Voodoo Music Generator 1.1

Well, we first released the Voodoo Music Generator a year ago today!  In anticipation of this event, I've been working on a number of updates to release as Update 1.1!  Unfortunately, some of the exciting bonus features I've been working on are not quite ready to launch, so while we are releasing Version 1.1 today, also expect Version 1.2 in the near future with additional goodies!

Here are the notes for today's update (which you can pick up here):

Voodoo Music Generator 1.1:

  • Tweaked the randomness system to provide more consistent results when using different instruments.
  • Dynamic Note Velocities -- Where previously all notes were scored at the same velocity value, the music generator will now implement velocity patterns, making results more fluid and realistic.
  • Drums!  Each of the 47 General Midi Percussion voices are now available for use in the generator, under the category "Drums", or just at the very bottom of the list.
  • Efficiency -- Revised some algorithms that were slowing the process down considerably.
  • Bug fixes -- There were several, ranging from minor to impressive, but I didn't keep track of what they were exactly.
