2.2.0
Features
📊 Peak meters added
The introduction of peak meters means that you can now have a live representation of the group's output audio! This works great for the more feature-rich boards like the X-Touch Extender and QCon Pro, but can also be used for some smaller boards with LEDs, like the X-Touch Mini's ring lights.

MIDI Mixer will have to use your microphone to see meter details for it. It's therefore expected to see "MIDI Mixer is using your microphone" in the Windows tray menu if you have an input assigned to a group with meters mapped.
🎹 UNGØDLY.DESIGN Launch Pad preset
Huge thanks to @UNGODLY#1526 in Discord (owner of UNGØDLY.DESIGN) for contributing a profile for their beautiful Launch Pad. Anyone who grabs this wonderful device can now enjoy plug'n'play behaviour when installing MIDI Mixer!
@UNGODLY#1526 also contributed a huge amount to the MIDI Mixer cause, so thank you once again for that! ♥ Make sure to check out https://ungodly.design/ for some beautiful devices!
🎹 Behringer X-Touch Extender preset
The bloody brilliant @Giaco#0178 in Discord (check him out on YouTube and Twitch) worked very closely (and patiently) with me to create a profile for the Behringer X-Touch Extender, an exceedingly feature-rich device and a great testing ground for lots of exciting features like peak meters and motorised faders!
After finding many small niggles and bugs, this preset is a prime example of a Mackie Control interface and should be easily applicable to many other such devices! Thank you so much to @Giaco#0178 for his time and effort on this preset. It's awesome!

@Giaco#0178 has not only been instrumental in many of MIDI Mixer's ideas and features, but has also contributed multiple times to the cause! Thank you so much. As above, make sure to check him out on YouTube and Twitch.
Fixes
- MIDI Mixer is now much better at updating a "Focus" group's volume and mute status in realtime
- Removed "Show OSD" button type until we have an extended OSD
- Fixed MIDI Mixer panicking in Windows 10 version 20H2 when shutting down, sometimes causing needless errors being thrown to the log
- Fixed MIDI Mixer's core sometimes not rebooting if intentionally killed by a user
- Fixed crash for some users if they didn't have some C++ tools installed
- Fixed devices sometimes not being listed when choosing input or output devices to switch to in the "Buttons" tab
- Fixed crash if an audio device wasn't ready to be accessed when fetching initial volume / mute status
- Fixed "System Sounds" (and other Windows services) not appearing as being assigned in the Groups tab
- Fixed a very small memory leak (approx. 2KB/hour in my usage) when an application or device deregistered itself with Windows
- Optimised many paths around changing the volume of slower audio devices which is expected to fix "lag" for some users when changing volumes
- Fixed crash when changing a default device if that device can be used as both an input and an output
There have been loads of fantastic ideas from you all of late, and I still have fixes and features planned from feedback all the way from July when only a handful of people had access.
Keep it up, and keep checking the roadmap to see what's up next!
