4 |
|
- fixed building with newer MinGW-w64 |
5 |
|
|
6 |
|
* general changes: |
7 |
|
- Refactoring: moved the independent code from |
8 |
|
the Gigasampler format engine to base classes |
9 |
|
- command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the |
10 |
|
respective profiling code is currently broken |
11 |
|
- Introduced support for optional environment variable |
12 |
|
"LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory |
13 |
|
where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins |
14 |
|
(patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified). |
15 |
|
- implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note |
16 |
|
- implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note |
17 |
|
- implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per |
18 |
|
note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to |
19 |
|
the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual |
20 |
|
effect type is) |
21 |
|
- implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per |
22 |
|
note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to |
23 |
|
the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual |
24 |
|
effect type is) |
25 |
|
|
26 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
27 |
|
- implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension |
28 |
|
- fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of |
29 |
|
dimension zones is not a power of two |
30 |
|
- made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each |
31 |
|
key |
32 |
|
|
33 |
|
* SFZ format engine: |
34 |
|
- Initial implementation (not usable yet) |
35 |
|
- added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators |
36 |
|
- added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the |
37 |
|
one from the gig engine |
38 |
|
- fixed memory leak and memory handling errors |
39 |
|
- added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous |
40 |
|
- allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example) |
41 |
|
- "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too |
42 |
|
- fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by |
43 |
|
multiple regions |
44 |
|
- added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be |
45 |
|
more compatible |
46 |
|
- added support for trigger=release and rt_decay |
47 |
|
- added support for off_mode=normal |
48 |
|
- added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume |
49 |
|
- added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet) |
50 |
|
- added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N |
51 |
|
- fine-tuned the default velocity curve |
52 |
|
- added support for transpose |
53 |
|
- fixed crash when using sw_down/up |
54 |
|
- improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last |
55 |
|
- added more v1 aliases to parser |
56 |
|
- reduced memory usage for sfz data |
57 |
|
- RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread |
58 |
|
- fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail |
59 |
|
- optimized sample lookup |
60 |
|
- improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and |
61 |
|
off_mode) |
62 |
|
- added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc) |
63 |
|
- added support for loop_mode=one_shot |
64 |
|
- fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs |
65 |
|
- added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files |
66 |
|
|
67 |
|
* SoundFont format engine: |
68 |
|

|
- RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread |
70 |
|
- fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail |
71 |
|
|
72 |
|
* Host plugins: |
73 |
|
- AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices |
74 |
|
- Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY) |
75 |
|
- VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after |
76 |
|
changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was |
77 |
|
incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5. |
78 |
|
|
79 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
80 |
|
- ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding |
81 |
|
the ALSA sequencer client name |
82 |
|
|
83 |
|
* LSCP server: |
84 |
|
- added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command |
85 |
|
"SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA CC <sampler-chan> <ctrl> <val>" |
86 |
|
|
87 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
88 |
|
- Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range |
89 |
|
- minor valgrind fixes |
90 |
|
- fixed crash which occured when changing an already deployed sampler |
91 |
|
channel to a different engine type |
92 |
|
|
93 |
|
Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009) |
94 |
|
|
95 |
|
* packaging changes: |
96 |
|
- autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly, |
97 |
|
causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when |
98 |
|
"./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used |
99 |
|
(patch by Alexis Ballier) |
100 |
|
- fixed compilation with gcc 4.3 |
101 |
|
- fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing) |
102 |
|
- fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107) |
103 |
|
- fixes for building with newer MinGW versions |
104 |
|
- fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111) |
105 |
|
- fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory |
106 |
|
- minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW |
107 |
|
- Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base |
108 |
|
directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one |
109 |
|
directory above) |
110 |
|
- configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE |
111 |
|
- fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory |
112 |
|
- when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db |
113 |
|
- fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep |
114 |
|
|
115 |
|
* general changes: |
116 |
|
- bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to |
117 |
|
load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field |
118 |
|
(fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu) |
119 |
|
- fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor |
120 |
|
plugin DLL on Windows systems failed |
121 |
|
- fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded |
122 |
|
- optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait |
123 |
|
unnecessarily long after an update |
124 |
|
- added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off |
125 |
|
events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard |
126 |
|
of gigedit) |
127 |
|
- added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above) |
128 |
|
- be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux) |
129 |
|
- fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation |
130 |
|
is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math |
131 |
|
implementation, which is usually faster) |
132 |
|
- fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes |
133 |
|
- experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and |
134 |
|
VST plugin |
135 |
|
- notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent |
136 |
|
only when there are actual changes |
137 |
|
- added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on |
138 |
|
multi-core and multi-cpu systems |
139 |
|
- maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime |
140 |
|
- fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108) |
141 |
|
- automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can |
142 |
|
be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic |
143 |
|
stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment) |
144 |
|
- C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns |
145 |
|
a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object |
146 |
|
- added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following |
147 |
|
liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(), |
148 |
|
InstrumentEditor::Launch(), |
149 |
|
InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() |
150 |
|
- theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory |
151 |
|
model more strictly |
152 |
|
- fixes for using large audio device buffers |
153 |
|
- Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path |
154 |
|
when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and |
155 |
|
gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed) |
156 |
|
|
157 |
|
* audio driver: |
158 |
|
- removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to |
159 |
|
max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers |
160 |
|
- JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as |
161 |
|
opposed to the LSCP specs |
162 |
|
- bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK) |
163 |
|
reflected the wrong value |
164 |
|
- fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver |
165 |
|
- Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used |
166 |
|
- JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated |
167 |
|
jack_client_new |
168 |
|
- added (experimental) CoreAudio driver |
169 |
|
- applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the |
170 |
|
previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS |
171 |
|
(fixes #117) |
172 |
|
- fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on |
173 |
|
win64) |
174 |
|
- VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes |
175 |
|
- VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed |
176 |
|
- VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance |
177 |
|
- VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for |
178 |
|
energyXT) |
179 |
|
- VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16 |
180 |
|
stereo |
181 |
|
- added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings |
182 |
|
stored in the plugin state |
183 |
|
- performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and |
184 |
|
AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions |
185 |
|
(if available) |
186 |
|
- ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing |
187 |
|
exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device |
188 |
|
|
189 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
190 |
|
- added JACK MIDI driver |
191 |
|
- dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously |
192 |
|
want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI |
193 |
|
input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME) |
194 |
|
- bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME, |
195 |
|
CoreMidi or AU |
196 |
|
- fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver |
197 |
|
- made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by |
198 |
|
moving the logic to a non-RT thread |
199 |
|
- fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver |
200 |
|
|
201 |
|
* instruments database: |
202 |
|
- avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments |
203 |
|
to the instruments database |
204 |
|
- added support for handling lost files in the instruments database |
205 |
|
- Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories |
206 |
|
in the instruments database |
207 |
|
(patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted) |
208 |
|
- work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make |
209 |
|
instrument database compilable |
210 |
|
- added instrument database support on Windows |
211 |
|
works with both standalone mode and VST plugin. |
212 |
|
the instruments DB file is located in |
213 |
|
%USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different |
214 |
|
databases for each windows user |
215 |
|
if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir |
216 |
|
and then creates an empty DB |
217 |
|
- fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows |
218 |
|
|
219 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
220 |
|
- fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted |
221 |
|
while notes were playing |
222 |
|
- made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread |
223 |
|
isn't running |
224 |
|
- added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule, |
225 |
|
enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples |
226 |
|
- minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the |
227 |
|
respective FX send MIDI controller was used |
228 |
|
- added support for GM global device volume SysEx message |
229 |
|
(can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the |
230 |
|
whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are |
231 |
|
connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived |
232 |
|
on) |
233 |
|
- bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were |
234 |
|
sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to |
235 |
|
be played |
236 |
|
- added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message |
237 |
|
which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and |
238 |
|
drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI |
239 |
|
part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in |
240 |
|
LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps |
241 |
|
defined for the sampler |
242 |
|
- made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the |
243 |
|
audio thread isn't running |
244 |
|
- fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116) |
245 |
|
- bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only |
246 |
|
un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any |
247 |
|
sampler engine anymore |
248 |
|
- re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor, |
249 |
|
e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82) |
250 |
|
- fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact |
251 |
|
same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the |
252 |
|
same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112) |
253 |
|
- added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range" |
254 |
|
instrument-level gig parameters |
255 |
|
- fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling |
256 |
|
- added support for GS Reset SysEx message |
257 |
|
- allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting |
258 |
|
- added a limit check for upward pitch shifting |
259 |
|
- bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second |
260 |
|
note was silent |
261 |
|
- fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the |
262 |
|
same time a new instrument was loading |
263 |
|
|
264 |
|
* LSCP server: |
265 |
|
- added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to |
266 |
|
react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only |
267 |
|
Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event) |
268 |
|
- added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to |
269 |
|
react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only |
270 |
|
Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event) |
271 |
|
- added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and |
272 |
|
SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH |
273 |
|
- added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by |
274 |
|
frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel |
275 |
|
- added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command - |
276 |
|
KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS |
277 |
|
- bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications |
278 |
|
was incorrect |
279 |
|
- Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings |
280 |
|
- added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum |
281 |
|
amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will |
282 |
|
be triggered respectively |
283 |
|
- added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum |
284 |
|
amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS" |
285 |
|
which will be triggered respectively |
286 |
|
- bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when |
287 |
|
a gigedit file dialog is opened) |
288 |
|
- close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted |
289 |
|
- hard close of all sockets on exit |
290 |
|
- bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME |
291 |
|
driver |
292 |
|
|
293 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
294 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting |
295 |
|
to start instrument loading after another channel |
296 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with |
297 |
|
instrument loading in progress (bug #113) |
298 |
|
- fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI |
299 |
|
instrument with PERSISTENT load mode |
300 |
|
- fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler |
301 |
|
- fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands: |
302 |
|
GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO |
303 |
|
GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO |
304 |
|
GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO |
305 |
|
GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO |
306 |
|
- fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present |
307 |
|
- fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118) |
308 |
|
- fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler |
309 |
|
channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes |
310 |
|
- fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120) |
311 |
|
- fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit |
312 |
|
PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform |
313 |
|
- fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a |
314 |
|
plugin was unloaded |
315 |
|
- bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause |
316 |
|
problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor |
317 |
|
- fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on |
318 |
|
Windows |
319 |
|
|
320 |
|
|
321 |
|
Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007) |
322 |
|
|
323 |
|
* packaging changes: |
324 |
|
- added autoconf checks for pthread library |
325 |
|
- added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled |
326 |
|
glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076) |
327 |
|
- added autoconf checks for MS Windows |
328 |
|
|
329 |
|
* general changes: |
330 |
|
- bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the |
331 |
|
editor closed |
332 |
|
- bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero |
333 |
|
out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after |
334 |
|
decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in |
335 |
|
order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions. |
336 |
|
- bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in |
337 |
|
GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in |
338 |
|
the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any |
339 |
|
bugs. |
340 |
|
- Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in |
341 |
|
24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little |
342 |
|
endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1 |
343 |
|
unaligned 32bit read and shift |
344 |
|
- experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO |
345 |
|
output via ASIO) |
346 |
|
- made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust |
347 |
|
- support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams |
348 |
|
(new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, |
349 |
|
SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT) |
350 |
|
|
351 |
|
* AUDIO driver: |
352 |
|
- added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver |
353 |
|
|
354 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
355 |
|
- added MME Windows MIDI driver |
356 |
|
|
357 |
|
* LSCP server: |
358 |
|
- added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with |
359 |
|
forward slash path separators instead of backslash |
360 |
|
(i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig") |
361 |
|
- allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within |
362 |
|
apostrophes as well |
363 |
|
- added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>", |
364 |
|
"LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and |
365 |
|
"GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations |
366 |
|
about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is |
367 |
|
running on |
368 |
|
|
369 |
|
Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007) |
370 |
|
|
371 |
|
* packaging changes: |
372 |
|
- config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's |
373 |
|
API header files anymore |
374 |
|
- only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to |
375 |
|
the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in) |
376 |
|
- added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now |
377 |
|
capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore |
378 |
|
to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for |
379 |
|
OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
380 |
|
- fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script |
381 |
|
parameters |
382 |
|
- global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the |
383 |
|
C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions |
384 |
|
are now in global_private.h |
385 |
|
- atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore |
386 |
|
- no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files |
387 |
|
- fixed warnings in API doc generation |
388 |
|
|
389 |
|
* general changes: |
390 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
391 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
392 |
|
(MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary |
393 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
394 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
395 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
396 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
397 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
398 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
399 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
400 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
401 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
402 |
|
the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
403 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
404 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
405 |
|
drumkits is possible |
406 |
|
- new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices, |
407 |
|
MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume. |
408 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
409 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
410 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
411 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
412 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
413 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
414 |
|
controllers |
415 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
416 |
|
- Implemented new, improved notification system |
417 |
|
- fixed compilation errors regarding OSX |
418 |
|
(patch by Toshi Nagata) |
419 |
|
- implemented instruments database |
420 |
|
- added support for escape sequences to the instruments database |
421 |
|
- added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing |
422 |
|
within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins), |
423 |
|
you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on |
424 |
|
startup, added a new LSCP command: |
425 |
|
"EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>" |
426 |
|
to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the |
427 |
|
given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile |
428 |
|
time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir |
429 |
|
- added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted |
430 |
|
in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing |
431 |
|
without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions |
432 |
|
wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s) |
433 |
|
- fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling |
434 |
|
policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for |
435 |
|
thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT |
436 |
|
threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of |
437 |
|
setting their own policy and priority |
438 |
|
- minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the |
439 |
|
main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish |
440 |
|
its output |
441 |
|
- fixed some minor memory leaks |
442 |
|
- reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for |
443 |
|
enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2) |
444 |
|
- minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC |
445 |
|
register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime) |
446 |
|
- POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden |
447 |
|
|
448 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
449 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
450 |
|
|
451 |
|
* audio driver: |
452 |
|
- the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct |
453 |
|
parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card |
454 |
|
(patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended) |
455 |
|
|
456 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
457 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
458 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
459 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
460 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
461 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
462 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
463 |
|
command |
464 |
|
- EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash |
465 |
|
- handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB) |
466 |
|
- EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level |
467 |
|
above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase |
468 |
|
even if sustain is 100% |
469 |
|
- more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause |
470 |
|
noises or crashes |
471 |
|
- minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
472 |
|
- fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was |
473 |
|
supplied to the configure script (fixes #46) |
474 |
|
- disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS |
475 |
|
instead of a fix value |
476 |
|
- behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode), |
477 |
|
127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really |
478 |
|
changed |
479 |
|
|
480 |
|
* LSCP server: |
481 |
|
- fixed compile time error for old Bison versions |
482 |
|
(i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata) |
483 |
|
- parser now supports extended ASCII character set |
484 |
|
(up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents) |
485 |
|
- filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape |
486 |
|
sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r, |
487 |
|
\f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII |
488 |
|
code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24) |
489 |
|
- the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at |
490 |
|
least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description): |
491 |
|
"ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT", |
492 |
|
"SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND", |
493 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME", |
494 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME", |
495 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS", |
496 |
|
"FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES" |
497 |
|
- returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error |
498 |
|
occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible |
499 |
|
character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities) |
500 |
|
- made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale |
501 |
|
settings |
502 |
|
- bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists |
503 |
|
of strings were treated as being one string containing commas |
504 |
|
(fixes #57) |
505 |
|
|
506 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
507 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
508 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
509 |
|
channel audio output device" |
510 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine |
511 |
|
on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device |
512 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI |
513 |
|
device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal |
514 |
|
to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected. |
515 |
|
- The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering |
516 |
|
the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for |
517 |
|
unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE). |
518 |
|
- The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect. |
519 |
|
- notification events were not been sent for some sampler |
520 |
|
channel changes |
521 |
|
- added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed |
522 |
|
audio output channels and MIDI input ports |
523 |
|
- the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying |
524 |
|
an audio output device |
525 |
|
- files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded |
526 |
|
|
527 |
|
* test cases: |
528 |
|
- updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while) |
529 |
|
|
530 |
|
Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006) |
531 |
|
|
532 |
|
* packaging changes: |
533 |
|
- changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig |
534 |
|
to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler; |
535 |
|
to linuxsampler.spec (RPM) |
536 |
- install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party |

|
- added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO |
541 |
|
implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a |
542 |
|
di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden |
543 |
|
with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x |
544 |
|
configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation) |
545 |
|
- do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already |
546 |
|
provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS) |
547 |
|
- added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI |
548 |
|
messages |
549 |
|
- added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and |
550 |
|

|
- extensive synthesis optimization |
556 |
|
(reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter |
557 |
|
prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting |
558 |
|
each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses |
559 |
|
constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is |
560 |
|
linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless |
561 |
|
--disable-interpolate-volume is set.) |
562 |
- fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters |
- fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters |
563 |
|
- improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the |
564 |
|
following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff |
565 |
|
controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity |
566 |
|
curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales |
567 |
|
cutoff frequency instead of resonance. |
568 |
|
- added support for gig parameter Resonance. |
569 |
|
- fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky) |
570 |
|
- added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping |
571 |
|
which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation |
572 |
|
- EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more |
573 |
|
accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage |
574 |
|
ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack |
575 |
|
time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks. |
576 |
|
- fixed pitch changes larger than one octave |
577 |
|
- fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time |
578 |
|
- implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'): |
579 |
|
all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for |
580 |
|
altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento |
581 |
|
mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode |
582 |
|
- fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig |
583 |
|
parameter) and crossfade |
584 |
|
- added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig |
585 |
|
parameter |
586 |
|
- added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change |
587 |
|
messages |
588 |
|
- sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion |
589 |
|
instead of the wave chunk |
590 |
|
- fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits |
591 |
|
not equal to a power of two |
592 |
|
- reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more |
593 |
|
accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject |
594 |
|
and lowpass turbo. |
595 |
|
- real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to |
596 |
|
16 bits anymore |
597 |
|
- support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic |
598 |
|
aftertouch) |
599 |
|
- LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of |
600 |
|
amplifying from 0) |
601 |
|
|
602 |
|
* LSCP server: |
603 |
|
- fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20) |
604 |
|
- fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of |
605 |
|
network activity (fixes bug #26) |
606 |
|
- fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters |
607 |
|
(e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'") |
608 |
|
|
609 |
|
* audio driver: |
610 |
|
- added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe) |
611 |
|
|
612 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
613 |
|
- fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx |
614 |
|
messages several times instead of once |
615 |
|
- API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps |
616 |
|
for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers) |
617 |
|
- added checks for bad MIDI data |
618 |
|
|
619 |
|
* linuxsampler application: |
620 |
|
- show available sampler engine types on startup |
621 |
|
|
