0.5.14 Bugfix!Fixed an issue with "Move Selection" and "Cancel Selection" button not working.
[ 2022-03-01 01:35:22 CET ] [ Original post ] 0.5.13 BugfixA small release to fix a couple of bugs:
- Selection preview is now displaying again
- SoundFont and Spritesheet settings no longer blank out when undoing/redoing.
[ 2022-02-25 22:31:21 CET ] [ Original post ] Video Rendering!Heyo!
It's major update time! This feature marks a culmination of very important features that give you total control over how your works on DanielX.net Paint Composer look and sound. First we added custom SoundFonts, then we added custom spritesheets, then custom VFX shaders, and now we've added the ability to render directly to .mp4 video! You no longer need to use separate screen capture software and the quality is much higher since the rendering happens offline, syncing up the audio and video precisely for each frame.
- New Feature: Render to .mp4 video. Choose frame rate, resolution, optional 2x upscaling (improves clarity on YouTube and other video hosting sites).

- Bug Fix: Exporting .wav and .mp3 now export with audio effects setting.
As always please let me know if you encounter any bugs or issues, thanks!

[ 2022-02-14 21:00:43 CET ] [ Original post ] 0.5.10
- Updated hotkey information to reflect that they can only select 16 channels.
- Improved minimap positioning very short songs and near edges
- Added options to save/load to local disk when logged in to whimsy.space account.
[ 2022-02-06 21:58:50 CET ] [ Original post ] 0.5.8
- Added back audio effects via dropdown picker

- Importing older .dxc songs that were saved with more than 16 different instruments now
load by dropping the excess instruments and displaying a notice.
- Additional audio node cleanup (should improve performance and reduce sound glitching on some song/SoundFont combinations).
- Added account ID info in About panel to help with account support questions.
[ 2022-01-24 01:04:54 CET ] [ Original post ] 0.5.7 Publishing SoundFontsNow when publishing your songs to a public URL Paint Composer will also publish the SoundFont used in them as well. This way you can share a link with anyone and they will be able to hear your song exactly the same way you hear it! The MIDI file includes metadata that links to a permanent URL of the SoundFont so that when someone visits the link Paint Composer automatically downloads and caches that SoundFont to their machine.
To add a custom SoundFont simply drag and drop a .sf2 file from your desktop into Paint Composer.
To change which SoundFont your song uses select one from the dropdown in the "Settings" panel.

When you "Publish to a shareable URL" the SoundFont will automatically be uploaded (if it hasn't already been) and anyone who follows the link to your song will hear it the same way you do.
Enjoy!
P.S. always feel free to share any questions, feedback, or comments. I listen to all the feedback I can to make sure that Paint Composer will make your wildest dreams come true.
[ 2022-01-22 19:45:27 CET ] [ Original post ] 0.5.6
- Bugfix: Zero delta time note release would cause some drum track events to be silent.
- Bugfix: Stuck notes. Fixed bug where playing notes, then stopping playback, then placing notes on the same pitches as notes that were previously playing when playback stopped would cause those newly placed notes to get stuck.
- Performance Improvement: Don't do any shader processing when no vfx filter is selected.
[ 2022-01-19 01:49:36 CET ] [ Original post ] Paint Composer Feature Friday 0.5.5
New feature: Added "Solo" buttons and "Unmute All" to the channel mixer.
Returned Feature: Key signatures got lost in the MIDI rewrite but now they are back! There are still some legibility issues and general room for improvement but it should cover most common cases very well. As always let me know if you discover any bugs or weirdness, thanks!
