X-DAW - New Features
• It is now possible to create a large Articulation preset in 15 seconds by copying all articulation names from any document, and pasting the names to the X-DAW.
• The new OCR utility allows you to screenshot the Instrument articulations or a PDF (image based) articulations list.
The screenshot is converted into text and copied to the computer clipboard automatically.
You can paste the articulation names directly to the X-DAW, or edit the text in the OCR text editor.
• It is now possible to click the left column label (in the “Articulations” sector) and switch the column view to:
Ch, KS1, KS2, CC1, CC2, Map# or Art ID#. You can enable/disable the column view definitions (Ch, KS1, KS2, CC1…) in X-DAW Preferences.
• Now you can switch between large Articulation names view and Instrument/Art names view by toggling the "Art" button in Logic mode.
In Cubase mode the same button switches between Slots/Arts view and large Articulation name view.
• Reorder Maps by Key Switch number. You can reset all Maps by KS# (if you own 3rd party Articulation Maps ordered by type, UACC standard etc),
and order the Maps according to your taste or your own standard.
• It is now possible to assign Logic Articulation ID numbers regardless of the Articulations order (Logic mode only).
The custom Art ID numbers are stored in the Logic Articulation Set or exported to AG Scripter. This feature allows you to
order the Articulations by type and build your own unified system similar to UACC.
• Now the MIDI Channel assignment offers a neutral channel assignment “- - -“ setting, which is useful for Instruments which do not need MIDI Channel switching.
• Now the “Export Program/Articulation Names” feature no longer adds empty lines after the last Name.
• Now Logic “Art ID Instrument” mode (Logic factory Instruments) allows you to assign Art ID numbers higher
than # 127. You can assign Art ID numbers up to number 255 for Logic stock Instruments.
