OpenMPT - Full Version History ------------------------------ [Fix]: bug fix [New]: new feature [Imp]: Improvement [Reg]: known issue / regression [Mod]: change [Var]: other (tx XYZ): thanks to XYZ for telling us about the bug v1.18.02.00 (May 2010) ---------------------- General tab [Imp] Disabled tempo slider for MOD files (it was just confusing) [Imp] Disabled global volume slider for MOD files, instead enabled the sample pre-amp slider (so it is also possible to make output louder) [Imp] The "output to" dropdown list also shows the actual plugin name (instead of just the library name) now. [Fix] Moving a plugin in MOD/S3M files doesn't mark them as modified anymore. The channel fx dropdown lists are now also disabled for those module types. [Fix] The restart position edit control is disabled for S3M files. [Fix] The background colour of the tabs in the channel configuration is now also correct when using WinXP Luna or Vista/Win7 Aero. Sequence editor [New] "Select All" shortcut also works here now. [Imp] Sequence menu also allows to insert empty sequences now. [Fix] Jumping between patterns also stops VSTi notes now. Pattern tab::pattern editing [New] Extended context menu for PC Notes [New] Key shortcut + context menu entry for toggling the plugin editor of the PC note that's under the cursor. [Imp] Overflow paste now only uses one undo step. [Imp] Instead of simply ignoring note off/cut/fade when working with .MOD files, it is converted to C00. [Fix] Effect visualizer is now aware of PC notes (bug 3836). [Fix] When using MIDI record or split keyboard settings, volume data was writting into the volume column in MOD format. [Fix] When converting PC Notes to MIDI Macros, the instrument index is now also cleaned as well. Noticable for example when pasting PC notes into an IT module. [Fix] Now, plugin slot 100 can also be automated using PC Notes. [Fix] When pasting pattern data that exactly reached the pattern end with overflow paste enabled, a redundant undo point was created. [Fix] Entered (volume) effects are now properly validated (makes a difference f.e. in MOD format where it was previously possible to enter effects like Hxx) [Fix] Mix Paste: When in MPT behaviour mode, empty FX commands were not overwritten properly when there previously was an effect in that field but only the effect number (and not the param value) was reset. [Fix] When deleting all patterns via the treeview and then switching to the pattern editor, pattern 0 is not created automatically anymore, to avoid confusion. [Reg] Creating a selection using the Shift key + Mouse click now only works if there was previously no selection made; This seems reasonable as the old shift-behaviour seems to be widely used. Pattern tab::GUI [New] When the PT1x mode or the S3M "Amiga" flag are enabled, dodgy notes (i.e lower than C-4 or higher than B-6) are marked red. [Imp] The status bar shows plugin and parameter names for PC notes now as well. [Imp] Effect vis: Make use of song's own row highlighting variables instead of fixed global ones. [Fix] The status bar ("Position x of y") only the showed order length for the first subtune if subtunes were separated by an "---" order item. [Fix] Changing a channel plugin in MOD/S3M files doesn't mark them as modified anymore. [Fix] When working with multiple sequences, switching to the pattern editor for the first time automatically marked the document as modified. Pattern tab::Note properties [Imp] Don't allow values > 63 for "break to row" commands in MOD/S3M. [Imp] Since the behaviour of sliding commands with both nibbles set varies from tracker to tracker, "undefined" is always shown in the note properties in such cases. [Fix] In the note properties, the Gxx effect for XM files was not limited properly. [Fix] In Note Properties, the waveform display for S [345]x (and equivalent MOD/XM effeects) was not always fully visible ("continue" addition was cut off) [Fix] Display "fine" / "extra fine" portamento effects properly (S3M/IT/MPTM), display SFx macro properly, display MOD effects with no memory properly. Pattern tab::Find/replace [Fix] Find/Replace didn't work properly when replacing PC Notes with something that's not a PC Note. [Fix] Instead of turning "Follow Song" off, the Find/Replace dialog toggled it. Sample tab [New] Shift+New = Clone sample slot [New] Option to not ask for RAW import settings again (settings are remembered independently for all modules) [Imp] Remember previous settings in RAW import dialog [Imp] When enabling (sustain) loop and no loop points are set yet, automatically set loop to full sample length or the currently selected part of the sample. [Imp] Sample name and filename are now properly limited in length. [Fix] When applying time stretch / pitch shift to an 8-bit sample and selecting the sample partly lead to partial upsampling, instead of upsampling the whole sample. [Fix] Sample Undo: If no custom value was set, the default value was set ridiculously high (tx Paul Legovitch) [Fix] Sample Undo: Fixed another possible problem when undoing actions with very little memory left. [Fix] It was not possible to create the last sample slot (i.e. pressing "new sample" with a MOD file that had 30 samples would result in an error, although MOD supports 31 samples). [Fix] When loading an extremely short raw file (f.e. 1 byte) twice, it crashed OpenMPT. Instrument tab [New] Envelope zooming. Might still look very weird (especially the first tick and around loop points). Includes two new keyboard shortcuts. [New] Transpose Up/Down for sample map. [New] VST/Instrument handling: The IT instrument note mapping is now also applied to VST instruments (before, it was just available for samples). This way, VST instruments can be transposed easily. [Imp] When pasting an envelope, it's now also automatically enabled. [Imp] Instrument name and filename are now properly limited in length. [Imp] "Scale envelope points" is now always available for scaling the values of the points (y axis). [Fix] The panning spin button ranged from 0 to 256, however when saving to .IT, 256 was wrapping over to 0. Panning is now limited from 0 to 255. [Fix] It was impossible to assign plugin slot 100 to an instrument. Comments tab [Fix] Correct C-5 frequency is now also shown if the module is an XM file. [Fix] When editing sample / instrument names, they are limited properly in length now. Treeview [New] Sequences can now be copied to other modules by simply dragging the sequence header into the the other module's sequence header. Does only work between two different modules, not within the same module, and it will not copy the pattern contents. [Imp] Display sequence index next to sequence names. [Imp] Improved order dragging; It is now also possible to drag an order into a non-MPTM module. In that case, the old orderlist will be replaced. [Imp] J2B files were not shown in treeview. [Fix] Soundfont samples were not playing correctly anymore. Note that soundfont samples in the MIDI library still don't work. [Fix] A crash could occour if the instrument library path was too long (f.e. because of malicious strings in the [Paths] section of the INI file) [Fix] "Bypass" action for VSTs didn't set the document as modified. [Fix] Right-Click on module -> Close didn't ask for confirmation when the document was modified. [Fix] Insert/Duplicate sequence actions didn't set the document modified. Grey out those two actions if no additional sequences can be added. VST [New] VST/Instrument handling: The IT instrument note mapping is now also applied to VST instruments (before, it was just available for samples). This way, VST instruments can be transposed easily. [Imp] VST Editor: Instead of just saying the user that the plugin has to be assigned to an instrument to play notes, they are queried now whether they want to automatically add an instrument. [Imp] VST Editor: Added shortcuts for "toggle bypass", "pass keys to plug" and "record params to pattern" [Mod] VST Editor: Changed number of patches per sub menu from 100 to 128. Now, one sub menu equals ones MIDI bank (more logical) [Fix] VST Editor: Preset names starting with ' ' >= char > 'A' were cropped (i.e. "123ABC" was displayed as "ABC") [Fix] Even if an instrument was muted, a VSTi assigned to this instrument was still playing in the pattern. [Fix] Some VSTs that previously wouldn't load might now load fine. [Fix] Returned host CanDo-values were wrong (since pre RC1 era). Mod conversion [Fix] When converting from MOD to S3M or IT, the Invert Loop effect was not removed. [Fix] When converting from MPTM to another format, the first sequence name is removed and the sequence is now sized properly when merging multiple sequences (tx Skaven). [Fix] When converting between XM and IT, the sample autovibrato "sweep" factor is now fixed a bit (since sweep = 0 equals "no sweep" in XM, and "no vibrato" in IT). [Fix] When removing instruments from the treeview and converting the module to a different format which also supports instruments, OpenMPT crashed. [Fix] When converting to MOD/S3M, the extended filter range flag was not deactivated. [Fix] S00 (IT/S3M) does not equal E00 (MOD/XM), as Exx doesn't have effect memory. Trying to convert S00 to the last used value now. [Fix] If necessary (S3M), reset restart position attribute when converting [Fix] Merging multiple sequences didn't properly convert '---'/'+++' orders. IT [Imp] IT Saver: Compatibility export saves stereo samples again, as other tracker like Schism also support this. [Fix] IT Saver: Fixed IT sample flags which could potentionally cause IT to screw up on loading/saving MPT-made modules with samples that are not used by an instrument. [Fix] IT Loader: ChibiTracker uses \n instead of \r in the IT comment text, which was not handled properly. [Fix] (fix from SchismTracker) IT Loader: Ignore stereo sample flag when loading old IT files (older than IT 2.14) since Impulse Tracker did not reset this flag when importing stereo samples back then. [Fix] ITI/ITS Loader: Sample flags were not reset when a sample slot was overwritten when loading ITI or ITS files. That way, it was possible that f.e. the bidi loop flag was not disabled when loading a new sample that had a normal loop. [Fix] S3M/IT compatibility: Note Cut really cuts notes and does not just mute them (so that following volume commands could restore the sample) [Fix] IT Compatibility: Always reset autovibrato settings when there's an instrument number (fix from SchismTracker) [Fix] IT Compatibility: S77 / S79/ S7B are supposed to pause the envelope, not disable it. [Fix] IT Compatibility: ignore slide commands with both nibbles set (f.e. D55, PA1, ...) [Fix] IT Compatibility: Default Vibrato/Tremolo/Panbrello waveform values to sine waveform if out of range (e.g. S35) IT/MPTM/ITP, Instrument extension handling: [Fix] ITP Loader: Instruments flags in ITP files with embedded instrument headers were loaded wrong since revision 415. [Fix] Fixes to instrument envelope flag handling (broken in 1.18.00.00). XM [Imp] XM Loader: Improved detection of an old version of MPT. [Fix] XM Loader: Some XMs not made with ModPlug were recognized as files made with MPT. [Fix] XM Loader: The last XM instrument was not always loaded. [Fix] XM Loader: Early versions of Skale Tracker (R.I.P.) apparently did stupid things to XM instrument headers, so mpt failed to load such modules. Tested the fix with a few hundred XMs and apparently only one XM (IFULOVE.XM) that I have has a header size that is different from the struct size - and that's the one that caused problems. [Fix] XM Compatibility: Volume column doesn't have an effect memory, most effects with param = 0 are useless. Those are ignored in compatibility mode playback and also when exporting the file in compatibility mode. [Fix] XM Compatibility: Improved handling of the situation when a 3xx effect was used, but previously no note was playing. [Fix] XM Compatibility: New instrument + tone portamento = ignore new instrument (fixes partytime.xm by cancer) MOD [Imp] Module creation: When creating a new .MOD, it has 31 sample slots by default. [Imp] Playback: When the PT1x flag is activated, Amiga note range limits are automatically taken into account. [Fix] MOD Saving: Samples were shifted badly if the sample size was odd. (wow, this is an OLD bug!) [Fix] MOD Saving: If a sample had loop points set, but loop disabled, they were still saved in the .MOD file, resulting in the loop being enabled automatically. [Fix] MOD Loader: Very short loops (4-8 bytes long) are not ignored anymore. This fixes "Crew Generation" by Necros. S3M [Imp] S3M Loader: Display a message if an S3M file contains Adlib instruments (rare). [Fix] S3M Playback: In ST3, muted channels are completely ignored, not even effects are interpreted. Let's try this in MPT, too. [Fix] S3M Compatibility: Slightly better handling of vibrato/tremolo waveform types (although the ST3 help screen says that continuous vibrato/tremolo is possible, it does actually not work.) [Reg] Cannot create S3M files with more than 100 patterns anymore, because... [Fix] ... it was possible to create S3M files where the 256 parapointers were not enough, resulting in incomplete/broken files. [Fix] S3M/IT Compatibility: Note Cut really cuts notes and does not just mute them (so that following volume commands could restore the sample) Other modules: [Imp] MT2 Loader (MadTracker): Make use of the "lines per beat" header field. Release node is not set anymore for each and every instrument envelope. MT2 files are now loaded as IT files by default (instead of XM) because of their extended instrument properties (NNAs, filters, etc) - I wonder what this breaks, but I don't bother much because MT2 support was already 100% broken before this. :) Some MT example tunes sound a bit better now at least. [Fix] PTM Loader: Fixed an unhandled null pointer exception that occured when loading some unsupported RAR files. [Fix] PSM16 Loader: Fix for note cut on tick 0 (warbot tune from Silverball) [Fix] Threw out the old ULT loader in favor of Storlek's loader from SchismTracker (used with permission from the author himself). This is a lot more accurate than MPT's old loader. [Fix] DBM Loader: Various fixes to increase import precision and an endianness fix [Fix] AMF DSM Loader: Made some changes to the pattern reader, which elimiante the strange "vC7" commands in the pattern. I have found no hints on whether my fix is correct or not, apart from the fact that those AMF files that I have play a lot better now. And it makes kind of sense... [Fix] IMF Loader: Some fixes copied from Schism (copied from MikMod) MPTM [New] Added combined note delay & note cut command for MPTM only (":xy" means delay until tick x and play for y ticks). [New] MPTM command S7D explicitely enforces pitch envelope, S7E enforces filter envelope. Module cleanup [Imp] In the cleanup dialog, mutually exclusive items are now automatically unchecked, to avoid confusion. [Imp] Made the dialog look a bit nicer. [Fix] Because of an error in pattern count retrival, the last pattern was not checked when looking for unused samples which sometimes resulted in deleted samples (although they were actually used). [Fix] Fixed a memory leak in pattern name handling. Wave Export [New] It is now also possible to render by instrument (i.e. one wave file per instrument). [Imp] When switching to another task and switching back to OpenMPT, it is now less likely that the infamous "OpenMPT does not respond" dialog from Windows occours. Misc [New] INI Settings: When portable mode is enabled, the most common paths in mptrack.ini are now translated to relative paths (if possible). Plugin paths are not translated to relative paths (yet). [New] Modules in gzip archives (single-file .gz archives) can now be imported, just to satisfy my laziness when downloading gzipped modules from Amiga Music Preservation. :-P [Imp] The wave export "render by channel" mode ignores empty channels now. [Imp] Mod Loaders: Instead of creating messageboxes in various places, errors are now written to the log and one messagebox is shown for each file. [Imp] Binary files are now less often falsely recognized as early MOD files (15 samples without header): If the orderlist contains orderlist items > 128, loading is cancelled. [Imp] Song Properties: Tooltips are shown for various controls. [Mod] Options: Removed the "space bar repeats previous action" option, as it did not work anymore since the new keyhandler is used; in fact, this option can be achieved instead by using the "on key hold" for the "quick paste" key shortcut. [Reg] Removed old "velocity" volume command, which was experimental and unused. [Mod] Replaced default VU-meter colours for the MPT scheme by more pleasant colours that were already used for the other themes. [Mod] Updated internet links (ModPlug Central Forums link is now a permalink) [Fix] MPTM Saving: A missing null pointer check crashed OpenMPT when trying to access a deleted instrument slot. [Fix] Multi window edit: When (un)muting a channel from the general tab in window 1, it was instantly shown in the pattern editor of window 2, but not vice versa. [Fix] Channel Manager: When removing channels using the channel manager, their names were not cleared properly. [Fix] Song Length Detection: *Much* more accurate song length detection! [Fix] Instrument IO: Flags from old ITI/XI files should also be loaded correctly now (broken in 1.18.00.00) [Fix] Plugin Editor: Changing a plugin parameter in MOD/S3M files doesn't mark them as modified anymore. [Fix] When using the "close file" shortcut several times in a row so that multiple messageboxes popped up, it was possible to crash OpenMPT. [Reg] Removed AutodetectITplaystyle option, since the tracker detection works reliably enough now. Tracker detection can not be ignored anymore now. Installer/release package [New] Try to find out what keymap file suits the user best. [New] Scan for previously installed VST Plugins [Imp] Use DDE commands to open files. [Imp] Copy config files from app's directory to appdata if necessary and possible. [Imp] User is asked if they want to keep personal settings. [Imp] With the new version of InnoSetup, a "real" portable setup can now finally be created. [Mod] Added OpenMPT 1.18 release notes document for package template [Mod] Updated DE_jojo.mkb [Mod] Updated Paul Legovitch's keymap (now also suitable for desktop keyboards); use this as the default "french" keymap in the installer. [Mod] Updated default keybindings. v1.18.00.00 (January 2010, revision 475) ---------------------------------------- General tab [Fix] Channel name input field was not limited properly. Sequence editor [New] Can now copy/cut/paste order selections. [Imp] Using the keyboard manager for shortcuts. 0...9, + and - keys are now also configurable. [Imp] Duplicate / Create new pattern shortcuts do also work here now. [Imp] Show cut/copy/paste orders in context menu. [Imp] Middle click can now also be used for queuing patterns. [Fix] Pasting orders now removes "+++" items if they are not supported by the current format. [Fix] Fixed display error when selecting multiple orders, inserting them and clicking on another order (only first order of previous selection was un-highlighted). Pattern tab::Pattern editing [New] New paste mode "push forward paste", which resembles the default paste behaviour of Impulse Tracker. Includes new shortcut. [New] New paste mode "paste flood" pastes the clipboard content again and again until it hits the bottom of the pattern (overflow paste will be disabled automatically if paste flood is used, for obvious reasons). [Imp] When using the MPTM format, plugin param changes are written to the pattern as PC Notes (instead of smooth midi macros). [Imp] Assume that the clipboard pattern format is IT (instead of MOD) if no information about the format is available. [Imp] Pattern c&p: convert pasted commands if necessary. [Mod] Pattern c&p: Mix paste shouldn't anymore trigger conversion on modcommands that weren't changed at all. Now, however, partial conversion will not be done so this still needs further fixing. [Fix] Pattern c&p: invalid commands are not pasted anymore. [Imp] If "record note off" is enabled and Note Off commands are not supported by the current format, try Note Cut and volume commands. [Mod] It is impossible to enter something into the volume column in MOD format now. [Mod] When interpolating PC notes, the plugin number and note type won't get overriden if the note type is already PC or PCs. [Fix] Pattern c&p: Mix paste should behave better with parameter control notes. [Fix] Amplify acted VERY weird when it was applied on an instrument that's not assigned to any sample. Should be a bit better now. [Fix] Amplify doesn't use volume column in MOD format anymore. [Fix] When recording live from the keyboard, SDx shouldn't exceed the song speed anymore. [Fix] Got rid of possible redundant undo points. [Fix] PC notes are now deleted properly (last column). [Fix] Copying only the param column of PC notes overwrote the value column when pasting them. [Fix] Entering Note Fade notes didn't work the "old style" way. Pattern tab::GUI [New] Channel rename dialog in channel header context menu. [Imp] Tidied up the upper panel. It fits perfectly on a 1024x768 screen with treeview enabled and also works on 800x600 with treeview disabled. With the new layout, about 8 more pattern rows can be seen in comparison to the old, bloated 1.17.02.* interface. [Mod] Due to this cleanup, the "split keyboard" feature has been removed from the interface. The split keyboard settings dialog can now be accessed by using a shortcut, which should be even faster than the old method. [Imp] If keyboard split is active, instrument drop list will show split instrument and split note. [Imp] Grey out pattern name input field when in MOD/S3M mode. [Imp] Added sequence selection edit control. [Mod] Instead of hiding the sequence name control, just disable it (looks better). [Fix] If the current pattern is the last possible pattern in the sequence, no "next pattern" is displayed. Pattern tab::Note properties [Imp] Hopefully correct limitation and explanation of "Set * waveform" parameters... [Imp] Better explanation of "Invert Loop" parameter. Pattern tab::Find/replace [Imp] When using Find&Replace, "follow song" will be disabled, because it's pointless and unusable with "follow song" on. [Fix] Search&Replace didn't create an undo point. Pattern tab::Misc [New] New keyboard shortcut in pattern context: Duplicate pattern. [Fix] When in sample mode, samples were never stopped when in new-style note off mode, which lead to sample jam when using long/looped samples. Sample tab [New] Sample Undo. 100 steps per sample (independent), undo buffer is cut off at a tenth of physical memory (that would be 400 MB for a system with 4 GB of RAM). Cutoff size can be specified by setting UndoBufferSize (in Megabytes) in section [Sample Editor] of mptrack.ini. [Imp] When creating a new sample using "resize", sample loop is activated automatically. [Imp] When sample is 8-bit, it will automatically be converted to 16-bit when applying time stretching / pitch shifting. [Imp] Can now enter insanely high values into sample frequency input field (as they are supported by Impulse Tracker), allow only 65536 Hz for S3M files. [Mod] Removed time stretcher's / pitch shifter's preview function as it's unnecessary now. [Fix] Insert Silence: Loop points were not updated when adding silence at the beginning of the sample [Fix] Actions such as time stretching and undo could trigger sample play. Instrument tab [Fix] When playing an instrument and disabling its envelopes at the same time, the toggled envelopes are stopped (prevents filter envelope from turning into a pitch envelope). [Fix] Sample map was broken when dealing with sample indexes greater than 255. [Fix] Update plugin list properly when cleaning up plugins while being on the instrument tab (possibly also improves instrument tab behaviour when working with multiple windows). Instrument tab::Envelope editor [New] Envelopes can be edited using keyboard. Various keyboard shortcuts have been added to move and edit envelope points. This uses a common "drag and drop" node with mouse editing, so a point can first be clicked and the be moved with f.e. cursor keys. [Imp] When creating a new envelope, automatically enable it as well. [Imp] Mark currently selected envelope node yellow for better visibility when using keyboard editing. [Mod] Middle line is also shown for volume envelope. Comments tab [Imp] If sample size is < 1 KB, amount of bytes is shown instead of "0 KB". [Fix] The lower part of the tab was receiving update messages that were not even meaningful to this tab (f.e. speed changes), so it was updating quite often modules that have alternating speed and the toolbar was "blinking"... Only letting in important update messages now. Treeview [New] Show sequences in song treeview. Sequences can be inserted, duplicated and deleted by right-clicking the sequence items. [New] Clicking on a mod item (i.e. a filename node) switches to the corresponding window. [New] Added right-click options for mod items. [New] Display playing samples / instruments (only those that are assigned to a sample) using green triangles. Can be enabled from setup screen. [New] Muted samples and instruments are shown with a different icon. [Imp] Can now dragondrop orders, even between sequences. [Imp] Double-clicking order items and pattern items should work now. [Imp] Show whole sequence (don't stop on first "---" item). [Imp] Switching between sequences should be easier now. There's a context menu entry for it and double-clicking on an empty sequence will switch to it (as there are no orderlist item to click on). [Imp] Different icons for VST effects / instruments VST / MIDI mapping [Imp] VST Selector: Different icons for effects / instruments. [Fix] When moving around plugins, param control notes are now also updated. [Fix] MIDI mapping: Pattern record checkbox wasn't updated properly. [Fix] MIDI mapping: Shift key erroneously opened MIDI mapping dialog in some cases. However, it does not work properly with all plugins anymore (e.g. sliders in Synth1 are not shift-clickable anymore) Mod conversion [Imp] When converting a song that has subsongs to MPTM format, the user is asked if those subsongs should be converted into multiple sequences. [Imp] If possible, all MPTM sequences will be merged into the first sequence. This also tries to fix patterns with Bxx effects. [Imp] Better conversion of MOD / XM E4x / E7x command. [Imp] Better conversion of note off commands when converting to .mod. [Imp] Removing channel features (pan/vol) in formats where they're not supported. [Imp] Insert pattern break commands when resizing patterns to 64 rows that were smaller. [Imp] Changing between MOD and XM format limits speed / tempo commands (Fxx) properly now. [Imp] Trim sequence if it's too long (f.e. in MOD format). [Imp] Remove sample vibrato and sustain loops for MOD / S3M. Playback (see also format-specific changes below) [Imp] Added some more standard playback frequencies (176KHz, 192KHz) to setup. [Fix] When jumping around in a module, high offset value is also memorized. IT::Saving [Fix] Original IT specs concerning max orders/patterns were wrong. IT can handle up to 257 orders (as the last order is always ---, so it's actually 256 accessible orders), so the saving routines were also updated a bit. [Fix] Save at least 2 order items. [Fix] IT files with empty sample slots made with MPT will now FINALLY save correctly in Impulse Tracker. [Fix] Compatibility Export: Don't store "extended filter range" flag. IT::Loading [Imp] Removed unnecessary / wrong pre-amp limits. [Fix] IT files with global volume 0 are now loaded correctly. [Fix] In some very rare (almost only theoretical) cases, the last IT instrument would not be loaded in previous versions. Use correct instrument header size (1.xx or 2.xx header) for comparison when loading instrument headers. IT::Playback compatibility [Fix] Reset NNA actions on every note (tentative fix, fixes spx-farspacedance.it). [Fix] Fixes from SchismTracker: VolSwing, PanSwing, PPS. [Fix] Out of range offset command with Old FX on. [Fix] Impvored S3x / S4x / S5x handling. S3M [Fix] ST3 compatibility: Only allow waveforms 0 to 3 for S3x / S4x / S5x. [Fix] The S3M format actually knows muted channels. This was not taken into account before. XM::Loading [Imp] Allow to load modules with an empty order list (as they are, in fact, valid XM files). XM::Playback compatibility [Fix] Almost perfect arpeggio emulation (only a few notes are still wrong). Thanks, Ian Luck! [Fix] Rogue note delays are now retriggering the instrument. [Fix] Perfect emulation of buggy Rxy behaviour. Thanks to Ian Luck for helping me with this. [Fix] Command X modplug extensions are now ignored in FT2 compat mode. MOD [Imp] Mod Creation: Ensure that the order length fits the current mod specifications (this was problematic when creating .MOD files). [Fix] Mod Creation: MOD Panning scheme is set up correctly now. [Fix] MOD Loader: 8Chn Startrekker modules ("FLT8") are loaded correctly now. MOD::Playback compatibility [New] Added song flag "PT 1.x Mode" (for .MOD files) that enabled on-the-fly sample swapping as ProTracker did it. [New] Support for the EFx command (Invert Loop). One has to pay attention when working with this command as it effictively trashes samples. [Imp] MOD Playback: if PT1.x playback flag is set, 8xx and E8x panning commands are now ignored. Module cleanup [New] New cleanup feature: Merge sequences. [Imp] Pattern Cleanup does now also work with multiple sequences. [Imp] Improved cleanup dialog, with new options (remove all *, optimize samples). MP3/Wav export [New] Wave Convert: Normalization is back as experimental feature. [New] Wav/Mp3 export: Show estimated remaining time. [Imp] Mp3 export: Removed 60 minutes limit. [Fix] Mp3 export: Fixed possible issue with very long mod files (such as Skaven's "Beyond the Network"). [Fix] Wave Convert: The wave convert dialog had two default buttons, one of them (the "default default button") didn't make sense. Colour setup [New] Channel separators can now have custom colors. [New] Can now specify the blend colour for prev/next patterns. [Mod] Renamed FT2 and IT presets to "Blue" and "Green", as they did not resemble FT2 and IT in any way. [Mod] Added VU Meter colours for the pattern colour presets. [Mod] Changed the "Buzz" colour scheme a bit. [Fix] When loading colour presets that have less colours are defined than required, the missing colours will be replaced by those from the "MPT" preset. [Fix] When no INI file was present, channel separators were completely black. Keymaps [New] Three new keymaps: French Laptop by Paul Legovitch, Norwegian MPT Classic by Rakib, US_mpt_classic_(snu). [Mod] Updated DE_jojo.mkb [Imp] When loading a keymap file and unrecognized lines are found, only one messagebox is shown. [Mod] All keymaps have been updated to version 1 and updated to contain the orderlist shortcuts. [Fix] Keymap files have a version number now (currently version 1). If keymap file doesn't have a version number (that's version 0), the orderlist keys will be added automatically so that orderlist remains usable in new builds. Tuning [New] Can import scl-files. Upper limit for note count is 64. [Imp] Tuning dialog: Using the default tuning path as default path for Import/Export dialog Module format support [New] Can now import RIFF AM and RIFF AMFF files, as well as J2B (Jazz Jackrabbit 2 music) files, which are compressed AM(FF) files. [New] Can now import PSM16 files (Silverball, early versions of Epic Pinball). [Fix] MED Loader: Possible error when loading orderlist. [Fix] MDL Loader: Various fixes (taken from Schism Tracker). [Fix] IMF Loader: Slightly wrong instrument loader (this for once didn't break anything, though). [Fix] AMF Loader: Missing break command. Misc [Imp] All Loaders: Fixed string handling to filter out all null chars in song/sample/instrument/etc. names. This avoids "empty" instrument names that occured in a couple of .IT files before. [Imp] Main window: Extended paste mechanisms (mix, flood, push forward) have been moved into a sub menu. [Imp] Main window: Improved accelerator keys in the edit menu. [Imp] Added "split keyboard settings" dialog to the "edit" menu and updated the shortcuts there (goto was missing). [Imp] SoundTouch: Update to version 1.5.0. [Mod] Store configuration and tuning files in %APPDATA% if possible. Can be disabled by adding UseAppDataDirectory=0 to [Paths] in mptrack.ini ("portable mode"). [Mod] Mod Creation: When clicking on the "new" button, the newly created module will be of the same type as the currently active document. Should probably be an option. [Mod] Made Graph and Pattern Randomizer shortcuts invisible, as they are usless. [Mod] Compatibility Export: Use module working directory in "save as" dialog. [Mod] Using MS Shell Dlg font instead of MS Sans Serif in resource file. [Mod] Changed some "modplug tracker" strings to "OpenMPT". [Fix] When using a Load/Save dialog, MPT's key handler will be disabled so that common shortcuts like F2, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Esc. etc. can still be used. [Fix] Mod Loaders: Very short sample sustain loops are now also accepted (fixes ckabsenc.it). [Fix] Mod Creation: Filling the whole mod title field with null bytes on creation to avoid funky characters in other programs. [Fix] When moving program files to %APPDATA%, take care of the keyboard settings path in the INI file. [Fix] Fixed possible issue with long (12 chars) instrument filenames. [Fix] Autosave: 'Modified since last autosave'-flag wasn't always updated. [Fix] Fixes to handling of 32 chars long instrument name. v1.17.03.02 (test build) (September 2009, revision 371) ------------------------------------------------------- General tab [Imp] "Modtype" dialog will revert mod flags to previous values if user presses the Cancel button. [Imp] Modtype Dialog: Added suffixes "IT" and "S3M" to some mod flags for more clarity. [Fix] VSTi / Sample volume sliders only go up to 255 instead of 256. [Fix] Document will now be set modified when moving or inserting plugins. Sequence editor [New] Multiple orders can be selected in the pattern sequence. At the moment, it is possible to insert, delete, duplicate and dragondrop multiple orders. [New] Added context menu item "Render to wave", to render one or more patterns to wave. Pattern tab [New] Paste will now optionally continue on next pattern (overflow paste). [New] Channel reset(stops note, sets initial chn settings). Available from channel header context menu and new key binding. [New] When shift-clicking somewhere, a selection will be drawn from the previous cursor position to the new position. [Imp] Showing descriptions of "special" notes in the statusbar, like it's done for effects. [Imp] Shrinking patterns is now also possible with patterns < 32 rows. [Imp] Solo/Unmute context menu has a bit more dynamical transition menu points (experimental). [Imp] Added some checks to prevent entering notes which are not supported by the module type. [Mod] Entering note with row spacing enabled can now move cursor to next pattern if continuous scroll is enabled. [Fix] Inserting a new pattern won't resize it to 32 rows anymore if the current pattern has less than 32 rows. [Fix] Show "offset" and "velocity" volume commands in default color instead of "pitch" color. [Fix] Fixed weird combination of context menu shortcut and "always center active row" being disabled (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=3203). [Fix] Keyboard split note was off by one. [Fix] Set max. row spacing / skipping value to 64, visibly clamp values > 64 to 64 in the edit box. Pattern tab::Note properties [Imp] Added description to high offset command in note properties dialog. [Imp] 8-Bit Panning slider also has the "Surround" state in S3M format now. [Imp] Proper display of Pxy effect in the note editor window. [Imp] Explanation for Tremor effect. [Imp] Completed descriptions for extended MOD/XM, fixed display of several effects. [Imp] Added description for S1x - Glissando Control. [Fix] When double-clicking on a note in the pattern editor, the noteMin offset was not taken into consideration, which lead to wrong information for some formats. Pattern tab::Find/replace [Imp] Don't reset "replace all" flag after every search. [Mod] "Search in whole song" and "Replace all" are now enabled by default. [Fix] Replacing also works with high instrument numbers now. Also, empty instrument numbers won't be affected by "ins+1" anymore. [Fix] Notes that cannot be used in the given format are not shown in the dropdown combo. [Fix] Made comboboxes more convenient to use. Pattern tab::Macro config [Imp] Also show the current preset for Zxx config (Z80 - ZFF). [Fix] "Show All" FX display starts at 1 instead of 0, like all other FX enumerations. (tx Rakib) Sample tab [New] Sample drawing. [New] Add silence to sample.

[New] Batch export samples (shift + click on "save sample" icon). [New] Added setting "FinetuneStep" to mptrack.ini section "[Sample Editor]". [Imp] Better loop point handling when deleting sample selections. [Fix] Limit sample vibrato fields properly. Vibrato Sweep ranges from 0 to 255 now. [Fix] Remove special chars from sample filenames so the "save as" dialog will show up on OSs < Vista. [Fix] When using the spin control, frequency is not clamped to [2000, 96000] anymore. [Fix] Removed tuning from up/downsampling for MOD files which detuned them when saving. [Fix] Transpose is now disabled when using MOD format. Instrument tab [New] Envelope points can now be added by shift-clicking somewhere in the envelope editor. Middle mouse button click removes the nearest point. [Imp] Sample map shows tuning-specific notename on context menu. [Imp] Added "Map all notes to " to instrument mapping context menu. [Mod] Also show values from 0 to 64 for filter envelope (instead of -32 to 32). [Fix] Pitch/Pan input field allows negative values. [Fix] Proper limits for IT/XM fadeout values. [Fix] Playing correct note in the instrument mapping control (notable difference when editing the scale from bottom to top). [Fix] No relative values are shown for envelopes with no release node (status bar). (tx xaimus) [Fix] Remove special chars from sample filenames so the "save as" dialog will show up on OSs < Vista. [Fix] Fixed crash in instrument view that occured if RowsPerBeat was 0. [Fix] Fix to crash that occurred when multiple windows had instrument tab of the same document open. Comments tab [Imp] Default view mode is instruments instead of samples for XM files. [Imp] Instrument / Sample list: Double click will switch to instrument / sample. Treeview [Fix] Playing sounds from a soundfont was broken. [Fix] Deleting patterns from a module will also reset their names. VST / MIDI mapping [New] Editing a plug param in its editor while holding shift key will now open MIDI mapping dialog. [New] Can now record MIDI mapping changes to pattern. [Mod] Changed host IDs and a couple of related return values. If compatibility problems occur, old IDs can be set with ini-settings ("HostProductString", "HostVendorString", "HostVendorVersion" in section "[VST Plugins]"). [Fix] Some minor tweaks and fixes to the MIDI mapping dialog. Mod conversion [Imp] Convert E9x to Q8x as Q0x actually means "continue" and not "no change" for the volume change. [Imp] Even better conversion of various pattern effects, including 8-Bit Panning, Arpeggio (XM swaps the two parameters) including Surround, Note Cut/Off/Fade conversion, MOD retrigger, XM->IT volume column limitations, illegal notes). [Imp] Proper conversion of Pxy effect. [Imp] Full volume column conversion, resetting default global volume / tempo / speed for MOD files. [Imp] \xx is converted to Zxx when converting to / saving S3M files or "compatible" IT files. [Imp] Somewhat decent conversion of Kxx (Key Off) from XM to S3M/IT. [Imp] Trim instrument envelopes if they're too long for the new format. [Imp] Convert 500/600 commands properly from MOD to any format, Adjust sustain loops for XM files, removed XM arpeggio conversion (it might be unwanted). [Imp] Try to use fix commands that don't have a "memory" (00 value) in XM (Arpeggio) and MOD format (Arpeggio and a few others) by using the previous value. [Fix] Proper conversion between IT 8-Bit panning effect and S3M 7-Bit panning effect with surround. [Fix] Unset release nodes were corrupted when converting modules. Playback (see also format-specific changes below) [Imp] Mixing: It's now possible to go down to 1ms latency (works with ASIO). [Imp] If restart position is 0 and a subtune is played (i.e. a tune separated with a "---" pattern), OpenMPT will now try to jump back to the first order of this subtune instead. [Imp] Added option to not reset all channels and variables when looping a module. [Fix] 4-Bit panning didn't disable surround sound (fixed in compatibility mode in IT/MPTM/XM). [Fix] Don't ignore value of pattern break commands on last pattern anymore. MPTM [New] New experimental parameter controls (PC notes) for controlling plug params. [New] Can now have multiple sequences in a module (access from orderlist context menu). [New] Allow up to 240 envelope points. [New] IT "Note Fade" command: This existed in IT's player routines already, but there was no way to actually use it in the editor. Triggering an invalid note would cause a note fade, so this is a new note type. [New] Channel settings(vol&pan) for channels after 64 will now be saved in the file. [New] MPTM command S7D explicitely enforces pitch envelope, S7E enforces filter envelope. IT [New] IT "Note Fade" command: This existed in IT's player routines already, but there was no way to actually use it in the editor. Triggering an invalid note would cause a note fade, so this is a new note type. [New] Channel settings(vol&pan) for channels after 64 will now be saved in the file. IT::Saving [Imp] Compatibility Export: Save with custom "tracker version" header field (same as for S3M). [Imp] Compatibility Export: Removed stereo sample support. [Imp] Use row highlighting places in IT header. [Fix] Compatibility Export: Ignore new MPT effects. [Fix] Compatibility Export: doesn't screw up patterns anymore if the module has more than 64 channels. [Fix] Compatibility Export: Changes various version numbers and settings in compatibility export to better match Impulse Tracker made IT files. [Fix] Limit fadeout values properly. IT::Loading [Imp] Can now load IT files with very small patterns (< 4 rows). [Imp] Setting the "last saved with" version to 1.16 (instead of "created with") if module seems to be made with the old MPT. [Imp] Reading our custom tracker version in the header now as well. [Imp] Detect more versions of MPT that did stupid things (can be seen in the "last saved with" field). [Imp] Row highlighting in IT header is now recognized. [Fix] Unset release env nodes for IT files made with IT 1.x, fix fadeout values. [Fix] Don't set "made with modplug" flag for IT files that were made with compatibility export. [Fix] Proper adjustment of sample pre-amp. [Fix] It is now possible to load IT files that have no samples. [Fix] 31 BPM is an allowed default tempo. Tentative fix: Clamp to 32 (instead of 125). [Fix] OpenMPT was loading the volume column command hx (vibrato depth) as ux (vibrato speed) and also saving it like this. In the pattern editor, ux was allowed, hx was not but it should be the other way around. Now, hx is always used but ux is still loaded correctly for old modules made with MPT/OpenMPT. IT::Playback compatibility [Imp] More improvements to Vibrato, Tremolo and Panbrello. [Imp] Retrigger (Qxy) works like in Impulse Tracker now (when in compatible mode) (test #15) [Imp] Tremor (Ixy) works like in Impulse Tracker now (when in compatible mode) [Fix] Better sample vibrato compatibility. Vibrato Sweep isn't perfect yet, though. [Fix] Offset beyond sample range. [Fix] Don't reset Tremolo on new note, don't ignore tremolo if note volume is 0. [Fix] Ignore S[345]x with x > 3. [Fix] Multisample instruments change with no entry in the instrument column (fixes spx-shuttledeparture.it) (test me). [Fix] Pattern loop count won't be reset on pattern transition (fixes gm-trippy01.it). [Fix] Tempo slides won't exceed 255 BPM in compatible mode. [Fix] Random waveforms (vibrato, tremolo, panbrello) (test #19). [Fix] Fixed handling of very short pitch / filter envelopes (test #24). [Fix] Panning fx (Xxx, S8x, pxx) override pan swing (test #20). [Fix] SD0 / SC0 is now interpreted as SD1 / SC1 in compatibility mode (test #22). [Fix] Portamento up / down resets the destination of tone portamento (test #23). [Fix] Out of range global volume, local global volume slides. S3M::Saving [Imp] Orderlist is now as small as possible (multiple of 2 instead of multiple of 16); Using ST3's default UltraClick value. [Imp] Using an own version number in the header now, just like all the other trackers. [Imp] Don't write unnecessary invalid order items in the order table. [Fix] Ignore new MPT effects. [Fix] Patterns are now saved correctly. Previously, the last few rows might have come up as garbage in ST3 when they were empty. [Fix] Clamp sample pre-amp to [32;127] instead of just taking the lower 7 bits. (Default pre-amp value was 128, which resulted in pre-amp 0 when saving). S3M::Loading [Imp] Recognize OpenMPT version in S3M header. [Fix] Limit min sample preamp value to 16. [Fix] Small modifications to pattern loader to load somewhat broken S3M files (fix from xmp). [Fix] Don't reset global volume to max if it is 0 for "new" S3M modules. [Fix] Smarter Zxx conversion without message box. [Fix] Disable loop for sample with very short loop at the beginning. [Fix] Samples with very short loops (2 bytes) will now load correctly. This fixes for example 94hitmix.s3m and spectral.s3m. S3M::Misc [Fix] Module Creation / Loading: Sane default volume settings for MOD / S3M files again (128 global volume, 48 sample volume) [Fix] S3M compatibility: Notes with SD0 are now ignored, SC0 is completely ignored XM [New] Compatibility Export. [New] Compatibility play-mode. XM::Loading [New] Detects compatibility (i.e. modules not made with mpt) mode automatically when loading XM-file. [Imp] Make XMs with strange pattern header sizes load correctly (removed some code that was there to make really, really broken XMs load - would this work at all?). [Imp] Setting the "last saved with" version to 1.16 (instead of "created with") if module seems to be made with the old MPT. [Fix] Various changes to make XMs that have been compressed with BoobieSqueezer load correctly. [Fix] Can now load XM Version 1.02 and 1.03. [Fix] More intelligent conversion of Speed / Tempo commands. [Fix] Don't ignore last pattern if XM file has no instruments. XM::Saving [Imp] Compatibility export: Export cuts off channels > 32. [Imp] Setting "OpenMPT " in the "made with" field (as any other tracker put their signature in here as well). [Fix] Always save with a channel number that's a multiple of two so FT2 will load the file correctly. [Fix] F20 won't turn into G20. [Fix] Limit fadeout values properly. [Fix] More intelligent conversion of Speed / Tempo commands. XM::Playback compatibility [Fix] Portamento + New Note with no previous note (tentative fix), Offset beyond sample range. [Fix] More compatible "Note Off + Something" actions. [Fix] Note Off with instrument number causes fadeout for samples that have no envelope. [Fix] Volume command Ux should not enable Vibrato at all, it only sets the vibrato speed. [Fix] Pxy effect was too deep. [Fix] Using MilkyTracker's arpeggio logic for better XM arpeggio compatibility - still not perfect! [Fix] Tempo slides won't exceed 255 BPM in compatible mode. [Fix] In compatibility mode, retrigger with vxx on the same channel will always reset the retriggered note's volume. [Fix] More compatible handling of Kxx effect. [Fix] Pattern loops are now handeled correctly (using compatibility switch). [Fix] Out of range global volume, local global volume slides. MOD [Imp] Module Creation: MOD files have 4 channels by default. [Imp] Moved loop length check from compatibility export to normal save. There you go, Amiga users! :) [Fix] Module Creation / Loading: Sane default volume settings for MOD / S3M files again (128 global volume, 48 sample volume). [Fix] Inserting more than 128 orders in MOD format is not possible anymore. MOD::Loading [Fix] More intelligent conversion of Speed / Tempo commands. [Fix] Last pattern was not loading in .MODs that have no samples. MOD::Saving [Fix] The compatibility export was only working properly for 8-bit mono samples. [Fix] More intelligent conversion of Speed / Tempo commands. [Fix] F20 won't turn into G20. MOD::Playback compatibility [Fix] 8-Bit Panning is not 7-Bit panning (using 800...8FF instead of 800...880 - fixes f.e. DOPE.MOD). [Fix] Pattern loops are now handeled correctly. Setup [New] New default directories: plugins and plugin presets. [New] Button to reset ramping and resampling to default values. [New] Shareable colour schemes (via config dialog). [Imp] Added note to "always center active row" hint that this is required to be enabled for greyed out patterns. [Imp] Slight redesign of the WAV / MP3 export dialogs. [Mod] Changes to default general options configuration. Module format support [New] Can now import IMF (Imago Orpheus) modules. [New] Can now import GDM (General Digital Music / BWSB sound system) files. [Fix] A brand new PSM loader! Ditched the old and buggy loader as the new loader works way better, it can even handle modules from Extreme Pinball. [Fix] 669 Loader: Small modification so corehop.669 can be loaded; Note: Loader is still buggy like hell. Misc [New] Compo cleanup. [New] Rearrange samples is back! And this time, it's even fully functional! [Imp] XI Saver: Fill out the "created with" field properly (OpenMPT instead of FastTracker 2). [Imp] MP3 export: Write ID3v2.4 instead of ID3v1 tags. Includes various changes to length limits, genre limitations and what's written in the tags. [Imp] Mod Specs: Decreased minimum pattern size for XM and IT format to 1 row. [Imp] Mod Specs: It is now possible to have modules with 1-3 channels, as this only seems to cause trouble with MOD files (so they still have 4 channels minimum of course). [Imp] Autosave: If a module has not been changed since the last autosave, it will not be autosaved. [Imp] Module loader: If plugins are missing, a single MessageBox is shown. [Imp] LHA Decoder: Several fixes (patch by kode54). [Mod] Default keybings are now included in the executable -> default keybindings are available even without external keybinding file. [Fix] Menus: Added the correct shortcut keys again and replaced the last(?) remaining "Midi" labels by "MIDI". [Fix] Wav Export / Channel Manager / Pattern Editor: Channel names with leading space char are now accepted. [Fix] General tab / Main bar / Loaders / Conversion: Fixed arbitrary speed limits (64 on general tab, 127 on main bar). [Fix] Keyboard manager: Octave offset for key descriptions is now C, not A. [Fix] Patterns: Reset pattern name when deleting pattern. Internal [Var] There are now project files for Visual Studio 2008. [Var] Notable refactoring including renaming of MODINSTRUMENT to MODSAMPLE and INSTRUMENTHEADER to MODINSTRUMENT. v1.17.02.54 (June 2009, revision 274) ------------------------------------- [Fix] Pattern tab: It's now possible to use the old note fade behaviour when playing notes (see setup->general).

[Fix] Extended song/instrument properties were not always loaded correctly for IT (bug introduced in 1.17.02.50)(http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?p=16335) [Fix] Fix for faulty tabs when switching between modtypes with and without instrumenttab. (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=1614) [Fix] Fix for possible crash on save/load when using more than 64 channels with MPTM. [Mod] Modified flag is not set when sliding tempo/global volume slider for MOD file. [Mod] When setting instrument pan, checking whether instrument samples have set pan enabled and optionally disabling them. [New] Unmute all(on transition) shortcutkeys should now work in orderlist context. [Mod] Disabled Set Pan in sample tab for XM. [New] Half/double pattern rownumber buttons to pattern properties dialog. [Mod] Show prev/next pattern now shows pattern over +++ orderlist items. [New] Channel status in status bar now show channel volume info.

[New] MIDI controller mapping to plug params. [New] Ability to take MIDI volume into account when playing notes. [New] Ability to pass MIDI to plug. [New] Ability to start/continue/stop play with certain MIDI messages (untested) [New] Ability to choose how volume commands behave for plugs. [Fix] Fixed sending wrong MIDI message in ::MidiCC. [New] Keyshortcuts for preset navigation jumps in VST editor. [Fix] Default VST editor preset field name validation in the menubar. [New] Added ability to edit various flags in song properties.

[Mod] .bak-files won't now be shown with "All modules" filter when loading modules. [Fix] Show row playtime didn't on certain cases work on first pattern row (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=2044) [Fix] Fix to faulty play with certain instruments without notes in IT compatible playmode (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=2080) [Fix] Pattern number box didn't open pattern properties when using MPTm. (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=2073) [Fix] Fixed wrong MIDI CC names in macro editor. [Fix/Mod] Setting volume to 0(v00) in pattern didn't necessarily set volume to 0 when using volume random variation for instrument. All other random variation behaviors are changed as well; now the 'swing' is applied directly to channel values instead of using swing addition, and by default the swing effect is reset on new note. (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=2074) [Mod] MPTm made with this version will be recognized as IT in earlier versions. [Mod] Various validity checks for read data in ITP loading. v1.17.02.49 (17 Nov 2007, revision 194) --------------------------------------- [New] Improved VST preset navigation in VST window. Known problem: doesn't update if preset is changed from VSTs own preset navigation. [New] Improvements in IT compatibility playmode. When loading ITs, if file doesn't seem modplug made, then automatically setting IT compatibility playmode.

(http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=2005) [Fix] Fixed pattern position indicator jump when clicking VST-box in channel header. (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=2014) [Mod] Custom tuning related - file format changes - changed interpretation of finesteps: now zero finesteps means that finesteps are equal to notesteps, previously zero finesteps disabled portamentos etc) - Pitch slide between notes with portamentos is now specialised also for other tuning types than just geometric(changes behavior). Previously behavior was 'geometric' for all types. [Fix] Fix pattern search, which could search for the wrong param. Also enable typing of desired param value rather than only selecting from listbox. (http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=1799) [Fix] Delay-load winhttp.dll and don't die if it can't be found, e.g. on win98.

If you had any problems with the update notification, please report a bug. [Fix] Save pattern scrollbar position when switching to other tabs [Fix] If the cursor is moved but it is not on screen, move both horizontal and vertical scrollbars to make it visible. [Fix] Fix saturation on old modules (introduced in 1.17.02.46). Loading tracks with no saved mixlevel setting defaults to 'original'. Starting new IT, MPTM, ITP or XM defaults to '117RC3'. Starting new MOD or S3M defaults to 'original'. [Fix] Tree view FX list now starts with FX01 instead of FX00. [Mod] Pattern skipping behavior returned to that of .45 [Fix] internal: ifdefs for compilation on vs2005 [Fix] internal: VS Edit&Continue fix (gone broken in 'RC3'branch) [Mod] Minor modifications(cleanup of channel state reset code, removed unused orderundo-vector.) v1.17.02.46 ----------- [New] Experimental MPTm format: - Internally, it is still very close to the IT-based format. - Order&pattern limit increased to 65000; whole range not tested :) (Note that modeffects such as position jump doesn't cover the whole range unless the #-extension can be used(haven't tested)) [New] User definable tuning modes for instruments: - Only available for MPTm - Ratio value as well as note name for every key can be assigned invidually; gives rather free hands for experiments. - Every instrument can have it's own tuning - Tunings can be saved to file and loaded from file. - IMPORTANT: When using tunings, behavior of various modcommands such as portamento have been changed, and new behaviors are still to be decided. [New] In song properties, option to increase playback compatibility with original Impulse Tracker behavior. Is in no way complete; currently affects only a couple of differences. Many differences are still there. [New] Ability to load multiple mods/samples/instruments from corresponding load dialogs. - Known issue: Intermittent failures. [New] 32-bit float wav import [Fix] 24/32-bit PCM wav sample import fixed [New] Playback control additions: 'Solo on transition' & 'Mute on transition'. Available from pattern view context menu(right click). [New] Envelope points can be scaled by a factor through context menu on envelopeview(right click) [New] Calculator of playback time (measured from start) at the beginning of any row of any pattern (uses existing modlength calculator). - Known limitation: When the row is within pattern loop, doesn't give all possible times. [New] SCx now sends note-off to VSTis at tick x. [New] New mixmode (called 1.17RC3): bypass global preamp, force soft panning, provide explicit dB value for sample attenuation. WARNING: this mixmode is subject to change. [New] Check for updates on startup. To disable, set CheckForUpdates=0 in mptrack.ini. [Fix] Plugin list window remembers its position/size even on cancel. [Fix] Fix odd window position on very first startup (before mptrack.ini is created). [Fix] When opening instruments, load dialog didn't remember its previous path. [Fix] In general tab, it was possible to give longer modname than the fileformat could save. [Fix] Instruments associates with VSTis no longer also need to be associated to a sample in order to play. [Fix] Trash characters to empty ITP comments should no longer appear. [Fix] Channel state should now be updated correctly when e.g. moving channels through channel manager. [Fix] It should no longer be possible to remove all channels from channel manager. [Mod] Channel states resetting when jumping between orders from orderlist. - NOTE: While this fixes a bug (behavior change) introduced in the tuning branch(?), it also changes quite prominent behavior so can annoy people - might need to be modified at some point. [Mod] Added version number to the mainframe title. [Mod] Changed the 'order message' at the bottom bar of the screen "Position x of y" to "Position x of y (x in hex of y in hex)". [Mod] Lots of smaller (internal) changes. v1.17.02.45 ----------- [New] "Pitch to tempo lock" instrument setting: define the tempo at which your instrument loops correctly, and it will be pitched automatically to match the song's current tempo. [New] Notification when attempting to modify pattern but pattern record is off. [New] Orderlist margins: you can define how many slots to keep visible around the active pattern as the orderlist scrolls [Fix] Fixes for various unexpected pattern loop state changes. [Fix] Fixes to IT Style clear. [Fix] Memory management fixes and misc other bug fixes. [Fix] ITP loading fixed (I broke it in v1.17.02.44) [Fix] Time estimation fixed for tracks with pattern break+XParam. [Fix] "Last saved with" version number was not always saved correctly - fixed v1.17.02.44 ----------- [New] Added release section to volume envelope (see: http://openmpt.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Manual/InstrumentReleaseEnvelope). IT only. [Fix] Overflow fixes in file loading functions (see: http://aluigi.altervista.org/adv/mptho-adv.txt) [Fix] Greyed out irrelevant items in the orderlist context menu. v1.17.02.43 ----------- [New] You can now load up new plugins from anywhere, not just the General tab. Select "Plugin Manager..." from the view menu. This can also be assigned to a global hotkey. Limitation: currently plugins added to a song in this manner with always be put in the first empty slot. In a future version you'll be able to choose the slot directly from that window. [New] "Cleanup Plugins" to remove any plugs that are not associated to a channel and not used by an instrument and not used as an output for any used plugs. [Fix] Fixed channel limits. Should be able to correctly save IT pattern data with up to 127 chans. There's only space for 64 channel headers though (channel names etc..). XMs restricted to 64 chans. [Fix] Added channel limit check when adding chans from the pattern editor. [Fix] Fixed instant crash with SampleTank 2.1. v1.17.02.42 ----------- [New] "Compatibility export" in file menu: save as 'plain' IT, without all of OpenMPT's crap. IT only for now (not XM). [Fix] Set instrument in pattern editor should work when no note is specified (tx Torvus - http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=470) [Fix] Restart position saved in IT (tx LPChip - http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=473) [Fix] Loop song now works even if restart pos falls on +++ (tx LPChip - http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=463) [Fix] Last used tempo is applied even when playback is triggered from instrument panel. (tx LPChip - http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=480) [Mod] User now gets a warning when loading MDA Degrade (tx fisk0 - http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.php?t=467) v1.17.02.41 ----------- [New] Pattern record state is now saved to ini [Fix] Fixed the following settings that were not saving correctly: mod document window status, row spacing, channel VU meters, channel effect visibility, Most recent files list, Toolbar settings. [Fix] Process priority no longer defaults to high. v1.17.02.40 ----------- [New] Added indicator of currently playing pattern to orderlist. [New] 'Loop pattern' and 'follow song' keys should now work when orderlist has focus. [New] Removed registry dependencies. All settings will now be saved to ini file. [Fix] Correcly update orderlist position when cycling through patterns [Fix] Fixed orderlist GUI update on ctrl-transition when in patternloop mode [Fix] Moving a channel should now correctly take into account record-channels and pending mutes [Fix] Switching autodelay off in the options now works for note-offs as well. [Fix] Some mod-effects like 'pattern jump' and 'break pattern' no longer conflict with pattern loop toggling. [Fix] Fixed bad capping of random cutoff variation (tx LPChip) [Fix] Fixed crash on loading ITP with pattern names (tx Relabsoluness) [Fix] Fixed incorrect version number in saved files (tx Relabsoluness) [Fix] Improved screen position restoration (tx Snu, Waxhead) [Mod] Code cleanups: removed old hotkey code v1.17.02.39 ----------- [New] Remove and insert channels directly from pattern editor via channel header context menu [New] Toggle loop pattern playback mode with a shortcut key and a checkbox above the pattern editor [New] The automatic note delays that are inserted when recording notes live are now optional [Fix] Fixed auto note delays so they work with S3Ms too [Fix] Fixes and improvements to displayed instrument name in pattern editor [Fix] Fixes and improvements to instrument swap from context menu [Fix] Plugins should never cause song to be marked as modified if their GUI is not open (tx LPChip) [Mod] Version number in executable properties now correlates with real OpenMPT version number [Mod] Restored solo/mute in pattern editor main context menu. v1.17.02.38 ----------- [Fix] Fixed possible buffer overrun in VST event queue [Fix] Changed handling of VSTi noteoffs to reduce unexpected "interaction" between notes on different channels (a VSTi note-on in chan1 could sometimes be blocked by a VSTi note-off on the same row in chan2) (tx ganja) [Fix] No longer issue MIDI bank & program message every time midi channel changes - this fixes HyperCanvas behaviour (tx ganja) [Fix] Fixed: new channel mute mode did not mute VSTis at all. [Fix] Fixed: changing mute mode while some channels were muted prevented them from being unmuted. [Fix] Fixed: editing a pattern from treeview by double clicking it was broken [Fix] Editing of note column of sample map is disabled for XMs (XM doesn't save that data). [Fix] Fixed: If you agreed to reorganized instrument during an instrument cleanup, nothing at all would happen. [Fix] Fixed Pattern amplification had no effect on instruments mapped to "phantom samples" (tx lpchip) v1.17.02.37 ----------- [New] Added new mute mode which maintains sample synchronisation. Enable it in the global settings (last checkbox). [New] Added macro presets to control MIDI ccs in midiCC window. [New] Added configurable keys for Song Properties, Pattern Properties & Macro Configuration. [Fix] Fixed incorrect volume when receiving notes from MIDI-in when beyond keyboard split mark. v1.17.02.36 ----------- [New] Added "Pass keypresses to plug" option in plugin GUI options menu, to prevent MPT from stealing keypresses from plugins that need them. [New] More intelligent instrument dropdown box in patten editor will show sample name if instrument has no name, and instrument's plugin name. [Fix] Options menu on plugin GUI sometimes failed to show checked options after closing and re-opening the window. [Fix] Channel headers properly updated after moving them in the channel manager (tx anboi). [Fix] Fixed crash when interpolating with keyboard shortcuts with a selection spanning a single row (tx lpchip). [Mod] Disabled period cap to allow playback of notes below A-0 (experimental). [Mod] Leave unavailable loop options visible (but greyed out) in sample editor context menu, to avoid confusion (tx lpchip). [Mod] Clicking in the notemap will set the active note to be the one that was clicked on, rather than just movin up/down by 1. [Mod] Changing the note in the notemap will no longer move down one note. ([New] volume commands without notes now send volume MIDI CC to plugs, but as far as I've seen, no plugs seem to respond to it.) v1.17.02.35 ----------- [New] Note delay (SDx) is written automatically during "live tracking" if there are no effects already on the existing row. [New] Preliminary parameter value recording should work a bit now with follow song on. Attempts to set correct macro if it exists. Will only overwite \xx. Does not work with certain plugs that don't give idle time back to the host during mouse down (e.g. Albino, Vanguard...), still trying to understand this. Please play with this & give feedback, but don't expect miracles yet. :) [Fix] Restored external 0-255 sample panning range with XM. [Mod] experimental: muting a channel with a VSTi playing should turn off the active note on that channel. [Mod] Midi pitch bend reset on each new note for that instrument's midi channel. v1.17.02.34 ----------- [New] Added dynamic instrument list for Change Instrument item in pattern ctx menu. [Mod] Disabled it for users who have opted for the old style context menu in general settings, + other minor change. [New] Added "Clear selection" item in pattern ctx menu [Mod] Can now set an instrument value for notes which previously had no attached instruments. [New] If you load a track with unrecognized plugins, you'll be prompted to search for the plugs on kvraudio. [Fix] Fixed rare crash on playback if playing a song with missing plugins. [Mod] Minor code cleanups v1.17.02.33 ----------- [Fix] Fixed plugin exceptions introduced 1.17.02.31 (misplaced conditional caused bad ptr in audioMasterAutomate case). v1.17.02.32 ----------- [Fix] Fixed typo in solo fix in 1.17.02.31. v1.17.02.31 ----------- [New] Automatically generate a macro for a param by touching that param on the plug's GUI. To try it, select an unused macro from the plug GUI's Info/Macros menu, then touch a param. [New] Added "unmute all" custom key. [Fix] Restored original MPT behaviour: If the cursor is in the effect letter column, and a key is pressed that corresponds to no known effects, that keypress will be applied to the effect param column. And vice versa.(tx Emperor) [Fix] Tentative fix: Changed effEditIdle dispatching behaviour in an attempt to fix issue with Lounge Lizard (http://www.modplug.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3710) Please let me know if this breaks GUI refreshes for other plugs. [Fix] Fixed: Minor bug in search and replace - searching for "compoud" effects like SDx sometimes failed. [Fix] Fixed: It was impossible to preview simultaneous notes in the pattern editor (tx Emperor) [Fix] Fixed: Changing a param in default plugin GUI could result in a continuous param update cycle until the param value returned by the plug stabilised. [Fix] Fixed: Unsoloing a previously soloed channel resulted in unmute all if other channels had since been unmuted. :) [Mod] Minor code cleanups ([New] Preliminary parameter value recording. Enable from plug GUI's Option menu. However it currently does not work correctly with follow song enabled: active mousing on a plug gui blocks the cursor, so all values get written in the same place. :)) v1.17.02.30 ----------- [Fix] Fixed drum program being offset by 1 on MIDI export. NB: MIDI import/export uses 0-127 range for midi program, whereas messages to plugins use 1-128 (0 is used to indicate that no program change is required). The MIDI import/export range should be adapted to use the 1-128 range at some point. v1.17.02.29 ----------- [Fix] Fixed 3 digit instrument numbers when there are less than 100 instruments. (http://www.modplug.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42006) [Fix] Fixed crash in plugin DNA/NNA check we transitionning between existing and non existing instruments. (http://www.modplug.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42006) v1.17.02.28 (official RC2 release) ---------------------------------- [Fix] Fixed sample editor display bug with "auto" zoom level. [Fix] Internal: project configuration changes. v1.17.02.27 ----------- [Fix] XMs saved in OpenMPT should no longer have a bunch of blank patterns at the end when played in XMPlay. [Fix] Some instrument properties were saved incorrectly if an instrument had been deleted (either from song cleanup or treeview). [Mod] Hiding "Test" plugin mix mode; minor cosmetic changes. v1.17.02.26 ----------- [Fix] Added volume ramping on global volume change in RC2 mix mode. Should eliminate most clicks on global volume change. Try increasing general ramping in the player settings dialog if it's still too clicky. [Fix] Arpeggio with XM was messed up because implicit transposes were not always taken into account. I introduced this bug shortly after touching the code for the very first time, over a year ago. :) I dread to think what will fall appart now this is fixed.. XM users, test away!! :) (tx LPChip) [Mod] Plugins are no longer forcefully informed of samplerate on first playback if it has not changed since initialisation. This works around a problem we were having with Crystal where the voice oscillator type soundfont was reset on the first playback. NB: it still gets reset if you explicitly change the samplerate - we're probably still doing something wrong. Have asked Crystal developper. [Fix] Old IT files were loading with sample volume at 0. [Fix] Minor: Removed plugin clone button, corrected view menu to say "General" instead of "Global", implulse tracker version marker changed from "impulse tracker v3" to v8.88. v1.17.02.25 ----------- [Fix] In 117RC2 plugmix mode, applying global volume is now the last tranformation applied to the buffer. Should fix bugs in the last few builds by which global volume was taken into account multiple times. v1.17.02.24 ----------- [Fix] Global volume no longer applied twice on samples that are put through plugins. [Fix] If a plugin was assigned to a channel in which a note interrupted another, the resulting ramped part of the note would not be processed by the plugin. The outcome was potential "clicks". [Mod] Removed broken CPU usage meter. v1.17.02.23 ----------- [Fix] Restored loop song on general tab. [Fix] Global volume is stored with our disfigured "XM"s. [Fix] Initial settings explicitly marked as such. [Mod] Changes to sample pre-amp and global volume defaults. [Mod] Internal: optimisations to volume handling. v1.17.02.22 ----------- [New] In order to let the user achieve a good balance between sample and VSTi volumes, there have been changes & improvements to the volume handling, as exposed on the general tab: - Sliders available for "Sample volume", "VSTi volume" and "Global volume". - "Sample volume" is in fact the old sample pre-amp slider. Note that the slider can go up to 500 (which is already pretty loud), but if you're feeling insane you can type values up to 2000 in the textbox. - Changing the VSTi volume is equivalent to changing the plugin "gain" individually for all VSTis. Same slider/textbox limitations apply as to "Sample volume". - If 1.17RC2 plugin mix mode is selected in the song properties (it is by default), Global Volume will be applied to plugins too. (NOTE: this is somewhat of a _hack_, since global volume continues to be applied separately to _all_ samples as well.. so samples played through plugins are in fact affected _twice_ by the global volume). [Fix] If a sample was replaced via a drag&drop onto the instrument tab, the sample properties in the sample tab (e.g. loop points etc..) were not refreshed - fixed. [Fix] Fixed random crash on XM save if an instrument had an empty sample map (tx Skilletaudio!) [Fix] Changing plugin's dry/wet ratio directly from the pattern with \xx: previously could trigger an unpredictable VST parameter change - fixed [Fix] Restored amplify & change instrument in pattern ctx menu - sorry!! (no need to send me death threats about this anymore, please! :) [Fix] Minor refresh fix to graphical parameter editor. [Mod] removed player options from general tab to avoid confusion as to what is saved in file, in favour of button to open separate Player Settings dialog. v1.17.02.21 ----------- [Fix] Drags on Orderlist mark song as modified. [Fix] Fixed auto-deletion of excess autosaves where song has no associated directory. [Fix] Fixed option in colour setting tab to override time sig highlighting with custom highlight positions (was always getting reset to time sig highlighting before). [Fix] Fixes to play note from VST gui. [Fix] Second attempt at fixing stuck VSTi notes when playing during playback. [Fix] If an effect is removed, channels pointing to that effect now display "[empty]" [Fix] Full range song pre-amp is now saved in song with both "XM" and "IT". [Mod] Added option to hide unavailable options in pattern ctx menu, rather than greying them out. v1.17.02.20 ----------- [New] OpenMPT version saved in file, visible in song settings dialog. [Mod] Enabled XP themes. [Fix] Keyconfig loader no longer reports errors in bad key config file after the 10th error, to avoid reporting hundred of errors if for example you try to load a binary by mistake. [Fix] Song is marked as modified on tempo & volume slider move in general tab, as well as on drag selection. [Fix] Correct pattern name displayed on first opening of pattern editor. [Fix] Tool tips restored on pattern editor. [Fix] The instrument and sample tab play buttons should no longer stop the song. [Mod] Resolution of plugin default GUI parameter slider increased from 100 to 1000. I couldn't get the per-thousand symbol to display yet. :( [Mod] Version number change - we no longer specify revision number explicitly. It is bad practice to make revision numbers external, as we have no real control over the way they change. The version number will always be in the CVS-commit comments fiel from now on. [New] !! Emulate Mix Bugs Has GONE!! Now select Plugin Mix Level from song properties; it gets saved with the song now. Note that there are 3 settings: - Original (equivalent to "emulate mix bugs") - 1.17RC1 (what it was from RC1 up until this build) - 1.17RC2 (what I believe to be correct... mastering plugins report the same levels as exported WAVs with this one). [Fix] ITP users are now warned that autosaves fail if their instrument paths aren't set up. [Fix] If "use songs' original dirs" is ticked but the song has never been saved and therefore has no path, the backups will now always go in mptrack.exe's working directory as it was at startup. [Mod] GUI now uses radiobuttons for path type selection. [New] Added customisable shortcut key for toggling (un)mute on pattern transition. [New] Force pattern sequence override (ctrl-left-click orderlist) now works in play-pattern mode. - Known issue: orderlist GUI is not refreshed so line remains. [Mod] Toggle (un)mute on pattern transition is now ctrl-left-click (not ctrl-right-click). [Fix] Fixed play selected part of a sample. [Fix] Fixed start of samples not playing when previewing them whilst song is playing (I think - I had trouble reproducing this one :) [Fix] Fixed stuck notes when playing VSTis during pattern transition (I think - I had trouble reproducing this one :) [Fix] Fixed: samples attached to instruments should never be removed in cleanups with ITP. [Fix] Fixed build-up of NNA'ed notes whilst channel is muted, which all play together on unmute. [Fix] Fixed XM->IT conversion of Sxx over row 32. [Fix] Fixed: Effect interpolation works even if only param column is selected again. [Fix] Fixed: paste, delete, drag should no longer work if recording is disabled. [Mod] Song settings dialog cleanup. Minor instrument tab GUI cleanups. About dialog cleanups. [Mod] Internal: "stubs" for graph tab (currently hidden) and graph data structures + unused array utilities class. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.19) ----------------------------- [New] Ctrl-right-clicking a channel will cause it to be muted at the next pattern transition. Let me know if this is working the way you want, then I'll work on adding keyboard shortcuts, channel manager integration etc... [Fix] Fixed "play row" only playing first tick. Should play whole row now (tx LPChip). [Fix] Fixed broken noteoffs. (tx anboi) [Fix] Fixed minor Channel Manager bug by which the second of two quick consecutive clicks was ignored. [Mod] First (naive) attempt at allowing sample & intrument plaback from sample & instrument tab without stopping the track. Let me know what breaks. [Mod] Setting a documement's "modified" flag (the asterisk) is now done in a thread safe manner if the modification come from the audio thread rather than the GUI thread. Could prevent rare crashes. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.18) ----------------------------- [Mod] (internal) Pattern editor cleanups [Mod] Recoded pattern editor context menu (in view of making it customizable) [New] Interpolate notes. :) [Fix] Fixed possible truncated lines in comments [Fix] Fixed channel manager close bug - don't need to "open twice" anymore. [Fix] Restored old behaviour that I had accidentally broken: Ctrl-clicking a position in the order list will schedule it to play next. [Fix] Fixed corrupt selection bug when mouse drags to the right of last channel. [Fix] Fixed bug by which NNA'd notes originating from muted channels would still be audible. [Fix] Changing VSTi preset from an instrument no longer forces reselection of current bank (perf improvement on some plugs) [New] Portamento (Fxx Exx) now sent to VSTis as Pitch Bend Midi CC. [New] Retrig (Qxx) now works on VSTis. [Fix] Minor VSTi volume fixes. Hope this doesn't screw your old track us too much. :( [Fix] Fixed chunk saving for plugs with chunks less than 8 bytes (e.g. VB ffx4) - warning: might have broken loading/saving plug settings for other plugs. (tx anboi) [Fix] Fixed estimate song with classic tempo mode. ([Mod] Pattern randomizer GUI only so far. No functionality yet.) v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.17) ----------------------------- [Mod] If autosave fails for whatever reason, options window should open automatically on Autosave page. [Fix] Fixed memory leak on close if no keymap file could be found. [Fix] If a broken plugin was in the plugin list, the "Select Plugin" dialog would always select it by default (tx LPChip) [New] "Select Plugin" window now remembers size & position, plus other minor enhancements. [Fix] Fixed possible crash on close if Autosave path is empty. [Fix] Fixed additional silence that could appear at the end of rendered wavs. [New] To avoid getting Settings popup when version number in registry is less than current version, use command line option: "/noSettingsOnNewVersion" [Fix] Fix to sample view refresh bug with sample > 255. [Fix] Fixes to eXtension Param (#), which previously only worked on channel 1, and could not extend tempo with XMs. [Mod] Ericus' "alternative" tempo interpretation is now a song setting rather than a general setting. You can select it in the same popup as where you set module type, num channels etc. Set "tempo mode: alternative". [New] NEW - Precise & simplified BPM Mode! (Please test :D) - Enable it in the song setting window, where you set module type, num channels etc. Set "tempo mode: modern". - Txx (Fxx with xx>20 with XM) defines the real, exact beats per minute. Always. - The effective playback speed therefore also depends on the "rows per beat" value in the song settings. - Axx (Fxx with xx<21 with XM) continues to define the ticks per row, but does not affect playback speed per se. - Features tick-to-tick compensation for buffer size calculation rounding errors (aka high precision). - Feedback more than welcome!! [Mod] GUI changes to accomodate for new speed mode. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.16) ----------------------------- [Fix] Fixed corrupt .mod when non existent pattern is listed in sequence. [Fix] Autosaver is automatically disabled when save fails. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.15) ----------------------------- [Mod] Warning in custom keys log when entering a key that causes a cross-context conflict. [Fix] Instruments can now force lowpass filter mode [Fix] Fixed some boundary typos. [Fix] Fixed volume changes on muting/unmuting channels. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.14) ----------------------------- [New] Rubbish CPU usage indicator. Dishonestly shows 10-20% less than Windows taskmanager, not sure why yet. [New] Quick "Go to row/channel/pattern/order" dialog in pattern editor. Set up a custom key to use it the Pattern Editor/General category. [New] List input channels & instruments (as well as input plugins) in the plugin info/input menu. [New] Can play VSTi in plugin's window if you have set up an intrument that is assigned to that plugin. If you have multiple instruments assigned to that plugin, you can select which one is used from the info/input menu. [New] Option to force built-in filter into highpass mode on particular instruments. [New] Cutoff / resonance random variation. [New] Optional per-instrument resampling mode selection! [New] Move a plugin from an FX slot to another FX slot (hopefully automatically updates references throughout track, so it should sound unchanged). [New] Inset a blank FX slot between 2 FX slots. Again, song should sound unchanged. [Fix] Prevented another very rare hang on stop which could occur when more than 255 notes were active simultaneously on a same plugin. [Mod] Previously, in the instrument view, "Attack" represented the sample ramping where more attack meant less ramping. The property has been renamed to ramping and inverted so as to be more intuitive. [Mod] Replaced a bunch of "Modplug Tracker" strings with "OpenMPT". :) [Mod] Code cleanups, particularly in IT/ITP/ITI/XM/XI extended info saving. Extensive testing is TODO, including 2-way compat with previous versions. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.13) ----------------------------- [Fix] More fixes to plugs that try to get tempo before we've had a chance to init them properly. [Fix] Backed out first attempt at reducing hangs on stop (from rev 1.13.2.10) - it was pointless. I think 1.13.2.11 really solved it though. [Mod] Plugin window's factory preset menu improvements for plugs with lots of presets [New] Can now access info about a plug from the Plugin's window, such as inputs, outputs and relevant macros. FX slot number shown in window title. [New] Added prev&next preset and randomize params shortcut keys (take effect when plugin's window has focus). [Mod] Reduced plugin idle call rate from 100Hz to 50Hz, in accordance with some discussion on the VST sdk mailing list. [New] Added macro to control dry/wet ratio (==volume for VSTis) from pattern. Zxx and \xx should both work. [Fix] Fixed minor imprecision in \xx slide calculations. [New] If macros are used on a channel to which no plugin is assigned, but an instrument with an assigned plugin is active on that channel, the macros will be effective in the instrument's plugin. Be careful now! [New] Fixed old bug that was preventing custom MIDI messages from being sent to plugs. So you can now send MIDI CC commands to your plugs! For example, to send Modwheel commands with Zxx on midi chan 0, create a custom macro with the value "B001z" (Only Zxx works for now, not \xx). [Mod] Minor enhancenments to Zxx Macro window. TODO: add support to easily add MIDI CC macros. [Fix] Minor GUI refresh fixes (tx xtr1m). v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.12) ----------------------------- [Fix] Fix to plugs that try to get tempo before we've had a chance to init them properly. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.11) ----------------------------- [New] Time signature (rows per beat & rows per measure) now saved with songs. [New] Added next and previous document shortcut keys (that work :). [Fix] IT files can now save tempo > 255. [Fix] Various minor fixes relating to marking file as modified. [Fix] Another stab at the elusive hangs on stop. Let me know if there's any improvement. [Mod] IT files now save the number of channels you choose, rather than shrinking to fit & removing the last unused channels. I like it this way, yell if you don't. v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.10) ----------------------------- [New] Can now bypass plug from plug's window and from tree view. [New] Added commands to navigate up/down by spacing [Fix] Improved handling of keystrokes when textbox has focus. [Fix] Fixed auto-chord detection bugs which caused it to screw up in the last rows of the pattern. [Mod] Changes to plugin threading in the hope of reducing hangs. I can't reproduce the hangs on my system so this is a stab in the dark. [Fix] Closing a document via a shortcut key no longer bypasses modified check - tx diamond. [Fix] Changing a plug param now marks song as modified. [Fix] Fixed minor solo/mute bug ("solo" could unexepectedly behave like unmute all in some cases) - tx Gazus Snake [Fix] Sample GUI not getting updated with samples > 255 - tx POPS125 [Fix] Fixed some tiny memory leaks. [Mod] Minor code cleanups v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.9) ---------------------------- [Fix] In autosave dialog, will check backup path exists (if it is to be used). Also Autosave should issue a warning if save fails for whatever reason. [Fix] File marked as modified on all sample/intrument/general tab changes (some had been missed). [Fix] Change to command handling when textbox has focus [Fix] Idle time dished out to plugs at 100Hz rather than 10Hz and from TrackApp::OnIdle rather than MainFrame::OnTimer [Fix] Internal: Edit & Continue debugging enabled in debug build settings. [Fix] Cxx no longer ignored after 255 loops [Fix] Autosaver will now save is autsaver is disabled. :) [Fix] Samplemap and instrument name should be accessible with XM files now. [Fix] Mousewheel should scroll pattern even if focus is in some elements above the pattern editor. (I believe winME and maybe win98 users might still have trouble with the mousewheel. I'm not sure why this is. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.) [Fix] No MPT commands will be executed if a texbox has focus, i.e. textboxes will work again now. [Fix] Minor optimisations to instrument view envelope drawing [Fix] Internal: a couple of code cleanups to remove a few compilation warnings. [Mod] processReplacing() is now favoured over process() in VST plugs [Fix] Plugin automatically bypassed if an exception is thrown in process()/processReplacing() [Fix] Switched to C++ exceptions handlers throughout, which will actually get compiled into the release builds. [New] Select plugin dialog is now resizable. :D [Fix] Other minor fixes (Options dialog now remembers if autosave tab was selected, zoom level cycling in sample view fixed...) v1.17RC1 (revision 1.13.2.8) ---------------------------- [Mod] If a plug identifies itself as willing to recieve midi events, midi channel 1 will automatically be selected when it is assigned to an instrument [New] Option to emulate some old mixing bugs, in case your old track sounds too different in this version (could happen with some distortion plugins for example) and you aren't able to recover the sound by adjusting the levels [Fix] Minor GUI fixes v1.17RC0 (revision 1.13.2.7) ---------------------------- [Fix] Fixed crash in instrument view in win 98. [Mod] Set octave keys are now customisable. Not that they will no longer be automatically assigned to freed number keys. So if you map a note to key 8 then unmap it, you'll have to explicitly set Set Octave 8 back to key 8 again. v1.17RC0 (revision 1.13.2.6) ---------------------------- [Fix] Minor GUI fixes v1.17RC0 (revision 1.13.2.5) ---------------------------- [Fix] Fixed ridiculous mono ITI loading bug. v1.17RC0 (revision 1.13.2.4) ---------------------------- [New] Autosave function. Be sure to configure it to your taste. [Fix] Some VST threading & initialisation improvements, might prevent some hangs/crashes. [Fix] Plugs that save an entire bank in their chunks should be better at restoring their active program on load [Fix] cursor dependant play commands now play from start of song even before cursor position is initialised. [Fix] Minor wave rendering fixes [New] Added IT style mix paste command, for those of you who just weren't ready for *real* mixpasting ;) [New] Option to show estimated "real BPM", just as it is communicated to plugins. [Mod] Minor GUI changes [Mod] Various internal cleanups [Fix] Mastervolume calculation fixes [Fix] VSTi mixing & volume fixes [Fix] Float conversion fixes v1.17RC0 (revision 1.13.2.3) ---------------------------- [Mod] When wrap and continuous scroll are off, cursor jump/snap now goes to row 0 or last row when it should go beyond, rather than doing nothing. [Fix] modifier keys are no longer reset on pattern editor focus loss [Fix] fixed scrollpos jumping to row 0 on change pattern [Fix] if the full pattern can be visible in window, pattern is moved down so row 0 is visible and scrollbar is not needed. (tx lpchip) [Fix] some VU meter fixes [Fix] instrument view slider optimisations (we think it affects just WinXP) [Fix] fixed hang on song stop with some OhmForce plugs (and maybe others). [Fix] fixed minor slider GUI bug with some OhmForce plugs (and maybe others). [Fix] various minor fixes: instrument open/save/new shortcut key propagation, VSTi playback at volume 0 ... [New] Extra statusbar info in pattern view. Ugly but useful (particularly for macros). [Mod] Minor VST destruction memory management change - may increase or decrease crash occurences. :) [Mod] internal: changed to make thread priority normal in debug mode, for easier hang debugging. [Mod] Restored VSTi original output level [Fix] floating point plugin parameter edit box fix [Mod] (internal) removed unwanted (at this point) vst parallel routing feature [Fix] Checked preset in VST dialog menu is updated when preset is changed from inside the plug's on GUI. [New] Assign a MIDI bank to an instrument, for plugs that support it (e.g. Edirol Orchestral) (tx ganja) [Mod] Changes/clarifications to custom keys GUI (tx lpchip) [Imp] Improvements to note recording with record select (from midi-in as well as normal keyboard): - If note off recording is enabled, note offs appear in the channel in which the note was played, even if the cursor has moved to another channel. - Channels in which a note is still being played is "locked", so no new notes can interrupt it, unless there are no other unlocked record select channels. [Fix] Minor VST compliancy improvements (fixes elusive stuck notes with synthedit plugs on song loop) [Mod] On adding a plugin to a song, MPT checks it against a list of known problematic plugins and warns you if necessary. [Fix] MIDI-in fixes [Fix] Save full precision instrument panning and fadeout values in IT and XM, sample panning range limited to 0-64 at GUI level, to correlate with the range that gets saved. [Fix] Fix to IT loading algorithm when last sample is empty (MPTX data was ignored) [Fix] Fix to XM loading algorithm when macro definitions embedded in file [Fix] Zxx Macro window fixes v1.16.0215a ----------- [Fix] Various minor fixes (registry, VST, GUI) [New] "Overwrite effect type" mode in effect param visualiser [Mod] Zxx macro GUI total revamp [Mod] Time stretcher GUI changes, stretch loop points [New] new custom keys: - Toggle focus between pattern editor<->order list - Open/Save/New instrument/sample (focus must be in bottom part - Pattern editor copy and lose selection [Mod] GUI Cleanup [Fix] Plugin 32bit float conversion and mixing fixes [New] Plugin gain control [New] Pitch shifer / time stretcher in sample view! (non real-time :) [New] added key command to insert new pattern from pattern editor. [Fix] XM saving changes/fixes. [Fix] Added support for VSTs which change their window size. (tx goor00) [Fix] Minor GUI fixes. [Mod] Changed behaviour of calls to VST plugs on loop song or on replay song without stopping. No longer do suspend/resume, just kill all notes. This avoids pause caused by plugs with a heavy "resume" method, but means buffers are no longer cleared. [Work in progress - some VSTis don't stop notes, not sure why yet] [Fix] fixes to chunk-based FXP loading/saving. (tx Diamond) [Fix] fix to allow VST synchronisation when rendering to wav. Added fix for MP3 export too. v1.16.0214a ----------- [Fix] fix to note playback when pattern record is disabled (tx ganja). [Fix] fix for VST plugs with >2 outputs, though it is currently assumed they are stereo. (tx Muox, ganja, ericus for further fixes) [Mod] added button on wave writer dialog to open player settings rather than checkbox to enable "HQ resampling". [New] GUI for resampler & default ramping configuration [Fix] fixed wav export at >44.1kHz and >24bit. [New] added per-instrument sample ramping [New] Channel manager updates [New] Multiple mix modes for plugins [Mod] new internal instrument format [New] polyphase resampler tuning and fixes (enabled polyphase on filtered samples...) [New] Added "copy and lose selection" command as a general pattern command, for those who like the cursor to be restored when they copy. You obviously don't have to map a key to this command if you don't want to use it. [New] Automatic chord detection, a la Ericus: Assuming you're in a channel with note recording enabled and you have other channels with note recording enabled, if you hit two note keys within a given time, MPT should put the notes on the same row. You can set the interval time in keyboard config dialog. [Fix] Fixed velocity recording from midi in. (tx Squirrel Havoc) [Fix] Fixed stuck notes when playing VSTis from pattern in record enabled channels. [Fix] Fixed file corruption bug on saving after deleting an instrument (tx LPChip) [Mod] Midi-in now uses same note entry code as normal keyboard note entry. (tx Squirrel Havoc) [Mod] Added shrink and grow selection to pattern context menu. v1.16.0213a ----------- [Var] Untested: incomplete changes in midi in pattern recording (taken direct from Ericus' build - probably broken in my build atm). [Var] Untested: merged from Ericus' build: 'rearrange samples' menu entry in edit->cleanup [Var] Untested: merged from Ericus' build: alternative BPM/Speed interpretation method [Var] Untested: merged from Ericus' build: IT project files (.itp) [New] merged from Ericus' build: Channel manager window. [New] merged from Ericus' build (kind of): keyboard split - allows you to have 2 active instruments, distinguishable by the note you enter. [New] merged from Ericus' build (kind of): second channel record group - if enabled, chords for instrument 1 go to channel group1, whereas notes for instrument 2 go to channel group 2. In the future all notes will be redirected to the appropriate record channels iff they are enabled. [Mod] ^^ now sends "all sounds off" to plugs; note that few plugs support it, but those that do should stop quickly, without playing decay, unlike with == where decay is played. ^^ also explicitly sends a note off to all 128 notes on that tracker and midi channel, regardless of active notemap, so it might deal with some stuck note cases. == is more conservative. This is a bit shoddy and will hopefully all be clarified in the future. [Fix] Some VSTi stuck note cases fixed... some still remain. (tx LPChip ) [New] For people who just cannot cope with the slightest change, I added alternative == and ^^ commands which do not enter the current instrument number. (tx LPChip ;) [New] Added button to access an instrument's plug's gui from the pattern, if possible. (tx LPChip) [Mod] experiment: audio device left open when playing notes in pattern but song not playing (device still closes on stop song though) [Fix] Sample map window fixes (tx Ganja) [Fix] Various VSTi fixes (tx LPChip) [New] Notes audible in sample map window in instrument control; notes also play when you change sample. Notes do not yet play in "keyboard" view. [Var] NOT merged from Ericus' build: non binary solo/mute behaviour (aka multiple solo channels - why not just unmute channels? :). [Fix] merged from Ericus' build: ITI note sample map save fix [New] merged from Ericus' build: WAV export update (24 bits wave out + channel-based wave files output mode) [New] merged from Ericus' build: tempo/speed/volume (in general tab) realtime update + tempo up to 512 bpm [New] merged from Ericus' build: option to free associate samples when removing one or more instrument(s) [New] merged from Ericus' build: Polyphase interpolation on stereo samples. [New] merged from Ericus' build: default enable/disable midi in record setup option added [New] merged from Ericus' build: parameter extension pattern effect (# command - key customisable) [New] merged from Ericus' build: pattern size up to 1024 rows [New] merged from Ericus' build: 256MB samples [Fix] reduced max channels from 256 to 128, so NNA etc still have a chance to work (tx Ericus) [Mod] some wet/dry slider cosmetic enhancements [Mod] merged from Ericus's build: load/save preset on General tab [New] merged from Ericus's build: factory presets menus for VSTs on general tab and VST gui (some known issues e.g. with Amplitube). [Fix] Various keyboard fixes (tx Diamond). [Fix] merged from Ericus's build: live VSTi playback on channel 1 bugfix. [Mod] Set Instrument command no longer requires instrument column to be selected (tx LPChip) [Mod] Cosmetic changes in instrument pane (tx LPChip) [Fix] Another attempt at getting rid of beeps with alt-combo keys that do not open menu items and are assigned to commands, without screwing everything up. (tx LPChip) v1.16.0212a ----------- [Reg] Can no longer select "Normalize" when writing to wave, as this can produce incorrect output with certain VSTs. For now, use an external editor to normalize you wavs. [Fix] Extra safety checks for plugins that don't return parameters between 0 and 1 exactly. [Fix] Tentative fix to silent dx plugins on non SSE enabled cpus. [New] Added "IT Style" clear field commands. Using this, clearing the note field automatically clears the instrument field. [Mod] Swapped left and right mouse button action in effect visualiser (now use left button to "paint" nodes, right to move a specific node). [New] "Fill gaps" mode in effect visualiser, to automatically enter effects in blank spaces. v1.16.0211a ----------- [Fix] Fixed crashes/bugs in instrument view when playing high notes. (tx LP) [Fix] Fixed (tx LP) [Mod] Removed "Unused?" text under Midi Prog listbox - hehe Ganja, does it actually work?! :) v1.16.0210a ----------- [Fix] Fixed warnings if no keyboard map file is found in registry (on first run) [New] Shortcut key to toggle "follow song". [New] Can change/access plugins froms pattern editor. Can also open editor via shortcut key. [Fix] Custom keys fixes [New] Default plugin GUI. [Fix] Fixed some more stuck note cases. [Fix] Fix scrolling bug when toggling follow song with whole pattern visible on screen. (tx LPChip) [New] Load/Save VST preset [New] Randomize VST parameters [Mod] Porta slides occur on tick 0 iff speed is 1 tick per row. (tx felineki) [New] "Report bug" button on the GUI takes you to beta tester's forum :) [New] Optional "row guidelines" in instrument envelope editor. [Mod] Optimised instrument envelope GUI to avoid flickering on resize. Various other cosmetic changes. [Fix] Fixed "Remove channels" window [Fix] Fixed beeps with certain alt-combo keys [Fix] Offset in the volume column now works with retrigs. [Mod] Effect Keys are updated automatically when you change module type. You cannot customise them anymore. [Fix] Improved VST idle time handling. Should fix the bug by which CPU usage would jump to 100% with certain combinations of plugs. [Fix] (internal) Improved VSTGui compliancy 20041012 -------- [Fix] (internal) some VST compliancy improvements on start/stop [New] VSTTimeInfo data sent [Reg] Cutter offset still does not restart with multilens; other plugs also have some sync issues... > Modulation sync seems OK with FabFilter but not with Multilens. ---> could be that transport is never reset. [New] VSTi can be assigned to an instrument, not just a channel (I would encourage this method from now on - consider assigning VSTis to channels deprecated) [Mod] Started re-styling the instrument view to reflect this. [New] More sensible VSTi polyphony, should behave more like ample-based normal instruments: Two subsequent notes sent to a same VSTi on a same Midi channel from a same tracker channel will cause the first note to be NoteOff'ed just before the second plays... EXCEPT if NNA is set to continue. Got it? :) In other words, NNAs are kinda working for VSTis (but Note Off, Cut and Fade all do the same thing) [New] Same with DNAs. [Fix] Fixed some issues with VSTi playback on note entry. Should now stop note on key release, like with sample-based normal instrs. [Reg] Bugs with Xlutop Chainer and some other plugs (more f'ing stuck notes) - working on it. [Reg] Increased memory footprint, possible performance regressions [New] Can now enable/disable all notes on key hold with a single click in the key config dialog [Mod] No longer need to press 'set' in key config dialog: changes are recorded automatically. [Fix] Loading patterns of less than 4 rows screws up. We now prevent users from setting pattern size to less than 4. Just use a pattern break command. (tx Ganja) (bug introduced before opensourcing) 20041009 -------- [Fix] Tempo slides now behave as specified in it.txt. (tx ManaSmack) (bug introduced before opensourcing) [New] Can now save stereo ITIs [New] Removed 64 sample limit on ITIs (can now load/save instruments with up to 120 samples, i.e. one separate sample for each note) [Fix] Fixed bug which allowed entering notes higher than B-9 (even though they didn't play) (bug introduced 20040910) [Fix] Fixed graphical parameter editor key. (tx LPChip) (bug introduced 20040910) [Fix] Fixed transpose octave down key (bug introduced 20040910) [Fix] Fixed note fade on key release in instrument view. (tx Ganja) bug introduced 20040910 [Fix] Prevented multiple note playback in sample view, except on chord playback. (tx LPChip) (bug introduced 20040910) [Fix] Finished custom note handling for instrument notemapper and treeview (tx Ganja) (bug introduced 20040910) [Fix] This version shouldn't corrupt the custom key registry setting used by previous versions of MPT. (bug introduced 20040910) [New] Can now save orders past blank order, a la IT2. (tx Nofold) [New] Some pattern undo improvements (still far from perfect!) [New] Stretch/Shrink selection (a la IT2) 20040910 -------- [New] Fully customisable keys, with profile loading and saving, multiple keys for same command, etc.. [New] Some new commands (e.g. Snap to highlight...) [Mod] Enhanced some old commands (e.g. homing vertically twice homes horizontally...) [Mod] Changed scope of some commands (e.g. play pattern should work from anywhere...) [Reg] Lots of keypress related bugs, please help me isolate them [Fix] Some minor VSTi fixes [New] Oxx (offset) kind of works in the volume command [New] Half-finished "velocity" command (Ask LPChip about this). [Mod] Wicked new splash by Nofold! [Var] Internal changes. [Var] Various other minor bits n bobs Wild Prebeta: 2004.02.24 ------------------------ [New] Each individual view (general/pattern/samples/intruments/comments) remembers its own horizontal splitter position. [New] If you enter notes in a channel to which a VSTi has been assigned, and you're using an instrument with a midi channel send, you should hear the VSTi play as you enter the notes. [Mod] Minor cosmetic changes, including about dialog image by Snu & Shableep. :) v2004.02.22 ----------- [New] Conditional compilation for MMX,SSE,AMD assembly routines. This should allow compilation on Vanilla VC6 compilers. [New] 255 channel support with updated IT loader/saver. It should not impact existing .it modules and allows for safe loading and saving of >64 channel modules. v2004.02.16 ----------- [New] A Dry/wet slider for each plugin - values should save and load in this version, and be cleanly ignored by older versions. [New] Tick resolution midi macro slide. Use \xx command instead of Zxx if you want your plugin param to slide to xx over the course of that row rather than brutally jumping there. Should also work on built-in cutoff+resonance. For an example of what this effect does, download: http://www.soal.org/expMPT/paramSlideDemo.zip . [New] Effect param graphical editor prototype. Left click modifies a single node, right click & drag to "draw". Warning, things get quite sluggish if you're visualizing many rows and make the window quite large. [New] Mixpaste, just like in IT2 [New] Option to have "follow song" disabled by default under general settings. [New] SDx works on VSTis.
