Starting with Expansion Pack 12, we are adding room mics to the mix. You can customize the level of stereo and mono ones in the MICS pane.
The One Shot mode that keeps notes/strokes playing even though the key is released is now part of the specific params. This is important for voices like Tasha that has most strokes using One Shot mode, except for the continuous trill that requires the key off to end.
SwarPlug engine previously supported both sampled and physically-modeled voices. Now we have added a new Hybrid technology, which is used in the latest Expansion Pack 11 for Sarod and Sitar. This new technology combines the realism of high quality samples with the flexibility of physically-modeled sounds.
You can customize the mix for each string by selecting its rectangle and then adjusting the gain knobs. Or globally by clicking on the Force checkbox.
SwarPlug 5 now also includes a standalone app that allows you to play the instruments without any DAW. You'll find the app in the Applications (Mac) or Programs (Windows) folders. You can select the audio device in the AUDIO SETTINGS button, and even assign a MIDI controller to play directly.
You can now flag a playing style (specific string, etc...) in the KEYMAPS pane to retrigger the note when the key is released. This allows for fast trills, like playing DereDere on Sitar/Sarod. You can activate/deactivate this mode for a playing style (orange rectangle) by right clicking over it and selecting the option.
