The volume coefficient is + linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless + --disable-interpolate-volume is set.) + - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters + - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the + following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff + controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity + curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales + cutoff frequency instead of resonance. + - filter fine tuning: calculation of cutoff frequency and + bandwidth improved. Removed use of "BasicBPFilter". Changed + bandpass filter from constant peak to constant skirt. Added + support for gig parameter Resonance. + - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky) + - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping + which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation + - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more + accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage + ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack + time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks. + - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave + - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time + - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'): + all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for + altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento + mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode + - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig + parameter) and crossfade + - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig + parameter + - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change + messages + + * LSCP server: + - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20) + - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of + network activity (fixes bug #26) + - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters + (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'") + + * audio driver: + - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe) + + * MIDI driver: + - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx + messages several times instead of once + + * general changes: + - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new + LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new + fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were + introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console + (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option + --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the + processing of muted channels. + - support for sostenuto pedal + - support for monitoring the total number of active voices + (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX, + SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT) + - fixed some memory management errors + - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when + LSCP commands were executed + Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005) * packaging changes:
