June 3, 2004 --- released Update version 1.0.5
Major improvements and bug fixes are as follows:
- Synthesis can be three times faster than in the previous version, depending on the song you play. Therefore the rendering time is greatly reduced.
- Play with Synthesis mode works more reliably. The song starts playing within a few seconds, while synthesis takes place in the background simultaneously. Please click Here to see tips for "Play with Synthesis".
- VOCALOID VST Instrument works properly.
- ReWire functionality works more reliably even if there are tempo changes in the song. It now supports 48kHz and 96kHz besides 44.1kHz as the sampling frequency.
- Most bugs we have found so far are resolved.
