For the new features since the 2.4 release in 2003, see:

You may remember Rick McGowan's posts here about the new Out for In devices option, which lets you retune large orchestral scores - and with special features to work with GPO or anything else that uses key switches or instrument dependent pitch bend ranges - it has been available for a while in the release candidate, but this is the first release of it.

The CSound capabilities of the program are innovative with the automated CSound orchestra builder. It lets you just choose your CSound instruments for the sixteen midi channels from a list and FTS will automatically build a CSound orchestra incorporating them all - something that normally requires a fair amount of recoding and renumbering by hand.

It is easy to use - just select the CSound save type, choose the CSound instruments for all the parts of your piece from a drop list - and then record to CSound just as you would do to midi, by pressing a record button. Everything else is done automatically.

Another feature likely to be of particular interest to microtonalists is the Audio Pitch tracer

There's lot's more that's new to discover in this release. Most of all - I have done lots of work to make it more user friendly and easier to navigate.

I hope this new release will be of value to the microtonal community, and more generally. I'd like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for all those on this forum who have helped in one way or another over the years while I've been developing the software, by discussing the work in progress, supplying information, suggesting ideas etc.

Thanks,

Robert
