Version 0.0.60.0 (unreleased) + Awesome new bitmap-based GUI by Markus Schmidt + New plugins by Markus Schmidt: * several EQs (5, 8, 12 bands) * new compressors (sidechain, multiband, deesser) * new distortion plugins (based on code by Tom Szilagyi) * amplitude modulator plugin (pulsator) + New experimental plugin - a simple wrapper for Fluidsynth + JACK host: save/load of sessions + Vintage Delay: fix another reinitialisation bug that caused, noise bursts on enable/disable, add Width and LR/RL modes + many improvements to Monosynth: * modulation matrix (not compatible with all plugin standards yet) * PWM in both oscillators * stretch (pseudo-hard-sync) for oscillator 1 * detune scaling (depending on pitch) * second envelope + envelopes now have an extra stage called 'Fade': when enabled, it replaces Sustain with either ramp down to 0% or ramp up to 100% + more options in the build system (LASH use can now be disabled) + support for LADISH level 1 in calfjackhost (SIGUSR1-triggered Save) + uses more recent LV2 extensions (external UI, persist and others) + many bugfixes - removed small plugins - if anyone's interested, please use the old code in some new project Version 0.0.18.6 + LADSPA: do not delete singletons after .so is unloaded + Rotary speaker: fix spelling of plugin class Version 0.0.18.5 + Vintage Delay: clear buffer on startup and reactivation + GUI: fix dodgy icons + JACK host: fix a problem with numeric variant of -M option and the new versions of JACK Version 0.0.18.4 + Framework: gcc-4.4 compilation fix (Orcan Ogetbil) Version 0.0.18.3 + Framework: do not use x86 assembler code on non-x86 platforms + Monosynth, Organ: fix serious audio quality issues + Monosynth: implement inertia for cutoff knob and pitch bend, make pitch bend range adjustable + Organ: fix polyphony limit bug Version 0.0.18.2 + Organ: fix voice stealing of released notes, sort out GUI, add quadratic mode for amplitude envelope (enabled by default) - sounds more natural + Monosynth: fix the bug that caused JACK to kick the client out due to precalculating waves in a completely wrong place, fix portamento for off-stack notes + Presets: 3 new presets for Organ, 4 for Monosynth, 2 for Reverb Version 0.0.18.1 + Filter: fixed subtle redraw bugs + Icons: fixed packaging-incompatible paths Version 0.0.18 + Filterclavier: new plugin (a MIDI controlled filter) by Hans Baier + DSSI: added a basic implementation of live graphs. The graphs have a limited resolution (128 data points), and are rather inefficient (as the graph data need to be transmitted via OSC to a different process), but it's better than nothing + GUI: Torben Hohn's drawing optimizations (critical for Intel graphics cards, but should also reduce CPU usage on other hardware) + Phaser: added frequency response graph + JACK host: discontinue the broken option -p; allow giving preset names after a colon sign (reverb:DiscoVerb instead of -p DiscoVerb reverb) + Reverb: less modulation; tone controls; 2 more room types + MultiChorus: add double bandpass filter on input + GUI: added frequency grid + Organ: added progress reporting on load (works with JACK host and LV2) + JACK host: use sensible port names (possibly breaking new LASH sessions) + Organ: added polyphony limit + Small plugins: added support for polymorphic port extension to allow the same plugins to be used for control and audio signals + DSSI: renamed all the plugins from "plugin LADSPA" to "plugin DSSI" + LADSPA: more reasonable default value hints, fixed locale issue in LRDF + JACK host: added icons by Thorsten Wilms (thanks!) + Organ, Monosynth: better memory usage + LV2: attempt at supporting configure-like parameters (key mapping curve in Organ) by the new String Port extension + AutoHell: header files are not installed anymore (they are of little use anyway) + AutoHell: configure script prints if --enable-experimental was specified Version 0.0.17 + Compressor: new plugin by Thor Harald Johansen + GUI: control improvements (new LED control, improved VU meter, XML improvements, line graph with dots and grid lines - no legend yet), move autolayout code from the plugin libraries to makerdf executable, + Most plugins: use custom GUI layouts instead of autogenerated ones + Most plugins: add dry amount (for aux bus type uses) + Flanger, Filter, MultiChorus: added live graphs displaying frequency response and (in case of MultiChorus) LFO positions + LV2 GUI: added a way to display live graphs in Ardour and Zynjacku/LV2Rack (only works when the plugin and the GUI are in the same process) + Framework: general improvements/cleanups to reduce the chance of the kind of errors that were introduced in 0.0.16 and reduce dependencies + Monosynth: removed soft clipper on output Version 0.0.16.3 + Fixed compilation without LV2 core installed Version 0.0.16.2 + Fixed DSSI GUI for MultiChorus + Fixed LV2 GUI for MultiChorus + Make knob control mouse wheel handling work better in Ingen Version 0.0.16 + New MultiChorus plugin (stereo multitap chorus with maximum of 8 voices) + Experimental set of plugins for modular synthesizers like Ingen by Dave Robillard (enabled using --enable-experimental option in configure script) + Minor improvements to other plugins (like Rotary Speaker) + More work on API documentation Version 0.0.15 + Organ: new percussive section, using 2-operator FM synthesis for monophonic or polyphonic percussive attack; added global transpose and detune; rearrangement of controls between sections + Rotary Speaker: another attempt at making it useful (thanks FishB8) + JACK host: eliminate deadlock on exit + GUI: bipolar knobs now have a "dead zone" (magnet) in the middle point + GUI: dragging a knob with SHIFT held allows for fine adjustments + GUI: new controls - curve editor and keyboard + LV2: improved extension support (supports my "extended port properties" extension now) + Added some API documentation Version 0.0.14 + OSC: totally new OSC wrapper, to allow for realtime-safe parsing (doesn't matter as far as functionality goes, will probably be rewritten again anyway) + Everything: memory management fixes (should improve stability and compatibility) + Organ: improved memory usage + GUI: improved bipolar knobs, added endless knobs + Presets: separate 'built-in' and 'user' presets (so that built-in presets can be upgraded without affecting user's own presets) + Monosynth: new presets Version 0.0.13 + Fixed several problems related to 64-bit environments and OpenSUSE (thanks oc2pus!) + Added NOCONFIGURE environment variable support to autogen.sh Version 0.0.12 + RotarySpeaker: work in progress; enabled by default just in case it's useful for anyone + Organ: reworked to add a complete subtractive synth section, a selection of waveform (settable on a per-drawbar basis), individual settings of phase, detune, panning, routing for each drawbar, as well as improved(?) percussive section and vibrato/phaser section. It is usable (and sounds good!), but some parameters, waveform set etc. may change in future. May take up to 100 MB of RAM due to pre-calculated bandlimited waveforms. + Added half-complete implementation of LV2 (including GUI and events). + Lots of small "polishing" kind of fixes in many places (like proper rounding of values in the GUIs, another set of hold/sostenuto fixes etc) Version 0.0.11 + Fixed x86-64 bugs + JackHost: implemented LASH support + RotarySpeaker: fixed panning bug, implemented acceleration/decceleration for "off" state Version 0.0.10 + First attempt at DSSI GUI, does not support some features from JACK host, but that's inevitable because of API limitations + Reverb: improvements (more parameters, fixed denormals) + Knob: added custom support for scroll wheel (instead of one inherited from GtkRange) Version 0.0.9 + started creating an XML-based GUI + LineGraph: new GTK+ control for displaying waveforms and filter response graphs in Monosynth (and maybe others in future) + Monosynth: notch filter changes (made notch bandwidth proportional to Q, just for fun, might be a bad idea) + Monosynth: more waveforms (these might be final?) + Monosynth: capped Sustain level to 0.999 so that decay time actually means something with Sustain = 100% (not a great way to do it, but acceptable in this case) + Monosynth: GUI refreshes less often (which means less CPU use) + Monosynth: less clicks on sounds using LP filter with very low cutoff (using ramp of 256 samples instead of 64 samples as before) + Knob: new GTK+ control based on GtkRange, with my primitive bitmap set (generated with Python and Cairo) + Organ: added a GUI too, very provisional + Organ: fixed Hold pedal (doesn't release the notes which are still depressed) + RotarySpeaker: new effect (split off Organ) + all: denormal fixes (still some denormals present in reverb) + Reverb: better time setting (decay time somewhat corresponds to -60dB attenuation time) + JackHost: -M switch allows for automatic connection to JACK MIDI event source (use -M system:midi_capture_2 or -M 2 for autoconnection to system:midi_capture_2; of course, the short numeric form only work for system:midi_capture_ ports) + JackHost: -p switch selects a preset automatically + JackHost: better size setting algorithm + JackHost: duplicate client name (causing JACK to rename the client) doesn't break autoconnecting functionality + autotools configuration update (detect Cairo and require newer GTK+) + more presets
