The following features are new in this release of converter:
•
2 channels of ultra-fast spectral analysis on a spectral viewpanel (shift-F10) with approximate
frequency detection and bandwidth activity analysis
•
Aggressively optimized code resulting in huge performance gains, especially for certain
machines using certain chipsets
•
Smaller memory footprint, allowing more room for memory resident drivers
•
Giant timecode (smpte) and midi clock display panel, readable from across a large room
•
Significantly improved graphics performance, with dramatic improvements in speed to certain
display panels (such as the oscilloscopes)
•
Computer keyboard LEDs auto-sync-able to internal or external clock sources with a selection
of patterns, providing a potential remote visual tempo cue source for performers either live or in
a studio session
•
Updated, more comprehensive windows detection
•
Bootup system profiling to evaluate computer’s real-time abilities and to make adjustments to
ensure responsive as well as reliable performance
•
Improved hardware drivers
•
Improved mouse driver compatibility
•
Improved overall compatibility with a larger range of chipsets and other hardware
•
Stack size increased to help very old (486/33 etc) computers handle larger work loads better
•
Upgraded error handling subsystem resulting in more robust stability
•
DC block filters now implemented on audio channels not set to filter mode

data merging issue)
•
audio trigger programming and filters not reset from load program bug – fixed (oops!)
•
joystick calibration problems accidentally introduced in versoin 1.4 now fixed

As always
, if upgrading from an earlier version of converter and placing the new version in the same
folder or on the same disk as the older version, make sure to overwrite all the existing files with the new
files in the version 1.5 archive. Most of the files are changed in each update, and converter will behave
unpredictably if only the main executable (c.exe) is copied, as it relies heavily on its external files.
