Mac OS X 10.4.9 update

On Filed under TabView

Mac OS X 10.4.9 has been released.

According to Apple engineers, it should fix a bug which caused TabView (or any other application using the Audio Toolbox API) to generate broken MIDI files on Intel machines. Since version 1.8, TabView includes a workaround for this problem, thus working correctly anyway.

I’ll test the update in the next days to verify whether the problem has been indeed solved or not. If so, the workaround will be removed from the next release of TabView (the less the dead code to maintain, the cleaner the application design!) and OS X 10.4.9 will become the minimum requirement on Intel machines, at least as far as MIDI export is concerned.

On Filed under TabView

TabView 1.10 has been released.

The changelog for this version includes:

  • A drawer with a list of the sections of the score has been added. It allows to jump easily to the desired part of the tablatures.
  • MIDI playback: guitar volumes are more similar to those produced by PowerTabEditor.
  • MIDI playback: the rhythm slash doesn’t get out of sync when there are multi-bar rests.

MIDI generation also sports some other miscellaneous improvements.

The first update for 3Doku, version 1.1, is now available for download.

We’ve implemented a couple of new features requested by the first users:

  • the user can manually enter possible values and notes for the cells. Notes will be shown as tooltips.
  • 3D view: the planes have been changed to match the color of their header in the 2D view.
  • The game can be automatically saved on exit and reopened on start.
