Toot v1.2 Update

Version 1.2

Hello Version 1.2 is out, And then between writing this and uploading it I found some bad bugs so It’s actually 1.2.1.. But anyways like last time it’s mostly just fixes with a few new features. Personally here’s what I think are the most important things:

Controller Support: Cleaned a lot of the underlying engine code and now should be able to support controller input!, Though I have only tested it on my GCN Port-box and Nintendo Switch Pro controller. So a bit paranoid it might not for all controllers so please let me know if it doesn’t.

Amplify Export: You can now choose what the peak volume you want to export at is now. Usually Toot’s output isn’t the highest cause the apparent volume is (at least to me.) much louder but if you need to export it louder or quieter you can.

Sketch Tab Lag: Changed the rendering for notes so they shouldn’t cause problems as much anymore. The whole thing is kinda a mess still but I hope this improved it.

I don’t think there’s much more to update for the future; Just a few minor things I would want to add maybe like a option to auto-clean toot banks to save space in the file or better unicode/controller support… But unless there’s bad bugs that really get in the way or api changes I run into under the hood might be done with it. It’s a bit messy and I feel like next time I can do better (Each time I make a synth I feel like I learn a lot.) but still really happy and proud of it in general. Happy tooting!
