How is this for a new look?

I am usually not very talkative, but I think I should share this particular screenshot with you all, just so you don't get the impression I am too great at what I do. ;-)
This is a little accident from my ongoing efforts to bring a CSS-like stylesheet skinning to the TX16Wx.
I assure you however, this is not the intended look for the next version. Just to calm your worries.
Cheers

Its time for a new beta program

Hello all.

I've been terribly busy lately, and some of the work is starting to pay off. The MacOSX version of TX16Wx is starting to shape up quite nicely. Good enough in fact that I am now announcing a new closed BETA program.

Those of you who are interested in test driving the new version of the plug-in, send an email to "support {at} tx16wx.com" with the title "beta program". You will be added to the beta mailing list and given access to the beta downloads as they are available. I expect to make the first drop next week.

Obviously, I am primarily looking for OSX testers, but I'd also like to include Windows users, since there are a plethora of hidden changes in the whole code base and I want to make sure everything still works. Thus, everyone who feel adventurous is welcome.

Happy beta sampling!

It is on its way...

Just a very small update with a very small teaser; Here is the first ever screenshot of TX16Wx running on MacOSX.

Is it finished? No. Will it be? Oh yes.

Happy sampling.

Version 2.1.3

Happy post-easter to you all. I hope your eggs very plentiful, and the candy candid. Small but sweet update this week, addressing mainly an issue with certain Sound font banks, but also a general UI nicety - you now have a nice buzzing progress screen when loading and saving data to keep you certain that stuff is in fact happening. And I waited until today with releasing it, so its no joke. ;-)

Version 2.1.3 - 2013-04-02
  • Fixed name clash problem when using "save waves to project dir" option
  • Fixed SF2 stereo sample naming problem
  • Added load/save screen feedback
Download as always from http://www.tx16wx.com/

Version 2.1.2 - A few small updates

Hello all. Its been a quiet week, but a few reports came in nonetheless. Without further ado, heres the change list:

Version 2.1.2 (2013-03-24)
  • Fixed tempfile creation problem on certain systems
  • Fixed CTRL+key operations not working in all hosts
  • Fixed crash when using split wave combo box with no waves loaded
  • Fixed incompatibility with ACID program handling
  • Added workaround to strange ACID vst scanner unload behaviour
  • Load/save notifications can now be disabled
I was thinking of adding some nefarious checker code throughout the product, just to make it a little harder to re-crack (not that I mind the crack, but the very least you can do is work a little for it). But I am too lazy - I mean - I care too much about the wellbeing of my users to do such things! ;-)

Anyhow, enjoy the new release. Make some nice easter songs. They will be eggstra welcome! And remember, nothing appeases the easter bunny like the gift of a TX16Wx license.

Happy sampling!

Its official - TX16Wx is now a "real" product!

Woho. I just noticed that the group "TEAM R2R" released a cracked version of TX16Wx. Finally, I'm crack-worthy! Very Happy

But seriously, guys, I am a little disappointed and underwhelmed; You just did some image editing to remove the license check. I had hoped you would at least make a key generator, and thus read the message I left for any potential cracker in the hash algorithm.

And if you had made a keygen, at least those who feel that the €20 I charge for TX16Wx Pro and/or the ~30 days trial (which by the way are ridiculously easy to extend) to short a time to evaluate the product could have gotten whatever updates that will be released in the weeks ahead. As it is now, I'm a little sad that some of these write unsubstantiated bug reports in your forums instead of bringing them here. That does in fact hurt the product.

So, flattered that you took the time, but a little hurt that you didn't work harder. And a little miffed that you screwed with the binary. Don't screw with the binary. That is an honour reserved for me and MSVC.

Go team! Wink

Only a little more than a week since the drop of v2.1.0, and I already found or got reports on several bugs. Somewhat embarrassing for me, but at least I got the opportunity to fix them.

  • Fixed crash when deleting group switching node
  • Fixed broken saving of soundfont wave references in DAW bank
  • Fixed crash when previewing SFZ files
  • Fixed layout problem in 800x600 resolution
  • Fixed FX not being activated / crash when using program change to switch performance
  • Fixed crash when deleting last program
  • Fixed choke groups not cooperating with trigger switching
  • Improved wave preview playback
