• Titre du correctif: Manhattan v2.0 Beta 13 Libéré
• Date de sortie du correctif: Avril 7, 2024

The developer of Manhattan has released a new update for the game on April 7, 2024. Voici les nouveautés que vous devriez vous attendre à voir ou à modifier dans cette nouvelle mise à jour. Ces informations ont été extraites directement de l'annonce officielle sur Steam. 

Many thanks to feedback from users; I am pleased to present signiificant update, including basic sample import and a new probability feature, but also many performance and reliability improvements.
The highlights of this release are:

Basic sample import support

While you wait for the full custom samples and instruments editing features, which are under active development, je’ve added a basic mechanism to get custom samples into Manhattan. Pour ce faire, simply add your samples (par exemple. .wav) to the Manhattan project file using a .zip utility.
Manhattan’s file format is a .zip compatible archive, which contains all the information about your project (principally in the Module.xml file). To do add a sample, take a Manhattan project (.zm file), extract it to a folder, add the sample to that folder, and zip it back up. Alternativement, some utilities will allow you simply to open the archive and add files. To get your system to recognise .zm as a .zip file you can use the « Open with » fonctionnalité, or rename the extension.
This specific feature is designed to teach students about how files, dossiers, and zips work; the forthcoming instrument editing feature will include full GUI support for the process.

New dice() function for weighted randomness

This new function provides several ways to generate a random number by throwing a die with a given number of sides optionally with specific weights. The function can be used for any purpose, but is designed for indexing arrays (which start at index 0) and makes it easier to implement things like Markov chains. It will generate whole number beginning with 0 up to one less than the number of sides (par exemple. 6 sides = 0,1,2,3,4,5), as per the following examples:
dés(6) – generates a random number from 0 à 5, with even weightings.
dés(1,2,1) – generates a random number from 0 à 2, où 1 (la deuxième) is twice as likely.
dés(@array, .volume) – generate a random number by looking at the rows of @array, using the size of the array as the number of sides and its .volume column for their weights.

New code-based data interpolation using « à » operator

You can now easily dynamically interpolate between two values in your pattern using the « à » operator, specifying the range to be affected and then setting the start and end values:
[0 à 9].volume = 0 à 64 – interpolates from silence to full volume over the first nine rows.

Improved Windows 11 soutien

Fenêtres 11 seems to be more fussy about audio drivers than previous versions, causing some users to experience glitchy audio or none at all. This version includes several workarounds to hopefully ensure robust and smooth audio support – please let me know if you have problems, using the forum.

New Instrument menu with categories

The instrument menu is now sorted by category to aid searching, but also supporting new categories for user-defined samples (voir ci-dessus) and instruments (à venir).

Improved graphics and UI performance

This version includes some significant optimisations of the graphics code, which means Manhattan is more selective and economical with drawing the UI. Things may feel smoother, not least the Windows’ version’Écran Splash S, but fundamentally the lower CPU/GPU usage should translate to better battery life.
— oOo —
Please keep the feedback coming and support the project by reviewing Manhattan, liking the videos on YouTube, etc.. If this release is well-received, the next will be Release Candidate 1 – but working on custom instruments / samples and multiple patterns is also in the works!
