* Envelope no longer accepts exponential scaling, only Tone.ScaledEnvelope
* Buffer progress and load events which tracks the progress of all downloads
* Buffer only accepts a single url
* Sampler accepts multiple samples as an object and can set using setSample
* Sampler accepts multiple samples as an object.
* `setPitch` in sampler -> `setNote`
* Deprecated MultiSampler - use Sampler with PolySynth instead
* Added [cdn](cdn.tonejs.org/latest/Tone.min.js) - please don't use for production code
* Renamed DryWet to CrossFade
* Functions return `this` to allow for chaining. i.e. `player.toMaster().start(2)`.
* Removed a lot of set/get method in favor of ES5 dot notation. i.e. `player.setVolume(-10)` is now `player.volume.value = -10`.
* Added `units` to Signal class which allows signals to be set in terms of Tone.Time, Tone.Frequency, Numbers, or Decibels.
* Replaced set/get method with ES5 dot notation. i.e. `player.setVolume(-10)` is now `player.volume.value = -10`.
To ramp the volume use either `player.volume.linearRampToValueNow(-10, "4n")`, or the new `rampTo` method which automaically selects the ramp (linear|exponential) based on the type of data.
* Added `units` to Signal class which allows signals to be set in terms of Tone.Time, Tone.Frequency, numbers, or decibels.
* set/get methods for all Effects and Instruments
* syncSignal and unsyncSignal moved from Signal to Transport
BREAKING API CHANGES:
The API has been changed consistently to use `.attribute` for getting and setting instead of `getAttribute` and `setAttribute` methods. The reasoning for this is twofold: firstly, Tone.Signal attributes were previously limited in their scheduling capabilities when set through a setter function. For exactly, it was not possible to do a setValueAtTime on the `bpm` of the Transport. Secondly, the new EcmaScript 5 getter/setter approach resembles the Web Audio API much more closely, which will make intermixing the two APIs even easier.
If you're using Sublime Text, one way to transition from the old API to the new one is with a regex find/replace:
find `Tone.Transport.setBpm\((\d+)\)` and replace it with `Tone.Transport.bpm.value = $1`.
Or if setBpm was being invoked with a rampTime:
find `Tone.Transport.setBpm\((\d+)\, (\d+)\)` and replace it with `Tone.Transport.bpm.rampTo($1, $2)`.
