A new beta version of a Musical Generator 3.1 is available for download. You have to uninstall any previous version of aMG before installing this version. It is still a beta, so there might be some bugs. It runs stable at my test system however. Please report any error to MuSoft Builders. Suggestions for improvement are also welcome.

Added features

• There are now 128 tracks. Each track can be assigned to a MIDI channel and one or more ports.
• 64 drum tracks.
• The user interface has been improved. Instead of double clicking at a track, you have can now directly change options with the controls just above the view. This is more neat and a fast way to change parameters.
• The ability to read JPEG's, GIF's and PNG's (see file|open).
• You can reproduce pictures from the RGB channels created. Any channel can be replaced by a fractal of your own choice.
• This version is not upward compatible anymore. Previous versions are not able to read files wriiten by version 3.1. It is still downward compatible however.
• The help file does not yet reflect the current changes.

Removed bugs

• Big pictures saved as a .tmg file would not reload. They will do so now.
• Complex maps reported an error when X size and Y size were not equal.
• When you changed a patch of a MIDI channel, the patch of the next channel was changed as well.

Known bugs

• Grey .PNG bitmaps cannot be read at this moment.
• When editing a complex map that is being plotted, previewing and plotting slows down to a crawl. One might even think that the system hangs. This is not so, so be careful not to kill aMG. Either close the plot or wait until plotting is finished before editing a complex map.
