We are proud to announce a new update: Vezér 1.7. There are a number of pretty exciting new features in the new release and we also squashed all bugs you've reported. Here is a small overview of what is new in this release:

OSC Query Protocol Support

Vezér 1.7 adds support for the OSC Query specification, which lets you discover the current address space of an OSC Query-enabled application and create Tracks pretty easily. The protocol is still on draft state, and yet Mitti - which will be released later this week by the way - is the only application which supports this new protocol. If a Query server is available it will be listed in the popup-menu of the Add Track button and in the right-click menu of the Composition Timeline too.

Clicking on it will order front the OSC Address-space window where you can see all of the available OSC addresses provided by the server with their description and you can also search them. Doing double-click on any of the OSC Addresses listed with create the corresponding Track on the current Composition, with matching settings - so the Tracks Min/Max Values and OSC Track Types will be set automatically for you. For OSC Addresses without parameters an OSC Flag Track with the corresponding OSC Flag Keyframe will be created.

NMC - New Network Sync Protocol

NMC is a new in-house protocol to broadcast transport and locate commands over the network. It can be used to syncing multiple Vezér or Mitti instances on the local network. The setup process is pretty straightforward - you just need to enable sending on the Master, and select the Master on the Slave machine. That is it.

Option to set how to handle Keyframes outside of the Tracks Min/Max settings on change

Now there are 3 options you can select to setup how to deal with Keyframes outside of the new Min/Max range on OSC Tracks. - Recalculate: Keyframes will be normalised within the new range

Clamp: Keyframes will be clamped

Delete: Keyframes will be removed

Overlay on Tracks outside of the Working Area

Regions outside of the Working Area drawn with a black-ish overlay to help you recognising it easier.

Some behaviours are changed

after pasting Keyframes only the newly created Keyframes will be selected. Hold down Shift while pasting if you want previously selected Keyframes to be selected too

when multiple Keyframes and Track are selected, deleting only removes the Keyframes, selected Tracks without Keyframes selected won't be removed

And a lot others!

Now you can also copy-paste Cues from Mitti, target multiple DMX channels on DMX Softpatch, import Color Keyframes by JSON, add multiple fixed arguments to OSC Color Tracks or set to send DMX Blackout automatically when using Solo mode.
