Something Unreal

Probably the most interesting thing about this update is that there’s a new option to make the pitch be preserved when you change playback speed (so only the tempo changes). I’ve finally updated the screenshot, too, to make it look a little more interesting.

Here’s the full list of changes…

• Program actually pays attention to what you set “Move mS” (for servos) to now (this is the first time I’ve been able to test servos with this program for a very long time).
• COM port (serial) now really does enable and disable itself when you tell it to, and when program config is reloaded at startup (or when you tell it to load a custom config).
• Greatly improved the way serial data is sent - all servo positions are sent when ALL events due to happen at the current time have happened (i.e. the positions are only sent at the “end result”, rather than all positions being sent when only each separate position changes). Also, constant unnecessary repeats of “release” positions are no longer sent.
• Added volume control for music on the main playback view.
• Added an option to make the pitch be preserved when you change playback speed (so only the tempo changes). =D (Note that this makes the program run in a slight amount of delay - the audio/events stay in sync, but there will be a slight delay when you tell it to play/stop (around 65 milliseconds, depending on the playback rate, with most soundcards).
• Playback offset is now saved between program runs (I’m not quite sure how I was able to forget this previously).
• Made it so that slightly more info can fit into the area underneath the “Chart:” drop-down box (horizontally).
