Gig Performer Pro v5.2.2 Release Notes

NOTE TO GP SCRIPT USERS

  • Customers using GPScript together with OSC may need to make a slight change to their scripts to address a small breaking change before they can start using the new version with their existing gig files.

If you are using GPScript to create or receive OSC messages, make sure those addresses are always enclosed in double quotes.
For example, if you have a GP Script statement

SendOSCMessage { /a/b/c 42 }

then you must surround that OSC address in quotes:

SendOSCMessage { "/a/b/c" 42 }

You can make and test these changes in your current GP Scripts now so that no changes will be required after the update. Alternatively, if you install the new version and open your gig file, the GP Script compiler will complain if it finds OSC addresses that are not quoted so you can fix them.

UPDATES

  • Song part actions can now switch to a different song or song part, giving you more control over the flow of your setlist.
  • If Gig Performer receives a message telling it to switch to the song part that is already active, that song part’s actions will no longer retrigger.
  • Hold Ctrl while navigating to a song part to bypass its attached actions. This is useful when you want to check a sound or adjust a level without triggering actions on that part. Actions from other sources are not affected.
  • Hold Shift to stop all pending actions, very useful if you accidentally create action in a songpart that causes the part to switch to another part (for example) thereby preventing you from selecting and editing that songpart.
  • Hold Shift while double-clicking on a Song Part to open the Action management window as well as the Song Part properties.
  • Touch support has been further refined.
  • Copy your current setlist to the clipboard in CSV format for archiving, sharing, or working with it in external tools.
  • Hide the display of Program Change and Bank numbers in songs and rackspaces when that information is not essential to your performance.
  • If you use the [variation] tag in a widget caption, it now updates automatically when you switch variations, keeping your panel display in sync.

FIXES

  • VST3 plugin widgets that were not updating correctly will now respond as expected.
  • GPScript generators that were not being removed on recompile have been fixed.
  • FabFilter plugins no longer cause a crash in Gig Performer.
  • Locating an audio file originally defined in a Windows gig file now works correctly on Mac.

GP SCRIPT

  • New GPScript functions let you specify the Program Change number for a song part and variation.
  • The GetCharAtIndex function now works correctly

GP SDK

  • Extension developers can now store local and global state.
