Midicode Synthesizer new version ( 1.20 )

Hello everybody,

There is now a new version of the Midicode Synthesizer available from

www.midicode.com/download

This version fixes the bug which prevented it from working under Windows XP and Windows 2000 and with some sound cards. If you had problems with the previous version then please try this one!

The new version has the same microtonal tuning features as the previous version plus a feature to defer dynamic re-tuning to the start of new notes. There is now greater support for midi controllers including pitch bend over a variable range, modulation wheel, reverb, echo, channel volume, balance and sustain. Other new features include a voice mixer and an accordion interface for one click chords including strummed and arpeggiated chords. Those of you who work in non 12 note scale structures can define your own accordions!

The new version also addresses a problem which occurred with the data files in continental European locales due to a different decimal separator ( , / . ), and other minor bugs. To look at the new features click on this link

May I take this opportunity to thank those of you who have provided feedback on the previous version and those of you who have supported me by buying my synthesizer, particularly those of you who have bought multiple copies in order to fund my work. Sorry that I missed the discussion earlier this year about an ideal microtonal software synth, I was having trouble with my Yahoo account at that time. Please tell me what you would like to see and I will try to incorporate it in future versions. Some of the features in this version are in direct response to input from members of this list. The program also contains a small number of undocumented "special options" that meet the request of particular users but where provision of the option adversely effects what I see as the normal operation of the program so the feature can only be turned on if you know how. Please let me know if you have any special requests, and please buy lots of copies!

Regards to you all,
