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!)
* Fixed inability to play high notes due physical tone frequency out of range on the OPL3 chip
OPNMIDI 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)
* Resolved a trouble which sometimes makes a junk noise sound and unnecessary overuse of chip channels
* Volume models support taken from libADLMIDI has been adapted to OPN2's chip speficis
* Fixed inability to play high notes due physical tone frequency out of range on the OPN2 chip
* Added support for full-panning stereo option
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.
- fixed: The streaming music player must return the file reader if it fails to open, so that the next player can still use it.
- fixed: Timidity++'s Instruments class did not delete the sound font when it was destroyed.
..-
- implemented a fallback both for sound font lookup and for MIDI device selection so that if some non-working combination is set up, the player will fall back to something that works.
The text input field for the configs have been removed. Instead it will now present a list of soundfonts that are found in specific locations.
For that it will look in the 'soundfont' directories of the FileSearch.Directories entry of the config.
Acceptable file formats here are SF2 and zipped GUS patch sets. These zipped patch sets need to have a timidity.cfg at the root and refer to all containing data by relative path. References to outside files are not allowed here.
It is still possible to refer to sound fonts elsewhere on the hard drive by manually entering a path at the console - but these won't show in the menu and will get lost if one cycles through the list of available options.
Of the available softsynths, FluidSynth will only list SF", Wildmidi will only list GUS patch sets and Timidity++ and GUS will list both.
Please note that although the GUS synth can read SF2, the output appears to be broken die to some old bug.
- allow the GUS to change sound fonts at run time.
- implemented sound font manager support in the GUS synth. This works but also made me realize that the SF2 support of this synth has been rather broken, apparently forever.
- added the missing handler for reading Timidity configs from the lump directory.
- fixed incomplete init of the GUS synth when no soundfont can be located.
- fixed bad initialization of WildMidi sampling frequency. It would default to 11.025 kHz if no valid rate was set. Now it will use the sound device's native frequency.
