Version CVS HEAD (?) * packaging changes: - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party applications to link against liblinuxsampler - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs' (Doxygen required) - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation) - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS) * Gigasampler format engine: - extensive synthesis optimization (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses constant pitch and filter coefficients. 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 * 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'") * 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) Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005) * packaging changes: - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0 * Gigasampler format engine: - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix) - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME) for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005) * packaging changes: - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers) - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended) - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs' (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option) * Gigasampler format engine: - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity, note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of note-off velocity. - revised voice stealing (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing) - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment instead of when the respective voice is actually launched (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group - this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message) - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages) - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on instrument or audio output device change * LSCP server: - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19) - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events) * linuxsampler application: - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override default IP address and port of LSCP server Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005) * initial release
