* 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, MIDI program) pairs 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, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
17 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
18 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
19 |
|
drumkits is possible |
20 |
|
|
21 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
22 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
23 |
|
|
24 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
25 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
26 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
27 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
28 |
|
|
29 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
30 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |

72 |
|
- added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping |
73 |
|
which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation |
74 |
|
- EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more |
75 |
|
accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage |
76 |
|
ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack |
77 |
|
time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks. |
78 |
|
- fixed pitch changes larger than one octave |
79 |
|
- fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time |
80 |
|
- implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'): |
81 |
|
all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for |
82 |
|
altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento |
83 |
|
mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode |
84 |
|
- fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig |
85 |
|
parameter) and crossfade |
86 |
|
- added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig |
87 |

messages |
90 |
|
- sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion |
91 |
|
instead of the wave chunk |
92 |
|
- fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits |
93 |
|
not equal to a power of two |
94 |
|
- reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more |
95 |
|
accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject |
96 |
|
and lowpass turbo. |
97 |
|
- real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to |
98 |
|
16 bits anymore |
99 |
|
- support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic |
100 |
|
aftertouch) |
101 |
|
- LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of |
102 |
|
amplifying from 0) |
