VoceVista Video 5.10.0


This update brings significant improvements to VoceVista Video with enhanced compatibility for the latest operating systems, new visualization features for spectral analysis, and refined tools for sound generation and frequency filtering. Key highlights include labeling of spectral harmonics, redesigned frequency filters, and spectral peak overlays on the spectrogram in VoceVista Video Pro.

New Features

All Editions

Visual Appearance and Display
  • label spectral harmonics
Audio Input/Output
  • allow selecting input channel from multi-channel devices
  • The Timeline now has an optional Amplitude Scale
System and Performance
  • improved compatibility with macOS Tahoe
  • improved compatibility with Windows 11
Settings and Configuration
  • time resolutions of spectrum and pitch
User Interface
  • Set slider frequency as text (via right-clicking on a Slider).
  • move selection: hold Alt while dragging the selection border to move the selection while keeping its with. When the Long Term Average Spectrum is synchronized with the selection, this allows to quickly scan the average spectrum over the file.
Sound Generator
  • new normalization options, don’t normalize magnitudes by default
  • step modifier: construct scales with volume steps synchronized with the pitch steps. We have a new Sound Generator sample profile: “05 Stepped Intensity Scale” to demonstrate this feature.

VVV edition and higher

Export
  • Export Image can include Vowel Chart
Frequency Filters
  • New visual design for Frequency Filters
  • solo filter button
Vowel Chart
  • new vowel chart profiles: experimental evenly spaced vowels, and “no vowels” for empty vowel chart, and new us profiles by Hillenbrand

VoceVista Video Pro

Visual Appearance and Display
  • display spectral peak overlays on spectrogram
File Management
  • remove selected files from marker list
Analysis Features
  • scientific harmonic notation in statistics panel

Improvements

Visual Appearance and Display
  • mouse wheel on short-term view will zoom frequency range
  • timerange slider drawing – increase reticule thickness, draw time range slider for very short files
  • multi monitor support
    • rescale UI when screen changes
Analysis Features
  • improve pitch detection accuracy (this also improves Vibrato detection)
  • Vibrato Analysis
    • draw vibrato cycles from beginning to end boundary, instead of center to center. This doesn’t change the analysis result, but makes the vibrato view appear to have more content.
  • Analysis Type: harmonics
    • improve excel output
  • curve smoothing
    • performance improvements
  • show spectrum time range in statistics panel
  • remove stale entries from marker list
  • FFT Window functions
    • make Dolph Chebyshev the new default window function
    • add Hann-Poisson
Export
  • export data
    • save audio file for short-term spectrum content
  • make export data dialog modeless
  • make ImageExport modeless
  • turn off confirmation messagebox for image export
File Management
  • file types for open file dialog
    • add .aif and .m4v as supported file types to open dialog
  • always clear cache when build number changes
  • remember last saved file type
System and Performance
  • Pin app to taskbar: support for Windows 11 24H2
  • update experience
    • auto-close the upgraded notice after 20 seconds
  • benchmark tool – add more benchmarks
User Interface
  • staff view context menu entry to track current note
  • piano context menu
  • staff view context menu
Settings and Configuration
  • Fonts and Colors dialog
    • allow thickness adjustment of time cursor line
  • factory settings
    • review predefined toolbars
  • default profiles come first
Sound Generator
  • modulation curves
    • for sine wave and noise modifiers, use a default frequency of 1.0 Hz (instead of 5.0) for secondary modifiers
  • use cents for frequency gradient modifiers

Fixes

Visual Appearance and Display
  • color legend – fix some sizing problems
  • sync spectrogram and time scale
    • review orientation with y=time
  • cursor jumps after stopping playback
  • project tabs misaligned in splitview
  • scale dependencies in window layout: prevent Amplitude scale from being clipped
Export
  • imageexport shows wrong area for horizontal spectrum + scales
File Management
  • stereo channel selection not used during loading
User Interface
  • remove invalid recent file entries after failed open
  • crash when pressing space on open menu
  • timescale cursor doesn’t work with horizontal spectrogram
  • crash when zooming in timeline too far
  • some slider labels are empty
  • C0 piano key not playable
Settings and Configuration
  • options dialog layout – improve visual appearance and fix layouting bugs
  • update AnalyzerInputOptionsDialog when sampling rate changes
Audio Input/Output
  • crash when closing app during playback
Sound Generator
  • click track generator – fix some calculation errors
  • pressing space after clicking on “Generate” doesn’t stop playback
Vowel Chart
  • Vowel chart is too wide with long custom profile name
