Version 4.0.0 (14 Jul 2015) |
| 2 |
|
|
|
| 3 |
|
|
This major release of libgig adds support for other file formats: |
| 4 |
|
|
SoundFont 2 (.sf2), KORG multi sample instruments (.KSF, .KMP) and AKAI |
| 5 |
|
|
format sounds. The AKAI classes are a fork of Sébastien Métrot's libakai and |
| 6 |
|
|
since it is released under a different license (LGPL) than libgig is (GPL), |
| 7 |
|
|
the AKAI classes are built as separate DLL file. All other classes of those |
| 8 |
|
|
new file formats are built and bundled with the existing libgig DLL. Thanks |
| 9 |
|
|
to Grigor Iliev for his work on the SoundFont 2 classes! Please note that |
| 10 |
|
|
there is currently no support for KORG's .PCG file format yet. That's because |
| 11 |
|
|
this file format changes a lot and is not only dependent to the precise KORG |
| 12 |
|
|
keyboard model, but also to the precise OS version on the same model. And |
| 13 |
|
|
since basic conversion can also be done by just accessing the .KSF and .KMP |
| 14 |
|
|
files (sample data, loop informations), the current classes should be |
| 15 |
|
|
sufficient for many tasks. Adding support for KORG's .PCG files is not |
| 16 |
|
|
planned at the moment. |
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
Various new command line tools have been added as well to dump, extract and |
| 19 |
|
|
convert between all those file formats now. Each one of it has a man page, |
| 20 |
|
|
so please refer to the respective man page of the individual command line |
| 21 |
|
|
tool for details. |
| 22 |
|
|
|
| 23 |
|
|
The GigaStudio/Gigasampler classes received a load of fixes during the last |
| 24 |
|
|
six years. And support for features introduced with the last official |
| 25 |
|
|
GigaStudio 4 software (RIP) were added, for instance support for so called |
| 26 |
|
|
"iMIDI Rules". Those rules allow i.e. to trigger notes by MIDI CC and to |
| 27 |
|
|
define a sample set for legato playing style. In the meantime it seems as if |
| 28 |
|
|
the GigaStudio software has seen its last version with GigaStudio 4, because |
| 29 |
|
|
Tascam discontinued this product and the intellectual property of GigaStudio |
| 30 |
|
|
had been sold several times between companies. It is currently not possible |
| 31 |
|
|
to buy a new copy of GigaStudio anymore and we personally don't expect that |
| 32 |
|
|
this situation will ever change. |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
Does this also mean the end of new features for libgig? Not really! Actually |
| 35 |
|
|
we already started to add new features to the GigaStudio/Gigasampler format |
| 36 |
|
|
which never existed with the GigaStudio/Gigasampler software: The most |
| 37 |
|
|
noteworthy new feature added by us is support for real-time instrument |
| 38 |
|
|
scripts. These are little "programs" which you can bundle with your .gig |
| 39 |
|
|
sounds to add a custom behavior to your sounds when playing them with i.e. |
| 40 |
|
|
LinuxSampler. Find out more about this new major feature on: |
| 41 |
|
|
|
| 42 |
|
|
http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/ |
| 43 |
|
|
|
| 44 |
|
|
There are also some more minor extensions to the .gig format, for example |
| 45 |
|
|
support for far more MIDI CC's than originally allowed by the GigaStudio |
| 46 |
|
|
software. Obviously all those custom extensions will not work with any |
| 47 |
|
|
version of the official GigaStudio software, those new features will only |
| 48 |
|
|
work with a recent version of LinuxSampler and gigedit at the moment. |
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
Besides those major changes, a load of convenient methods have been added to |
| 51 |
|
|
the existing libgig classes to reduce the overall effort working with all |
| 52 |
|
|
those file formats with software applications based on libgig. |
