1 Version 0.0.60.0 (unreleased)
2 + Awesome new bitmap-based GUI by Markus Schmidt
3 + New plugins by Markus Schmidt:
4 * several EQs (5, 8, 12 bands)
5 * new compressors (sidechain, multiband, deesser)
6 * new distortion plugins (based on code by Tom Szilagyi)
7 * amplitude modulator plugin (pulsator)
8 + New experimental plugin - a simple wrapper for Fluidsynth
9 + JACK host: save/load of sessions
10 + Vintage Delay: fix another reinitialisation bug that caused,
11 noise bursts on enable/disable, add Width and LR/RL modes
12 + many improvements to Monosynth:
13 * modulation matrix (not compatible with all plugin standards yet)
14 * PWM in both oscillators
15 * stretch (pseudo-hard-sync) for oscillator 1
16 * detune scaling (depending on pitch)
18 + envelopes now have an extra stage called 'Fade': when enabled,
19 it replaces Sustain with either ramp down to 0% or ramp up to 100%
20 + more options in the build system (LASH use can now be disabled)
21 + support for LADISH level 1 in calfjackhost (SIGUSR1-triggered Save)
22 + uses more recent LV2 extensions (external UI, persist and others)
24 - removed small plugins - if anyone's interested, please use the old code
29 + LADSPA: do not delete singletons after .so is unloaded
30 + Rotary speaker: fix spelling of plugin class
34 + Vintage Delay: clear buffer on startup and reactivation
35 + GUI: fix dodgy icons
36 + JACK host: fix a problem with numeric variant of -M option and the new
41 + Framework: gcc-4.4 compilation fix (Orcan Ogetbil)
45 + Framework: do not use x86 assembler code on non-x86 platforms
46 + Monosynth, Organ: fix serious audio quality issues
47 + Monosynth: implement inertia for cutoff knob and pitch bend, make
48 pitch bend range adjustable
49 + Organ: fix polyphony limit bug
53 + Organ: fix voice stealing of released notes, sort out GUI, add quadratic
54 mode for amplitude envelope (enabled by default) - sounds more natural
55 + Monosynth: fix the bug that caused JACK to kick the client out due
56 to precalculating waves in a completely wrong place, fix portamento
58 + Presets: 3 new presets for Organ, 4 for Monosynth, 2 for Reverb
62 + Filter: fixed subtle redraw bugs
63 + Icons: fixed packaging-incompatible paths
67 + Filterclavier: new plugin (a MIDI controlled filter) by Hans Baier
68 + DSSI: added a basic implementation of live graphs. The graphs have a
69 limited resolution (128 data points), and are rather inefficient
70 (as the graph data need to be transmitted via OSC to a different
71 process), but it's better than nothing
72 + GUI: Torben Hohn's drawing optimizations (critical for Intel graphics
73 cards, but should also reduce CPU usage on other hardware)
74 + Phaser: added frequency response graph
75 + JACK host: discontinue the broken option -p; allow giving preset names
76 after a colon sign (reverb:DiscoVerb instead of -p DiscoVerb reverb)
77 + Reverb: less modulation; tone controls; 2 more room types
78 + MultiChorus: add double bandpass filter on input
79 + GUI: added frequency grid
80 + Organ: added progress reporting on load (works with JACK host and LV2)
81 + JACK host: use sensible port names (possibly breaking new LASH sessions)
82 + Organ: added polyphony limit
83 + Small plugins: added support for polymorphic port extension to allow
84 the same plugins to be used for control and audio signals
85 + DSSI: renamed all the plugins from "plugin LADSPA" to "plugin DSSI"
86 + LADSPA: more reasonable default value hints, fixed locale issue in LRDF
87 + JACK host: added icons by Thorsten Wilms (thanks!)
88 + Organ, Monosynth: better memory usage
89 + LV2: attempt at supporting configure-like parameters (key mapping curve
90 in Organ) by the new String Port extension
91 + AutoHell: header files are not installed anymore (they are of little
93 + AutoHell: configure script prints if --enable-experimental was specified
97 + Compressor: new plugin by Thor Harald Johansen
98 + GUI: control improvements (new LED control, improved VU meter, XML
99 improvements, line graph with dots and grid lines - no legend yet), move
100 autolayout code from the plugin libraries to makerdf executable,
101 + Most plugins: use custom GUI layouts instead of autogenerated ones
102 + Most plugins: add dry amount (for aux bus type uses)
103 + Flanger, Filter, MultiChorus: added live graphs displaying frequency
104 response and (in case of MultiChorus) LFO positions
105 + LV2 GUI: added a way to display live graphs in Ardour and Zynjacku/LV2Rack
106 (only works when the plugin and the GUI are in the same process)
107 + Framework: general improvements/cleanups to reduce the chance of the
108 kind of errors that were introduced in 0.0.16 and reduce dependencies
109 + Monosynth: removed soft clipper on output
113 + Fixed compilation without LV2 core installed
117 + Fixed DSSI GUI for MultiChorus
118 + Fixed LV2 GUI for MultiChorus
119 + Make knob control mouse wheel handling work better in Ingen
123 + New MultiChorus plugin (stereo multitap chorus with maximum of 8 voices)
124 + Experimental set of plugins for modular synthesizers like Ingen by
125 Dave Robillard (enabled using --enable-experimental option in configure
127 + Minor improvements to other plugins (like Rotary Speaker)
128 + More work on API documentation
132 + Organ: new percussive section, using 2-operator FM synthesis for
133 monophonic or polyphonic percussive attack; added global transpose and
134 detune; rearrangement of controls between sections
135 + Rotary Speaker: another attempt at making it useful (thanks FishB8)
136 + JACK host: eliminate deadlock on exit
137 + GUI: bipolar knobs now have a "dead zone" (magnet) in the middle point
138 + GUI: dragging a knob with SHIFT held allows for fine adjustments
139 + GUI: new controls - curve editor and keyboard
140 + LV2: improved extension support (supports my "extended port properties"
142 + Added some API documentation
145 + OSC: totally new OSC wrapper, to allow for realtime-safe parsing (doesn't
146 matter as far as functionality goes, will probably be rewritten again
148 + Everything: memory management fixes (should improve stability and
150 + Organ: improved memory usage
151 + GUI: improved bipolar knobs, added endless knobs
152 + Presets: separate 'built-in' and 'user' presets (so that built-in presets
153 can be upgraded without affecting user's own presets)
154 + Monosynth: new presets
157 + Fixed several problems related to 64-bit environments and OpenSUSE (thanks
159 + Added NOCONFIGURE environment variable support to autogen.sh
162 + RotarySpeaker: work in progress; enabled by default just in case it's
164 + Organ: reworked to add a complete subtractive synth section, a selection
165 of waveform (settable on a per-drawbar basis), individual settings of
166 phase, detune, panning, routing for each drawbar, as well as improved(?)
167 percussive section and vibrato/phaser section. It is usable (and sounds
168 good!), but some parameters, waveform set etc. may change in future. May
169 take up to 100 MB of RAM due to pre-calculated bandlimited waveforms.
170 + Added half-complete implementation of LV2 (including GUI and events).
171 + Lots of small "polishing" kind of fixes in many places (like proper
172 rounding of values in the GUIs, another set of hold/sostenuto fixes etc)
177 + JackHost: implemented LASH support
178 + RotarySpeaker: fixed panning bug, implemented acceleration/decceleration
183 + First attempt at DSSI GUI, does not support some features from JACK host,
184 but that's inevitable because of API limitations
185 + Reverb: improvements (more parameters, fixed denormals)
186 + Knob: added custom support for scroll wheel (instead of one inherited from
191 + started creating an XML-based GUI
192 + LineGraph: new GTK+ control for displaying waveforms and filter response
193 graphs in Monosynth (and maybe others in future)
194 + Monosynth: notch filter changes (made notch bandwidth proportional to Q,
195 just for fun, might be a bad idea)
196 + Monosynth: more waveforms (these might be final?)
197 + Monosynth: capped Sustain level to 0.999 so that decay time actually means
198 something with Sustain = 100% (not a great way to do it, but acceptable in
200 + Monosynth: GUI refreshes less often (which means less CPU use)
201 + Monosynth: less clicks on sounds using LP filter with very low cutoff
202 (using ramp of 256 samples instead of 64 samples as before)
203 + Knob: new GTK+ control based on GtkRange, with my primitive bitmap set
204 (generated with Python and Cairo)
205 + Organ: added a GUI too, very provisional
206 + Organ: fixed Hold pedal (doesn't release the notes which are still depressed)
207 + RotarySpeaker: new effect (split off Organ)
208 + all: denormal fixes (still some denormals present in reverb)
209 + Reverb: better time setting (decay time somewhat corresponds to -60dB
211 + JackHost: -M switch allows for automatic connection to JACK MIDI event source
212 (use -M system:midi_capture_2 or -M 2 for autoconnection to
213 system:midi_capture_2; of course, the short numeric form only work for
214 system:midi_capture_ ports)
215 + JackHost: -p switch selects a preset automatically
216 + JackHost: better size setting algorithm
217 + JackHost: duplicate client name (causing JACK to rename the client) doesn't
218 break autoconnecting functionality
219 + autotools configuration update (detect Cairo and require newer GTK+)
