Fixed: published builds crashed at launch. A required module was missing from the app package; if the previous build wouldn't start, this one will. Playback fixes · Pitch bends now decode the full 14-bit value. Previously every bend read as nearly full-scale down — with a wide bend range set, whole channels could play an octave low. · Drum kits no longer stack every kit layer onto every note (p…
A small release to fix a couple of bugs: · Selection preview is now displaying again · SoundFont and Spritesheet settings no longer blank out when undoing/redoing.
Heyo! It's major update time! This feature marks a culmination of very important features that give you total control over how your works on DanielX.net Paint Composer look and sound. First we added custom SoundFonts, then we added custom spritesheets, then custom VFX shaders, and now we've added the ability to render directly to .mp4 video! You no longer need to use separate screen capture sof…

This update adds support for custom spritesheets! Drag and drop a PNG image into the editor and the "Import Spritesheet" modal will appear. Choose a name for the spritesheet (this is what will appear in the spritesheet picker dropdown in Settings) Specify the tile width and height. This is the size of each tile in the PNG image. They must be aligned on a grid. Specify the scale. The default spr…
Added back audio effects via dropdown picker · Importing older .dxc songs that were saved with more than 16 different instruments now load by dropping the excess instruments and displaying a notice. · Additional audio node cleanup (should improve performance and reduce sound glitching on some song/SoundFont combinations). · Added account ID info in About panel to help with account support quest…
Now when publishing your songs to a public URL Paint Composer will also publish the SoundFont used in them as well. This way you can share a link with anyone and they will be able to hear your song exactly the same way you hear it! The MIDI file includes metadata that links to a permanent URL of the SoundFont so that when someone visits the link Paint Composer automatically downloads and caches…
Bugfix: Zero delta time note release would cause some drum track events to be silent. · Bugfix: Stuck notes. Fixed bug where playing notes, then stopping playback, then placing notes on the same pitches as notes that were previously playing when playback stopped would cause those newly placed notes to get stuck. · Performance Improvement: Don't do any shader processing when no vfx filter is sel…
New feature: Added "Solo" buttons and "Unmute All" to the channel mixer. Returned Feature: Key signatures got lost in the MIDI rewrite but now they are back! There are still some legibility issues and general room for improvement but it should cover most common cases very well. As always let me know if you discover any bugs or weirdness, thanks!
