53
54 * general changes:
55 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
56 the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
57 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
58 respective profiling code is currently broken
59 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
60 "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
61 where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
62 (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
63 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
64 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
65 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
66 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
67 the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
68 effect type is)
69 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
70 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
71 the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
72 effect type is)
73 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
74 - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
75 (as suggested by Alex Stone)
76 - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
77 - experimental support for per voice equalization
78 - added command line option --exec-after-init
79 - Introduced new C++ API method:
80 EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
81 allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
82 instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
83 instruments for example are splitted over several files like
84 "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
85 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
86 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
87 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
88 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
89 - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
90 - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
91 applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
92 series (#182)
93 - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
94 used it everywhere appropriate
95 - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
96 - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
97 SysEx way).
98 - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
99 and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
100 used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
101 - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
102 - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
103 added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
104 C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
105 as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
106 backward compatibility).
107 - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
108 unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
109 - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
110 - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
111 sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
112 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
113 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
114 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
115 - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
116 polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
117 supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
118 used so far).
119 - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
120 code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
121 gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
122 (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
123
124 * Gigasampler format engine:
125 - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
126 - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
127 dimension zones is not a power of two
128 - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
129 key
130 - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
131 - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
132 - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
133 filter parameters in each sub fragment)
134 - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
135 min value
136 - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
137 doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
138 - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
139 - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
140 - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
141 conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
142 - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
143
144 * SFZ format engine:

308
309 * SoundFont format engine:
310 - Initial implementation (not usable yet)

321 - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
322 changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
323 incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
324 - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
325 - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
326 64 bit Windows

336 loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
337 similar fix was for Windows)
338 - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
339 - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present

341 Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
342 - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
343 - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
344 port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.

346 and event
347 - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin

351 - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac
352 - VST: implemented retrieval and switching of programs using the
353 sampler's internal MIDI instrument mapping system
354
355 * Instrument editor interface:
356 - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
357 informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
358 spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively

360
361 * MIDI driver:
362 - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
363 the ALSA sequencer client name

367 - MME: removed compiler warning
368 - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
369 which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
370 to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
371 - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
372 the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
373 (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
374 - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
375 - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
376 - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
377 virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.
378 - Bugfix in VirtualMidiDevice: process note on with velocity 0 as note off.
379 - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
380 - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
381 - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
382 - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
383 parameter "AUTO_BIND").

501 * Bug fixes:
502 - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
503 - minor valgrind fixes
504 - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
505 channel to a different engine type
506 - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
507 type while an instrument load was in progress
508 - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
509 a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
510 - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
511 refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
512 - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
513 wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
514 - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
515 - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
516 it caused hanging threads on Windows
517 - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
518 after MIDI/audio device creation failure
519 - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
520 instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
521 took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
522 instrument was completely reloaded again.
523 - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
524 sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
525 project, slightly adjusted)
526 - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
527 which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
528 - fixed bug #162

540 playing a note in a key group
541 - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
542 (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
543 - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
544 crashes and noise on such transitions).
545 - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
546 (fixes #208)
547 - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
548 "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
549 practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
550 shell's auto completion feature).
551 - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
552 after each other (fixes #231).
553
554 Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
555
556 * packaging changes:
557 - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
558 causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
559 "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
560 (patch by Alexis Ballier)
561 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
562 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
563 - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
564 - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
565 - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
566 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
567 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
568 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
569 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
570 directory above)
571 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
572 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
573 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
574 - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
575
576 * general changes:
577 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
578 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
579 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
580 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
581 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
582 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
583 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
584 unnecessarily long after an update
585 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
586 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
587 of gigedit)
588 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
589 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
590 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
591 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
592 implementation, which is usually faster)
593 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
594 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
595 VST plugin
596 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
597 only when there are actual changes
598 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
599 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
600 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
601 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
602 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
603 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
604 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
605 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
606 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
607 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
608 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
609 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
610 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
611 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
612 model more strictly
613 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
614 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
615 when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
616 gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
617 - updated linuxsampler man page
618
619 * audio driver:
620 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
621 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
622 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
623 opposed to the LSCP specs
624 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
625 reflected the wrong value
626 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
627 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
628 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
629 jack_client_new
630 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
631 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
632 previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
633 (fixes #117)
634 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
635 win64)
636 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
637 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
638 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
639 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
640 energyXT)
641 - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
642 stereo
643 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
644 stored in the plugin state
645 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
646 AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
647 (if available)
648 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
649 exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
650
651 * MIDI driver:
652 - added JACK MIDI driver
653 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
654 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
655 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
656 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
657 CoreMidi or AU
658 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
659 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
660 moving the logic to a non-RT thread
661 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
662
663 * instruments database:
664 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
665 to the instruments database
666 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
667 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
668 in the instruments database
669 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
670 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
671 instrument database compilable
672 - added instrument database support on Windows
673 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
674 the instruments DB file is located in
675 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
676 databases for each windows user
677 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
678 and then creates an empty DB
679 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
680
681 * Gigasampler format engine:
682 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
683 while notes were playing
684 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
685 isn't running
686 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
687 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
688 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
689 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
690 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
691 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
692 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
693 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
694 on)
695 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
696 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
697 be played
698 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
699 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
700 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
701 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
702 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
703 defined for the sampler
704 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
705 audio thread isn't running
706 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
707 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
708 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
709 sampler engine anymore
710 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
711 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
712 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
713 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
714 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
715 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
716 instrument-level gig parameters
717 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
718 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
719 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
720 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
721 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
722 note was silent
723 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
724 same time a new instrument was loading
725
726 * LSCP server:
727 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
728 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
729 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
730 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
731 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
732 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
733 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
734 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
735 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
736 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
737 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
738 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
739 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
740 was incorrect
741 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
742 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
743 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
744 be triggered respectively
745 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
746 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
747 which will be triggered respectively
748 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
749 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
750 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
751 - hard close of all sockets on exit
752 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
753 driver
754
755 * Bug fixes:
756 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
757 to start instrument loading after another channel
758 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
759 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
760 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
761 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
762 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
763 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
764 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
765 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
766 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
767 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
768 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
769 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
770 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
771 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
772 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
773 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
774 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
775 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
776 plugin was unloaded
777 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
778 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
779 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
780 Windows
781
782
783 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
784
785 * packaging changes:
786 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
787 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
788 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
789 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
790
791 * general changes:
792 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
793 editor closed
794 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
795 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
796 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
797 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
798 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
799 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
800 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
801 bugs.
802 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
803 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
804 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
805 unaligned 32bit read and shift
806 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
807 output via ASIO)
808 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
809 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
810 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
811 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
812
813 * AUDIO driver:
814 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
815
816 * MIDI driver:
817 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
818
819 * LSCP server:
820 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
821 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
822 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
823 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
824 apostrophes as well
825 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
826 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
827 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
828 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
829 running on
830
831 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
832
833 * packaging changes:
834 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
835 API header files anymore
836 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
837 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
838 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
839 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
840 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
841 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
842 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
843 parameters
844 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
845 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
846 are now in global_private.h
847 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
848 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
849 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
850
851 * general changes:
852 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
853 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
854 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
855 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
856 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
857 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
858 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
859 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
860 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
861 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
862 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
863 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
864 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
865 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
866 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
867 drumkits is possible
868 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
869 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
870 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
871 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
872 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
873 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
874 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
875 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
876 controllers
877 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
878 - Implemented new, improved notification system
879 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
880 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
881 - implemented instruments database
882 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
883 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
884 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
885 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
886 startup, added a new LSCP command:
887 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
888 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
889 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
890 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
891 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
892 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
893 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
894 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
895 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
896 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
897 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
898 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
899 setting their own policy and priority
900 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
901 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
902 its output
903 - fixed some minor memory leaks
904 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
905 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
906 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
907 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
908 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
909
910 * MIDI driver:
911 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
912
913 * audio driver:
914 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
915 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
916 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
917
918 * Gigasampler format engine:
919 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
920 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
921 voice starvation for some gigs)
922 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
923 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
924 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
925 command
926 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
927 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
928 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
929 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
930 even if sustain is 100%
931 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
932 noises or crashes
933 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
934 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
935 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
936 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
937 instead of a fix value
938 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
939 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
940 changed
941
942 * LSCP server:
943 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
944 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
945 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
946 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
947 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
948 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
949 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
950 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
951 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
952 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
953 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
954 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
955 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
956 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
957 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
958 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
959 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
960 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
961 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
962 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
963 settings
964 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
965 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
966 (fixes #57)
967
968 * Bug fixes:
969 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
970 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
971 channel audio output device"
972 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
973 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
974 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
975 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
976 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
977 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
978 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
979 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
980 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
981 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
982 channel changes
983 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
984 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
985 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
986 an audio output device
987 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
988
989 * test cases:
990 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
991
992 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
993
994 * packaging changes:
995 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
996 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
997 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
998 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
999 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
1000 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
1001 (Doxygen required)
1002 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
1003 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
1004 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
1005 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
1006 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
1007 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
1008 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
1009 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
1010 messages
1011 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
1012 MIDI drivers
1013 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
1014 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
1015
1016 * Gigasampler format engine:
1017 - extensive synthesis optimization
1018 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
1019 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
1020 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
1021 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
1022 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
1023 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
1024 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
1025 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
1026 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
1027 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
1028 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
1029 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
1030 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
1031 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
1032 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
1033 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
1034 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
1035 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
1036 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
1037 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
1038 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
1039 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
1040 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
1041 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
1042 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
1043 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
1044 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
1045 parameter) and crossfade
1046 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
1047 parameter
1048 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
1049 messages
1050 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
1051 instead of the wave chunk
1052 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
1053 not equal to a power of two
1054 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
1055 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1056 and lowpass turbo.
1057 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1058 16 bits anymore
1059 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1060 aftertouch)
1061 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1062 amplifying from 0)
1063
1064 * LSCP server:
1065 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
1066 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
1067 network activity (fixes bug #26)
1068 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
1069 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
1070
1071 * audio driver:
1072 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
1073
1074 * MIDI driver:
1075 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
1076 messages several times instead of once
1077 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
1078 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
1079 - added checks for bad MIDI data
1080
1081 * linuxsampler application:
1082 - show available sampler engine types on startup
1083
1084 * general changes:
1085 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
1086 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
1087 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
1088 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
1089 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
1090 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
1091 processing of muted channels.
1092 - support for sostenuto pedal
1093 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
1094 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
1095 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
1096 - fixed some memory management errors
1097 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
1098 LSCP commands were executed
1099 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
1100 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
1101
1102 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
1103
1104 * packaging changes:
1105 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
1106
1107 * Gigasampler format engine:
1108 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
1109 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
1110 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
1111 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
1112 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
1113 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
1114 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
1115
1116 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
1117
1118 * packaging changes:
1119 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
1120 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
1121 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
1122 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
1123 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
1124 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
1125 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
1126
1127 * Gigasampler format engine:
1128 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
1129 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
1130 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
1131 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
1132 note-off velocity.
1133 - revised voice stealing
1134 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
1135 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
1136 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
1137 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
1138 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
1139 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
1140 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
1141 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
1142 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
1143 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
1144 instrument or audio output device change
1145
1146 * LSCP server:
1147 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
1148 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
1149 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
1150
1151 * linuxsampler application:
1152 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
1153 default IP address and port of LSCP server
1154
1155 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
1156
1157 * initial release
