2.1 In some occasions the keyfile (if present) could not be loaded, fixed Fixed PayPal link 2.0 FINAL Added button to open the Manual directly from the About panel Minor code cleanup Installation folder rearranged & installation notes revised 2.0 2nd BETA Some hosts could not add Synlay to tracks identifying it as an "effect", fixed Fixed input audio mixed with output in some hosts and added note about usage with Reaper in the Manual Fixed source filter type stuck until the cutoff freq is adjusted (only noticeable on some setups) Fixed graphics (knob rings and others) looking dull / blurred on Windows 10+ (but as a drawback, graphics will now look worse on Windows 7 - this is a bug with the graphics framework used to load images and we can't do anything to fix it) 2.0 1th BETA The whole program and all its components, in particular the digital waveguides, have been re-engineered and re-written from scratch, resulting in highly improved code and much lower CPU load. Despite the abundant work done behind the scenes, Synlay 2 is 100% compatible with existing presets and DAW projects, and efforts have also been put to have it sounding identically Unfortunately, some little inconsistencies or imperfections could NOT be fixed, like the envelope “exploding” when releasing a key during A or D stages, or the linearity of the feedback knobs, because doing so would have broken compatibility with existing presets. An external either mono or stereo signal can now be used as excitation source, rendering the old Tuned Delays plugin by Elena Design deprecated Negative values are now allowed for filter resonance (more a Q factor), to smooth cut-off transition zone The white noise source can now optionally be resetted at every key press, to generate identical sequences. This can be sometimes useful for basses or percussive sounds, to have a predictable yet less realistic attack More radical abatement of the DC peak for cleaner sounds and pretty no residual low-frequency noise Spectral master filter to furtherly shape the final sound or simply equalize the external input, which can be used in alternative to the standard multimode IIR filter The whole panel has been re-arranged and some details re-designed for improved ergonomy and rationality; most readouts for entering values manually have been removed and replaced by popup readouts; all controls are now consistently “ghosted” when disabled by other controls The range of the LFO controls was inconsistent and have been fixed and their behaviour improved; LFO width range for pitch modulation can now be extended from +/- one semitone to +/- two octaves by a little switch, when really needed for special effects Clicks no longer occur when retriggering the LFO (Sync enabled) in AM mode Click no longer occur repeating a same note with lower Velocity when feedback velocity modulation is set The source filter can now be completely disabled when not needed Some buttons could not be pressed twice without moving the mouse pointer between presses, this also has been fixed The option to limit Pitch Bending to the highest note has been removed for technical reasons, but it was pretty never used anyway Mono retrigger priority is now always assigned to the previously held note – even in this case, other options were just confusing and never used A new Dup Notes option has been added, to allow a same key pressed repeatedly to engage new polyphonic voices Many new and better factory presets added, many old and not-so-good ones removed, many existing ones revised Many factory presets had MIDI-controls assignments left by mistake, now removed
