Version 1.5.0 (released 29 April 2021)
This update is recommended for all Unify users.
High-level changes
- "Auto-Open Browser" option (default ON)
- Ensures that the patch browser opens automatically, whenever the layer-stack is shown.
- When checked, windows size does not change. The browser either is, or is not present
at the right-hand side of the window.
- When NOT checked, the old behavior (including window-resizing) persists.
- You will probably want to resize the window to make it wider, then use the ops menu icon at the
very bottom center of the GUI and choose "Save preferred window size".
- "Are you sure?" option (default OFF)
- Unify will now present an "are you sure?" dialog when attempting any operation (INIT, load new patch)
that would replace it completely, if the patch appears to have changed.
- Note there will be many apparent "false alarms":
- Even something as simple as changing a macro knob position will trigger it.
- Some plug-ins will trigger it every time they are loaded; I have no control over this.
- ComboBox triggers it every time, even if nothing has changed in contained plug-ins.
(I plan to try to fix this.)
- This feature is OFF by default, but can be switched on with a new checkbox in Settings.
- Auto-save option (default ON)
- In all cases where the "are you sure?" dialog would appear (even if disabled), Unify
will automatically save the current patch to a new Auto-Saved Patches sub-folder under the main
Unify data folder.
- When this feature is active (see below), clicking the revert button will display a
pop-up menu of choices, including loading any of the auto-saved patches, listed in reverse time
order, so the most-recent is always at the top.
- The maximum number of auto-saves is 5 by default, and can be changed to between 0 and 10
with a new popup menu in Settings.
- Setting the auto-save count to 0 disables this feature entirely.
Smaller changes
- Minor GUI changes
- Settings and other display-mode icons are now disabled for embedded Unify instances.
- Ops-button menu for individual linked parameters now includes new "duplicate" item.
- Bugs fixed
- All right-click patch load options AND key shortcuts should now work as expected.
- Several issues fixed in MIDIBox.
- PhaseMod now saves/restores correctly.
- Plug-ins by Softube should now work correctly on Mac.
