Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface ------------------------------------------ ChangeLog 0.1.0 2005-04-01 Device configuration work in progress... * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session configurations to the default audio driver type (which is ALSA) unexpectedly. * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on session file save, as its use is still troublesome. * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; change information are now also posted to messages window. * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel sampler instrument file. * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where available, as the default handler is usually fatal when a JACK client is zombified abruptly. * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line count exceeds in one third the user configured line count maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, following common user-interface guidelines. * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal control structures. * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler channel (omni mode). * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background color to black (was green), being now an user option. * Minor configure fixes. 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release. * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog, and on session file save. * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults on create time. * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load. 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release. * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking over the empty workspace area. * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(), so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the correct salvage of settings and configuration. * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option, provided to override the default (which is 100%). * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds. * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over each sampler channel strip. * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect. * Insert a n #include on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between a #if !defined(WIN32) clause. * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every new sampler channel strip. * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as suggested in the following lines: SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ... SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ... SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ... LOAD ENGINE ... LOAD INSTRUMENT ... SET CHANNEL VOLUME ... 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
