eaReckon has released version 1.0.2 of BloXpander, a music application originally designed to meet the requirements of musicians and engineers in “live” situations.

Changes in BloXpander v1.0.2

  • New: MIDI Scene Selection
    • Now you can open or change a scene from your MIDI controller instead of having to divert your attention to your computer whilst you are playing.
    • You can assign 2 MIDI switches or pedals to be used to load the next or previous scene and even navigate within the whole current set.
    • With the “PRG CHG” option activated, any “Program Change” message received from the assigned MIDI input port will make BloXpander load the scene corresponding to the invoked program number.
    • A delay (2 seconds) before loading the selected scene allows you to subsequently send multiple significant messages from your controller without loading consecutive scenes until you reach the desired one.
  • Drastically improved Audio engine (optimized for SSE and 3DNow! enhanced CPUs).
  • Improved handling of scenes files.
  • Improved synchronization of multiple “threads”.
  • Improved thumbnails generator.
  • Updated manuals (featuring a page dedicated to the new “MIDI Scene Selection” functionality).
  • A rare MIDI issue has been resolved (using specific MIDI interfaces, the incoming MIDI flow was corrupted after some minutes).
  • Various non-critical bugs have been fixed.

BloXpander is available to purchase for Windows PC for 69 EUR.
