Resolume Avenue 7.24.2 rev 62935

What's new in this version:

Faster Composition Loading (again):
- In the past couple of releases we have improved loading compositions with a lot of layers, groups and clips. And in this version we're dialing this up to 11. One of our beta testers has a big composition that took 8 minutes to load and this is now just 1 minute with 7.24. Nice!
- Faster MIDI Processing:
- Big compositions often require a lot of MIDI to be processed too, this is now also much improved. The interface will not lag anymore when processing a lot of MIDI data from and to controllers or Wire patches.

CRT Effect:
- Crisp, clear gradients are nice — but sometimes you just want some old-school analogue grunt in your visuals, and the new CRT effect helps you do just that. It emulates big, chunky CRT monitors that'll have you feeling nostalgic (if you're over 40 or so ??).
- This effect is completely made in Wire, so you can fork it, look under the hood to see how it's made, and patch your own variations.
- While we're on the subject of effects: the Strokes effect now has an image input, so you can stroke your visuals with your own brushes instead of only the built-in ones

Show Composition Loading, Saving & Closing State:
- We've always been surprised (and honestly a bit frightened) by the sheer size of the compositions some of you are making
- Do you really need more than 40 layers and 900+ columns!?
- We've made loading and unloading compositions quite a bit faster in the past few updates, but it can still take a while sometimes — there's just a lot of clips to load
- With this update, you can now see in the title bar that Arena is busy while opening, saving and closing compositions

Updated macOS App Icons:
- To be a good citizen on macOS, we've finally updated the app icons of Arena, Avenue, Wire, and Alley to adhere to Apple's icon design guidelines
- Can we now complain about the liquid glass UI design of iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe? It's a neat trick, but way too glossy and distracting in our humble opinion.

MIDI & OSC Monitor Stop & Resume:
- Sometimes you have a lot of MIDI or OSC messages coming in and out
- Now, you can pause the monitor for a bit to inspect messages without new ones flooding in

REST API Updates:
Thanks to REST API power user Allen, we're continually making updates. You can now:
- Load compositions
- Open multiple clips
- Check if files can actually be opened
- Add multiple columns to a composition in one call

Capture Improvements:
- Thanks to our new team member Marcel, we can now put a lot more energy into improving capture device support in Arena and Avenue
- We've updated to NDI version 6.1.1 and Blackmagic version 12.1
- All capture devices are now capable of inputting and outputting 10-bit colour depth
- Let us know what your favourite capture devices are — we might be able to support more popular choices in the future

Wire Patch Navigator:
- The Wire Patch Navigator is a small panel with a miniature overview of your entire patch
- Use it to quickly pan and zoom in and out of your giant spaghetti patches

Notes Panel in Wire:
- The Notes panel from Arena and Avenue is now also available in Wire, so you have a nice spot to jot down your thoughts — or your favourite spaghetti meatballs recipe

Texture Preview on Mouse Hover of Outlet:
- To quickly see what a node is outputting, hover over the outlet — it now also shows texture outputs
- They're only the size of a stamp, but very useful for quick previews

Insert Node After & Before Current Node:
- When an inlet or outlet is wired up to multiple other nodes, it used to be a bit of work to insert a node and reconnect all the cords. Not anymore!
- You can now right-click an inlet or outlet and choose Insert… to quickly add a new node and rewire all the connections automatically.

Node Image in Search Popup:
- To help you quickly find the node you're looking for, the search popup now shows a full-scale preview of the node with all its inlets and outlets

Cylindrical and Spherical Nodes:
- The From Cylindrical and From Spherical nodes allow you to turn cylindrical and spherical coordinates into Cartesian coordinates — which is a very nerdy way of saying you can generate sphere and cylinder coordinates now.
- Stable Sort
- The Sort node now supports stable sorting, which means if two values are the same, their original order is preserved

Stride:
- The Texture from Data node has gotten an update and now supports two-dimensional textures by setting a stride value. These function more or less as columns for the generated texture and will give you a lot more possibilities when using the Texture from Data node.
