Version CVS HEAD (?) |

|
|
3 |
|
* general changes: |
4 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
5 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
6 |
|
(MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary |
7 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
8 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
9 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
10 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
11 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
12 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
13 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
14 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
15 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
16 |
|
the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
17 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
18 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
19 |
|
drumkits is possible |
20 |
|
- new notification events for tracking audio/MIDI device changes, |
21 |
|
MIDI instrument map changes and MIDI instrument changes |
22 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
23 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
24 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
25 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
26 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
27 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
28 |
|
controllers |
29 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
30 |
|
|
31 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
32 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
33 |
|
|
34 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
35 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
36 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
37 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
38 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
39 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
40 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
41 |
|
command |
42 |
|
- EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash |
43 |
|
- handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB) |
44 |
|
- EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level |
45 |
|
above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase |
46 |
|
even if sustain is 100% |
47 |
|
|
48 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
49 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
50 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
51 |
|
channel audio output device" |
52 |
|
|

|
Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006) |
54 |
|
|
55 |
|
* packaging changes: |
56 |
|
- changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig |
57 |
|
to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler; |
58 |
|
to linuxsampler.spec (RPM) |
59 |
|
- install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party |
60 |
|
applications to link against liblinuxsampler |
61 |
|
- liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs' |
62 |
|
(Doxygen required) |
63 |
|
- added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO |
64 |
|
implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a |
65 |
|
di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden |
66 |
|
with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x |
67 |
|
configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation) |
68 |
|
- do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already |
69 |
|
provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS) |
70 |
|
- added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI |
71 |
|
messages |
72 |
|
- added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and |
73 |
|
MIDI drivers |
74 |
|
- fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC |
75 |
|
(patch by Ebrahim Mayat) |
76 |
|
|
77 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
78 |
|
- extensive synthesis optimization |
79 |
|
(reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter |
80 |
|
prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting |
81 |
|
each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses |
82 |
|
constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is |
83 |
|
linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless |
84 |
|
--disable-interpolate-volume is set.) |
85 |
|
- fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters |
86 |
|
- improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the |
87 |
|
following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff |
88 |
|
controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity |
89 |
|
curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales |
90 |
|
cutoff frequency instead of resonance. |
91 |
|
- added support for gig parameter Resonance. |
92 |
|
- fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky) |
93 |
|
- added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping |
94 |
|
which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation |
95 |
|
- EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more |
96 |
|
accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage |
97 |
|
ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack |
98 |
|
time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks. |
99 |
|
- fixed pitch changes larger than one octave |
100 |
|
- fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time |
101 |
|
- implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'): |
102 |
|
all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for |
103 |
|
altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento |
104 |
|
mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode |
105 |
|
- fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig |
106 |
|
parameter) and crossfade |
107 |
|
- added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig |
108 |
|
parameter |
109 |
|
- added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change |
110 |
|
messages |
111 |
|
- sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion |
112 |
|
instead of the wave chunk |
113 |
|
- fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits |
114 |
|
not equal to a power of two |
115 |
|
- reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more |
116 |
|
accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject |
117 |
|
and lowpass turbo. |
118 |
|
- real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to |
119 |
|
16 bits anymore |
120 |
|
- support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic |
121 |
|
aftertouch) |
122 |
|
- LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of |
123 |
|
amplifying from 0) |
124 |
|
|
125 |
|
* LSCP server: |
126 |
|
- fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20) |
127 |
|
- fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of |
128 |
|
network activity (fixes bug #26) |
129 |
|
- fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters |
130 |
|
(e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'") |
131 |
|
|
132 |
|
* audio driver: |
133 |
|
- added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe) |
134 |
|
|
135 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
136 |
|
- fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx |
137 |
|
messages several times instead of once |
138 |
|
- API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps |
139 |
|
for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers) |
140 |
|
- added checks for bad MIDI data |
141 |
|
|
142 |
|
* linuxsampler application: |
143 |
|
- show available sampler engine types on startup |
144 |
|
|
145 |
|
* general changes: |
146 |
|
- support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new |
147 |
|
LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new |
148 |
|
fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were |
149 |
|
introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console |
150 |
|
(patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option |
151 |
|
--enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the |
152 |
|
processing of muted channels. |
153 |
|
- support for sostenuto pedal |
154 |
|
- support for monitoring the total number of active voices |
155 |
|
(new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX, |
156 |
|
SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT) |
157 |
|
- fixed some memory management errors |
158 |
|
- fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when |
159 |
|
LSCP commands were executed |
160 |
|
- fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same |
161 |
|
sampler channel (fixes bug #36) |
162 |
|
|
163 |
|
Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005) |
164 |
|
|
165 |
|
* packaging changes: |
166 |
|
- fixed compilation with gcc 4.0 |
167 |
|
|
168 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
169 |
|
- LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was |
170 |
|
disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix) |
171 |
|
- if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME) |
172 |
|
for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice |
173 |
|
stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning |
174 |
|
about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down |
175 |
|
appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection |
176 |
