This release comes with a bunch of important new features. We implemented |
4 |
|
a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not only |
5 |
|
allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program |
6 |
|
change number (and bank select number), it also allows further parameters |
7 |
|
like whether the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed |
8 |
|
(and likewise freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of |
9 |
|
effect sends for each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI |
10 |
|
controller for controlling the effect send level in realtime and can |
11 |
|
flexible be routed to some of the sampler's audio output channel, i.e. |
12 |
|
to a dedicated one for a certain effect type. The new instruments |
13 |
|
database allows you to keep track even of largest instrument library |
14 |
|
collections. You can order them in categories and search by various |
15 |
|
criteria. The sampler now allows third party applications to offer so |
16 |
|
called 'instrument editor plugins' which the sampler can use to spawn |
17 |
|
an appropriate instrument editor application for a selected instrument |
18 |
|
and for allowing to edit instruments with such an external editor |
19 |
|
application on-the-fly, that is all modifications made with the editor |
20 |
|
will immediately be audible with the sampler. No need to reload instrument |
21 |
|
files anymore. Checkout our brand new instrument editor application called |
22 |
|
'gigedit' which you can use for this feature. Loading huge instruments may |
23 |
|
take a long time, that's why the sampler now allows to play an instrument |
24 |
|
while loading. That way you can i.e. play and hold notes on the keyboard |
25 |
|
while loading a new instrument on the same sampler channel at the same |
26 |
|
time. Beside these new features, you can find the common huge list of bug |
27 |
|
fixes and quality improvements. |
