         	History of ReValver
		===================

00.07.24

  Look in the manual! (LPR filters are turned off by default.)
* Presets have been organized acording to genre.
* Rewinding a track in a multitracker no longer adds echos to
  the beginning of the track.
* All preamps now have a gain of maximum 48dB (compared to 32dB previously).


00.06.27

* CPU utilization optimizations. Everything is now 30-70% quicker!


00.06.05

* The input gain for all preamps now correlates differently to the apparent
  output volume. In other words, the apparent output volume is not changed 
  significantly when the input gain is changed. You should look
  over the presets and adjust the output volume on the preamp accordingly.
* Complete list of speakers is now: 1x8, 1x10, 1x12, 1x15, 1x18, 
  2x10, 2x12, 2x15, 4x10, 4x12, 8x10, 8x12

* A new echo / delay module added.
* A new reverb added.
* A new poweramp, poweramp 7 is added.
* The echo/delay modules now have a longer delay, 3000ms.
* The echo/delay modules now have a "tap" button.
* Each module can now be bypassed individually.
* The uninstallation program now does a more thorough job.
* For all of you out there with multiple soundcards,
  now you can choose which ones to use.
* Removal or replacement of Preamp4 no longer crashes.
* In ReValver Live, you can now record to disk.
* "Memory leaks" when using room simulation is now plugged.
* Doubleclicking on a knob, now brings up a slider.

00.05.21

* Opening too many ReValver windows at once in the same DirectX host 
  (For example Cakewalk or Acid) no longer crashes the system. 
* New accurate speaker modeling. Speaker modules now includes room ambience
  and configurations of 1x8, 1x10, 1x12, 2x10, 2x12, 4x12, 4x10
* In Cakewalk, permanently applying ReValver with (Edit -> Audio effects)
  now produces correct results. (Previously, if a 16 bit project was used
  in Cakewalk, the track may have been silenced or unprocessed.)
* ReValver no longer complain about "block size" in SoundForge.
* GUI changes: Introduction of the "Chain commander" module
  implies a shrinking of the GUI.
* Slight performance increase in ReValver Live. Significant stability
  in low latency modes using WDM drivers.
* Documentation also available in RTF format (readable in Wordpad).
* ACID issues resolved:
  - Transparent parts of ReValver no longer shows ACID workarea.
  - Saving preset in ACID no longer "hides the graphics".
* The "Choose module" window now clearly indicates that only one
  module at a time can be selected.
* Introduction of "legacy mode" recording & playback makes ReValver Live
  compatible with Win NT4.

00.05.12

* Incompatibility issue with Cakewalk identified.

* Preamp 8 is added.

00.03.23

  the input & output of your soundcard. Latency between 50-200ms ...
* ReValver no longer crashes if you insert a new module at the beginning.
* Dehiss knobs now comes in the correct order.


00.02.21

* WARNING. Your old presets CAN be used but in some cases they may
  sound differently. All settings for poweramp's are now being ignored.
* All modules are now ' virtual 19" rack modules '. This should make
  the transition from the "real world" a little bit easier...
* An auto Wah Wah has been included.
* ReValver can now be used with any samplerate. Filters where
  earlier aligned to 44100 Hz
* Host application with multi-track support no longer "hangs" when
  ReValver-enabled track ends before the end-of-song. (ReValver
  was sensitive to zero-volume input.) This also speeds up the
  multitracker whenever there is no sound on a track.
