Open Tuning 1.5.1

Open Tuning is a Midi utility offering to MIDI and MIDI-fied polyphonic instrument players (such as pianists, guitarists and violinists) the ability to play and explore an unlimited number of virtual tunings without needing to retune their instrument each time. The internal Mac OS X Audio-Unit DLS Soft-Synth (DLS for Downloadable Soundfont) can be chosen as MIDI destination of Open Tuning.
Main features:
- The built-in Mac OS X Audio-Unit DLS Soft-Synth can be chosen and played from within Open Tuning through a user-friendly interface
- Tuning Presets Files included
- Tuning Presets can be controlled by Program Change
- Real-time processing thanks to Apples CoreMIDI technology
- User can freely configure and play simultaneously up to four instances of Open Tuning
- Adds four internal MIDI ports (2Inx2Out) per instance for rewire with soft-synths as plug-ins or standalone applications
- User can create its own tuning presets
- Snapshot feature to store and recall a tuning preset
- Help tags available over each user interface elements.
Version restrictions:
- you can try it out with no feature restriction except that a short random MIDI sequence is played every minute.
Enhancements:
- This a maintenance release fixing several bugs:
- 1) Putting tuning presets files in any other location than the following repertory:
- ~/Library/Audio/Presets/Open-Tuning/
- Systematically crashed Open Tuning.
- These tuning files can now be stored anywhere on any disk.
- 2) In some situations, Tiger wont create the Presets folder in the user library:
- ~/Library/Audio/Presets/
- Open Tuning creates this folder at first launch-time if it doesnt exist.
- 3) The DLS Soft-Synth could sometimes appear as a long vertical window with a green background at the bottom of the window. At each launch, DLS Soft-Synth is now correctly displayed at the last onscreen position of the previous session and with its correct size.
- Several other minor bugs.
- Inside the "Open Tuning Prefs Folder", the Instances_Prefs file is now named Tuning_Prefs_Prefs.
- Tuning_Prefs_Prefs and DLS_Prefs are now displayed with a standard icon.
