WaveTracker v1.1.0

This is a fairly substantial update! The biggest changes added are:

  • Noise instruments:
    • A basic white noise generator across 2 octaves and Volume, Arpeggio and Pitch envelopes. This should make it easier to make simple chiptuney drums directly within WaveTracker, without needing to import samples all the time.
  • Improved text boxes:
    • You can now type directly into text boxes and edit them that way instead of opening a popup text entry.
  • Improved sample editor:
    • Zoom into the sample with CTRL+scroll wheel, or zoom vertically with alt+scroll wheel
    • Shift+Click to adjust the selection edges
    • Added Bitcrushing effect, remove DC offset, mix stereo to mono functions
  • Generate waves with math expressions (thanks Dannode36!)
    • In the wave editor under Modify > Math expression, type in an expression using 't' or 'x' as time. For example: sin(x), tri(x) saw(x).

Plus some other changes:

  • Adds autosave every 5 minutes if the module has any changes since the last autosave, autosaves can be accessed through Help > Recover files
  • Adds crash detection with prompt to open autosaves folder if last session crashed
  • MIDI preview is now constant volume if 'Record MIDI velocity' is turned off
  • Adds link to documentation and effect list in Help menu
  • Moves "Reset Audio" from Tracker to Help
  • Adds individual octave selector keybindings
  • Adds keyboard shortcut for renaming current instrument
  • Adds shortcuts to move current instrument
  • Adds effect tooltips on the bottom information bar when typing in effects
  • Adds current playback time, tempo, speed, and tick rate on the bottom information bar
  • Improves high resolution font rendering
  • Fixes bug where deleting didn't respect the step value
  • Fixes deleting-last-frame-while-playing crash
  • Fixes crash when loading sample editor to the root path
