|
* 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 |
|
- new notification events for tracking audio/MIDI device changes, |
| 21 |
|
MIDI instrument map changes and MIDI instrument changes |
| 22 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
| 23 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
| 24 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
| 25 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
| 26 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
| 27 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
| 28 |
|
controllers |
| 29 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
| 30 |
|
|
| 31 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
| 32 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
| 33 |
|
|
| 34 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
| 35 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
| 36 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
| 37 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
| 38 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
| 39 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
| 40 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
| 41 |
|
command |
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
| 44 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
| 45 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
| 46 |
|
channel audio output device" |
| 47 |

Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006) |
| 49 |
|
|
| 50 |
|
* packaging changes: |
| 51 |
|
- changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig |
| 52 |
|
to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler; |
| 53 |
|
to linuxsampler.spec (RPM) |
| 54 |
|
- install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party |
| 55 |
|
applications to link against liblinuxsampler |
| 56 |
|
- liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs' |
| 57 |
|
(Doxygen required) |
| 58 |
|
- added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO |
| 59 |
|
implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a |
| 60 |
|
di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden |
| 61 |
|
with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x |
| 62 |
|
configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation) |
| 63 |
|
- do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already |
| 64 |
|
provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS) |
| 65 |
|
- added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI |
| 66 |
|
messages |
| 67 |
|
- added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and |
| 68 |
|
MIDI drivers |
| 69 |
|
- fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC |
| 70 |
|
(patch by Ebrahim Mayat) |
| 71 |
|
|
| 72 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
| 73 |
|
- extensive synthesis optimization |
| 74 |
|
(reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter |
| 75 |
|
prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting |
| 76 |
|
each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses |
| 77 |
|
constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is |
| 78 |
|
linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless |
| 79 |
|
--disable-interpolate-volume is set.) |
| 80 |
|
- fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters |
| 81 |
|
- improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the |
| 82 |
|
following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff |
| 83 |
|
controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity |
| 84 |
|
curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales |
| 85 |
|
cutoff frequency instead of resonance. |
| 86 |
|
- added support for gig parameter Resonance. |
| 87 |
|
- fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky) |
| 88 |
|
- added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping |
| 89 |
|
which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation |
| 90 |
|
- EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more |
| 91 |
|
accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage |
| 92 |
|
ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack |
| 93 |
|
time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks. |
| 94 |
|
- fixed pitch changes larger than one octave |
| 95 |
|
- fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time |
| 96 |
|
- implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'): |
| 97 |
|
all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for |
| 98 |
|
altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento |
| 99 |
|
mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode |
| 100 |
|
- fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig |
| 101 |
|
parameter) and crossfade |
| 102 |
|
- added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig |
| 103 |
|
parameter |
| 104 |
|
- added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change |
| 105 |
|
messages |
| 106 |
|
- sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion |
| 107 |
|
instead of the wave chunk |
| 108 |
|
- fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits |
| 109 |
|
not equal to a power of two |
| 110 |
|
- reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more |
| 111 |
|
accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject |
| 112 |
|
and lowpass turbo. |
| 113 |
|
- real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to |
| 114 |
|
16 bits anymore |
| 115 |
|
- support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic |
| 116 |
|
aftertouch) |
| 117 |
|
- LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of |
| 118 |
|
amplifying from 0) |
| 119 |
|
|
| 120 |
|
* LSCP server: |
| 121 |
|
- fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20) |
| 122 |
|
- fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of |
| 123 |
|
network activity (fixes bug #26) |
| 124 |
|
- fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters |
| 125 |
|
(e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'") |
| 126 |
|
|
| 127 |
|
* audio driver: |
| 128 |
|
- added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe) |
| 129 |
|
|
| 130 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
| 131 |
|
- fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx |
| 132 |
|
messages several times instead of once |
| 133 |
|
- API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps |
| 134 |
|
for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers) |
| 135 |
|
- added checks for bad MIDI data |
| 136 |
|
|
| 137 |
|
* linuxsampler application: |
| 138 |
|
- show available sampler engine types on startup |
| 139 |
|
|
| 140 |
|
* general changes: |
| 141 |
|
- support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new |
| 142 |
|
LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new |
| 143 |
|
fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were |
| 144 |
|
introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console |
| 145 |
|
(patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option |
| 146 |
|
--enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the |
| 147 |
|
processing of muted channels. |
| 148 |
|
- support for sostenuto pedal |
| 149 |
|
- support for monitoring the total number of active voices |
| 150 |
|
(new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX, |
| 151 |
|
SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT) |
| 152 |
|
- fixed some memory management errors |
| 153 |
|
- fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when |
| 154 |
|
LSCP commands were executed |
| 155 |
|
- fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same |
| 156 |
|
sampler channel (fixes bug #36) |
| 157 |
|
|
| 158 |
|
Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005) |
| 159 |
|
|
| 160 |
|
* packaging changes: |
| 161 |
|
- fixed compilation with gcc 4.0 |
| 162 |
|
|
| 163 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
| 164 |
|
- LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was |
| 165 |
|
disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix) |
| 166 |
|
- if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME) |
| 167 |
|
for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice |
| 168 |
|
stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning |
| 169 |
|
about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down |
| 170 |
|
appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection |
| 171 |
