|
- only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to |
5 |
|
the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in) |
6 |
|
|
7 |
|
* general changes: |
8 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
9 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
10 |
|
(MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary |
11 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
12 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
13 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
14 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
15 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
16 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
17 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
18 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
19 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
20 |
|
the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
21 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
22 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
23 |
|
drumkits is possible |
24 |
|
- new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices, |
25 |
|
MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume. |
26 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
27 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
28 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
29 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
30 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
31 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
32 |
|
controllers |
33 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
34 |
|
- Implemented new, improved notification system |
35 |
|
- fixed compilation errors regarding OSX |
36 |

|
* MIDI driver: |
39 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
40 |
|
|
41 |
|
* audio driver: |
42 |
|
- the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct |
43 |
|
parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card |
44 |
|
(patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended) |
45 |
|
|
46 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
47 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
48 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
49 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
50 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
51 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
52 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
53 |
|
command |
54 |
|
- EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash |
55 |
|
- handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB) |
56 |
|
- EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level |
57 |
|
above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase |
58 |
|
even if sustain is 100% |
59 |
|
- more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause |
60 |
|
noises or crashes |
61 |
|
- minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
62 |
|
|
63 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
64 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
65 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
66 |
|
channel audio output device" |

73 |
|
to linuxsampler.spec (RPM) |

|
- added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO |
79 |
|
implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a |
80 |
|
di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden |
81 |
|
with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x |
82 |
|
configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation) |
83 |
|
- do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already |
84 |
|
provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS) |
85 |
|
- added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI |
86 |
|
messages |
87 |
|
- added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and |
88 |
|
MIDI drivers |

|
- extensive synthesis optimization |
94 |
|
(reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter |
95 |
|
prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting |
96 |
|
each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses |
97 |
|
constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is |
98 |
|
linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless |
99 |
|
--disable-interpolate-volume is set.) |
100 |
- fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters |
- fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters |
101 |
|
- improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the |
102 |
|
following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff |
103 |
|
controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity |
104 |
|
curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales |
105 |
|
cutoff frequency instead of resonance. |
106 |
|
- added support for gig parameter Resonance. |
107 |
|
- fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky) |
108 |
|
- added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping |
109 |
|
which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation |
110 |
|
- EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more |
111 |
|
accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage |
112 |
|
ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack |
113 |
|
time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks. |
114 |
|
- fixed pitch changes larger than one octave |
115 |
|
- fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time |
116 |
|
- implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'): |
117 |
|
all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for |
118 |
|
altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento |
119 |
|
mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode |
120 |
|
- fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig |
121 |
|
parameter) and crossfade |
122 |
|
- added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig |
123 |
|
parameter |
124 |
|
- added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change |
125 |
|
messages |
126 |
|
- sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion |
127 |
|
instead of the wave chunk |
128 |
|
- fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits |
129 |
|
not equal to a power of two |
130 |
|
- reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more |
131 |
|
accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject |
132 |
|
and lowpass turbo. |
133 |
|
- real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to |
134 |
|
16 bits anymore |
135 |
|
- support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic |
136 |
|
aftertouch) |
137 |
|
- LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of |
138 |
|
amplifying from 0) |
139 |

142 |
|
- fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of |
143 |
|
network activity (fixes bug #26) |
144 |
|
- fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters |
145 |
|
(e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'") |
146 |
|
|
147 |
|
* audio driver: |
148 |
|
- added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe) |
149 |
|
|
150 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
151 |
|
- fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx |
152 |
|
messages several times instead of once |
153 |
|
- API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps |
154 |
|
for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers) |
155 |
|
- added checks for bad MIDI data |
156 |
|
|
157 |
|
* linuxsampler application: |
158 |
|
- show available sampler engine types on startup |
