VERSION 2.1 RELEASE NOTES

PURPOSE

v2.1 is a maintenance release for all versions of RiffWorks with updates and changes that improve device support, registration, graphics, plug-in support and RiffLink collaboration.

KNOWN ISSUES

• FIXED IN 2710 : Mac OS Line 6 Edition InstantDrummers - The 6 InstantDrummers downloaded from Line 6 will cause the app to exit when selected. We are working on a new 2.1 build that will fix the problem. The InstantDrummers downloaded from SWW are not affected.
• FIXED IN 2710 : ReWire with Live Lite 6 Line 6 Edition - Live Lite 6 Line 6 Edition (other editions unknown) has ReWire device functionality disabled. When Live fails to load as a ReWire device, other ReWire apps, like Reason, won't play properly in RiffWorks (loud buzz.)
• Select Record Path dialog on Windows appears stuck on the C: drive. There is a work around explained here.
• Delay settings in Backup Effects are not copied when copying a Riff.
• Filter Sequence Effect can drift (unintentional feature?:)
• RiffNotes and other text fields are still rudimentary in their handling of text.
• RiffLink is still Beta but stability is significantly improved.
• RiffCast during RiffLink is subject to problems when multiple players are logged into a session.
• Ends of layers can get cropped in RiffLink.
• Usernames in RiffLink Chat view are not always clickable, but they should be.
• RiffLink chat does not do line wrapping.
