in the modular area.
M7.4.6 29 April 2017
New Frequency Spectrum Analyser module.
Modular areas: When connecting modules, now the dragged connection snaps to the closest connectable jack. That's more comfortable.
Both the MultiMode Filter as the TF Lowpass Filter now include a frequency spectrum display that shows the filter graph.
Added a curve parameter to the Oscillator Super Layers Quick Edit so to have more control over the detune spread.
Projects, MUX presets and MuClips can now include creator info. Editable via the context menu.
For projects: Project menu -> at the end of the menu = "Show Creator Info" For MUX patches, racks and MuClips: Context menu -> Presets -> "Show Creator Info"
Fixed a problem when using a picture as MUX front panel background. When a MUX front panel background is a picture, the picture now will be automatically resized to match the front panel size.
MUX Front panels that are smaller than the window are now centered within that window. (cfr small VST plugins) As a result of that, when you drag the window border of a window with a small front panel then this does not automatically resize the front panel anymore cause that would give unexpected results. In such case you can still resize the front panel via its property panel. (double-click or right-click the front panel background) And to have more control over the window background which becomes visible in such case, each front panel now has 2 extra color preferences "Filler Color 1" and "Filler Color 2". That way even a small front panel in a wider window (due to the top controls) will still look fine.
MUX front panel edit button now clearly indicates edit state.
Sequence Editor: Improved behavior wrt automatic mouse tool selection when hovering notes.
Sequence Editor: When using different MIDI channels per note, the "Choose Focused Channel" function was not working anymore. Fixed.
Grid editor: The mouse display showed a percentage value but it's irrelevant in the grid editor. Fixed.
MuLab for Windows: Key strokes that are unused by a focused VST editor are now processed by MuLab.
Clicking the background of the top control bar of a VST editor moves keyboard focus to MuLab.
MUX Modular VST for Windows: Unused key strokes are forwarded to the host.
Fixed a stereo signal processing issue in the Pure Delay. At the same time the "Stereo Mode" option has been removed as now the Pure Delay does automatic mono/stereo signal handling like most other modules.
Improved behavior wrt sound files with invalid marker data, which could potentially even cause a crash. Fixed.
Renamed "Set Beats Per Bar" to "Set Time Signature".
Added explicit crash protection against a unreal case in PolySynth processing that was/is assumed to never happen. (The log file will tell if it ever does happen)
Improved behavior in case a VST causes a problem during instanciation.
When there are multiple edit fields in a panel, the Tab key now steps thru these fields.
Text string fields: Sometimes the selection was not indicated when it should. Fixed.
Several improvements which make the GUI more instant and snappy.
In some cases while live resizing windows, they were not immediately fully updated. Fixed.
Fixed a potential crash bug when lassoing a selection in an empty string display.
When opening a project with missing audio files and choosing the Search All option, then in some cases the dialog could get in an infinite loop. Fixed.
An important bug fix, too technical to describe, but besides unexpected behavior it could potentially even cause a crash, so it's an important fix.
Doubled the maximum supported screen width from 4096 to 8192 pixels.
Plus other improvements.
MU.LAB Free v 7.3.9
1 avril 2017
MacOS X Intel
When opening a project containing pitch-bend automation parts, these parts did not show the correct Y axis info at the left of the envelope editor. Fixed.
Fixed a memory leak when using the step sequencer as a MUX Modular front panel component.
String fields: When lassoing a part of the string, the lasso section was not always at the correct place. Fixed.
Insert/Delete Time Slice: Affected markers were not immediately redrawn. Fixed.
When opening projects/patches with missing audio files and using the search function, then leaving the Root folder empty could result in unexpected behavior, even a crash. Fixed.
Envelope editor: Clicking points now immediately selects that point without a display lag.
Fixed a potential crash bug when the modulation system is overflowing.
Extended the bounds of the modulation system.
Export To MIDI File: Previously only the selected non-muted parts were exported, now all non-muted parts are exported. If you want to exclude parts from the export you can do so by (temporarily) muting them.
Fixed a possible little rounding/drifting issue when doing oscillator pitch modulation.
Fixed a potential issue with the new Plug-In Slot module eg. using the Oscilloscope in such slot did not sync to the incoming notes.
Added a gentle reminder when you inserted your initial user key but not yet your personal user key.
MU.LAB Free v 7.3.6

MacOS X Intel
The whole GUI now is rescalable up to 200%. See the "GUI Scale" preference. A rescalable UI is relevant for users using high-res monitors and/or who need an increased size for eye comfort. Also relevant wrt touch-screens. Screens are getting bigger and bigger and hence the MuLab & MUX GUI was getting smaller and smaller on those screens. This new feature handles that.
New "Plug-In Slot" module. It's like a single rack slot and can be put on a front panel.
Preferences panel now includes a search field.
All tree lists: Improved search behavior:
Starts searching from the cursor downwards, eventually looping to the start of the list.
[Ctrl]+G searches again for the next match.
After 1 sec, typing new characters for the search string will create a new search string.
Popup value dialogs could be positioned on a improper position. Fixed.
Text inputs: Improved and more compliant behavior, including support for undo, stepping/selecting thru words by holding Ctrl, ...
VST editors: Finetuned layout when the VST editor itself is smaller than the minimum width for the host wrapper window.
Project browser -> Audio Files: Support for selecting multiple files.
Renaming Tracks, Racks, etc...: The current name is always filled into the edit field, even when it's using the automatic name.
Moving windows via [Alt]+drag border does not limit the window at the top anymore, the window is freely movable.
Added protection against resizing the top of a window into the non-accessible area of the main screen, eg. avoid dragging the top of a window under the MacOS title bar area.
MuLab top keyboard now takes all width it can take.
Step sequencer: When the composition is cycling, then in a very exceptional case the step sequencer could be confused about the start of a bar/beat/loop and hence only start playing the pattern a bar/beat/loop later. Fixed.
Dropping an Input/Output module on a rack slot caused a crash. Fixed.
Resizing a MUX front panel, making it too small resulted in odd behavior. Fixed.
Fixed a potential sonic bug in the noise generator.
Added "Right-Click Deletes Notes" preference.
MUX VST: When editing meta-parameters, in some hosts there could be an editing lag. Fixed.
More detailed log file wrt. diagnosing VST issues.

MUX Modular VST: Optimized the "Auto Bypass" function. Now you can use MUX VST to spare CPU cycles in hosts that constantly do plug-in processing even when the plugin is only processing silence.
Fixed a bug in MuLab / MUX 64 bit VST host engine which could cause crashes, especially when using more than 4 GB RAM in the host address space.
New "Export" function for MultiForm Oscillator wavetables.
Fixed a bug in the Create Multisample/Sequence Using Markers: In case of many markers the key could go beyond max key 127. Fixed.
Fixed a bug that could lead to odd track/part colors.

MU.LAB Free v 6.5.32
21 juil. 2015
MacOS X UB
Highlights
Reworked MUX front panel construction system.
Front panel components can now be layered and moved together and many more supported component types. The MUX front panels are the bridge between MUX' deep modular world and the effective use of synth and effect presets while creating music.
Tracks can now have individual heights.
Different track heights are also preserved while zooming in and out or calling vertical overview.
Collapsed sub-tracks are always shown, be it very minimal.
This avoids confusing situations that could occur with the previous behaviour of fully hidden sub-tracks.
New Oscilloscope module. The oscilloscope also includes a sync mode which allows to display dynamic synth waveforms. Also works for VST plug-ins.
Added an extra mode to the Audio Limiter module: Now it can work in Hard Mode and Soft Mode.
Previous versions always worked in Hard Mode which in the end really clips the audio. In Soft Mode the audio level is limited more in a soft way so that even for high audio levels there still is a difference in output level. In other words there always is some degree of dynamism preserved. This is more suited for general mixing use. The Audio Limiter now also has an Input Gain parameter and input and output level meters.
Improved MuDrum layout: Element 3 has been minimized so it only contains a display where you can choose the extra plug-in module for this drum pad. This results in a more simple and comfortable layout where the two sampler displays have more space now. Another advantage is that you can now directly use an extra VST plug-in layer for this drum pad without having to go via a MUX Modular.
The TanH Distortion module has been expanded to a much more flexible "Amp. Distortion" module.
It now includes a customizable curve display, which also makes it visually more clear how the distortion works.
New Piano Keyboard, Note Event Pad and Audio Level Meter modules.
VST editors now can have a focused parameter editor in their top control bar. This focused parameter editor is a handy bridge between any VST parameter and the MuLab / MUX user interface. Right-click the parameter for handy functions like Copy As Parameter Event or Copy As Envelope Point. You can easily create automation tracks for VST parameters by drag-dropping this focused parameter editor onto the [+] track button. It can also be used to monitor the value of VST parameters for VST's that don't show this in their editor. It can also be used to copy-paste VST parameter values even in VST editors that don't support such functionality. And more.
You can now drag-drop a parameter on an automation envelope editor, this will create a new point with the parameter value. Also works with the new focused VST parameter editor.
Added 3 extra fine grids: 1/256th, 1/512th, 1/1024th to support high precision editing.
MuLab Free: Empty tracks or pure automation tracks are not counted as track anymore.
So you can do a lot more in free mode without encountering a switch to demo mode.
More than 90 other important improvements, see details below.
Improved
Virtual Keyboard now has an Octave Shift which can also be tweaked using the Page Up and Page Down keys.
Scanning VST plug-ins: Now an explicit diagnostic message is given when there is a 32 bit 64 bit mismatch.
Scanning VST plug-ins: The scan report is also shown now when scanning a single plug-in that fails so to see the detailed diagnostic info.
MUX VST: Improved propagation of the audio input and output names towards the host.
MUX VST: Support for defining the number stereo ins/outs.
First metronome beat is louder than the others.
LFO: When in tempo-sync mode, you can also input the frequency parameter as "1/4", "3/8" etc.
New "Delete Unused Racks" function. Via right-click the [+] rack button.
Drag-drop an audio stream or sample object on the [+] track button creates a new track.
Pure Delay now also supports stereo mode.
Improved handling of pitchbend events resulting in several advantages:
Pitchbend events now properly travel thru a rack, no blocking at the pre/post point anymore.
You can use pitchbend as a controller to a parameter and meanwhile also use it to keep on controlling pitch bend, if you want.
In case the focused VST parameter editor is off, VST editors now have a "Edit Last Tweaked Parameter" context function which pops up a temporary focused VST parameter editor, so al of its functionality can always be accessed, even when it is prefered not to have it up front.
Envelope points now also have Copy/Paste Value context functions.
Parameter editors now have a "Copy As Envelope Point" function.
Copy-pasting parameter and envelope point values are more compatible and support both normalized float values and percent values.
Parameter controls: When the parameter name is too long to be displayed, then the full name now is shown in the tool tip.
Added protection against inputting invalid parameter values via the parameter's input dialog.
Finetuned the automatic MIDI input focus behavior when activating module editors. (more relaxed behavior = less changes)
Modular area: when (re)connecting jacks, the tool tip could be in the way which canceled the drop. Fixed.
Browser -> MUX Presets -> Refresh List does not ask "Also refresh MUX preset cache data?" anymore, it will always do so.
Event graph editor: When changing multiple selected velocity bars, and they all have the same velocity, no more popup question "Change Absolute/Relative/..." anymore as it doesn't make sense in that case.
Note To Modulation Converter now has a Low and High Key which define the note key range. Notes lower than low key will generate the minimum value, notes higher than high key will generate the maximum value. If you don't want that notes outside the defined key range cause a modulation value update, insert a Note Filter before the Note To Modulation Converter.
Event Graph Editor: Line edits are now end point inclusive. And ensured that when drawing pitchbend/controller/parameter event curves that the end value is exactly as intended.
Event Graph Editor: When clicking a velocity beam while holding Ctrl, this will now do the value line.
Drum Note Processor editor window now is resizable.
Finetuned behavior wrt parameter automation parts when positioning the play cursor in a composition.
Improved defining the target module for recording the MuDrum pads and Drum Note Processor pads.
Constant Modulator module: Value parameter automations now are smoothed to avoid zipper noise.
Sequence functions "Modify Keys" and "Modify Velocities" now also visible in mixed sequences that contain note and other types of events.
Improved MIDI Sync: Upon looping a relevant MIDI Song Pos event is sent out.
Improved stepping the play cursor forward in a composition with an active loop.
The intensity of the panel surface texture now is a preference.Setting it to 0 results in pure clean panels, setting it to eg. 12 adds a bit of vintagy to the panel looks.
Event Graph Editor and Envelope Editor: In case of bipolar curves/envelopes, there now is improved behavior wrt the middle zero line.
Modular Editor: While holding [Shift] clicking the background does not clear the selection anymore. This makes it easier to multi-select cables.
Modular editor: Right-click module jack now only pops up context menu when relevant.
MUX Modular: In and out jacks now have same name as the respective in and out modules in the modular editor of that MUX.
Finetuned display position of the window title text, avoiding the text to go under the window buttons. Especially relevant on OSX where the title text is centered.
Finetuned the dialog for the "Sequence -> Change ..." functions: The buttons are replaced by a tree list.
Soloing a rack also takes any racks into account that are sending/outputting to that rack. This is important wrt the use of racks as busses.
Improved previewing strategy: If you add a mixer strip or rack in the Project Modular Area and name it "Preview Monitor" then all previewing is routed thru that mixer strip or rack, and so you can finetune the level there.
Changed the "Quantize 50%" function to "Quantize N%" which uses a popup dialog where you can enter the percent value.
Multi-Wave Oscillator: New "Multi-Waveform CPU-RAM Usage" preference which allows you to better balance between CPU and RAM usage.
Added a "Choose From Library" function in the waveform context menu.
When choosing a waveform from the library list, the current waveform is highlighted.
VST editors: MuLab now gives keyboard focus to the VST child window.
MUX Modular VST: Clicking in the main MUX VST editor window makes it grab the keyboard focus.
MUX Modular VST: If there is a "Startup Effect.Mux" / "Startup Synth.Mux" in the user library, then this preset file will be loaded upon inserting MUX / MUX (Vst Synth) into the host.
The "Show Preview Monitor" function now automatically creates a new "Preview Monitor" rack if necessary.
Added protection against inputting invalid parameter values via the parameter's input dialog.
Improved stepping forward the play cursor in a composition with an active loop.
Multi-Point Envelope editor window now is resizable, and can be zoomed in more so to comfortably make very precise edits.
Added "Show Preset File Path" function to the Presets function group.
MuSynth, MuDrum and MultiSampla effect slots now have edit and options buttons at the right.
Optimized the horizontal overview function for envelopes. (previously the result could be much too wide in case of short envelopes)
MuDrum and Drum Note Processor: The pads now also light up when playing very short notes.
More efficient animation of the MuDrum pads, generally resulting in a more snappy UI, especially on slower systems or upon high CPU usage.
VST plug-in -> Show Info function now shows more detailed VST specific info. This extended info is also included when doing "Export Consolidated Project".
Export consolidated session: VST plug-in list: VST plug-ins that are used multiple times are only listed once now.
Improved a sonic aspect in the MultiMode and TF Lowpass filters wrt cutoff frequency and key tracking so to ensure that even low keys get the highest possible cutoff frequency.
Several detailed improvements wrt importing/exporting MIDI files.
More relaxed auto-delete for unused sequences and samples. (less auto-deletes)
Finetuned positioning of popup edits, eg. browser -> rename file, but also several others.
Added more editable skin colors.
Improved color picker.
Some other little improvements.
Fixed
When removing the keyboard from the Focused Module Panel, the scroll left/right buttons were not immediately removed. Fixed.
LFO: Fixed a sonic issue when automating LFO parameters during the fade-in or fade-out.
Fixed a possible crash bug when zooming out very much in a small multi-sample editor.
Fixed an inconsistency issue when dragging module(s) around in the modular area.
Fixed a bug when creating new modular inputs and outputs via copy-paste or ctrl-drag.
Fixed a possible crash bug when choosing another plug-in module for an effect slot in MuSynth, MuDrum, MuSampla and MultiSampla.
Upon deleting multiple connections, the popup question had a little text error after the connection count. Fixed.
Changing the MIDI Setup now properly updates the MIDI input and output module names.
Fixed a possible crash bug when drag-dropping preset files.
Fixed a low level bug that could possibly cause a crash in certain specific cases, eg. sometimes when closing a project or when quitting.
Fixed an issue that sometimes caused jacks to have irrelevant names.
Composer: Lassoing parts could select parts on collapsed tracks. Fixed.
Event Graph Editor: Applying a velocity line was not always working as expected wrt the start and end point of the velocity line. Fixed.
Fixed an exceptional possible save error.
Composer: In specific cases looped sequence parts were not drawn right. Fixed.
Sequence part -> Consolidate: In specific cases looped sequence parts could cause a hang. Fixed.
Sequence functions: Quantize, Quantize 50% and Quantize Lengths all take the sequence start locator into account wrt defining the grid.
Sequence editor: When targetting a rack with a synth module that is using note key names, the mouse cursor info display was not showing the key names. Fixed.
Sequence editor: When targetting a rack with a synth module that is using note key names, choosing a mask for the Event Graph Editor didn't show the key names. Fixed.
LFO: Loading projects/presets made with versions prior to M6.4 now properly defaults the new End Fade parameter to the same value as the Start Fade parameter for sound compatibility.
Fixed a sonic bug when changing synth parameters while no notes where playing, then a little quick fade from the previous value to the new value could be heard. Fixed.
Fixed a potential crash bug when opening the multi-sample editor for the first time or when deleting multi-sample zones.
Fixed an issue that caused that ...#AutoSaved.MuProject.Backup files were not cleaned up upon quitting.
Fixed a bug when deleting tracks with sub-tracks.
Added protection against loading projects that contain invalid ghost parts as a result of the previously mentioned fixed bug.
Single click in sample display did not clear selection. Fixed.
In some cases, target module edit fields could be a bit too short. Fixed.
In big projects, previewing samples could be a bit slow. Fixed.
OSX: The top bar of VST editors had an unintended white border. Fixed.
Fixed a possible memory leak bug.
MU.LAB Free v 6.4.18
31 mars 2015
MacOS X UB
Highlights
Greatly improved LFO module:
All LFO shapes are fully editable now.
LFO shapes can be saved/retrieved using MuWaveShape preset files.
LFO now has a Start Phase parameter, which can also be set to Random.
LFO now both has Start Fade and End Fade parameters, both of which can function as a fade in or fade out. The end fade starts when a note off is received.
When Start Fade is an immediate fade out, then it is ensured that the LFO will start at the defined start phase on note-off. This way you can do a pure note-off LFO.
When in Tempo Sync mode, setting the frequency via a dialog bar now also supports a "Bpc" unit suffix meaning Beats Per Cycle. This way the conversion to "Cpb" (Cycles Per Beat) is done for you.
This improved LFO is also implemented in the MuSynth, MuSampla and MultiSampla devices.
New "Note Dispatcher" module. This module dispatches the incoming notes (events) to one of the outputs depending on the mode:
Random: Whenever a note-on is received, a random output is selected.
Round Robin: Whenever a note-on is received, the next output is selected. And when a note-on with Special Key is received, the output is reset to the first one.
Keyed: Whenever a note-on with Special Key is received, the next output is selected.
Key Range: The note-ons in the key range from Special Key to Special Key + Num Outs define the output.
New MIDI Channel Remapper module to remap the 16 MIDI channels to another channel.
New One Pole Lowpass module.
Renamed the term "Session" to the more familiar term "Project".
New Sinc-16 sample interpolation algorithm. Sinc-16 interpolation sounds much better when transposing samples which contains lots of high frequencies aka trebles.
When working with many tracks and audio parts, scrolling, zooming and editing the composer is (much) faster now.
Number MIDI inputs and outputs has been doubled from 8 to 16, resulting in up to 256 possible output channels.
Improved
Improved control over the sample interpolation mode: Anywhere sample play properties are defined there now is an extra [Options] button. By default all sample players use the global preference so interpolation mode can be easily changed for all sample players (including all multi-sample zones) that use the global preference.
New preference "Auto Loop Recorded Sequences".
New shortcuttable function: "Edit Tempo Changes" now is a shortcuttable context function.
Legato function now works to the next note anyway, independent whether the next note is selected or not.
A rack's own note key names now have priority on the note key names of the first synth in that rack.
Composition: Insert/Delete Time Slice function now also takes the tempo track and markers into account.
Multi-Point Envelope, Note Mapper and WaveShape editors now also have a preset name display and previous/next preset buttons so to easily navigate thru the library presets.
The "Select Previous Preset" and "Select Next Preset" shortcut functions now also work for Multi-Point Envelope, Note Mapper, WaveShape and all other types that use preset files.
Dropping a VST DLL file on the [+] track button now creates a new track for a new rack with that VST plug-in.
The Virtual MIDI Keyboard can now also be set to match a QWERTZ keyboard layout and also a fully user defined key setup is supported now.
New shortcut functions "Rewind One Step" and "Forward One Step".
Finetuned MuSynth UI layout.
Improved time bar and time grid layout for when in real time mode hh:mm:ss.
Parameter editors with only a label (eg in MuSynth) now have a "Edit Value" context menu.
Renamed the "Audio File" object type in RAM to "Audio Stream". This way there is a more clear differentiation between an Audio Stream (=Mu project object) and an Audio File (AIFF or WAVE file on disk). So the question "Delete audio file X?" now is about the file itself, whereas "Delete audio stream X?" is about the streaming object not about the file.
Pure Delay now has a samplerate-independent maximum delay of 2 seconds.
Increased the efficiency of several functions, e.g. when importing large MIDI files or having recorded ten thousands of events.
Also loading projects could be a bit faster.
Zooming in/out in the composer and part editors using a shortcut or the scrollbar buttons now focuses on the play cursor (if it's already visible) instead of the center of the editor.
Improved shortcut system: Less chance that a shortcut is not processed because of a UI focus mismatch.
New shortcut function "Set Play Position At Mouse Cursor".
Automation editor now also supports inputting parameter values in their specific format eg "2450 Hz" for a cutoff parameter automation.
Improved the sample playback engine when in backward or alternate loop mode so no double samples are played at the returning points.
Slightly improved sound quality of some of the Multi-Form Oscillator transforms.
When exporting individual sequences as a MIDI file, now the MIDI file extension always properly is ".mid".
New "Scroll To Play Cursor" shortcut function.
Sequence object display: If no sequence then right-click will also popup the relevant choice list.
Sequence object display: Tooltip only displayed when name is not fully displayed.
Creating the graphic overview data for an audio file is faster.
New preference "Create Audio File Overview Length Threshold" defines when to create a graphic overview .OVW file for an audio file.
Manage Audio/Sample Files: When you move audio files into the project's 'Audio' sub-folder, also the .OVW file is moved too. (if any)
Browser -> Samples: Support for multi-selected drag-drop.
Event Monitor now shows relevant info for MIDI clock events.
New "Update To Modified Audio Files" function which will update the audio file project objects to any changes applied to the source file. This function is only visible if the "Auto Check For Modified Audio Files" preference is off. (see next point)
Added new preference "Auto Check For Modified Audio Files". When switched on, then when an audio file has been edited externally and you switch back to the project window then a question pops up whether to to update to the latest changes. If this preference is switched off, you can still update to the latest changes using the new "Update To Modified Audio Files" function.
When switching a project off, all used audio files are closed, which makes them available for external editing. When a project is switched on again, all used audio files are reopened.
Fixed
Inputting certain parameter values (eg Multi Mode Filter Resonance) was not working correct.
Export Tracks As Audio Files: When multiple main tracks were connected to the same rack/module/plugin, only the last such track was available as an audio file.
Export Tracks As Audio Files: When a main track did not contain parts but its sub-tracks did, the main track was not exported.
When loading a new preset file into the Multi-Point Envelope the editor window title was not updated.
Note Mapper editor: "Input" and "Output" labels were not displayed right.
Fixed an issue when editing numeric pitch-bend values.
Sequence editor: When inserting a note, the property panel shows the data for that note, but when undoing the insert, the property panel was not cleared.
Sequence editor: Changing aftertouch and pitch-bend values via the property panel was not working correct.
Some MuSynth patches could contain a pitch/filter LFO with amplitude at 0%.
MuSynth: Fixed a problem with the polarity of the amplifiers sustain level.
MultiSampla editor: Pitchbend knob had a little vertical offset.
Sequence editor: When changing the editor grid, the event property panel now immediately takes that into account.
In rare specific cases editors could open with an improper size.
Pitch-bend automation editing: Couldn't type in a negative envelope point value eg -50%.
Fixed a sorting issue in the meta-parameter map table.
Fixed a possible memory leak when quitting.
Via right-click audio marker -> Edit it was possible to set the marker beyond the end of the audio.
Some parameter values were not displaying decimals while intended.
When deleting the audio file used by an audio part, the graphic was still shown.
Fixed a possible crash bug when reading MIDI files with long text meta-data.
MU.LAB Free v 6.3.6
10 févr. 2015
MacOS X UB
New
New Audio Unipolarizer module.
You can now set exact parameter values by double-clicking a parameter value which pops up an input dialog.
New "Import MIDI File" and "Export MIDI File" functions for individual sequences.
You can now drag-drop a MIDI file onto the sequence editor, that will merge the MIDI file into that sequence.
Dropping a MIDI file on the browser when it's at Sequences + This Session will import the MIDI file as a new sequence.
Sequence input field now also accepts dropping MuSequence and MIDI files, for example in the Sequence Player module.
You can now drop samples directly onto MuDrum pads, that will load them into that pad's MuSampla element 1.
Audio Envelope Follower now has an On/Off switch for its 1ms RMS window.
New preference "Use VST Program Name As Default VST Name".
Improved
Floating Windows Bar: The window buttons now toggle between show and hide. And a right-click closes the window.
Each VST now memorizes its last bank/program file path, so next time you load/save a bank/program for that VST the browser will start at the last location.
Improved behavior when loading sessions with registered VST plugins of which the DLL has been moved to another location.
Session browser -> "MIDI Files" and "All Files" now also have relevant options for the Where field.
Optimized speed for certain sequence functions especially noticeable for sequences with thousands or more events.

MU.LAB Free v 6.2.7
15 janv. 2015
MacOS X UB
New
New "Event Recorder" module. (MuLab only, not yet in the MUX Modular Plug-In version)
New: Each MUX module can have its own custom note key names. These key names can also be imported and exported to a text file.
Sequence parts: New "Consolidate" function which renders the loop into a new straightforward sequence and deletes any unplayed events.
New function: Sample -> Reload.
Improved
Increased the number of events that a VST can send to the host in a single process slice.
Doing track -> "Choose Target Module" and dropping a module on a track to set its target are both undoable actions now.
Session's Event Recording Setup: Grid editor field now also includes grid scrolling buttons. (more consistent UI)
Scrolling and zooming can now also be done using keyboard shortcuts.
New preference "Scrollbar Size".
Event Monitor now also has an event output, events are simply bypassed, but this way the Event Monitor is more usable in a rack.

Also when dropping audio files (Aiff, Wave, Mp3, Ogg) into the browser more appropriate logic is used.
New "SampleFileLengthWarningThreshold" preference, in seconds. If you're trying to load samples that are longer than this preference, a warning question will popup. Default = 300 secs = 5 minutes.
You can now also drag-drop audio files and samples below the tracks in the composer so to create a new track with this audiofile/sample.
Fixed+tuned the behavior of the browser splitter.
More explicit coloring of selected items in lists.
More explicit darkening of the inactive region in the sequence and envelope editors.
Fixed a possible little problem with drawing notes on odd grids.

You can now also drag-drop MuClips into a MUX deep editor.
When editing individual envelope points the time field did not use the envelope grid to step to the previous/next time positions. Fixed.
Finetuned behavior when pasting envelope points on grids like 1/24th.
Fixed a couple of coloring issues wrt custom front panels.
Fixed a potential crash bug when loading presets into the Multi-Point Envelope.

Drag-drop module on the "+" track button = create new track for that module.
You can drag-drop modules and parameters on (envelope) parts.
You can drag-drop a module onto the Focussed Target Module Panel to explicitly play that module from MIDI input.
Multi-Session
Open and play multiple sessions at the same time.
Cut-copy-paste and drag-drop parts and modules from one session to another.
Undo/Redo works per session.
User Interface
Restyled layout.

When selecting an output for a rack, all relevant inputs are shown, not only racks and output interfaces.
You can directly drop a .Mux file onto a rack slot.
Alert popups: You can use the first char of the options. But as "Cancel" can be done by by [Esc], it will not eat the [C] from any other option starting with a C. (and so "Close Without Save" can be done via [C] ;))
Improved shortcut handling.
The Session Modular Area window includes the session name.
Improved font system.
Font icons better match the accompanying text and color.
Rack slots also show the module icon.
Individual rack slots can get the GUI focus and this can process shortcuts.

When loading a patch, sample or waveform from outside the library, you can now simply step to the previous/next patch, sample or waveform in that folder.
Oscillators: You can drag-drop a wave file onto the display.
When activating a synth editor, then the MIDI focus also is auto switched to this synth.
VST plugin manager: multi selection possible => easier grouping.
Others
Support for template sessions.
Imports MP3 files as samples.
"Save Session As" now uses a new method: MuSessions are saved in a separate folder so that the Audio subfolder becomes more private per session. This will make it more easy to bundle a MuSession into a zip.
New options to to manage the audio/sample files within the session's audio folder.
Rack Sends popup menu now also include 'Copy As Parameter Event'.
Improved VST engine.
Tuned new VST naming algorithm: MuLab prefers to use the VST patch name rather than the VST plugin name, if relevant.

New "Save As 'New' Session" function.
Inline Sample Browser: You can step thru the samples in a folder while the music is playing and using the selected sample. For example: choose a snare drum sample while the drum pattern is playing it.
New MidiSetup preference "MidiOutputMicroTimeCompensation".
Fixed: When your computer was up and running for many days without restart, then there could be some practical problems.
Fixed: Possible denormalizations bug.
Finetuned management of sequenced sustain pedal events.
