New prerelease update

We have a new update 1.6.8. that we’re about to release live. We’d like a few adventurous users to take it for a quick spin first.

DO NOT DO THIS if you are about to perform live!!!

You should make a backup copy of your current Gig Performer AND you should make backup copies of any gig files that you test with this new version. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

There are a few enhancements and some important bug fixes. See the bottom of this post for details.

If you want to try it, the links are below. Please send us any feedback.

Thanks

Enhancements

  • The Plugin Manager now allows you to hide plugins that you don’t need to use, thereby reducing clutter
  • The Gain Control plugin can now mute incoming audio
  • If virtual channels are needed, we now show how many audio channels are missing.

Fixes

  • Added Normal vs Delayed instantiation mode for plugins. This is managed through the Plugin Manager. Delayed mode is a temporary workaround to address a state restoration issue caused by a problem introduced in the latest release of Arturia’s plugins.
  • Fixed problem with predictive loading where a plugin might be unexpectedly bypassed in a rackspace
  • Fixed problem where a widget MIDI assignment could not be properly removed
  • If you remove a program change assignment from a variation, GP now correctly remembers that removal.
  • Fixed a problem where updating a specific rackspace in a gig file could overwrite a rackspace in another gig file
  • Fixed problem where GP could crash when assigning Tap Tempo MIDI control to a global MIDI control.
