New Tool (3.1) EXS24

v0.2 is now published!

You can download it from Renoise or directly from the Github releases page.

Bug fixes:

  • Windows file paths should be handled correctly :sweat_smile:
  • The table.clear bug reported above is not possible anymore
  • Bounds detection for very big .exs files (used by the latest Logic Sampler instruments) is correct
  • The “chunk type” (instrument, zone, sample etc.) is correctly detected for big endian files
  • Invalid sample files shouldn’t be able to crash the plugin anymore. You just get an error message

New features:

  • Volume is mapped
  • Loop mode (forward, reverse, ping pong) is mapped
  • Sample files located in the same directory as the .exs file are automatically located
  • Sample files in the original path specified in the .exs file are automatically located
  • The hardcoded path “patterns” were replaced with a path “rebasing” mechanism. The rebasing approach is almost always able to find the correct path automatically.

Improvements:

  • Much faster exs file parsing. The entire file is loaded into a buffer up front rather than seeking the file on disk.
  • The internals were completely rewritten. It will be much easier to extend and maintain now.
  • A lot more fields are correctly parsed, but these aren’t exposed in Renoise yet.
  • Automated Pre-release builds
  • Automated release builds

Thanks everyone! Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
