Release Notes (Whats New):

The handling of bad sound drivers has been improved, lessening the risk of a crash due to faulty drivers.

Added Remote support for M-Audio Oxygen 88.

Addedlocalized help and documentation in German, Japanese and French. Note:The localized help and documentation files are automatically includedwhen Reason or Record are installed from the DVD. When downloadingReason or Record, you need to download and install localized help anddocumentation separately.

During certain circumstances, if a MIDIcontrol surface was locked to a device and the user deleted any devicefrom that song, the program could crash. This would happen if there wasanother song open and that song was playing back in the background.

TheArpeggio Notes to Track function on the RPG-8 could cause the programto crash if some of the RPG-8 parameters had been automated.

Savinga patch could in rare cases cause the program to crash. This happenedif the user loaded a patch from a folder containing a huge number ofpatches, then moved the patch file to another folder and finallyattempted to resave the patch by Alt-clicking the Save Patch button onthe device.

In some cases, after copying and pasting asample-based device from one song to another, the pasted device couldrefer to the wrong samples if the samples were self-contained.

Cable drawing has been slightly improved.

Thorsstep sequencer in random mode triggered two voices. This could happenwhen the Step run mode was selected and the direction was set toRandom.

The program will occasionally check the available harddisk space. On some systems, these checks could make the user interfacetemporarily unresponsive.

Duplicating devices a large number of times could cause a graphical bug in the rack.

A number of localized (translated) text strings were cut off.

Voice handling for the NN-XT has been optimized slightly.

Dr. OctoRex slice numbers were not shown correctly in Edit mode when using the application in German.

Ifa song used SoundFonts under Windows Vista or Windows 7, the programcould store the wrong path to the referenced samples. As a result, therewould be missing sounds next time the song was opened.

Switching from MIDI sync to internal sync could result in an Unknown Exception alert.

The program could become very unresponsive when working with songs with a large number of self-contained samples.

Songsor combi patches could load with incorrect settings. This happened if aCombi rotary or button had been programmed to control a certain deviceparameter, and this parameter had been changed manually so that itsstate conflicted with the Combi rotary/button. After saving and loading,the setting of the device parameter was reset to match the Combisettings.

When stopping after recording in ReWire mode, the program could freeze for a few seconds.

Updated some Japanese translations.

The program could assert when changing to virtual MIDI input settings.

Kongs Nurse Rex in Slice Trig mode within a Mute Group would not mute the voice when another pad was triggered.

Acrash could be caused by dragging one or more half width devices andhovering over a Disk Channel device that doesnt show inserts.

The function of bouncing several audio clips to new samples or to a new recording could take longer than expected.

The remote override mode was not completely blocked while the program tried to quit.

Muted audio clips in Blocks while adjusting the Block Clip offset could look a bit peculiar.

Sample Editor now handles samples with a sampling frequency below 8000 HZ correctly.

Names of Mix Channels could become blank in certain cases.

Bugin the Mix/Disk-channel, which could occur whenever a device was addedor removed in the combi of a channel device (insert effects). This bugmight show itself by some short clicking sound, artifact or short freezewhen adding or removing devices in a channel device. The Combinator wasnot affected, and also not the master section.

There was a bugwhen the user tried to move the notes that were being recorded either byscaling the tempo in the tool window or nudging them withCtrl-left/right.

Handling of ReGrooved blocks has been improved.

NN-Nano now uses High Quality Interpolation when pitching samples.

Converting pattern automation to notes disregarded pattern offsets incorrectly.

Automation of aftertouch, expression and breath are now smoothed in Thor.

ReFill Packer:

ReFill Packer will now preserve tempo maps in AIFF and WAV files.

The previous version of ReFill Packer didnt handle files with leading and trailing spaces in their names properly.

Better handling of how ReFill Packer works when invoked using non privileged accounts.
