Fixed builds can be downloaded using the same link, username and password received after purchasing the product: if you should have lost them or if they shouldn't work anymore, please, contact our Technical support.
VERY IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with the installation of updated versions, don't forget to close all of the running applications and to UNINSTALL the existing version: missing this step could prevent the new version to run correctly on your development PC.
Fixed Bugs (since version 3.0)
- When using more than on instance of the control, the SilencePositionAvailable event will report wrong values.
- Allocating several instances of the control on several forms that will be opened and closed could cause issues with the visual feedbacks.
- Changing visual feedback's settings during playback can cause a GPF
- Calling the CloseSound method immediately after a call to the RequestSoundExportToWav method can cause a GPF: in any case, note that calling the CloseSound method immediately after a call to the RequestSoundExportToWav method is not a correct behaviour and must be avoided.
- WAV ADPCM format files can cause a GPF during a ReadSoundInfo method's call
- Changing the width of Spectrum bands through the Spectrum.BandWidth property doesn't produce any visible effect.
- Starting a recording session, through the Active Sound Recorder control, can cause a discard of the loaded song from memory.
- If no sound is loaded inside a player, the RemoveTrigger method doesn't remove the given trigger.
- The manual BPM calculation, performed through a call to the RequestSoundBPM method, will cause a GPF on sounds loaded inside a memory buffer.
- If more than one instance of the control has been instanced, the Waveform analisys will fail for all of the instances different from the first one.
- The visual feedbacks suffer a momentary stop of their graphic rendering when one of the players completes playing the loaded sound.

- The TriggerReached event is generated over and over when the playback reaches the trigger position.
- The FadingPointReached event is generated twice when dealing with single songs
- On some kind of MP3 file, the song duration is not much accurate, causing the song to be reported as 1 second longer.
- Closing a file will not release the allocated resources and will maintain the file locked.
- The GetFrequency method returns a negative value

- Modifying the color settings of a visual feedback without a previous call to the InitDJSystem method or during the loading of a CD track can cause a GPF.
- The BPM for WMA files loaded from memory is not calculated.
- Calling the LoadSound method immediately followed by a call to the PlaySound method, while another song is very near to finish its current playback, can cause a premature stop of the new playback.
- Calling the LoadSound method on several different files without waiting for the SoundLoaded event, for example inside a loop, can cause a GPF.
