"PSR Style Database/Midi Database/Pad Database V5.0"   Version 5.0    (Size: 1.1 MB)

runs on Windows 95 up to Windows 11.

Important note when upgrading from version 3.x

Files used for importing data with the "Import Style Data/Import Midi Data" function are not compatible between version 3.x and 4.x. If they have been created with the "Export Style Data" function (e.g. for backup purpose) they have to be recreated with the current program version.

If import files have been created manually, without using my program (I assume that only very few people have done this, as this is an undocumented feature), you can contact me for additional hints to convert them to the new version before upgrading.

History

14.02.2024      V 5.0

• First version including the Pad Database for handling also Yamaha Multipad files.

• Fixed a problem: In case of empty style/midi files unnecessary rescans may occur.
• Fixed a problem: Single double quotes in strings read from style/midi files may result in problems displaying the data for these files.
• Increased internal style data collector version -> 17

• Fixed a problem: If there are a lot of entries in the list (> 100000) sorting specific columns may take a long time.
  The problem occurs only for columns containing only a small number of different values (e.g. SFF, OTS, MDB).
  This is fixed by using a better sorting algorithm.

• Added new column "Megavoice" (for midi files only).
• Increased internal midi data collector version -> 16
• Extended error message in case of using a too old version of the program.
• Program can now be started with drag and drop of a folder to the desktop icon.
• Drag and drop of a folder to the program window will select the folder for display.
• Added missing description for column "Usage" in the help.
• Added some missing translations.
• Added Handling of ASNC section (for styles only).
• Fixed a problem: Columns "Keyboard" and "Style used" are not filled with correct values for midis created on newer Yamaha keyboards.
  Since PSR-3000 Yamaha keyboards no more provide a keyboard id in the midi file. Therefore a general style list ("NetCommon") has to be used in this case.
• Fixed a problem: In rare cases the midi files may be unnecessarily analysed again.
• Some minor fixes.

• Fixed a problem with time signature exported to a CSV file. (Excel interprets the time signature as a date.)
• Added some missing translations.
• Some minor fixes.

• Added support for style files *.scp
• Added new column "Key Signature" (for midi files only).
• Increased internal midi data collector version -> 15

• Added support for style files *.fps
• Added new column "Score Channel" (for midi files only).
• Fixed a problem: Program should not terminate scanning in case of unicode filenames.
• When the program starts the window is no more placed in the upper left corner.
• Changed setting pages of external programs for more flexibility.
• Fixed a problem: Setting for sort order was not stored correctly (for midi files only).
• Fixed installation problems, when the program is installed by a user having no administrator privileges.
• Increased internal midi data collector version -> 14

• New resizable "Browse for folder" dialog.
• Fixed a problem: Only 19 out of 20 columns are possible when printing lists.
• Fixed a problem: Program should not terminate scanning in case of unicode filenames.

• The program can now support other languages. English and German versions are available.
• Extended information about style/midi files via context menu (right mouse button click).

• Fixed a bug: Empty dialog when starting program on Windows 7.

• Better support for Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Added new columns "SFF", "VH Channel".
• Browse dialog windows are now resizeable.
• Function "Write list to RTF file" now allows selection of columns to be written.
• Quick copy function "Copy to A:" can now be configured to use other drives. See Edit\Settings\Miscellaneous.
• The sort order of the list is now configurable to match the sort order of the different keyboards. (Not yet finished for PSR9000)
• New help file format
• Fixed a problem: Problem with rename function in case of multiple selected files.
• Fixed a problem: Autoresizing the column "Nr" did not work correctly.

• Midi Database now also uses the better selection method for function "Select all except one of each".

• Filter conditions can now be defined using logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) and parenthesis.
• Default column sort order can be stored together with default columns (see "Select Display Columns" dialog).
• New function (only for Styles): "Add Song from Filename" (see description for "Modify Style Data" in the help file).
• Enhanced error checking for style/midi files.
• Added some more description to filter dialog help.

• Fixed a problem: For a number of valid style files an error is signaled in the "error" column (only StyleDatabase).
• Fixed a problem: Some folders containing styles/midis may be locked while the program is running. Means, they can not be renamed or moved outside of the program, while the program is running.

• Fixed a problem with inaccessible folders/files when scanning whole drives. In case of NTFS drives some windows system directories may not be accessible. This aborts the scanning process with error -207.

• New function: "Write MDB Records to Style Files".
• New functions: "Go to line nr", "Go to next selected line", "Go to previous selected line".
• New function: "Import Default Data".
• New function: "Hard Refresh List".

• Program functions can be assigned to function keys.
• Background color of displayed list changes if a filter condition is active.
• Copy file to same directory is now supported.
• Improved detection algorithm for style genres.
• Fixed a problem: Sorting of German "Umlaute" was always case-sensitive.
• Fixed a problem when copying files with same name but different extensions.

• Fixed a bug: Filtering/Searching did not work for german "Umlaute".
• Fixed the "error -203" problem, which occurred on a few systems when scanning the whole drive C:\.
