The wavetable phase is now coded as a 64-bits fixed floating point number. - Cubic hermite interpolation (other interpolations are coded but not used by default). The interpolation uses a lookup table for the interpolation coefficients, which yields a great performance improvement. - iiwusynth is now also available as a jMax package! - iiwusynth can now load several SoundFonts - reverb is coded in and running by default. IIWU Synth v0.0.2, May 26th 2001 - iiwusynth now uses a very simple interpreter. You can now change the MIDI programs and banks, print out the available instruments, and more. Readline support is available. - OSS midi and audio are now supported - Better support of the drum channel (MIDI track 10, starting from 1, or 9, starting from 0) - Pitch bend is supported - The synthesizer now uses a simple voice stealing algorithm. - Soundfonts with ROM samples are now loaded so you can still use the available presets. - Fixed a bug printing error messages (gerr; thanks Josh) - Fixed a divide by zero in the filter (ugh!). - Fixed a bug in the midifile reader IIWU Synth v0.0.1, May 22nd 2001 - First release
