SonicMood 4.9 - Plays smooth melodies while you work. (Shareware): "
SonicMood... Life stressing you out? Do you need to relax or block out that annoying babble from the next cubicle? Maybe you’re just having a hard time falling asleep? SonicMood creates a soothing background of melodic tones to lower your stress and help you relax. Each 'Mood' is a blend of polyphonic stereo instrumentals with pleasing harmonies combined with the sounds of nature. Moods have a mellowing effect, the gentle sounds lying just below your consciousness. SonicMood comes with 28 pre-defined Moods AND you can create your own! It's ambient music at its best!
There are 28 different sets of 'chimes' using different instruments, including bells, crystals, kalimbas, glockenspiels, violins, and many others. Audio files of nature sounds are added to each mood. You can create your own moods or edit the 28 existing moods. You won't find anything like this on a CD...
- Expanded the piano keyboard to five octaves and added base octave and a musical key controls, whose values are saved. The octave and musical key settings can be changed using the arrow keys, and sustain can be toggled using the Tab key. Also, sustain now works with the computer keyboard keys.
Changed the 'upgrade' criteria so it's based on incrementing the second version number digit, and not comparing the third digit. So if the user registered with v4.8.9 they would get free upgrades until v6.9.0 instead of v6.8.9.
Increased the volume for the instrument (MIDI) output.
Changed the icon for SonicMood to a shiny circle containing seagulls, notes, and sun over the sea.
Improved the look of the SonicMood toolbar icons and the mute/live (red/green) buttons above the Instrument and SoundFile volume sliders.
Adjusted the Tempo slider’s range to have more of an effect on the tempo.
Double-clicking on the “marquee†in the main window now toggles (opens or closes) the “Edit†window for the currently playing Mood.
Changed the 'Scene' icon on the SonicMood window to a static scene instead of a thumbnail to make its purpose clearer.
Updated control labels and 'Help Tag' text, capitalizing as appropriate.
Removed some text and replaced it with icons on the SonicMood window.
Replaced the 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons with their iconic equivalents on the 'Edit' window. Also replaced the 'Play Me' and 'Edit Mood Playing' buttons with shaded buttons.
Changed the default color scheme to 'iTunes' (was 'mellow yellow').
Re-wrote the code for 'note selection', especially the 'pattern' selection code, but including the other selection methods ('uniform', 'Gaussian', and 'incremental').
Tweaked the default Mood settings for all 28 standard Moods. Not big changes, but took advantage of some of the newer features. The default Moods should sound slightly more interesting.
Changed the behavior when the 'delete' or 'backspace' key is pressed so a Mood is only removed from the current Theme (not deleted), if the Theme isn't the 'All Moods' Theme.
Fixed a 'Nil Object' bug in the automatic 'save changes' routine.
Fixed the Theme bug where the # of Moods shows up in column 0 if a Mood is deleted, wiping out the Theme names.
Fixed a crash that occurred if the note pattern is '0'.
Fixed a small bug that caused the 'Edit' window instrument pan slider's 'thumb' to be slightly off near zero.
Fixed the slider control's 'Thumb' vertical position for Tiger.
Fixed a bug in the Edit window's instrument volume Mute buttons that caused them to sometimes not toggle their display state when pressed.
Fixed a small bug that kept the Instruments in the list on the 'piano keyboard' from changing if the Mood was changed or an Instrument was changed for a Mood, and the 'Current Mood' radio button was selected.
Fixed a bug that causes a Keyboard key to continuously repeat if sustain is on and the key is held.
Fixed other lingering piano keyboard issues.
Fixed a small bug that failed to properly update the 'Instrument mute' button when option-y was pressed to toggle it.
