Added full-panning stereo, improvement of channel management, and many other things.
Also, I have implemented an ability to use custom WOPL (for libADLMIDI) and WOPN (for libOPNMIDI) banks from the same path as "soundfonts", but also, in the same environment, the "fm_banks" folder was added for WOPL/WOPN storing purposes.
To toggle usage of embedded or custom bank, I have added togglable booleans. When bank fails to be loaded, the default embedded bank is getting to be used as fallback.
ADLMIDI 1.4.0 2018-10-01
* Implemented a full support for Portamento! (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added support for SysEx event handling! (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added support for GS way of custom drum channels (through SysEx events)
* Ignore some NRPN events and lsb bank number when using GS standard (after catching of GS Reset SysEx call)
* Added support for CC66-Sostenuto controller (Pedal hold of currently-pressed notes only while CC64 holds also all next notes)
* Added support for CC67-SoftPedal controller (SoftPedal lowers the volume of notes played)
* Fixed correctness of CMF files playing
* Fixed unnecessary overuse of chip channels by blank notes
* Added API to disable specific MIDI tracks or play one of MIDI tracks solo
* Added support for more complex loop (loopStart=XX, loopEnd=0). Where XX - count of loops, or 0 - infinite. Nested loops are supported without of any limits.
* Added working implementation of TMB's velocity offset
* Added support for full-panning stereo option (Thanks to [Christopher Snowhill](https://github.com/kode54) for a work!)

ADL&OPN Hotfix: re-calculated default banks
The fix on side of measurer of OPL3-BE and OPN2-BE where some instruments getting zero releasing time.
Added ability to switch emulator and it's accuracy level ("enabling of 'run at PCM rate' reduces accuracy, and also reduces CPU usage")
Added draft code for future external banks support (WOPL format for ADLMIDI and WOPN format for OPNMIDI)
ADLMIDI 1.3.3 2018-06-19
* Fixed an inability to load another custom bank without of library re-initialization
* Optimizing the MIDI banks management system for MultiBanks (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Fixed incorrect 4-op counter which is still catch 4-op instruments on 2-op banks
* Fixed an incorrect processing of auto-flags
* Fixed incorrect initial MIDI tempo when MIDI file doesn't includes the tempo event
* Channel and Note Aftertouch features are now supported correctly! Aftertouch is the tremolo / vibrato, NOT A VOLUME!
* Updated DosBox OPL3 emulator up to r4111 of official DosBox trunk (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* The automatical choosing of 4 operator channels count has been improved (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Added optional HQ resampler for Nuked OPL3 emulators which does usage of Zita-Resampler library (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
ADLMIDI 1.3.2 2018-04-24
* Added ability to disable MUS and XMI converters
* Added ability to disable embedded MIDI sequencer to use library as RealTime synthesizer only or use any custom MIDI sequencer plugins.
* Fixed blank instruments fallback in multi-bank support. When using non-zero bank, if instrument is blank, then, instrument will be taken from a root (I.e. zero bank).
* Added support for real-time switching the emulator
* Added support for CC-120 - "All sound off" on the MIDI channel
* Changed logic of CC-74 Brightness to affect sound only between 0 and 64 like real XG synthesizers. Ability to turn on a full-ranged brightness (to use full 0...127 range) is kept.
* Added support for different output sample formats (PCM8, PCM8U, PCM16, PCM16U, PCM32, PCM32U, Float32, and Float64) (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)
* Reworked MIDI channels management to avoid any memory reallocations while music processing for a hard real time. (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)

This was done after the players had already been created. To ensure that everything gets set properly it is necessary to pass the desired sample rate to the device's constructor and let it make sure that a proper sample rate gets set.
This is necessary to write a universal, device independent wave dumper for MIDIs.
With each format inheriting from the main player class it is not possible to create a generic dumper player.
PathExpander has been integrated into the sound font manager and PseudoMidiDevice was only used as the base class for the old Timidity++ device with the external executable.
This isn't supported with the OpenAL backend, and instead of trying to make a
workaround for it, a better approach would probably be to make a FileReader
implementation that handles URLs.
- added arrays to the config to hold entries for the softsynths' config files. This is not active yet, but will later be used to give the user a list of config options instead of having to type it by hand.
The idea is to have more control on the game side instead of dealing with these formats in the backend, which was done for FMod because it already had the decoders implemented.
However, with OpenAL this setup makes no sense and only complicates future extensions that can be better handled at a higher level.
A major part of this device's implementation details about how to handle the callback were not encapsulated by the device class at all, they were #ifdef'd into the streamer class.
This puts everything into the device class which now exposes a clean interface to the rest of the game with no special handling aside from calling two additional virtual functions that are empty for the other devices
* make the critical section local to the respective platform instead of polluting everything with system specific symbols.
* moved system specific class declarations into the source file instead of having them in the global header.
This commit temporarily disables the Windows system device because it cannot be done without polluting the global header and still needs a bit of refactoring.
The approach being used here caused the entire sound system to be infested by windows.h, just to avoid copying around a handful of variables in one place, effectively preventing any compiling optimization.
Windows will now use the same internally defined structure for all MIDI processing which only for actual submission to the system player will be converted to the internal format.
- Replaced GTK/OS X (note different from Cocoa) clipboard code with SDL clipboard API.
- Removed requirement to link to GTK in order to compile with GTK support.
- GTK is no longer init'd if the GTK IWAD picker is not used.
- Our usage of GTK is such that the dynamic loader can work with both GTK2 and GTK3 depending on what's installed.
- Since we're accumulating a lot of library loaders I've built a generic interface as FModule which replaces TOptWin32Proc and the loaders in the OpenAL and Fluidsynth code.
The only reason this even existed was that ZDoom's original VC projects used __fastcall. The CMake generated project do not, they stick to __cdecl.
Since no performance gain can be seen by using __fastcall the best course of action is to just remove all traces of it from the source and forget that it ever existed.
* OPL: specify the core to use for playing this song
* FluidSynth: specify a soundfont that should be used for playing the song.
* WildMidi: specify a config file that should be used for playing the song.
* Timidity++: specify an executable that should be used for playing the song. At least under Windows this allows using Timidity++ with different configs if the executable and each single config are placed in different directories.
* GUS: currently not operational, but should later also specify the config. This will need some work, because right now this is initialized only when the sound system is initialized.
* all other: no function.
These options should mainly be for end users who want to fine-tune how to play the music.
