Minor updates to several applications

By Mark van den Berg, 14 July, 2025

New versions of several Mountain Utilities applications are now available for macOS and Windows:

These new versions offer the following improvements:

  • The Mackie monitor windows convert all incoming control characters ($00-$1F and $7F) to dots. (Since control characters are usually non-printable, they can lead to display problems.)
  • A bug in the "Roland System Exclusive message(s)" dialog box was fixed that could cause data errors in the "MIDI System Exclusive messages" window.
  • On macOS, the arrow keys can now be used to change the value of the currently selected trackbar.
  • On Windows, the application can now be minimized to the systray.

Mountain Utilities website upgraded

In January 2025 the Mountain Utilities website had a complete makeover.

Consequently certain features of the website have changed:

  • The links to the downloadable files in the B-Control and GS-10 user file sections have changed. Previously these links contained only an index, not the actual file name; now the links contain the folder path in the user file section followed by the actual file name. Beware: the old links no longer work.
  • Forum subscriptions are no longer possible. Instead, registered users can now receive comment notifications.
  • Smileys can no longer be shown in any texts (including forum posts). All existing smileys in forum posts have been converted to text, for instance "[emoticon:sad]".
  • During the upgrade all download counters were reset to zero.
