September 11, 2003
TC Electronic has released Spark XL 2.8.1, adding several enhancements and new features over version 2.8.
New features include support for burning multiple CDs from a single playlist, Audio Units plug-in support for the batch converter and automatic plug-in delay compensation for the playback cursor.
Additionally, new user settings for the Preferences dialog has been added, as well as preloading-support for Waves' plug-in shell. On top of that optimizations in the FXMachine speed up the handling of Spark XL even more.
Feature changes from SPARK XL 2.8
- Supports burning multiple CDs from a single playlist.
- Audio Units plug-in support in the Batch Converter.
- Mouse wheel and right click events in plug-ins and many controls supported.
- Playback cursor in the main Edit window adjusted to compensate for plug-in delay.
- Spark XL now offers even greater speed and ease of use, thanks to enhancements in the Play List handling.
- "Go to Previous View" and "Go to Next View" in the FXMachine Menu allow the user to scroll to different plug-in views from the menu, and to use these commands as keyboard shortcut options.
- New settings in the Preferences dialog:
- "Restore zoom after Undo/Redo" option. This maintains the current zoom setting between undo/redo changes, allowing easier comparison to processed and unprocessed audio.
- "Preload shell plug-ins on start-up" option in FXMachine preference panel, resulting in much better Waveshell. If this option is enabled, all Waves plug-ins appear in a subfolder called "Waveshell" without the Waveshell dialog popping up.
- A new feature added to the FXMachine preferences allows to choose default VST plug-in knob mode (linear).
FXMachine (plug-in) feature changes from Spark XL 2.8
- FXMachine now supports our new application independent preset handling.
- Mouse wheel and right click events support for plug-ins/controls.
- FXMachine can now be used with Audio Units applications such as Logic. (functions as VST to Audio Units adapter. FXMachine does not host Audio Units plug-ins).
- New MIDI options for send and receive: the options (selectable in the meter menu) get saved with the song or host preset.
