2
3 * packaging changes:
4 - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5 - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK

22 - modernized configure script
23 - fixed linkage error when building with
24 LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)

40
41 * general changes:
42 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
43 the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
44 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
45 respective profiling code is currently broken
46 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
47 "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
48 where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
49 (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
50 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
51 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
52 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
53 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
54 the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
55 effect type is)
56 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
57 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
58 the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
59 effect type is)
60 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
61 - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
62 (as suggested by Alex Stone)
63 - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
64 - experimental support for per voice equalization
65 - added command line option --exec-after-init
66 - Introduced new C++ API method:
67 EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
68 allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
69 instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
70 instruments for example are splitted over several files like
71 "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
72 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
73 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
74 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
75 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
76 - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
77 - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
78 applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
79 series (#182)
80 - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
81 used it everywhere appropriate
82 - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
83 - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
84 SysEx way).
85 - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
86 and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
87 used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
88 - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
89 - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
90 added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
91 C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
92 as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
93 backward compatibility).
94 - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
95 unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
96 - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
97 - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
98 sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
99 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
100 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
101 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
102 - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
103 polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
104 supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
105 used so far).
106 - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
107 code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
108 gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
109 (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
110
111 * Gigasampler format engine:
112 - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
113 - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
114 dimension zones is not a power of two
115 - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
116 key
117 - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
118 - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
119 - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
120 filter parameters in each sub fragment)
121 - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
122 min value
123 - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
124 doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
125 - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
126 - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
127 - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
128 conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
129
130 * SFZ format engine:
131 - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
132 - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators

304 - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
305 - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
306 - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
307 changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
308 incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
309 - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state

326 Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
327 - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
328 - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
329 port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
330 - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
331 and event
332 - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin

350 - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
351 the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
352 (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
353 - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
354 - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
355 - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
356 virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.

358 - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
359 - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
360 - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
361 - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver

406 - added LSCP command "SET FX_SEND EFFECT <sampler_channel>
407 <fx_send_id> <effect_chain> <chain_pos>"
408 - added LSCP command "REMOVE FX_SEND EFFECT <sampler_channel> <fx_send_id>"
409 - added LSCP commands "SUBSCRIBE EFFECT_INSTANCE_COUNT",
410 "SUBSCRIBE EFFECT_INSTANCE_INFO", "SUBSCRIBE SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN_COUNT",
411 "SUBSCRIBE SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN_INFO"
412 - provide comprehensive error messages on LSCP syntax errors
413 (suggesting expected next non-terminal symbols)
414
415 * LSCP shell:
416 - Added support for auto correction of obvious and trivial syntax mistakes.
417 - Added support for auto completion by tab key.
418 - Show currently available auto completion while typing.
419 - Added support for browsing command history with up / down keys.
420 - Show all possible next symbols immediately right to the current command
421 line while typing (no double tab required for this feature, as it would
422 be the case in other shells).
423 - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
424 - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
425 automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
426 as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command
427 line.
428
429 * Real-time instrument scripts:
430 - Implemented built-in script array variable %CC.
431 - Implemented built-in script int variable $CC_NUM.
432 - Implemented built-in script int variable $EVENT_NOTE.

442 - Implemented built-in script int variable $EVENT_ID.
443 - Implemented built-in script function "ignore_event()"
444 - Implemented built-in script function "ignore_controller()" (may have one
445 or no argument).
446
447 * Bug fixes:
448 - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
449 - minor valgrind fixes
450 - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
451 channel to a different engine type
452 - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
453 type while an instrument load was in progress
454 - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
455 a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
456 - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
457 refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
458 - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
459 wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
460 - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
461 - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
462 it caused hanging threads on Windows
463 - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
464 after MIDI/audio device creation failure
465 - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
466 instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
467 took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
468 instrument was completely reloaded again.
469 - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
470 sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
471 project, slightly adjusted)
472 - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
473 which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
474 - fixed bug #162
475 - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
476 multiple paths (#165)
477 - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
478 - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
479 (#176)
480 - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
481 - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
482 - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
483 - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
484 introduced in previous fix)
485 - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
486 playing a note in a key group
487 - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
488 (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
489 - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
490 crashes and noise on such transitions).
491 - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
492 (fixes #208)
493 - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
494 "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
495 practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
496 shell's auto completion feature).
497
498 Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
499
500 * packaging changes:
501 - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
502 causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
503 "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
504 (patch by Alexis Ballier)
505 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
506 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
507 - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
508 - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
509 - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
510 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
511 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
512 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
513 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
514 directory above)
515 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
516 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
517 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
518 - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
519
520 * general changes:
521 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
522 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
523 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
524 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
525 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
526 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
527 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
528 unnecessarily long after an update
529 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
530 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
531 of gigedit)
532 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
533 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
534 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
535 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
536 implementation, which is usually faster)
537 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
538 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
539 VST plugin
540 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
541 only when there are actual changes
542 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
543 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
544 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
545 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
546 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
547 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
548 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
549 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
550 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
551 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
552 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
553 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
554 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
555 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
556 model more strictly
557 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
558 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
559 when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
560 gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
561 - updated linuxsampler man page
562
563 * audio driver:
564 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
565 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
566 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
567 opposed to the LSCP specs
568 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
569 reflected the wrong value
570 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
571 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
572 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
573 jack_client_new
574 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
575 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
576 previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
577 (fixes #117)
578 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
579 win64)
580 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
581 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
582 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
583 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
584 energyXT)
585 - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
586 stereo
587 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
588 stored in the plugin state
589 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
590 AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
591 (if available)
592 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
593 exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
594
595 * MIDI driver:
596 - added JACK MIDI driver
597 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
598 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
599 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
600 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
601 CoreMidi or AU
602 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
603 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
604 moving the logic to a non-RT thread
605 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
606
607 * instruments database:
608 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
609 to the instruments database
610 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
611 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
612 in the instruments database
613 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
614 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
615 instrument database compilable
616 - added instrument database support on Windows
617 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
618 the instruments DB file is located in
619 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
620 databases for each windows user
621 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
622 and then creates an empty DB
623 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
624
625 * Gigasampler format engine:
626 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
627 while notes were playing
628 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
629 isn't running
630 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
631 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
632 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
633 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
634 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
635 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
636 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
637 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
638 on)
639 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
640 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
641 be played
642 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
643 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
644 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
645 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
646 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
647 defined for the sampler
648 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
649 audio thread isn't running
650 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
651 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
652 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
653 sampler engine anymore
654 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
655 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
656 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
657 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
658 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
659 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
660 instrument-level gig parameters
661 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
662 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
663 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
664 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
665 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
666 note was silent
667 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
668 same time a new instrument was loading
669
670 * LSCP server:
671 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
672 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
673 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
674 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
675 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
676 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
677 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
678 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
679 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
680 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
681 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
682 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
683 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
684 was incorrect
685 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
686 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
687 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
688 be triggered respectively
689 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
690 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
691 which will be triggered respectively
692 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
693 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
694 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
695 - hard close of all sockets on exit
696 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
697 driver
698
699 * Bug fixes:
700 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
701 to start instrument loading after another channel
702 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
703 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
704 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
705 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
706 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
707 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
708 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
709 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
710 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
711 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
712 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
713 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
714 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
715 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
716 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
717 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
718 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
719 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
720 plugin was unloaded
721 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
722 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
723 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
724 Windows
725
726
727 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
728
729 * packaging changes:
730 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
731 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
732 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
733 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
734
735 * general changes:
736 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
737 editor closed
738 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
739 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
740 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
741 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
742 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
743 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
744 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
745 bugs.
746 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
747 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
748 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
749 unaligned 32bit read and shift
750 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
751 output via ASIO)
752 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
753 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
754 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
755 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
756
757 * AUDIO driver:
758 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
759
760 * MIDI driver:
761 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
762
763 * LSCP server:
764 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
765 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
766 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
767 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
768 apostrophes as well
769 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
770 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
771 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
772 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
773 running on
774
775 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
776
777 * packaging changes:
778 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
779 API header files anymore
780 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
781 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
782 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
783 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
784 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
785 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
786 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
787 parameters
788 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
789 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
790 are now in global_private.h
791 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
792 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
793 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
794
795 * general changes:
796 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
797 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
798 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
799 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
800 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
801 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
802 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
803 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
804 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
805 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
806 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
807 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
808 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
809 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
810 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
811 drumkits is possible
812 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
813 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
814 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
815 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
816 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
817 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
818 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
819 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
820 controllers
821 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
822 - Implemented new, improved notification system
823 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
824 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
825 - implemented instruments database
826 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
827 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
828 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
829 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
830 startup, added a new LSCP command:
831 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
832 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
833 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
834 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
835 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
836 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
837 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
838 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
839 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
840 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
841 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
842 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
843 setting their own policy and priority
844 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
845 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
846 its output
847 - fixed some minor memory leaks
848 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
849 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
850 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
851 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
852 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
853
854 * MIDI driver:
855 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
856
857 * audio driver:
858 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
859 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
860 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
861
862 * Gigasampler format engine:
863 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
864 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
865 voice starvation for some gigs)
866 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
867 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
868 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
869 command
870 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
871 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
872 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
873 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
874 even if sustain is 100%
875 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
876 noises or crashes
877 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
878 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
879 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
880 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
881 instead of a fix value
882 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
883 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
884 changed
885
886 * LSCP server:
887 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
888 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
889 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
890 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
891 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
892 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
893 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
894 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
895 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
896 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
897 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
898 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
899 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
900 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
901 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
902 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
903 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
904 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
905 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
906 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
907 settings
908 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
909 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
910 (fixes #57)
911
912 * Bug fixes:
913 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
914 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
915 channel audio output device"
916 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
917 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
918 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
919 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
920 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
921 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
922 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
923 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
924 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
925 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
926 channel changes
927 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
928 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
929 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
930 an audio output device
931 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
932
933 * test cases:
934 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
935
936 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
937
938 * packaging changes:
939 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
940 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
941 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
942 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
943 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
944 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
945 (Doxygen required)
946 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
947 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
948 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
949 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
950 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
951 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
952 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
953 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
954 messages
955 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
956 MIDI drivers
957 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
958 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
959
960 * Gigasampler format engine:
961 - extensive synthesis optimization
962 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
963 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
964 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
965 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
966 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
967 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
968 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
969 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
970 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
971 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
972 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
973 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
974 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
975 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
976 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
977 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
978 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
979 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
980 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
981 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
982 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
983 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
984 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
985 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
986 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
987 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
988 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
989 parameter) and crossfade
990 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
991 parameter
992 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
993 messages
994 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
995 instead of the wave chunk
996 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
997 not equal to a power of two
998 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
999 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1000 and lowpass turbo.
1001 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1002 16 bits anymore
1003 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1004 aftertouch)
1005 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1006 amplifying from 0)
1007
1008 * LSCP server:
1009 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
1010 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
1011 network activity (fixes bug #26)
1012 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
1013 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
1014
1015 * audio driver:
1016 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
1017
1018 * MIDI driver:
1019 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
1020 messages several times instead of once
1021 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
1022 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
1023 - added checks for bad MIDI data
1024
1025 * linuxsampler application:
1026 - show available sampler engine types on startup
1027
1028 * general changes:
1029 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
1030 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
1031 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
1032 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
1033 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
1034 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
1035 processing of muted channels.
1036 - support for sostenuto pedal
1037 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
1038 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
1039 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
1040 - fixed some memory management errors
1041 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
1042 LSCP commands were executed
1043 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
1044 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
1045
1046 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
1047
1048 * packaging changes:
1049 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
1050
1051 * Gigasampler format engine:
1052 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
1053 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
1054 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
1055 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
1056 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
1057 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
1058 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
1059
1060 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
1061
1062 * packaging changes:
1063 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
1064 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
1065 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
1066 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
1067 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
1068 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
1069 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
1070
1071 * Gigasampler format engine:
1072 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
1073 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
1074 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
1075 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
1076 note-off velocity.
1077 - revised voice stealing
1078 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
1079 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
1080 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
1081 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
1082 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
1083 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
1084 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
1085 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
1086 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
1087 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
1088 instrument or audio output device change
1089
1090 * LSCP server:
1091 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
1092 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
1093 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
1094
1095 * linuxsampler application:
1096 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
1097 default IP address and port of LSCP server
1098
1099 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
1100
1101 * initial release
