A new version is up - you can grab the application lua file directly from google code

To install, simply download the lua file and navigate to the Duplex/Applications folder.
Then overwrite the old file with this new version and restart Renoise (or reload the tools)
(Update) You can now grab the official Duplex beta, if you want to download the whole release

What’s new:
- performance: should be more responsive (critical parts of code have been optimized) - feature: re-assign track via select track + group toggle combination - feature: better handling of inserted/swapped/deleted tracks - feature: automatic creation, or take-over of "mlrx master group” - feature: retrieval/storage of per-song settings (stored in song comments) - new option: determine if tracks should be collapsed or expanded by default - ui related: added instr. number as part of track decoration - ui related: paint the track selector with the group color
Obviously, the most important thing in this update is the improved performance. The last release was perhaps a bit rushed, as I was going on a holiday and wanted it to get “out there” so I could get some early feedback. This release should feel more solid overall, and be much less likely to skip notes, due to improvements in the critical part of the code.
Also worth noting is the ability to assign tracks to groups via the controller. Now, the group matrix is merely useful as a sort of overview, since you can easily reassign tracks to any group using the “track selector” (on the Launchpad, the right-most column of buttons). Simply press the track button, and then choose one of the group toggles!
And, thanks to the early feedback I have added several improvements to how the whole application deals with missing tracks, instruments etc. You are now able to move the entire mlrx group around inside your song, it is no longer fixed to the first few tracks (also, you now have the option to collapse all the mlrx tracks if you don’t care about looking at the notes).
Finally, I have implemented a feature which will store all relevant settings for mlrx inside the song comments. This is done transparently, so you don’t have to configure anything. Once you load the song, it should simple recall the state of the application, including each track’s triggering mode, etc.
