SunVox is a small and fast multi-platform pattern based sequencer (tracker) with modular synthesizers. With this program you can compose music anywhere. On any device.

What’s New in Version 1.7.2

* now XM and MOD files (formats of old trackers) can be loaded without the converter, through the Main Menu -> Load Song; you can find hundreds of these files on this site: modarchive.org;
* extended list of effects for XM/MOD to SunVox conversion;
* new std. pattern effect 30 – use it to stop playing the song;
* new controller in the Reverb module – “All-pass filter”; use it to enable/disable output all-pass filter;
* new controller in the Reverb module – “Room size”;
* added autorepeat mode for the following buttons: HLD (clear current note), OFF (insert Note OFF), INS (insert), BCK (backspace);
* added eight layers for the modules; for example you can place some complicated drum chain on the first layer, and all other synths – on the second layer; layers can be visible together or separately;
* new function “Scale” in the Module menu: use it if you want a smaller or bigger module size for the current project;
* changing the size of the modules by mouse wheel (scroll wheel);

* new options in the Preferences->Recording: Pattern fit to grid, Note quantization, Controller quantization;
* new option in the Preferences->MIDI: Ignore velocity;
* empty parameter of the vibrato effect 04 is now treated as “use previous parameter value”; works only for songs created in SunVox 1.7.2 and higher;

* velocity map in the MultiSynth module;
* improved CPU Usage Monitor with scrolling and module selection;
* maximum number of pattern tracks has been increased from 8 to 16;
* maximum Echo delay length increased to 4 seconds;

* new simple examples: MIDI_out, waveshaper, velocity_map, reverb2, reverb3;
* new instrument in instruments/bass directory: analog_bass;
* new instrument in instruments/pads directory: synth_violin;
