New In TapTools 3.2
- Added an "Uninstall" script to make it easy to remove TapTools
- Fixes problems with TapTools in the Max-for-Live environment
- tap.filter~: added a myriad of new filter types
New In TapTools 3.1
- Installs of TapTools are now completely untethered from Jamoma, resolving all dependency issues
- Object modularization: rather than a monolithic "tap.tools" extension, each object is defined as a separate Max external binary:
- eases standalone building and dependencies
- reduces problems in the event of unexpected binary/library conflict
- more easily supports Max-For-Live
- Some objects deprecated (not recommended for use, they will eventually be discontinued)
- tap.myip
- tap.typecheck (you can use tap.typecheck~ instead, even if you don't have MSP)
- tap.fourpole~ (use tap.filter~)
- tap.twopole~ (use tap.filter~)
- tap.onepole~ (use tap.filter~)
- tap.average~ (use average~)
- tap.svn: object dropped from the distribution
- Dropped support for PPC processors
- Dropped support for Windows
- Documentation fixes and updates
- tap.applescript: fix for bug where a bang was not properly sent from the second outlet when the file read was complete.
- tap.allpass~: now supports multichannel processing and internal 64-bit operation
New In TapTools 3.0.2
- Compatibility with Jamoma 0.5
New In TapTools 3.0.1
- Performance and reliability improvements to all objects referencing buffers (e.g. tap.buffer.peak~, tap.buffer.snap~, etc.).
- Eliminated external dependency on the MaxObject framework (now linked internally)
- Updated to use a version of the Jamoma ../../../../../Jamoma/Core/DSP/library/build/JamomaDSP.dylib Library that is compatible with the latest versions of Jamoma
- tap.jit.ali help patcher fixes, now fits on a MacBook screen (submitted by Nils Peters)
- various help patcher and documentation fixes and updates (including fixed usage of named-default colors)
- tap.sustain~: now documents the ‘buffer clear’ message
- tap.sustain~: fixed divide by zero error when created with no arguments.
- tap.sustain references now indicate the time units required for the object's attributes.
- tap.svf~: fixed the ‘clear’ message (was missing in the initial 3.0 release)
- tap.svf~: internally limits the range of the frequencies used to control the lfo so that it doesn't blow up.
- object descriptions are now displayed in the file browser (requires Max 5.0.6 or higher)
- tap.jit.delay: no longer posts ugly (but harmless) error messages to the Max window upon instantiation
- tap.jit.delay help patcher: fixed bug where delay times were not calculated (thanks to Nils Peters for submitting the fix)
- taptools will now set the default state of sortpatcherdictonsave feature of Max to true (requires Max 5.0.6 or higher)
- tap.filter: a list of available filters is now in a drop-down menu when using the object's inspector.
- tap.crossfade is now multichannel capable - the first argument to the object defines the number of channels on which to operate.
- multichannel objects are now identified (and searchable) in the file browser with the 'Multichannel' tag.
- added missing documentation for the tap.rotate object
- new object: tap.inquisitor - accesses the attribute values of another named object
New In TapTools 3.0
- New feature that helps guarantee Max will load the correct version of an object, and not find old/conflicting versions the object(s) in your searchpath.
- New TapTools Builder (in the Extras menu) to make it easier to build standalones (standalone building requires a Pro license)
- Many audio objects are now using 64-bit processing internally
- Many MSP objects are capable of flexible multichannel processing:
tap.dcblock~
tap.filter~
tap.overdrive~
etc.
- All objects now have full reference pages, fully integrated with Max 5's searchable documentation system.
- All objects are integrated with Max 5's filebrowser and metadata support.
- All objects are integrated and make use of Max 5's advanced inspector features.
- All help patchers and abstractions re-crafted
- All external objects re-structured into a single extension that is loaded by Max at launch time.
- Where possible, all Java and JavaScript objects have been re-written as proper Max objects. This eliminates the dependency on Java which is not standard on Windows.
- Integration with the new Max Window in Max 5
- Integration with the new way the buffer~ object works in Max 5
- Improved object load time performance
- Various optimizations
- New Objects
tap.filter~: flexible multichannel filter with dynamic filter types
tap.filecontainer: create a custom file format that bundles together many files into a single file.
tap.folder: perform operations such as creating, deleting, copying, etc. folders in the filesystem.
tap.svn: subversion source control management client (see http://collab.net/subversion/) for more information.
- tap.applescript rewritten to be much more reliable and flexible; has a new script method for specifying new scripts on the fly.
- tap.windowdrag re-written to be Max 5-savvy and is also now available on Windows.
- new feature: tap.applescript is no longer copy protected. It will work after the demo expires, and will work in standalones without a ‘pro’ license
- Miscellaneous bug fixes, memory leaks, etc.
- Fixed exponential mode not working in tap.pulsesub~
- Misc bugs fixed in tap.decay_calc
- Fixed crashes in tap.phasor~
- Fixed problems where tap.limi~ didn't actually limit the signal
- Fixed crashes in tap.pulsesub~
- The tap.adapt~ object no longer posts spurious (and harmless) messages to the Max window
- Fixed crash in tap.delay~ when setting the delay time higher than the buffer size.
- Added the "T" key command when patching, creates a new object box with "tap." already entered.
- All objects: the colored ring around the inlet where the mouse is hovering is now colored blue if the inlet is cold (doesn't trigger output).
- All objects: the inspectors now have switches where an attribute is toggle, or menus where the attribute is one of a list of choices
- fixed the broken backwards-compatibility alias for tap.lp-comb -> tap.comb
- fixed outlet assistance for tap.sieve
- various stability and efficiency improvements
