Changes in Gig Performer v4.8.2

  • Improvements to the Streaming Audio File Player: New marker contextual menu and copying and pasting all markers in a track.
  • Additions to the Timeline Actions Tool: Optional user comments and reset momentary widget.
  • Remap all channels in the Rig Manager: The Rig Manager now gives you the ability to remap all incoming MIDI Messages from a specific device to a single channel.
  • Radio buttons improvement: Previously, in Gig Performer v4.7, radio buttons didn’t respond to variations. In version 4.8, radio buttons can respond to variations, and that is the default behavior.
  • Logging at Gig Performer startup: You can now enable logging, to log rackspace loading.
  • Other enhancements and updates:
    • Multiple markers at the same location are not allowed anymore; for legacy purposes, the actions contained in subsequent markers at the same location will be merged into the first marker.
    • The MIDI File Player now responds to time signature events – denominator can go to 64th (per SMF specification).
    • Added new functions and improvements to the GPScript programming language and Gig Performer SDK.
    • A duplicated action will now include all the content that was in the original action.
    • The MIDI postfix for values is now case insensitive m or M.

Gig Performer is available for Windows and Mac, starting from $169 USD.
