Changes since 46.3:
DIN Is Noise 47 @ Chennai, India
+ Menu > Drone Params now split into 3 tabs:
+ Modulation:
+ has controls to edit drone modulation parameters like AM/FM depth, BPM
+ Visual:
+ has controls to edit drone trail length, handle size,
connection stiffness (see below), colors (see below) etc
+ Motion:
+ controls to edit drone parameters like velocity, acceleration,
drones per minute, lifetime etc
+ On the mouse slider
+ when you can slide both horizontally and vertically:
+ press SHIFT to slide just vertically
+ press CTRL to slide just horizontally
/* connect and disconnect drones
+ Workflow:
+ select a bunch of drones (eg., Menu > Drone Tools > Select all drones)
+ Menu > Drone Tools > Connect
+ DIN connects drones in selection order
+ points one drone to next
+ last drone points in the direction second last drone points
+ To select drones in desired order, select drones one at a time by
click+moving a box around a drone and use SHIFT / CTRL keys while
selecting to add to existing selection or remove a drone from selection
+ Steps @ 1 connects drones successively, this is default
Steps @ 2 connects alternate drones
Steps @ 1 2 does both
try other steps sequences:
eg., 1 3 5 OR 1 2 4 etc
!note! separate steps with SPACE not comma
+ Just select a drone and move (Menu > Drone Tools > Move) and all the
connected drones move to keep their original distance on connection.
'But then one lizard (or iguana) moved, and all moved'
- VS Naipaul, Among the Believers
+ Use Connection Stiffness parameter to control the 'elasticity' of
the connections (Menu > Drone Params > Visual)
+ This is a global parameter, affects all connections among all drones
+ Menu > Drone Tools > Disconnect to disconnect the connected drones
+ Select a drone in the middle of a chain and disconnect splits the chain in two
+ Select the 'head' drones of two different chains and connect to merge the two
chains into one
/* new curve & curve editor to sculpt amplitude (aka depth) & bpm of
drone pendulum's drones
+ access using Menu > Editors > Drone Pendulum
+ edit curves even after creating drone pendulums!
+ affects drone pendulums selected drones belong to
+ use Menu > Overlay Instrument on the editor to see the effects of the
edits while making them.
/* new color sliders to set the color of selected drones
+ 2 sets of 3 sliders (1 for Red, Green and Blue).
+ Top set called Top
+ Bottom set called Bottom
+ Select some drones and
+ change color to Top to set color of all selected drones to the RGB of Top sliders
+ change color to Bottom to set color of all selected drones to RGB of Bottom sliders
+ change color to Blend to set color of all selected drones to RGB blended from Top to Bottom sliders
+ first selected drone color is from the Top sliders
+ last selected drone is from the Bottom sliders
+ other drones take inbetween colors
+ To select drones in desired order, select drones one at a time by click+moving a box
around a drone and use SHIFT / CTRL keys while selecting to add or remove drone to an
existing selection
+ change color to Random to set random colors on all selected drones
+ not truly random but a random color between RGB of Top and Bottom sliders
+ useful as colors are random but still from a certain part of the spectrum
+ If drones are noise, their color is grayscale, derived from just the Red channel of Top
and/or/both Bottom sliders, based on the chosen scheme.
+ If you edit a color slider, DIN hides the menu so you can see the edits better, hit ESC or click on Close
to finish/abort
/* abort octave shift
+ useful to take the key note away from 'piano notes' into 'weird' pitches yet still have 'scales' based on
this new key 'note'.
+ without Abort this was still possible by editing the octave shift curve
(Menu > Editors > Octave Shift)
+ to set the key back to a note, goto Settings screen and use the Key spinner
+ click Menu > Misc > Abort on Microtonal-Keyboard, Mondrian and Binaural Drones instruments
+ or press SHIFT + ESC
+ click Abort button on Keyboard-Keyboard
+ or press n
/* edit arrow width, depth for each drone
+ until DIN46, this was global
+ very useful for snake/centepede like visualisations of connected drones
* scale drones
* press CTRL to scale along horizontal
* press SHIFT to scale along vertical
+ moved Scale, Rotate drones to join Move in Menu > Drone Tools
+ SHIFT + e to scale selected drones
+ CTRL + e to rotate selected drones
+ press ` to flip between current instrument and last used curve editor
+ detach Spinners from Menu when using the < and > buttons to decrease/increase values
* Optimised GUI controls
* field, spinner etc
\0/ fixed crash when browsing waveforms on keyboard-keyboard
\0/ fixed search field in countries
\0/ fixed value field in number for bits of char
A handful of ports implicitetly dependet on kinit through some other port,
which in turn itself shouldn't have. In r535466 this was removed, and the
dependency on kinit now needs to be made explicit.

Changes since 46.2:
DIN Is Noise 46.3 @ Chennai, India
! fixed crash when browsing waveforms from keyboard-keyboard !
!
workaround for 46.2 users is to just get into waveform editor
by pressing 2 or from Menu > Editors > Waveform and then come
back to the keyboard-keyboard by pressing ESC or Menu > Instrument
> Keyboard-keyboard
!
! fixed curve name editing !

GitLab unlike GitHub keeps the footer from git-format-patch(1) which
frequently changes on Git version upgrades. So, switch to git-diff(1)
which lacks header/footer.

Some changes have been made in this release that break backwards
compatibility. Let USES=gmake force users to upgrade to this version so
port maintainers don't have to support older versions.
