Todays update brings a feature I’ve been wanting to implement for a while but have had some problems with so it kept getting placed on the sidelines. Today that feature is finally going to be released. I’m calling it the Metronome Timeline.
New Features
The Metronome Timeline is feature that will help Kina-Musicians keep better control of their rhythm. The way it works is when you set the (BPM) Beats Per Minute to anything besides 0 (in the settings menu) it will create the Metronome Timeline in the bottom right corner (above the Clock Controls). Lets say for instance you set the BPM to 60. That means every minute there will be 60 beats so one beat every second. The Metronome Timeline in the bottom left will move one segment (node) every second and sync up with the Clock. By default there is 4 segments in a measure. You will be able to choose how many segments you want there to be in a measure. You will also be given the option to enable or disable the Metronome’s audio.
With the addition of the Metronome Timeline, I also added a mode called Beat-to-Beat mode. When holding Ctrl (Control) and pressing Play, the song will go until the next node and pause on it (within the closest frame). This will be used to better time collisions and further help with rhythm.
Bug Fixes
Tweaked Drop Collisions - This shouldn’t mess up any songs. But make it more consistent.
Fixed Solfege Animation Anomalies - Due to different framerates the Solfege (Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti) would fade out too fast or too slow. This should now not be a problem.
Fixed Solfege Sometimes Displaying Placeholder Text - Rarely when hitting a Rest Line the text “Hey” would appear.
As usual if you find any bugs please email us at: [email protected] or create a post on the Report A Bug Forum Directory
Happy Kina-Composing!
