Development update (March 24)
I got a little bit distracted by reading too much about Emacs and tweaking my config for it, so noisicaä had a little downtime of about three weeks. But to get things rolling about, I had a little "Expose Ports" sprint, which I just merged into master.
What's new
Control ports, which previously could only be set interactively to a fixed value, can now be "exposed" as normal ports, so you can connect them to other nodes. Basically what other DAWs call "automation"...
The UI is still suboptimal - it's just a nameless checkbox next to the dial. This also only works for the generic node UI so far. Other built-in nodes with a custom UI should also get that feature, but I'll have to think about the UI design. Perhaps make this available via a popup menu on all controls?
Also a-rate control ports, can now be used like k-rate control ports, i.e. either set the value via a UI dial or expose and connect them to other nodes.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a crash when removing node with connections.
- Fixed a crash when removing some LV2 plugin nodes, where there is some issue with the State extension. The issue still exists (a traceback is dumped to the log and state collection stops), but doesn't cause a crash anymore.
Internal changes
- Dump audio engine opcodes to the log (via the "Dev" menu).
