[2000] [1999] [1998]


Aug 02 '98 ksynth 0.2.4 released!
    - Reimplemented Synth_DELAY. The module didn't handle changing the delay while running gracefully. It should behave good regarding gain as well now. - Synth_FILEPLAY: new module which allows capturing the output of KSynth as wav-file. - Added values that are configurable while the synthesis runs. This is just experimental to play around with the difficulties that will arrive later when we'll have a gui builder.



Jul 25 '98 ksynth 0.2.3 released!
    - Optimized the Synth_PLAY module a little. It's a lot faster now (more than twice as fast). - Bugfixed the load and save behaviour. - Added experimental support for scheduling midi events to multiple channels. Perhaps needs rewrite though ;) - ADSR-Envelope module added. - Prepared for inclusion into KDE's kmusic CVS.



15th July 1998 - ksynth-release 0.2.2
    Rewrote parts of the drawing code in ksbuild. It now handles connections from one source to multiple destinations gracefully. It also will interrupt lines of connections which cross their way but are not connected to each other. (complicated description?)

15th July 1998 - webpage online
    Finally the official ksynth homepage got online today. As ksynth is (at this time) a program for KDE, we've of course payed attention, that the page looks fine in kfm :-). There are still lot's of parts missing, but as ksynth is now in a higher state of development and is growing and growing very fast, we decided to put the page online now. comments, are very welcome.

28th June 1998 - ksynth-release 0.2.1
    ksynth should compile now with and without mico's ministl.

21st June 1998 - ksynth-release 0.2.0
    Finally added autoconf and automake to the package. It should now be nearly "KDE compliant". The option --without-kde is missing, though.

    Complete reorganization of the directory structure and the like due to autoconf/automake.

    Added code that is able to set the synthesizer to realtime scheduling priority under linux. This means there should be no clicks or crumbling in the sound output, when the computer gets busy any longer.

14th June 1998 - ksynth-release
    The "low level synthesizer" (KSynthesizer) now compiles and runs entierly without Qt. I hope this will extend the potential user base of the synthesizer to anyone running linux.

    The scheduling should be much better now, since the synthesizer just gets started using Synthesizer->Start once, instead of calling Run for every x cycles. (new files: ioevent.h/ioevent.cc)

    I am not quite shure wether the solution will be portable to other ORBs, but for mico it does the trick.
