Version Alpha 0.06 Release - Beta coming soon

OpenSebJ version 0.06 has been released, this means that an official beta is getting close and will be released soon. Only a few features are outstanding before OpenSebJ will take off the Alpha shackles and make a Beta.

In this release a new feature has been included which you (probably?) won't find any where else - a position record straight to the multi track sequencer has been included. All you need to do is assign the samples to a key - open the lay down window hit the Key Record button, play and then tap out your beat.

I haven't kept up with the commercial software but I think this feature has a chance to rival the their products positions.

"System.NullReferenceException"

Bizarre, somehow when I run OpenSebJ through the C# Express 2005 IDE, I can click "Select File" on the record window and have no issue but once I run the program outside of the IDE (Either the Debug or the Release version) I can follow exactly the same operation and get a "System.NullReferenceException". I've found the offending part of the program but have only so far caught it - I would like to debug it further but it's rather difficult without the use of the debugger ;-)

Any ideas?
