HPLF Report History

I would like to see a global Hz setting for HPLF so I can 'change keys' with the loaded scales.

OK, I'll add that. Up to now all scale editing has been assumed to be done in CSE or TPXE, but this feature is simple enough to have in HPLF.

BugMar.2011Mac

When the sustain pedal is down, keys that I am holding down can get cut off by playing new keys.

Confirmed.

BugMar.2011Mac

Sometimes at startup the visual indication of MIDI signal is there but there is no sound output. Restarting seems to solve the problem.

Confirmed. The Audio <-> MIDI connection sometimes is not connecting on startup.

RequestMar.2011Mac

Could you add a split keyboard function?

Maybe, in the next release.

in review

BugMar.2011Mac

When I lift the sustain pedal, it cuts off notes I am still holding down.

Confirmed.

Fixed 2.0.3

BugFeb.2011Mac

There is no sound, either from clicking on floating keyboard or playing MIDI.

This seems to be happening in some (rare) cases when another audio application is running while HPLF boots. Please boot HPLF with no other software open and see if the problem persists.

Tweaked 2.0.3

BugJan.2010Windows

It's so slow I can't really use it.

Confirmed. Development of HPLF for Windows will continue; however, it has been removed from the downloads page.

BugDec.2009Both

It's crashing at startup.

I found something that could cause this, which would happen only for some users. You didn't send me your email address, so I have no way to contact you. Always send your email address when submitting a bug report, please.

Fixed 0.1.3

BugNov.2009Mac

It's crashing when I enter MIDI notes into Logic Pro 9

Two things to check: (1) if you are entering notes into Logic using a keyboard, make sure that in HPLF you have only the External App to HPLF selected in the MIDI routing window; check both the MIDI routing window and the Preferences window in HPLF. (2) if you are using the metronome in Logic, make sure it is not sending MIDI to HPLF; the metronome MIDI port should be turned off.
