Due to a philosophy change for setting the effects speed from frames per second (FPS) to beats per minute (BPM), for a lot of effects there is an new SetBpm function available for the Macro. The old SetSpeed functions are available, but declared as deprecated and my be removed during one of the next releases of MADRIX. For further details, please have a look at the descriptions of the single effects or of the Macro in general. The following effects are affected:

During this change the meaning of the fade slider for the following effects has changed too. While the value for fade was mostly given in frames, now it is given in BPM. The new range of possible values for the function SetFade is now from 1 to 3000. This has been changed for the following effects:

For the M2L SingleTones effect there are new constants available to set the new drawing shapes. Furthermore, there are new functions to set the border, pitch, and the width in percent or in pixel in order to get more scalable effects. A new function SetColorMode exists, too. The old function SetColor has been removed since its functionality has been removed within MADRIX, too.

There is a new effect called SCE Shapes within MADRIX, which also has its own Macro functions.

The MAS Script effect has new functions in order to have more control over a running effect, especially when the Speed Master is used to increase or decrease speed or to run it backwards. Hence, it is possible to build scripts which can use the frame ID. It is described here.

Macro Vs. MAS Script Effect

A very powerful new feature in MADRIX is the usage of macros on effects. So the result of each effect can be manipulated by a script written in MADRIX Script. The set of available functions within a macro is almost the same as in the scripting effect except that it has different interface compared to MADRIX. Furthermore, there are special commands available for each effect. They are described in the chapter Macros for Effects.

New Functions

GetValue() and GetAllValues() have been declared as deprecated functions and should not be used anymore. Please use GetNoteValue and GetAllNoteValues instead.

For the ShiftMatrix function new shifting directions are available. Furthermore, a new function called ShiftVectorMatrix is now available.

According to the new matrix mapping features in MADRIX, there are new functions available to setup mirror and tile modes as well as the tile-settings itself.
