Version CVS HEAD (?) |
2 |
|
|
3 |
|
* general changes: |
4 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
5 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
6 |
|
(MIDI bank MSB, MIDI bank LSB, MIDI program) triplets with arbitrary |
7 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
8 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
9 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
10 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
11 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
12 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
13 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
14 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
15 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
16 |
|
the instrument files |
17 |
|
|
18 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
19 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
20 |
|
|
21 |
|
Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006) |
22 |
|
|
23 |
|
* packaging changes: |
24 |
|
- changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig |
25 |
|
to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler; |
26 |
|
to linuxsampler.spec (RPM) |
27 |
|
- install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party |
28 |
|
applications to link against liblinuxsampler |
29 |
|
- liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs' |
30 |
|
(Doxygen required) |
31 |
|
- added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO |
32 |
|
implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a |
33 |
|
di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden |
34 |
|
with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x |
35 |
|
configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation) |
36 |
|
- do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already |
37 |
|
provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS) |
38 |
|
- added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI |
39 |
|
messages |
40 |
|
- added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and |
41 |
|
MIDI drivers |
42 |
|
- fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC |
43 |
|
(patch by Ebrahim Mayat) |
44 |
|
|
45 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
46 |
|
- extensive synthesis optimization |
47 |
|
(reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter |
48 |
|
prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting |
49 |
|
each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses |
50 |
|
constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is |
51 |
|
linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless |
52 |
|
--disable-interpolate-volume is set.) |
53 |
|
- fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters |
54 |
|
- improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the |
55 |
|
following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff |
56 |
|
controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity |
57 |
|
curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales |
58 |
|
cutoff frequency instead of resonance. |
59 |
|
- added support for gig parameter Resonance. |
60 |
|
- fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky) |
61 |
|
- added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping |
62 |
|
which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation |
63 |
|
- EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more |
64 |
|
accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage |
65 |
|
ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack |
66 |
|
time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks. |
67 |
|
- fixed pitch changes larger than one octave |
68 |
|
- fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time |
69 |
|
- implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'): |
70 |
|
all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for |
71 |
|
altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento |
72 |
|
mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode |
73 |
|
- fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig |
74 |
|
parameter) and crossfade |
75 |
|
- added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig |
76 |
|
parameter |
77 |
|
- added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change |
78 |
|
messages |
79 |
|
- sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion |
80 |
|
instead of the wave chunk |
81 |
|
- fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits |
82 |
|
not equal to a power of two |
83 |
|
- reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more |
84 |
|
accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject |
85 |
|
and lowpass turbo. |
86 |
|
- real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to |
87 |
|
16 bits anymore |
88 |
|
- support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic |
89 |
|
aftertouch) |
90 |
|
- LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of |
91 |
|
amplifying from 0) |
92 |
|
|
93 |
|
* LSCP server: |
94 |
|
- fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20) |
95 |
|
- fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of |
96 |
|
network activity (fixes bug #26) |
97 |
|
- fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters |
98 |
|
(e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'") |
99 |
|
|
100 |
|
* audio driver: |
101 |
|
- added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe) |
102 |
|
|
103 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
104 |
|
- fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx |
105 |
|
messages several times instead of once |
106 |
|
- API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps |
107 |
|
for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers) |
108 |
|
- added checks for bad MIDI data |
109 |
|
|
110 |
|
* linuxsampler application: |
111 |
|
- show available sampler engine types on startup |
112 |
|
|
113 |
|
* general changes: |
114 |
|
- support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new |
115 |
|
LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new |
116 |
|
fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were |
117 |
|
introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console |
118 |
|
(patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option |
119 |
|
--enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the |
120 |
|
processing of muted channels. |
121 |
|
- support for sostenuto pedal |
122 |
|
- support for monitoring the total number of active voices |
123 |
|
(new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX, |
124 |
|
SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT) |
125 |
|
- fixed some memory management errors |
126 |
|
- fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when |
127 |
|
LSCP commands were executed |
128 |
|
- fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same |
129 |
|
sampler channel (fixes bug #36) |
