Today as of July, 29th 2015 Microsoft launches Windows 10. The bug in Windows 10 which blocks playing audio sounds and which we have reported on Dec, 2nd 2014 has not been corrected in the latest Windows 10 preview version from 3 days ago. From a Notation Software perspective we do not recommend to switch to Windows 10 NOW.
Our alternative solution of an integrated "Notation Software Synth" has made tremendous progress in the last weeks and we are very optimistic to release it in the next few weeks, ultimately by end of October 2015 as part of version 3 (the actual release will be version 3.0.3).
Version 3.0.3 will contain the following features:
- Windows 10 compatibility
- Notation Software Synth
- ASIO realtime driver integrated for Musician and Composer
- Standard soundfont package for Musician and Composer
- Flexible loading of additional soundfonts sets (.sf2 file format) by Composer
- Export of audio Wave files by Composer
Beta versions of Musician and Composer 3.0.3 are in tests and we work hard to get it ready.
Our plans are also to release a Player based on version 3.0.3 in English and Spanish language. However, these plans are second priority.
We will inform everybody with an email when 3.0.3 will be available.
