Synthesizer: reFX - Nexus 1.3.8

reFX updates the rom synthesizer NEXUS to version 1.3.8. Here is what's new in this version:

Features:

• Expansions are now checked for integrity before importing, so the error-messages displayed are unambiguous now.
• NEXUS automatically switches to the “Live”-screen when an online-update is available to avoid confusion and display the download-progress.
• Sustain-pedal is handled better now. If you hold down the pedal and re-press the same keys already playing, the old notes are released and the ‘new’ notes are played as they should.

Fixes:

• On OSX the import-path could get mangled and thus newly imported expansions would not always work.
• Fixed a deadlock when Renoise ‘suspended’ NEXUS and a new preset was loaded.
• Fixed a memory leak when unloading a NEXUS instance.
• Code clean-up. Fixed several uninitialzed variables.

Changes:

• Replaced font-render routine with a more readable and cleaner LCD-subpixel algorithm. Takes a bit getting used to, but after a while it grows on you.
• Optimized the sample-player to kill voices earlier when the sample finished playing.
• Prevented the import of expansions as long as the content-path has not been determined.
• RTAS support has been removed completely. It was never officially supported by reFX and created a LOT of problems. It took us several months to implement and in the end the results where not satisfactionary. Also the demand is a lot lower than anticipated.
