Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009) |
| 2 |
|
|
| 3 |
|
This is the first release which allows the sampler to be used as audio |
| 4 |
|
host plugin, namely supporting the standards VST, AU, DSSI and LV2. The |
| 5 |
|
sampler's limits for max. voices & disk streams can now be altered at |
| 6 |
|
runtime by frontends, no need to recompile the sampler anymore. The Mac |
| 7 |
|
version now also supports CoreAudio as audio driver. The Windows version |
| 8 |
|
finally supports the sampler's instruments DB feature as well, however |
| 9 |
|
expect it still to be unstable at this point. Along to the already |
| 10 |
|
existing JACK audio driver, Jack MIDI support has been added in this |
| 11 |
|
release. The sampler allows frontends now basic MIDI control, that is to |
| 12 |
|
monitor incoming MIDI data on MIDI input devices and sampler channels and |
| 13 |
|
to send note-on and note-off MIDI events to sampler channels, which |
| 14 |
|
allows frontends to provide a virtual MIDI keyboard to the user. Besides |
| 15 |
|
these major changes there were countless bugfixes and optimizations. |

Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007) |
| 18 |
|
|
| 19 |
|
This is the first release for the Windows platform, providing a MME MIDI |
| 20 |
|
input driver and ASIO audio output driver. Note that the instruments DB |
| 21 |
|
feature is not yet available for Windows systems, since the respective |
| 22 |
|
code base has yet to be ported. Needless to say that there still might be |
| 23 |
|
plenty of issues on MS systems. Beside that support for Windows, this is |
| 24 |
|
merely a bugfix release (i.e. fixing one serious crash) with only minor |
| 25 |
|
new features. |

Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007) |
| 28 |
|
|
| 29 |
|
This release comes with a bunch of important new features. We implemented |
| 30 |
|
a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not only |
| 31 |
|
allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program |
| 32 |
|
change number (and bank select number), it also allows further parameters |
| 33 |
|
like whether the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed |
| 34 |
|
(and likewise freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of |
| 35 |
|
effect sends for each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI |
| 36 |
|
controller for controlling the effect send level in realtime and can |
| 37 |
|
flexible be routed to some of the sampler's audio output channel, i.e. |
| 38 |
|
to a dedicated one for a certain effect type. The new instruments |
| 39 |
|
database allows you to keep track even of largest instrument library |
| 40 |
|
collections. You can order them in categories and search by various |
| 41 |
|
criteria. The sampler now allows third party applications to offer so |
| 42 |
|
called 'instrument editor plugins' which the sampler can use to spawn |
| 43 |
|
an appropriate instrument editor application for a selected instrument |
| 44 |
|
and for allowing to edit instruments with such an external editor |
| 45 |
|
application on-the-fly, that is all modifications made with the editor |
| 46 |
|
will immediately be audible with the sampler. No need to reload instrument |
| 47 |
|
files anymore. Checkout our brand new instrument editor application called |
| 48 |
|
'gigedit' which you can use for this feature. Loading huge instruments may |
| 49 |
|
take a long time, that's why the sampler now allows to play an instrument |
| 50 |
|
while loading. That way you can i.e. play and hold notes on the keyboard |
| 51 |
|
while loading a new instrument on the same sampler channel at the same |
| 52 |
|
time. Beside these new features, you can find the common huge list of bug |
| 53 |
|
fixes and quality improvements. |
