This is a maintenance release with various fixes. There are only two |
4 |
|
minor new features in this release: |
5 |
|
|
6 |
|
The Giga format engine adds a format extension which allows sound |
7 |
|
designers to define whether release trigger samples shall be played when |
8 |
|
the sustain pedal is released. In the previous release this was actually |
9 |
|
the default behaviour by the sampler, but meanwhile there was a consensus |
10 |
|
on the mailing list that release samples being triggered by sustain pedal |
11 |
|
is not the common, expected behaviour. So this is no longer the default |
12 |
|
behaviour, but you can still opt in to this old behaviour by using this |
13 |
|
new format extension option (i.e. by using latest release version of |
14 |
|
libgig and gigedit and enabling the respective checkbox for your |
15 |
|
gig instrument). If you don't enable this option then release samples are |
16 |
|
now only triggered by note-off events. |
17 |
|
|
18 |
|
The sfz engine adds support for the commonly used built-in sample |
19 |
|
'*silence' of the sfz format. It does what you think it does; it |
20 |
|
instructs the sampler to play no sound at all. This is commonly used |
21 |
|
in sfz files for instance for the lowest velocity switch to not play any |
22 |
|
sample. With the previous release trying to load sfz files which used this |
23 |
|
built-in sample caused a file loading error. There are various other |
24 |
|
commonly used built-in samples in sfz files which you can denote by the |
25 |
|
leading star character in the sample name, however the '*silence' one is |
26 |
|
currently the only supported built-in sample by our sfz engine yet. Trying |
27 |
|
to load sfz files which are using other built-in samples does not prevent |
28 |
|
your instrument from being loaded by the sampler, however you will get a |
29 |
|
warning message on the console that the built-in sample is not supported |
30 |
|
yet and the sampler will simply play silence for that non supported |
31 |
|
built-in sample. |
