Hey hey! Et oui, la version finale 1.9 de Renoise est là!

Introducing Renoise 1.9
Renoise 1.9 is the first of the smaller updates to follow 1.8. For a 0.1 update there is a surprising amount of features.

Highlights of Renoise 1.9
Let us have a look at the most important new features.

Multi-core support
Renoise 1.9 will take advantage of all the cores in your multi-core processor to boost up performance, allowing you to add much more and heavier DSPs, tracks, VST FX and VST Instruments than before.

6 New DSP devices
New artillery for the loudness war: the Bus Compressor and Maximizer have been created without any concessions in regard to quality, with exceptional 64-bit dithering and feedback transient analysis. The Velocity Device opens a new world of level-driven FX manipulation. The other devices are Chorus, Distortion 2 and Gate 2.

Supercharged DSP devices
Existing DSPs have received an overhaul, including filter response graphs for the 64-bit EQ devices, the intuitive LPC frequency unit in the LFO device and 64-bit precision filter auxiliary sections. And that is just scratching the surface.

Improved MIDI support
Fast and stable MIDI timing through WDM MIDI drivers, adjustable jitter reduction for the MIDI Clock to improve external synchronization, hot-pluggable devices on OS X and non-blocking MIDI connections on Windows.

Preset handling for Renoise’s DSP devices
Organize your original DSP settings to have quick access to your signature sound, or get quality presets from other users to save yourself time. The A/B Comparison feature lets you switch between two configurations so you can decide which one sounds best.

Adjustable rulers in the Sample Editor
The rulers in the Sample Editor will help you to slice your beats. With a rightclick you can switch the scale. Enable Snapping to snap to the nearest division and you got yourself a homebrew beatslicer. Well, almost.

Per-Sample Interpolation and NNA
The interpolation mode and New Note Action (NNA) have been moved from instrument level down to sample level. Chiptune artists take notice, it is now possible to disable interpolation to preserve that authentic crunchy sound.

* Added global shortcuts for Sequencer navigation: In the keybindings section "global" of the preferences pane, you can now assign keys to navigate the sequencer. These are by default not assigned.

* Song validation: When saving Songs, Instruments or Device-Chains, the saved documents are automatically validated after saving, to make sure that a fault on your HD or memory will not destroy your work. You will get a warning and can save the documents again in case of an error.
Ca c'est bon! ^

* DiskBrowser speedups: Navigating large directory trees (especially on network drives) should be a lot faster now. Also hidden and system folders are visualized different in the DiskBrowser in Windows builds.

* Third-Party development: The new XRNS, XRNI and XRNT document formats have been improved and cleaned up again. There are now also schemas for all formats available. These are installed next to the Renoise excecutable in a folder "Schemas"on Windows, and within the Application bundle on OS X. The schemas are not yet finished, but can already be used to validate the XML files.

Une telle version du logiciel correspond usuellement, à quelques erreurs près, à la version «finale» ou «stable» dudit logiciel ; elle est mise à disposition à des fins de «tests de dernière minute» visant à déceler les toutes dernières erreurs subsistant au sein du programme.
