Soundshaper 6.4 withdrawn

[Robert Fraser]

I have found a fundamental bug in Soundshaper 6.4 and have decided to withdraw this version. Do not use it! The bug affects editing and erasing files under certain circumstances.

Users who still have version 6.3 should use that instead. Others should download version 6.3 here:
https://www.ensemble-software.net/downloads/Soundshaper6.3Exe.zip
The replacement Soundshaper.exe should be copied into users' existing Soundshaper6 folder, replacing the previous Soundshaper.exe file.

A previously unpublished version (6.3.1, Dec. '24) supporting WINE is also available:
https://www.ensemble-software.net/downloads/Soundshaper6.3.1Exe.zip
Unless Soundshaper is being run via WINE, there would be no point in using this version.

It is hoped to release a new version (6.4.1) as soon as possible, once the functionality added from 6.3 to 6.4 has been re-instated and re-tested.

My apologies to all Soundshaper users for this inconvenience.

** UPDATE 10 JUNE **
Some progress in finding/ curing bugs - but one of these was also in vn6.3. So I've rebuilt 6.3.1 without this bug and now recommend users to download this file (6.3.1.1 June '25) instead, replacing their existing Soundshaper.exe. The links are still as above:
https://www.ensemble-software.net/downloads/Soundshaper6.3Exe.zip
or
https://www.ensemble-software.net/downloads/Soundshaper6.3.1Exe.zip

The bug concerned a soundfile being left open after editing in the graphic editor; it couldn't be erased without first exiting Soundshaper.

The revisions to loading patches, introduced in 6.4, will be revised next, with the fully revised program hopefully available within a week.
