• VirtualLX is stable in OS X 10.5 (Leopard). (4814)
• The Transport window has a new display option: Enable Transport Controls. When disabled, the transport controls and active cue list are visible, but unresponsive. (4738)
• Time code is now resynchronized immediately after a time code stop is detected. (4872)
• A received time code value is only processed if all quarter-frame messages are received in the correct (sequential) order. This reduces processing of incorrect time code values. (4863)
• The Wild Tracks process no longer receives sysex messages that do not relate to Wild Tracks control points. (4897)
• Wild Tracks now contains an updated version of libsndfile, which has improved support for WAV files. (4796)
• When Wild Tracks playback is locked to time code, the playback will only be resynchronized if at least three time code values in a row have more than a two second difference from the expected value. (4837)
• The Wild Tracks window now responds to page group controls. Each Unit is a column, and each Deck is a row. (4877)
• The "random" function in a batch file will now clear its audio buffers before playback is restarted. (4761)
• The "Resynchronizing time code playback" log message now includes the current time code value. (4865)
• A sysex parse error which generates the "While waiting for Status, got 0x22" log message will also generate log messages with the most recent bytes received. (4860)
• Firmware mismatch warnings now use one log entry each, instead of three. (4847)
• Right-clicking on a log entry will no longer move the entry to a new position in the list. (4754)
• Dragging an audio file into the Subcue Library no longer generates error messages in the log. (4827)

• Duplicating a SpaceMap no longer results in SpaceMap #0 being renamed. (4779)
• SpaceMap creation and duplication is now enabled after clearing a project. (4746)
• In Linux clients, the System Status window no longer uses all available CPU. (4810)
• Automation items that are part of a cue that changes the cue list are not cleared from the scheduler. (4787)

• The MSC "Go Cue" external now has a Cue List Player ID. (4757)

Version Release 4.6.0 - October 2, 2007 - Code Date: September 18, 2007

Notable Changes:

Automation

• Cues and subcues now have a "Modification Time" associated with them, which shows the last time the cue or subcue was edited. (4167)
• CueStation now supports multiple active cue lists in the Transport window, including separate transport controls for each active cue list. (2727)
• Each cue list player in the Transport window has a separate "Time Code" button to enable or disable time code processing. The Mixer menu now has a "Time Code Processing Enabled" item which controls time code processing globally. (3985)
• In consideration of projects with multiple active cue lists, the behavior of the "Stop" button in the Transport window has changed. The "Stop" button in each cue list player only stops automation initiated by its associated cue list, including Wild Tracks Decks. There is also a "Master Stop" button which stops all automation, regardless of origin. (3953)
• Subcue types and control point sets can now be disabled or enabled. Disabled subcue types will not appear in the subcue selection list in the Capture window. (3954)
• Subcues recalled by Digital Logic Inputs or MIDI are now reported in the log. (4316)
• The "Set Selected Subcue Types" external has been modified to allow more refined control over the Capture window. (4086)
• The Capture window now has a "Share Existing Subcues" button, which determines whether pre-existing subcues will be used in the cue, or new subcues will be created. (4538)
• The Edit menu has two new items: "Individualize Shared Subcues", which makes every subcue referenced by a cue unique, and "Optimize Duplicate Subcues", which removes identical copies of referenced subcues, such that cues that referenced different copies of the same subcue would then share references to the same subcue. (328)
• The Matrix3 can now send and receive MSC messages. (2612)
• There are two new control points which reflect the state of the hardware Relays and DLIs: Frame LowLevel Output and Frame LowLevel Input, respectively. (4445)
• When creating new cues or subcues, CueStation will no longer re-use ID numbers used by deleted cues or subcues. This makes it easier to find newly created items when sorting by ID, and reduces the chance of unexpected behavior for ID references in externals or Wild Tracks Decks. ID recycling will only be used after ID 16383. (3931)
• In some cases, some DSPs in a multi-processor system would get out of sync with other DSPs. This has been fixed. (4467)
• In some rare cases, adding a Mixer Settings subcue to a cue would affect the most recently captured Wild Tracks subcue. This has been fixed. (4236)
• Subcue type names can now include ampersands. (4074)
• The "Refs" value for cues and subcues now includes references in Wild Tracks Deck subcues. (4095)
• The "Select Cue List" external can now accept cue list IDs up to 16383, instead of being limited to 256. (3987)
• The infinite-loop detector for subcue recalls has been improved. (4480)
• The Transport cue-on-deck display now updates the cue name when the cue name has been edited. (4694)

Interface and Layout

• Clicking on the Log window will now cause the log icons to stop flashing. (4171)
• Comment fields are now included in the Project Report. (3868)
• Commonly used buttons and other controls can now be accessed using Alt key combinations. (4127, 4093)
• CueStation is now constructed using the Qt 4 graphical interface library, with updated GUI enhancements. (3782)
• CueStation now has a light-on-dark display mode, to minimize light glare from monitors in dark theaters. The "Use Dark Color Scheme" option is located in the Layout menu. (3549)
• CueStation windows are now faster due to optimized internal processes. (3897)
• CueStation windows can now be expanded to full-screen mode. (4361)
• CueStation windows now have a lighter background color, to create more visual contrast with window controls. (4128)
• Currently, when there are more than 1000 control points in a subcue, the "Expanded" mode still shows a compressed view to increase performance. To override this setting, you can now re-select "Expanded", to see an "Are you sure?" dialog box, with an option to see the fully expanded list. (4202)
• In Mac OS X, CueStation windows now show a black dot inside the red Close Window button whenever there are unsaved changes to the project. (3861)
• In some CueStation windows, the window sections can now be re-arranged by right-clicking on the blue divider bar. (4168)
• In the Chat window, the list of connected users is now on the right of the chat log, instead of at the top of the window. (4187)

• The About box now shows the code repository version number. (4091)
• The background colors of the Active Cue and Cue-On-Deck fields now match the highlight colors of the cue list pointers. (4413)
• The Cue List window now has drop-down menus for accessing and editing cue lists, similar to the cue list selection menu in the Transport window. (4082)
• The Custom Utility buttons now include an "On Release" option in addition to the "On Click" field. (3878)
• The default width of the ID column has been extended from 3 digits to 5. (4169)
• The Display menu for the Capture window now has options for sorting the cues listed in the drop-down menu. (4107).

• The Page-group view has been added to the Wild Tracks, SpaceMap, and Transport windows. (3952)
• The Script Execution window has several changes. There is now a Status column to the left of each row, which displays "Running" or "Idle" to indicate the status of a script. The "Restart" button has been removed, and the Play button is now identical to the Play button in the Wild Tracks window. (3884)
• The selection of visible columns in all list windows can now be toggled by right-clicking on the column header row, and selecting from a drop-down menu. Previously, this was only accessible through the Display menu. (3951)
• The threshold level for log icon flashing can now be set as a user preference by right-clicking on the log icon. (4189)
• The time code display in the Cue List window has moved to the top-right corner, for better visibility. (4185)
• The window subscription system has been optimized to increase performance. (3816)
• The zoom settings in the Wild Tracks and SpaceMap windows are now saved with the window layout settings. (3983)
• There is now an installation program for installing CueStation on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. An uninstaller program is also included. (3927)
• Using the Command key to affect multiple channels now only applies to selected channels. (3935)
• When hovering over a bus assign button, the tooltip will display that bus's label. (4522)
• When hovering the mouse pointer over a channel label, a tooltip will be displayed, showing the processor ID, slot, and physical channel number. (3960)
• Windows can now be reverted to their original default state, using the "Reset Window" option in the Layout menu. (4119)
• You can now drag a cue or subcue directly into a Wild Tracks Deck to automatically create a new Recall Cue or Recall Subcue entry. (4059)

• Active Wild Tracks Channel Assignments in the Transport window are now light blue instead of green, so that the assignments are more visible in an active cue. (4428)
• CueStation now tracks the version of its template folder, and an error message will appear in the log when the folder is missing or out of date. (4244)
• CueStation Project Titles now support German and French characters. (4023)
• Fixed a condition in Windows XP which prevented Function keys from scrolling a window. (4470)
• In external commands, you can now type the port name in addition to selecting it from the right-click menu. (4642)
• In Mac OS X, the hotkeys for quickly selecting recently accessed files in the open/save dialog boxes have changed. The hotkeys are now Control-1 through Control-5, instead of Cmd-1 through Cmd-5. (4060)
• In some cases, when using F2 to open the Capture window in Capture Differences mode, the window would not show the most recently recalled cue. This has been fixed. (4237)
• In the Mac OS X version of CueStation, opening a layout file that contains minimized windows would sometimes result in one of the windows restoring itself. This has been fixed. (4365)
• Index values for locked subcue types can now be displayed without unlocking the subcue type. (4459)
• Parameters in externals are now grayed out when disabled. (4380)
• Pressing the "Return" key after editing a control point value will leave the keyboard focus at the current value, instead of moving to the next value. (4495)
• Previously, for the list of Control Point Sets in the Subcue Types tab of the Capture window, the scroll bar was locked when the subcue type was locked. This has been fixed. (4046)
• Previously, in Mac OS X, if you opened several CueStation windows before CueStation had finished connecting to a server, the most recently opened windows would not be connected. This has been fixed. (4448)
• Right-dragging a control point into a cue to create a Mixer Settings subcue will no longer replace any pre-existing Mixer Settings subcues. (4279)
• Sometimes the pop-up menu for selecting bus assigns would appear partially off the screen. This has been fixed. (4108)
• Sometimes when a CueStation window (or part of a window) gained focus, the list part of the window would instantly scroll to the top or start of the list. This has been corrected. (4233)
• Sometimes, the checkboxes in the Windows menu would not accurately reflect which CueStation windows were currently open. This has been fixed. (4364)
• The automatically-generated project title is no longer truncated after the first period in the saved project filename. (4073)
• The behavior of the Signal Path windows has been improved to prevent display conflicts. (3988)
• The columns Specify Servers window can now be sorted by clicking on the column titles. (4394)
• The Comment field in the Capture window no longer retains its text for the next cue captured. (4105)
• The CueStation client for Windows XP has been fixed to allow non-Unicode characters in the path to the CueStation executable. (3838)
• The Display menu for the Capture window is now more descriptive. Instead of listing "Inputs", "Outputs", etc., it now lists "Show Inputs Category", "Show Outputs Category", etc. (4123)
• The Generate Report function can now save reports to directories with Japanese characters in the directory path. (3926)
• The Mixer Configuration window is now more efficient. (4356)
• The Mixer Configuration window now maximizes properly, without display issues. (2827)
• When adjusting the number of channels visible in a mixer window, the window will no longer extend off the screen.(4048)
• When using "Set Selected Subcue Types" in the Linux CueStation client, the external now correctly affects a Capture window on a different virtual desktop. (4904)
• When using F4 to open the Capture window, the typing focus is now always in the Cue Name text box. (4104)
• Enabling or disabling an External in a subcue now updates the display of that external immediately. (4673)
• Navigating through a list of External entries with the arrow keys no longer causes list display issues. (4682)

• Track-from-Top now recognizes disabled control points. (4733)
• CueStation no longer crashes when copying a Wild Tracks entry that has 'Loops' set to (Infinite). (4661)

Wild Tracks

• Envelope points have been made larger and more distinct. (3990)
• If a Recall Cue or Recall Subcue entry is added to a Wild Tracks Deck, the cue or subcue name will appear in the timeline view along with the ID number. (3917)
• In a Wild Tracks batch file, you can now specify a "source=silence" generator. (4501)
• In the deck timeline view, when you select a track and use the up or down arrow keys, the display will auto-scroll to show the track currently selected. (4528)
• Recalling decks with many tracks is now faster. (4559)
• SafetyNet is now more reliable. (3911)
• The Drive Setup dialog now has a "Repair Drive" operation, which will try to repair a Wild Tracks hard drive that has become corrupted. (3849)
• The file length and track count detection in Wild Tracks is now more reliable. (3867)
• The Wild Tracks Deck Key field no longer allows certain symbols in the key name (including [ ] * ? \ , | ( ) = ^ + $ { } : -), since such symbols are traditionally used for regular-expression matching purposes. (4510)
• The Wild Tracks Deck Position field in the Wild Tracks window now uses a fixed-width font to reduce digit "jitter". (4521)
• The Wild Tracks playback engine is now more efficient at handling interleaved audio files. (3805)
• To help prevent audio dropouts in Wild Tracks, warning messages will be printed to the log when more than 24 tracks are playing. If there are more than 28 tracks playing, the most recently started deck(s) will be stopped, and critical error messages will be printed to the log. (3042)
• When a deck is locked to time code, the timeline of the deck will start with the initial time code value instead of 00:00:00:00.00. (4010)
• When converting envelope points on looped tracks to "Simple" type envelopes, the looped points are no longer removed. (4227)
• When creating a batch file for Wild Tracks, you can now specify "source=sine" instead of "source=tone type=sine". (4503)
• When specifying a file name in a batch file, you can now add a "gain" keyword, such as "file1.wav gain=10". (4502)
• When using a .lcsDisk file offline, it is now possible to see the contents of the virtual drive, and drag and drop files into the Wild Tracks window to create Wild Tracks Deck subcues. (3854)
• Wild Tracks can now display properties of an audio file, including file type and sample rate. (3619)
• Wild Tracks Deck subcues now have an "On Complete" option, which specifies an action to take when the cursor reaches the end of the deck. The options are Stop (the default), Pause, Clear Deck, Disable Deck, and Continue. (4011)
• Wild Tracks Decks now have a "Record from Top" option for the 'On Recall' action, similar to "Play from Top" but with file recording enabled. (4424)
• Wild Tracks metering is now more efficient. (4276)
• Wild Tracks now provides additional support for BWF audio files. When a BWF file is added to a Wild Tracks Deck, or Deck subcue, the file will automatically be placed at the appropriate place on the timeline, as specified by the timing information in the file header. (3632)
• Wild Tracks volume envelopes now match the standard fader taper, in terms of dB per millimeter. (4354)
• Wild Tracks' audio buffering functions have been optimized to reduce memory usage. (4569)
• "Simple" (non-looping) envelope points can no longer be dragged past the end of the track region. (4222)
• Copying and pasting Wild Tracks entries will no longer affect Deck parameters. (4254)
• Corrected an issue in Wild Tracks envelopes which sometimes resulted in amplitude oscillation. (4106)
• Fixed an error condition in code that uses shared memory. This may also prevent Out of Memory errors in Wild Tracks. (4525)
• In the timeline view, it was previously possible to click anywhere in a track's horizontal range to move the track. Since this made it too easy to accidentally move a track when selecting it, the behavior has changed so that the track will only move when the user has clicked on the actual track region. (4309)
• In the Wild Tracks deck timeline view, if a file is both overlapping on a channel and an invalid file, it will be shown in red instead of yellow. (4526)
• Previously, some editing functions such as copy, paste, etc. were unavailable when the Deck Graphics area had focus. This has been corrected. (4038)
• Sometimes, when zooming in or out on the deck timeline, the timeline scroll bars would disappear. This has been fixed. (4444)
• The new "Reset Deck" option in the On Complete menu clears all files from the deck, and resets all deck parameters to default, including the deck key. (4377)
• The Play Now and Record Now options have been removed from the On Recall menu. Projects from previous versions of CueStation will be automatically updated when opened in 4.6. (4400)
• Using the left and right arrow keys in the deck timeline view will no longer change the track selection. (4527)
• The samba read/write process now runs at a lower priority, to minimize CPU usage on the LX-ELC module. (4519)
• When dragging an envelope point to the left-most edge of a track, sometimes the envelope point would end up a few samples away from zero, causing the first samples to be played at unity. This was due to a rounding error, and has been fixed. (4238)
• Wild Tracks can now load files whose names contain special characters. (3841)
• Wild Tracks meters now show clip indicators when appropriate. (3654)
• Changing the Wild Tracks File Path now affects Decks that had already been loaded. (4685)

• Both SpaceMaps (A and B) can now be displayed side-by-side. (4146)
• Currently, when a trajectory node is selected, the duration is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the window. Now, when recording a trajectory, the time changes to "stopwatch" mode, which makes it easier to time the placement of new nodes. (3994)
• Derived nodes can no longer be a part of a triset. (3982)
• Duplicating a SpaceMap node no longer appends a number to the end of the node name. (4007)
• Each bus in the SpaceMap window now has trajectory transport buttons for Play, Pause, Stop, and Record. (3735)
• In the SpaceMap window, each bus can also show its corresponding matrix row. This makes it easier to audition trajectories, and make sure there are no dropouts between trisets. (3875)
• In the SpaceMap window, the Space bar and Return key can be used to Play/Pause Trajectory and Stop Trajectory, respectively. (3734)
• In the Trajectory editor, there is a menu to select among different editing modes, to edit only timing, only values, or both. (4435)
• Locked trajectories are now visually distinct from unlocked trajectories. (4422)
• The "Set Attenuation" function for a SpaceMap node has been renamed to "Set Trim". (3334)
• The Display menu in the SpaceMap window now has a "Show Mouse Coordinates" option. (4069)
• The SpaceMap window has been redesigned to show the user exactly what will be captured into a SpaceMap subcue. Each bus now has its own SpaceMap display, which shows the active SpaceMap and trajectory used by that bus. (3860)
• The SpaceMap window now has a snap-to-grid option, which affects nodes and trajectories. The size of the grid can also be adjusted. (3857)
• The SpaceMap window now has a Trajectory Editor. This allows graphical editing of a trajectory's level, pan and divergence control points. (327)
• The SpaceMap window now has two different grid options: Polar (radial) and Cartesian (square). (3915)
• The Trajectory Enabled control point has changed to Trajectory Hold, to be more consistent with the trajectory transport controls. (3876)
• When recording a trajectory by clicking and dragging, trajectory points are now added at a rate of 10 per second. (4243)
• While recording a new trajectory, a red "preview" line will extend from the most recently added node to the mouse pointer, to show where the next node would be placed. (3986)

CueConsole

• "UDP packet dropped" error messages are now stored internally instead of being printed to the log. A "Log Module Error Counts" external can be used to print these messages to the log. (4045)
• CueConsole and OSC mapping externals no longer have a "Remove Last Mapping" button; instead, each mapping has its own "Remove" button. (4181)
• The CueConsole externals for mapping controls to cues now include graphical representations of the modules, which makes it easier and faster to select the exact button you wish to use. (4030)
• The Fader module mapping subcue now allows the user to specify whether the LCD button behavior should be Mute/Unmute or Channel On/Off, with Channel On/Off being the default choice. (3787)
• The feel of the EQ frequency knobs has been improved to allow finer control over EQ settings. (4137)
• The Map Transporter external now includes an option to display or hide the Cue Index. (3941)
• Holding a fader on a CueConsole module will no longer prevent aux sends subcues from affecting the channel. (4493)
• Initiating Track from Top on the Transporter module would not work unless a cue had already been recalled. This has been fixed. (4194)
• The Delay fader on the RIF-108 was previously able to set the Delay control to a value outside the configured range. This has been disabled. (4116)
• The menu encoder knob on CueConsole modules now requires two clicks for each step. (4180)
• Virtual CueConsole modules now use the official CueConsole network port number, 12304, instead of its own. (4193)
• Mute buttons mapped to Channel Enable are now updated properly when paging. (4674)

Mixer

• All channel labels are now wider to display more characters. (3450)
• All inputs and outputs now have a maximum of 10 bands of EQ per channel, increased from 8. (3845)
• Each band of EQ can now have a label associated with it, separate from the channel label. Three new subcue types have been added to support this feature: Input EQ Labels, Output EQ Labels, and Aux Labels. (3962)
• In some cases, CueStation windows would display "No Configuration" after a server restart. This has been fixed. (4440)
• The "Silence" command in the Mixer menu will now use the System Mute instead of moving the System Trim to -inf dB. (3984)
• The +48v buttons in the Inputs window now have a global Lock button, which needs to be unlocked before phantom power can be toggled on or off. (4210)
• The Aux Meters window now also shows meters for PFL, AFL, and PAFL outputs. (3243)
• The Project Report now includes signal processing delays information. (2944)
• The System Level window now includes a master Solo-In-Place button. If there is a Solo-In-Place active on any channel, the master Solo-In-Place button will turn bright green. Clicking the master button will clear all instances of Solo-In-Place. (4066)
• Users can now import CSV data into the Processing windows to create a background EQ trace. (4191)
• Clicking in the empty space above a fader track will no longer result in the fader moving to +10 dB. (4328)
• External control of input or output delay (using OSC, for instance) could result in the delay being set to a value outside the configured range. (4116)
• Performing a Track-from-top operation no longer generates "Sysex full" error messages when processing large Wild Tracks Deck subcues. (4240)
• The "Corrupt audio detected" log messages now indicate the channel(s) where the corrupt audio was detected. Those channels are then muted. (3524)
• The "Generate Report" in the Mixer Configuration window's Configuration menu has been renamed to "Generate Mixer Config Report", to emphasize that it is not the same as the "Generate Report" function in the Project menu. (4083)
• There was a metering error where clipping on an input meter would also trigger a clip indicator on the corresponding output channel. This has been fixed. (3802)
• Tooltip text for items in the System Status window have been corrected. (3744)
• When a Meters window is resized, the change in label text size is performed concurrently across all channel labels, instead of individually. (4087)
• Clearing a project no longer clears the matrix as well. (4701)
• Flipping Input faders to an Aux row no longer removes the option to flip to Trims. (4679)
• The Aux pre/post state is now copied as part of a copy-channel operation. (4670)

Hardware and Configuration

• Serial ports can now be disabled and enabled using an External. (4144)
• The Mixer Configuration window now has Frame Templates, accessible through the Configuration menu, for the most common configurations. (4255)
• There are now two ways to Renumber All Channels in the Mixer Configuration window: by Frame, or by Type, which keeps similar types of channels (Inputs, Wild Tracks, etc.) grouped together. (4192)
• Two new Externals have been added, which provide port monitoring functions for the MIDI, RS232, and RS422 ports on the LX-COS CommSync module. (2371)
• Corrected a condition where the LX-300 Auto Start with no ELC would fail. (4027)

• The "Trigger Cue via MIDI" and "Trigger Transport Action via MIDI" externals now allow you to specify which port is expected to receive the MIDI sysex. (4378)
• Lemurs used with 4.6.0 must have Lemur 1.6.3 firmware installed. (4533)
• The state of mapped controls on the Lemur are now updated after the server sends the project file. (4541)
• The Unmap option in the Map OSC Commands external subcue now affects control point-to-control point mappings as well. (4216)

Network and Servers

• From a command line interface, you can now specify a list of allowed client IPs that can connect to VirtualLX or lxelcd. (4391)
• The VirtualLX executable can be renamed to include the IP address of a Matrix3, to which VirtualLX will automatically connect when it is launched. (4389)
• VirtualLX now has a "private" mode enabled by default, which only allows connections from a CueStation client running on the same computer (127.0.0.1). (3365)
