Wavesequencer Hyperion Releases

1.52

released 04/26/24

 

This release features a major update of patch scanning logic and extra functionality for patch management.

Clicking the spanner button in the patch browser swithces the meta-data view to to the patch list tools panel.

Using this panel you can select multiple patches and modify any of their meta data/tags, move a set of patches into a sub folder of the top level patch directory, export a set of files into a 'patch set' file - this process will automatically gather any referenced sample files and include them - so long as patches being added are either in the top level folder, or one level down in one of the subfolders.

Additionally you can optionally enable the subfolder and UUID info columns in the patch browser (useful for confirming moving your patches into a sub folder) - the tags info column is now un-selected/invisible by default, since it's not really that necessary as you have the filter buttons which represent the same information, but you can always turn that back on.

The patch scanning works from the 'top directory' and includes scans of folders one level down to include in the list.
By default new patches will be saved into the top level folder - which will have a new default location one level above 'Factory Patches' (when you launch Hyperion, it will automatically reset the top level folder if it was previously set to 'Factory Patches' - which was the previous default).

This sub folder scheme means you can re-save a factory patch, and it will be shown twice in the list.. so you can edit without concern of losing the original patch. The copied patch has a new UUID on saving to ensure it also gets listed.
So there's much less of chance of name clashing - since all patch packs and factory patches are in sub-folders.

If you want to clean up your top level folder contents, you'll be able to move patches into your own 'collection' sub folder.. but you can still keep the original 'collection' name.. renaming the collection tag is optional.

You can also rename patches directly - but only one at a time. If you select multiple patches, the Name check box in the tools area becomes un-selectable.

Any moved patches or re-written patches (due to meta-data changes) will have the 'favorite' status preserved.
'Favourite' status is local to your machine - exported/imported patches don't keep that information.

You can also now set a default 'collection' type in the settings panel - useful if you are developing a patch pack, so you don't have to type it in every time (even though you can always fix the patches later with the new tools).
The default collection name is 'User Patches'.

Please note that it may take a minute to re-scan your patches to populate the patch list at first launch following this update.

 

 

Theia Releases

1.09

released 04/26/24

 

This update adds support for subfolder scanning of patches and auto-import of downlaoded patch packs - the default patch directory is now /Wavesequencer_Theia/Patches/ instead of previously being /Wavesequencer_Theia/Patches/FactoryPatches.

If you change the top level folder Theia will scan all files in that folder, and all directories one level below.

Love’ em both. Great sounding synths.
