- only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to |
5 |
|
the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in) |
6 |
|
|
7 |
|
* general changes: |
8 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
9 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
10 |
|
(MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary |
11 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
12 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
13 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
14 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
15 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
16 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
17 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
18 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
19 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
20 |
|
the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
21 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
22 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
23 |
|
drumkits is possible |
24 |
|
- new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices, |
25 |
|
MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume. |
26 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
27 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
28 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
29 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
30 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
31 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
32 |
|
controllers |
33 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
34 |
|
- Implemented new, improved notification system |
35 |
|
|
36 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
37 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
38 |
|
|
39 |
|
* audio driver: |
40 |
|
- the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct |
41 |
|
parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card |
42 |
|
(patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended) |
43 |
|
|
44 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
45 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
46 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
47 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
48 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
49 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
50 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
51 |
|
command |
52 |
|
- EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash |
53 |
|
- handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB) |
54 |
|
- EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level |
55 |
|
above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase |
56 |
|
even if sustain is 100% |
57 |
|
- more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause |
58 |
|
noises or crashes |
59 |
|
|
60 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
61 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
62 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
63 |
|
channel audio output device" |
