New features:

• Much improved support for screen readers like JAWS from Freedom Scientific and the free NVDA.
• Replaced some of Delphi's native StringGrids with Microsoft's ListViews and a number of Delphi's native SpeedButtons with normal buttons for better screen reader support.
• You can now define a Default Scale Tuning (when no Arrangement is found).
• New Mixer, with two alternatives Standard - similar to as before and Extended (available to registered users only) with four parameters available.
• Press Ctrl+H to see a large number of new (and old) keyboard shortcuts. (This list is in the file "ShortKeys.txt").

Bug fixes:

• A SoundFont Override was not correctly defined when preset was different from default.
• SynthFont did not send Program Changed message to a MIDI out port.
• SynthFont did not automatically save VST Effects program changes when saving the Arrangement.
• Moving VST effects up/down while playing didn't work correctly.
• Plus a multitude of minor issues ... to many to list here.

These original version 1.420 features are now available:

• Bank change to a User Bank in live mode and the Bank Manager setting only "Either fine or coarse" selection (required for live mode).
• New Playback volume levels display.
• More buffers for playing live without ASIO.
• The Volume Offset in SoundFont Overrides is now connected to each Preset and not to the track (which is necessary for tracks with more than one MIDI Program/Preset changes).

SynthFont is a free/donationware tool for playing/rendering MIDI files using SoundFonts and other similar sound sources (WAV, DLS, GIGA and also VST Instruments).
