If you're reading this, you probably know what Aalto is all about. Veteran producers, modular fanatics, and neophytes alike have been praising Aalto for its sound quality and usability since its release. Now, in response to a year of user feedback and extensive testing, Aalto 1.3 has many new features and a few important bug fixes:
- redesigned, rewritten, vector-based, smoothly resizeable UI
- DSP optimizations
- Open Sound Control input for Soundplane / t3d format controllers
- fixed key stealing in Ableton Live
- fixed Fxpansion RTAS wrapper compatibility
- improved dial / mouse wheel ballistics
- fixed Logic noise burst bug of doom
- sync by ratios to host sequencer
- added MIDI program change automation
- store window location / num / anim prefs with saved data, not patch
- fix startup / shutdown issues affecting Max/MSP, Reaper
- KEY: added two MIDI modulation outputs
- KEY: rearranged knobs for Soundplane/t3d switch
- SEQ: added random sequence button
- SEQ: added steps signal input
- SEQ: allow fine delay time changes in steps of 0.1
- ENV: increased attack, decay ranges
- ENV2: added delay, attack signal inputs
- LFO: add level signal input
- OSCILLATOR: fix linear pitch input range
- patcher: fixed sticky signal displays
- patcher: display bipolar signals as absolute
Aalto 1.3 is a free upgrade for all licensed Aalto owners. If you already own a copy of Aalto, simply log in to your Madrona Labs account and click “My Downloads” to see the new links. If you don't see the “My Downloads” section in the upper right after you log in, it probably means you were a very early customer. If that happens, please let me know and I'll sort it out for you.
An Aalto license is $99 US and includes all future 1.x upgrades as well as Mac and Windows versions. Since this upgrade is free, new purchases are the only way I'm funding the development—if you value the upgrade and you want to support my efforts, please spread the word so I can write more cool stuff.
I plan to release another minor upgrade relatively soon, with a bunch of new patches showing off the new features. I would like to add many more user patches with that package, so if you would like to contribute some, please get in touch!
Until next time,
Randy"
