pre-releaseone hour ago

New features

  • Added configurable reference-audio shortcuts in Preferences > Usability.
    • Assign a key to Mute, Solo or Mix, clear a binding with Backspace, or cancel a change with Escape.
    • Reset the shortcuts to their defaults: Num 1, Num 2 and Num 3.
  • Added an option to automatically adjust Sound Stopper ranges when editing layers, enabled by default.
    • Adding or removing layers updates the affected ranges.
    • Moving the layer containing a stopper shifts its range by the same amount, within the supported layer limits.
    • Range changes are included in undo and redo.
    • Removing the last target layer disables the stopper and displays "Off". Disabled stoppers have no effect during playback or Minecraft export.
    • Global Sound Stoppers are unaffected. The option can be changed in Preferences > Usability.
  • Enabled native macOS fullscreen through the green title-bar button. Moving the pointer to the top edge reveals the menu bar and window controls.

Bugfixes and improvements

  • Updated 15 bundled instrument samples to match their Minecraft counterparts, including all four trumpet sounds.
  • Fixed the autosave countdown being reset unnecessarily while Preferences is open.
  • Fixed the filename cursor jumping back to the start in Windows Save dialogs.
  • Fixed MIDI device note input only responding to channel 1. Note-on and note-off messages now work on all 16 channels.
  • Fixed notes played at the cursor when starting playback not being affected by Sound Stoppers targeting their layers.
  • Fixed timeline time labels and tick marks in songs with tempo changes, and improved label spacing around sudden tempo changes.
  • Fixed timing updates after undoing or redoing Tempo Changer edits and after removing the Tempo Changer instrument.
  • Fixed the song duration shown in MIDI Import when importing tempo changes, including the duration after removing leading silence.
  • Fixed incorrect macOS fullscreen scaling, especially when using a secondary display.

Note for Linux users

  • Please report issues you encounter with your specific distro.
  • Keep kdialog installed on KDE desktops or zenity on other desktops for dialogs and fallbacks. Some export functions also require 7zip.

macOS build

  • Requires macOS 12.0 or later.
  • Direct-download builds can check for updates in NBS and open the GitHub Releases page to download them.
  • The macOS build is also available through TestFlight.
  • To use your custom sound library in Quick Look, open NBS once after installing, then reopen the preview. Sharing the user sound library requires macOS 13 or later; macOS 12 previews use bundled sounds.
