User Manual:

G-Stomper Rhythm 4.4 Release Notes:

MIDI:

  • New MIDI export for Patterns (Main Menu / EXP / Pattern as MIDI)
    Generally only Tracks with audible content are included in a MIDI Export. In other words, muted Tracks and Tracks without a main Sequence will be excluded.
    Automations are only exported, if the automated parameter is mapped to a MIDI CC in the MIDI Setup.
  • Bugfix: Continuously incoming NoteON/OFF messages of the same note are now handled correctly

Sampler:

  • The sample loader allows now to browse (and load from) the list samples which are used in the current project
  • Fixed a bug in the sampler automation menu (LFO params do now show up properly)
  • Fixed a bug in the sampler backend, which caused some sounds not be played in some very rare situations (very special thanks to Peter and Jan for their report and help)

FX:

  • 7 New FX types:
    Gate
    Transient Shaper
    Compressor/Limiter II
    Vocoder A (8-Band)
    Vocoder B (8-Band)
    Vocoder C (8-Band)
    Vocoder D (8-Band)
    All new FX types are side-chainable, which means they have 2 inputs (in the regular FX chain).
    In case of the Vocoders, the normal input 1 is the Modulator (voice) signal, while the input 2 is the Carrier (synth) signal.
    If you don’t send a Carrier (Synth) signal to input 2 of a Vocoder, then an internal Carrier is generated (static at note C2).
  • Overall Compressor/Limiter algorithms improved
  • Fixed a bug in the LFOs which prevented the LFOs from being properly reset in some rare situations (very special thanks to Peter and Jan for their report and help)

Audio & Audio related:

  • More control over the internal audio latency (see Setup/AUD/Internal Latency)
  • Lower latency for devices with OpenSL support

Persistency:

  • Automatic file backup (in form of a …_BAK file) whenever you save a Pattern (see Setup / GEN / Automatic file Backup)
  • New embedded file format for Patterns. All G-Stomper files that contain references to audio samples do now embed the samples by default.
    This means you can share your patterns with other users, even if they don’t have the used samples.
    If you prefer the old linked file format (which is slightly faster and also of smaller file size) you can switch the default file format to ‘linked’ in the G-Stomper Setup (see Setup / GEN / Default File format).
    The embedded file types all end with a ‘e’ in the file extension (e.g. Pattern = .gspe).
    Which files are embedded types and which are in the old style is indicated in the G-Stomper filebrowser by an ‘E’ on the file icon.

General:

  • Added full support for Android M (6.0), including the new Android M Permission model
  • Devices with the Adreno 420 GPU (e.g. Nexus 6) will be back on full speed with Android M (Google fixed the driver Bug in the latest M release)

      Fixes the UI performance issue when using the Portrait Mode on Android 5.0
      Several minor UI bug fixes for Android 5.0
    G-Stomper Rhythm 4.0 Release Notes:
    • New redesigned Graphical User Interface
      Complete new graphical design.
      Zillions of UI optimizations and bug fixes.
    • New overall file handling
      All File Dialogs have been replaced by a new File Browser, which allows you to organize all your user files in folder structures.
    • New custom initial Pattern
      Save you own init pattern to be used in every case when a new initial pattern is created.
      Simply save your desired init pattern with the name ‘-init-’.
    • New optimized Export Process + Post Processing
      Generally the Export Process has been re-organized.
      Furthermore you get a new ‘Post Processing’ option in the Export Format Dialog, where you can choose Normalize the exported audio to -0dB (max volume).
    • Optimization in the Mixer logic
      The mixer channel volumes have been separated from the Sampler internal Levels.
      So if you now automate the Level on a Sampler Track, you can still change its overall volume using the mixer channel.
      Furthermore the mixer channels got new internal amplifier modules.
      Logically, the Sampler internal Level is applied on each triggered sound separately at the very first moment when the sound is generated
      while the Mixer Channel Volume is applied to Sampler internal Mixdown right before it gets routed to the FX chain.
    • New Mixer Volume Link Mode (Mixer view)
      We all know this situation when you want to make a particular track louder, but it is at max volume already.
      The only ‘proper’ way to achieve this is to lower all other channel volumes, which usually results in messing the mix up.
      Not any longer… , you can now link the mixer channel volumes to raise or lower all channels at once while keeping the relation of volumes between the channels (long press the ‘VOL’ button to enable/disable).
      When enabled, you can move any Volume Fader you want and all others follow while keeping the mix intact.
      Try it, you’ll definitely love that feature.
    • Improved Roll feature (main Drum Machine)
      You can now enable the Roll feature to be ‘Accent Aware’ (long press the ‘ROLL’ button to enable/disable).
      When enabled, the Roll uses the regular Accent amount to adjust the Loudness of the particular Roll Triggers.
      The first Roll trigger is at max volume (accentuated) while the last Roll trigger is at the min (most reduced) volume.
      All Roll triggers in between (in case of Roll 3x/4x) are calculated to transit smoothly from max to min accentuation.
      The Accent amount can be set as usual with the Accent Fader (in accent mode on the main Drum Machine).
    • Improved Fill-in algorithm (main Drum Machine)
      The Fill-in feature manipulates now Triggers and Accents (accents are only audible if an accent amount is set), while keeping the groove intact (e.g. it never places 2 accents in sequence).
      This makes the generated Fill-ins to sound much more natural, be sure to give it a try.
      The Accent amount can be set as usual with the Accent Fader (in accent mode on the main Drum Machine).
    • Updated Documentation

    Very special thanks to:

    G-Stomper Rhythm 3.3.2 Release Notes:
    • New User Manual (online + PDF): Click Help / Documentation
      Please notice that not all Chapters are finished yet, the unfinished Chapters will follow soon.
    • Pattern Audio Export supports now multiple Loop Cycles

    • Multiple Parameter selections for Clear/Init/Auto-Complete Automation
      You’re now able to select multiple Parameters at once when you Clear, Init, or Auto-Complete Automations.
    • Improved Auto-Clone Bars functionality: Step-Edit
      Parameter Changes in Step Edit Mode get now cloned when Auto-Clone Bars is enabled
    • New Buttons to turn the Fine Tune Mode ON/OFF
      (FX Edit, Master Edit, Mixer)
    • New Step Edit Auto-Init Steps Mode (long press Step Edit = ON/OFF)
      Since the fine tune got its own buttons in this release, the step edit buttons got the long click freed for a new useful feature, the Step Edit Auto-Init Steps Mode.
      Simply long click the Step Edit Buttons to turn it ON/OFF.What does the Auto-Init Steps Mode:
      In Step Edit – Normal Mode, if you create a single Automation event (set a Parameter value at a particular Step), then the Parameter gets set at this Step and it keeps its value until some later Step sets a new value. The Parameter actually keeps the value, because there’s no other Event in the Sequence, which sets another value.
      Depending on what you want to achieve, this behaviour might be essential, e.g. if you want to set Key Steps for the Auto-Complete Parameter Automation feature.

      In Step Edit – Normal Mode (if Auto-Init Steps is OFF), if you create a single Automation event (set a Parameter value at a particular Step), then the Parameter gets set at this Step and it keeps its value until some later Step sets a new value. The Parameter actually keeps the value, because there’s no other Event in the Sequence, which sets another value.
      Depending on what you want to achieve, this behaviour might be essential, e.g. if you want to set Key Steps for the Auto-Complete Parameter Automation feature.

      In other situations it might be better to initialize all Steps with the base value of a particular Parameter first, e.g. if you want to keep a Parameter value over the complete Pattern length and you only want to change it on a particular Step.
      In previous versions, the only way to achieve this was to explicitly initialize the Automation for a particular Parameter.

      With the latest version, you don’t have manually initialize anymore.
      With Auto-Init Steps Mode turned ON, if you create a single Automation event (set a Parameter value at a particular Step), then the Automation Sequence of the Parameter gets automatically initialized before the Step values gets set.

      Example:
      1. Start with a fresh Pattern
      2. Select Track T01
      3. Set the Volume fader to 100
      4. Short click the Step Edit Button to turn the Step Edit Mode ON
      5. Then long click the Step Edit button to turn the Auto-Init Steps Mode ON as well
      6. Select Step 09 using the Step Buttons
      7. On Step 09, set the Volume fader to 0(zero).
      8. Now short click the Step Edit Button to turn the Step Edit Mode OFF
      9. Press Play and watch the Volume fader

      For more details about the Auto-Init Steps mode, click Help / Documentation / 12 Parameter Automation / Step Edit Automations

    • Fixed a crash bug which rarely occurred when loading samples into memory
    G-Stomper Rhythm 1.3 Release Notes:
    • Completely re-arranged and more intuitive Layout for all screens
      Everything has been moved to the right place and properly resized.
      Non-self explaining controls have been properly labeled.
    • New additional flat design (Selectable in the ‘Setup dialog / Layout / Theme’)
      This release comes with a new additional flat design, which can be selected if form of a ‘Theme’ in the Layout section of the Setup dialog.
      Be sure to check the new flat design out, it gives the complete app a new different look.
    • Active Track Labels on all related screens
      New active labels which indicate if a particular track is open or closed
    • Pattern Name Labels for all Pattern Slots on the Pattern Set
    • Dynamic colorization for multi functional faders
      When switching the FX parameters from p1+2 to p3+4 for example, then the fader bars get colorized depending on their function (1st function = blue, 2nd function = red).
      If p1+2 is activ, then you control the blue bars + the fader thumb has a blue color mark
      If p3+4 is active, then you control the red bars + the fader thumb has a red color mark
      As a matter of course, the X-Y pads got the same behavior. 1st function controls the blue cross, 2nd function controls the red cross.
    • Standardized Label notation
      All Labels have been changed to normal (non-italic) uppercase letters.
    • Overall 20-30% better UI performance
      The new User Interface uses less memory as well as less cpu, so you get 20-30% more head room for audio processing.
    • Many UI bugs fixed

    Very special thanks to Jan for his reports.

    G-Stomper Rhythm 1.2.2 Release Notes:

    • New setting to change the overall fader + XY-Pad behavior to “relative”.
      With this setting enabled, the faders and XY-Pads work in a relative mode, which means wherever you touch the control, all moments start relative to the touch position (the absolute position is not set on touch).
    • New XY-Pads for Filter, EFX and Master EFX (tap the new X-Y switch above the EFX and filter to enable)
    • Overall Graphics improvement (technical preparation for the upcoming re-design). The tuned graphics are much more accurate and use less memory.
