- Featuring: dynamic-loading of user-defined Transform modules!
-
- We are pleased to announce another in our series of beta-release updates to
- Presto. Featured in this release is the ability to dynamically load
- user-defined Transforms. Presto's Transform tool allows users to perform
- manipulations such as Transpose, Quantize and TimeShift to selections of Notes
- in any view. With the new dynamic-loading feature, users can create custom
- Transforms to perform virtually any note manipulation function and access them
- in the same manner as Presto's default Transforms. Pinnacle Research is also
- including source-code for Presto's standard Transforms as well as Transforms
- submitted by users, all of which can be modified and used to create new
- Transform modules.
-
- The step-by-step tutorial and easy to use Transform API should allow even the
- novice programmer to take advantage of this feature. Pinnacle Research will
- continue to explore options for utilizing dynamic-loading to allow users to
- customize Presto in new and interesting ways.
-
- Other additions to this version include:
-
- Note Name Lists - define names for pitches, great for drum-machine programming
- Improved EventList editor - for text-based note and controller event editing
- MIDI Monitor - for viewing active input channels
- Improved cut/copy/paste mechanism Editing speedups
