Untangling the spaghetti from the fork
I am new to coding. So, whatever real coders call it when you work alone on software for a while and a bunch of features and buttons and “things” pile up on the screen into a twisted mass that needs to be untangled—that’s what v1.5 is meant to fix.
The UI is much improved—I removed all the “duplicate to edit” buttons and links. Now you just tweak stuff and save to the Patches tab.
The whole Send-to-Seven flow is greatly improved. And it’s better at identifying and skipping duplicates.
There was a bug that Rich Olivieri reported from the Crumar Seven & Seventeen Users FB group—when his Seven was offline, it nefariously reported that he needed to install expansion packs that he already had installed. It no longer does this.
Oh … and there’s this thing the Seven’s “buffer” forces on the software that always confused me. I’d be editing or listening to a patch that was up on the computer screen, then I’d navigate away from it. But the screen would still show, for example, the Reed Piano. Now the software dims the center and right columns so it’s clear that you’re no longer editing that tone. This one is hard to explain, but will make sense when you use This Seven Goes to Eleven (or 7/11, as I sometimes call it).
Now get out there and play your Seven!
