Discord3 Windows Updated to 1.1.0...
Post Comment   
I've just put the v1.1.0 Windows installer of Discord3 in to the AD store, and it is now in the account of all owners of D3. In this version:

64-bit Version. The installer now lets you install either or both 32- and 64-bit versions. It attempts to make a guess as to which one you'd want based upon your system, but you can override its naive plans if you so desire.

Minor bug fixes. A couple little this-and-that touch ups. Notably, we've taken a stab at the "bleep" bug that occurs occasionally when the Granular engine is at extreme settings. It definitely occurs less, but I have one report that it is still occurring. I'd like some more info; if you can get it to occur regularly, save an .FXP file of the settings and mail it to me.

Anyhow, this is, as you full well know, our first 64-bit Windows release. We've tested it as thoroughly as we're able, but please write us via the AD site's support section if you run in to any issues.

The OS X 64-bit builds will be along presently. We're still puzzling that side of things out.

Discord 3 64bit gets the job done. Sweet. Now bring on all the remaining ones ;-)

We're getting there. The hard part was setting up a Streamlined Workflow. Unfortunately, the development environment we used on Windows to make 90% of our products won't build 64-bit plugs, so we had to get a new one and actually _port_ Discord3 to it. This was supremely annoying. (To Adam, anyhow. I was little use in this process, other than standing by and thinking encouraging thoughts.)

In any event, we had to get one out to see what was what. Now that we know it works, we can move along. Our current roadmap is as follows:

1. Our next instrument. These updates don't generate any income, and despite what it may seem like, we do need to eat and pay the rent occasionally. So that's next. It is, however, quite far along, and three or four solid days of coding should bring it in to beta. This will be 64-bit on day of release, though.

2. The Combo Platter. As I mentioned in a previous post, we're combining several products in to one. It should be obvious which ones, if you're familiar with our catalog. I don't want to talk about this until we've at least got a working framework, as it's a pretty complex operation. This will also be 64-bit on the day of release, and will ease the matter somewhat, as it will turn four products (a total of 24 builds) in to one (with 6 builds.)

3. THEN we will probably port the products that won't be changed; we'll do them in order of popularity, so Replicant, Dubstation, Automaton, and Eos will come pretty quickly. We'll be doing touch-ups to the UIs to bring them in line with the current branding, and we may add a feature here or there.

Sounds like a good plan to me. You only forgot to mention what that new instrument is :-)

Sounds good... let's see... AD... instrument... it's got to be a 303-type thing, obviously!

Can I make a comment/suggestion? On the about/credits part of the UI, can you put the full version number there somewhere? That seems to be the traditional place for it. I don't always remember which version I'm running when I see those updates on the AD account page.

Occasionally I put up "scaffolding" prints of BP works in progress. They're usually abstractions/details from a song --- only a few instruments, never the melody. They sound kind of like minimalist remixes of the song.

This one involves a psychedelic treatment of some metallic sounds with Discord3, so I thought it merited sharing here.

Thanks! Song was inspired by overhearing a parent try to explain the concept of fiction to a child. Conversation began with "It's not REAL, but it's not LYING..."
