1 schoenebeck 1.6 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
2
3 This is the first release for the Windows platform, providing a MME MIDI
4 input driver and ASIO audio output driver. Note that the instruments DB
5 feature is not yet available for Windows systems, since the respective
6 code base has yet to be ported. Needless to say that there still might be
7 plenty of issues on MS systems. Beside that support for Windows, this is
8 merely a bugfix release (i.e. fixing one serious crash) with only minor
9 new features.

11 schoenebeck 1.5 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
12
13 This release comes with a bunch of important new features. We implemented
14 a very powerful and easy MIDI program change mapping, which not only
15 allows you to define which instrument to load on which MIDI program
16 change number (and bank select number), it also allows further parameters
17 like whether the instrument shall be pre-cached or loaded only when needed
18 (and likewise freed when not needed). You can create arbitrary amount of
19 effect sends for each sampler channel, each having an arbitrary MIDI
20 controller for controlling the effect send level in realtime and can
21 flexible be routed to some of the sampler's audio output channel, i.e.
22 to a dedicated one for a certain effect type. The new instruments
23 database allows you to keep track even of largest instrument library
24 collections. You can order them in categories and search by various
25 criteria. The sampler now allows third party applications to offer so
26 called 'instrument editor plugins' which the sampler can use to spawn
27 an appropriate instrument editor application for a selected instrument
28 and for allowing to edit instruments with such an external editor
29 application on-the-fly, that is all modifications made with the editor
30 will immediately be audible with the sampler. No need to reload instrument
31 files anymore. Checkout our brand new instrument editor application called
32 schoenebeck 1.5 'gigedit' which you can use for this feature. Loading huge instruments may
33 take a long time, that's why the sampler now allows to play an instrument
34 while loading. That way you can i.e. play and hold notes on the keyboard
35 while loading a new instrument on the same sampler channel at the same
36 time. Beside these new features, you can find the common huge list of bug
37 fixes and quality improvements.

39 schoenebeck 1.4 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
40
41 Finally a new release after a long development cycle. The sampler now has
42 a completely revised synthesis core. Note that due to this, most of the
43 assembly code became incompatible and is thus deactivated at compile
44 time. So don't bother trying to activate the assembly option, it won't
45 compile! That's not an issue though, because even without assembly, the
46 new synthesis core is faster than the old one with assembly. The
47 Gigasampler engine now has real support for 24 bit samples, that is they
48 won't be truncated anymore, and finally supports all filter types of the
49 Gigasampler format. A lot of effort has been put into making all filters
50 under all parameters being as accurate as possible, compared to the
51 original Gigasampler ones. Analogue to hardware mixers, sampler channels
52 can now be muted and solo-ed and there is support for GM portamento and
53 GM mono mode (single note per channel) as well as support for sostenuto
54 pedal. Beside LSCP, third-party applications can now also link against
55 liblinuxsampler directly (using the sampler's C++ API). Beside these,
56 there have been of course a huge bunch of fixes and quality improvements.
