Version 4.0:
- New general purpose Euclid Recognition
Algorithm is developed that works substantially better that previous
algorithms.
- New Drum Recognition Algorithm devoted to
recognition of drum tracks as well as to extraction of drum score from a
complex recording is created.
- Now WIDI can analyse Tonality of a
musical piece, no matter if it is MIDI or a Wave file (after recognition),
suggesting most probable variants for your final decision.
- New Tuning determination not only allows
to find exact degree of instrument detuning (compared to the standard European
Scale) over the whole piece, but also serves as aid to the recognition
algorithms.
- Equalizer feature was greatly enhanced.
Now you can use scale mask together with pitch mask. Several common scales are
supported, and the scale can be applied according to the automatically
determined key-note.
