Release Notes

Version 1.0.0

  • Initial release.
  • If you purchased Open Kick, you can use your license to activate Sanguine Drums.
  • Changes to the Kick since Open Kick 1.0.7:
    • Fixed sample rate issues so the kick works the same at any sample rate.
    • Presets keep a loaded sample even when it hasn't been matched, and remember whether Listen to Sample or Listen to Match was selected.
    • The envelope page opens from the box beside the Output label.

Open Kick 1.0.7

  • Added drag and drop for exporting the kick out of the visualizer into DAW as WAV file.
  • Added an Envelope for the whole kick as the last stage after the residual. Click the Output label to open it.
    • New Envelope parameters include: Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release, Attack Curve, Decay Curve, and Release Curve.
    • Added two Envelope modes (saved with presets and sessions):
      Trigger: every hit plays the whole envelope, whatever the note length. Release has no effect.
      Gate: the kick holds at the Sustain level while the note is held and releases when it ends.
    • Added a visualizer of the envelope.

Open Kick 1.0.6

  • Fixed Listen to Sample playing quieter than Listen to Match at velocities below 127.
  • Fixed long residuals being cut off early.
  • Fixed the keyboard going silent after loading a bank or using a file dialog in Ableton Live. File dialogs now open inside the plugin window.
  • Preset manager: the active bank has its own Save, Load and Reset; an external bank can be loaded into it.
  • The Presets, Favorites, Ranges, Files, Residuals and Samples folders are created on first launch.
  • Level rows of Oscillator 1, Oscillator 2, Noise 1, Noise 2 and Residual bypass on a second click.
  • Bypass is saved with the patch, in presets, banks, files and sessions.
  • Info View is no longer saved into files and sessions.
  • Added Set Peak Max to -0.1 on the Output Level right-click. For more information on true peak see sanguine.works/loudandclear/manual.
  • Added Export Sample to the file menu, with a Set Peak Max to -0.1 option.
