2 Changes in Sonic Visualiser v4.0 (25 Oct 2019) since the previous release 3.3:
|
Chris@2328
|
3
|
Chris@2335
|
4 - Add Box annotation layer type, typically used for time-frequency
|
Chris@2335
|
5 boxes to be annotated over a spectrogram. Because this introduces a
|
Chris@2335
|
6 new layer type into the session file format, the major version
|
Chris@2383
|
7 number has been bumped to v4.0. Sessions saved from v4.0 can still
|
Chris@2383
|
8 be opened in earlier versions of Sonic Visualiser, but any Box
|
Chris@2383
|
9 layers will not be loaded
|
Chris@2383
|
10
|
Chris@2383
|
11 - Fix behaviour of auto-align layers on top of waveform: they can now
|
Chris@2383
|
12 be aligned in the vertical scale, if they have a unit of V and the
|
Chris@2383
|
13 waveform is of a single channel in linear or dB mode
|
Chris@2383
|
14
|
Chris@2383
|
15 - Make the UI more readable in macOS "dark mode"
|
Chris@2383
|
16
|
Chris@2383
|
17 - Fix sluggishness in starting and stopping playback when using
|
Chris@2383
|
18 PulseAudio v13.0+
|
Chris@2335
|
19
|
Chris@2328
|
20
|
Chris@2345
|
21 Changes in Sonic Visualiser v3.3 (21 May 2019) since the previous release 3.2.1:
|
Chris@2211
|
22
|
Chris@2211
|
23 - Add support for reading the Opus audio codec on all platforms
|
Chris@2211
|
24
|
Chris@2211
|
25 - Add support for WMA and AAC formats on 64-bit Windows. (AAC was
|
Chris@2211
|
26 already supported on macOS.) Note that AAC support on Windows does
|
Chris@2211
|
27 not support "gapless" import, i.e. removing the encoder gaps at
|
Chris@2211
|
28 start and end of the stream
|
Chris@2211
|
29
|
Chris@2260
|
30 - Add ability to choose the field separator when importing CSV and
|
Chris@2260
|
31 CSV-like files, if more than one possible candidate separator is
|
Chris@2260
|
32 found in the file
|
Chris@2260
|
33
|
Chris@2260
|
34 - Fix crash when closing session or starting a new session while
|
Chris@2260
|
35 calculating alignment of multiple audio files
|
Chris@2260
|
36
|
Chris@2260
|
37 - Fix crash when running certain plugins that call for
|
Chris@2260
|
38 frequency-domain input at non-power-of-two block sizes
|
Chris@2260
|
39
|
Chris@2260
|
40 - Fix wandering left edge of measure-tool rectangle while dragging
|
Chris@2260
|
41 out the area
|
Chris@2260
|
42
|
Chris@2260
|
43 - Ensure that plugin stderr debug output is logged to the SV log file
|
Chris@2260
|
44
|
Chris@2002
|
45
|
Chris@2345
|
46 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.2.1 (07 Jan 2019) since the previous release 3.2:
|
Chris@2175
|
47
|
Chris@2175
|
48 - Fix failure to record from built-in microphone on macOS 10.14
|
Chris@2175
|
49 (caused by lack of microphone permission request text)
|
Chris@2175
|
50
|
Chris@2175
|
51 - Fix crash when closing SV or starting a new session during recording
|
Chris@2175
|
52
|
Chris@2175
|
53 - Fix crash on exit in some builds that disable OSC support
|
Chris@2175
|
54
|
Chris@2175
|
55 - Fix flashing effect when scrolling certain configurations of colour 3d
|
Chris@2175
|
56 plot layer leftwards
|
Chris@2175
|
57
|
Chris@2175
|
58
|
Chris@2345
|
59 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.2 (07 Dec 2018) since the previous release 3.1.1:
|
Chris@2002
|
60
|
Chris@2048
|
61 - Add ability to zoom closer than one sample per pixel, so as to see
|
Chris@2048
|
62 the interpolated signal level between samples
|
Chris@2048
|
63
|
Chris@2110
|
64 - Add oversampling control to the spectrogram and spectrum layers
|
Chris@2110
|
65
|
Chris@2110
|
66 - Highlight and label frequency peaks in the spectrum as the mouse
|
Chris@2110
|
67 rolls over them, when enabled in the parameter area
|
Chris@2110
|
68
|
Chris@2002
|
69 - Add feature to convert and import audio from a CSV data file
|
Chris@2002
|
70
|
Chris@2048
|
71 - Add some new colour maps, and restore the old Blue on Black one
|
Chris@2048
|
72
|
Chris@2110
|
73 - Speed up spectrum rendering at high resolutions
|
Chris@2110
|
74
|
Chris@2048
|
75 - Fix failure to pass Nyquist bins correctly to
|
Chris@2048
|
76 frequency-domain-input Vamp plugins in some circumstances
|
Chris@2048
|
77
|
Chris@2110
|
78 - Fix sometimes incorrect shortcut associations for new-layer menu
|
Chris@2110
|
79 items
|
Chris@2110
|
80
|
Chris@2139
|
81 - Various other rendering improvements and bug fixes
|
Chris@2110
|
82
|
cannam@1948
|
83
|
Chris@2345
|
84 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.1.1 (14 Aug 2018) since the previous release 3.1:
|
cannam@1948
|
85
|
cannam@1948
|
86 - Fix failure to record correctly into an empty session with certain
|
cannam@1948
|
87 audio drivers
|
cannam@1948
|
88
|
Chris@1958
|
89 - Fix failure to run LADSPA plugins at all, except with some unusual
|
Chris@1958
|
90 path layouts
|
Chris@1958
|
91
|
Chris@1958
|
92 - Fix failure to silence sonified notes when rewinding backwards or
|
Chris@1958
|
93 jumping back from a loop endpoint
|
Chris@1958
|
94
|
cannam@1948
|
95 - Fix macOS .dmg image so as to use older HFS+ filesystem for compatibility
|
cannam@1948
|
96
|
Chris@1871
|
97
|
Chris@2345
|
98 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.1 (14 July 2018) since the previous release 3.0.3:
|
Chris@1871
|
99
|
Chris@1871
|
100 - Add Plugins tab to Preferences dialog, from which you can review
|
Chris@1871
|
101 the plugin load paths and see which plugins were loaded from which
|
Chris@1871
|
102 locations, and also customise load paths (though the various path
|
Chris@1871
|
103 environment variables are still supported)
|
Chris@1871
|
104
|
Chris@1935
|
105 - Stream the export of audio data and other CSV data so that
|
Chris@1935
|
106 very large exports don't hang the UI or run us out of memory
|
Chris@1935
|
107 (thanks to Lucas Thompson)
|
Chris@1935
|
108
|
Chris@1935
|
109 - Ensure vertical scale appears for auto-align layers when there is
|
Chris@1935
|
110 nothing else to auto-align them to
|
Chris@1935
|
111
|
Chris@1871
|
112 - Fix another long-standing Windows-platform wide-char/utf8
|
Chris@1871
|
113 conversion problem, with environment variable naming and contents
|
Chris@1871
|
114
|
Chris@1871
|
115 - Improve handling of incomplete session loads, i.e. situations where
|
Chris@1871
|
116 the audio files referred to by a session could not be found -
|
Chris@1871
|
117 previously the session could be re-saved immediately thus losing
|
Chris@1871
|
118 the audio reference; now at least we disable Save (enabling only
|
Chris@1871
|
119 Save As) and show a warning
|
Chris@1871
|
120
|
Chris@1871
|
121 - Update pane and layer menu shortcuts so that the
|
Chris@1871
|
122 waveform/spectrogram/etc shortcuts (Shift+G etc) operate on the
|
Chris@1871
|
123 source model in the currently-selected pane rather than the main
|
Chris@1871
|
124 model. This is a backward-incompatible change but is a far more
|
Chris@1871
|
125 intuitive way for the function to work
|
Chris@1871
|
126
|
Chris@1935
|
127 - Use dark background for bright colours in time-value/note/etc
|
Chris@1935
|
128 layers as well as e.g. waveforms - this is how it was always
|
Chris@1935
|
129 "intended to" work, but it is a backward-incompatible change
|
Chris@1935
|
130
|
Chris@1871
|
131 - Make "Select All" select the whole span of everything that exists,
|
Chris@1871
|
132 not just the main model
|
Chris@1871
|
133
|
Chris@1871
|
134 - Add horizontal scale to Spectrum layer
|
Chris@1871
|
135
|
Chris@1871
|
136 - Improve spacing and labelling of vertical log scales
|
Chris@1871
|
137
|
Chris@1871
|
138 - Update build system for better Cap'n Proto version support and to
|
Chris@1871
|
139 use Repoint for code management in the repository
|
Chris@1871
|
140
|
Chris@1871
|
141 - Various other bug fixes
|
Chris@1871
|
142
|
Chris@1702
|
143
|
Chris@2345
|
144 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0.3 (25 May 2017) since the previous release 3.0.2:
|
Chris@1702
|
145
|
Chris@1702
|
146 - Improve decisions about where and how to label vertical scales
|
Chris@1702
|
147
|
Chris@1702
|
148 - Update build support material and documentation to reflect the
|
Chris@1702
|
149 official release of Cap'n Proto 0.6 (which we can now use rather
|
Chris@1702
|
150 than depending on git builds)
|
Chris@1702
|
151
|
Chris@1669
|
152
|
Chris@2345
|
153 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0.2 (25 Mar 2017) since the previous release 3.0.1:
|
Chris@1669
|
154
|
Chris@1669
|
155 - Fix crash when changing parameters for spectrum view
|
Chris@1669
|
156
|
Chris@1669
|
157 - Fix incorrect measure tool crosshairs in spectrum view
|
Chris@1669
|
158
|
Chris@1669
|
159 - Update Russian and Czech UI translations (thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine
|
Chris@1669
|
160 and Pavel Fric respectively)
|
Chris@1702
|
161
|
Chris@1658
|
162
|
Chris@2345
|
163 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0.1 (12 Mar 2017) since the previous release 3.0:
|
Chris@1658
|
164
|
Chris@1658
|
165 - Fix crashes with MIDI devices and speedup/slowdown control on Windows
|
Chris@1661
|
166
|
Chris@1658
|
167 - Update MIDI input driver layer
|
Chris@1447
|
168
|
Chris@1661
|
169
|
Chris@2345
|
170 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0 (07 Mar 2017) since the previous release 2.5:
|
Chris@1447
|
171
|
Chris@1516
|
172 - Add ability to record audio, and ability to change the audio device
|
Chris@1516
|
173 for playback or recording in the preferences
|
Chris@1447
|
174
|
Chris@1447
|
175 - Add complete support for high-resolution (Hi-DPI or retina)
|
Chris@1511
|
176 displays, including for layer data rendering as well as UI controls
|
Chris@1511
|
177 and icons. This makes the biggest difference when using a retina
|
Chris@1511
|
178 Mac, on which previous versions did not render layer data at retina
|
Chris@1447
|
179 resolution, but it also improves scaling and rendering of UI
|
Chris@1447
|
180 elements on Hi-DPI displays on Windows and Linux
|
Chris@1447
|
181
|
Chris@1451
|
182 - Add ability to export scalable (SVG) image files
|
Chris@1451
|
183
|
Chris@1447
|
184 - Run plugins in a separate process, so that if a plugin crashes, it
|
Chris@1447
|
185 no longer brings down Sonic Visualiser with it. In every other
|
Chris@1447
|
186 respect the behaviour should be unchanged
|
Chris@1447
|
187
|
Chris@1447
|
188 - Scan plugins on startup in a separate process, and report on any
|
Chris@1447
|
189 that crash or won't load
|
Chris@1447
|
190
|
Chris@1527
|
191 - Add ability to open, display, and analyse very long audio files (of
|
Chris@1527
|
192 more than 2^32 sample frames)
|
Chris@1527
|
193
|
Chris@1447
|
194 - Change mp3 file loading so as to compensate for encoder/decoder
|
Chris@1447
|
195 delay and padding (using "gapless playback" logic). While this is a
|
Chris@1447
|
196 real improvement, unfortunately it does mean that the initial
|
Chris@1447
|
197 padding in mp3 file load has changed from previous versions, which
|
Chris@1447
|
198 may mean some sessions saved in previous versions are no longer
|
Chris@1447
|
199 correctly aligned. It's not a great idea to use mp3 as a file
|
Chris@1447
|
200 format of record, because of differences like this between
|
Chris@1447
|
201 decoders. The previous behaviour is still available as a preference.
|
Chris@1447
|
202
|
Chris@1470
|
203 - Add new Hybrid normalisation type for spectrogram and colour 3d
|
Chris@1470
|
204 plot layers. This normalises each column to its peak value and then
|
Chris@1470
|
205 scales the normalised values by the log of the peak in order to
|
Chris@1470
|
206 restore some distinction in scale between columns with different
|
Chris@1470
|
207 levels. It can provide quite visually clear results.
|
Chris@1470
|
208
|
Chris@1447
|
209 - Add function to subdivide time instant layers into regular
|
Chris@1447
|
210 intervals (and its inverse)
|
Chris@1447
|
211
|
Chris@1447
|
212 - Add new preference for default colour scales
|
Chris@1447
|
213
|
Chris@1578
|
214 - Add a basic ability to zoom (in the frequency axis) to the spectrum
|
Chris@1624
|
215
|
Chris@1447
|
216 - Switch to using combined level/pan controls in layer property boxes
|
Chris@1447
|
217 and for the main volume control
|
Chris@1447
|
218
|
Chris@1520
|
219 - Make CSV file reader better able to handle files with varying
|
Chris@1520
|
220 numbers of columns
|
Chris@1520
|
221
|
Chris@1516
|
222 - Fix a number of problems on Windows with loading and saving some
|
Chris@1516
|
223 file formats to filenames not representable in system codepage
|
Chris@1516
|
224
|
Chris@1520
|
225 - Add "What's New" dialog
|
Chris@1520
|
226
|
Chris@1527
|
227 - Finally switch the Windows build to 64-bit by default (with
|
Chris@1447
|
228 adapters to run either 32- or 64-bit plugins)
|
Chris@1451
|
229
|
Chris@1447
|
230
|
Chris@2345
|
231 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.5 (23 Oct 2015) since the previous release 2.4.1:
|
Chris@1072
|
232
|
Chris@1072
|
233 - Add unit-converter dialog, for converting between various pitch and
|
Chris@1072
|
234 timing units
|
Chris@1072
|
235
|
Chris@1072
|
236 - Fix failure to reload note layers from session file
|
Chris@1072
|
237
|
Chris@1072
|
238 - Use a more sensible scale for the play-speed dial
|
Chris@1072
|
239
|
Chris@1072
|
240 - Fix crash when importing very wide CSV files
|
Chris@1072
|
241
|
Chris@1072
|
242 - Fix generation of wrong layer type from some CSV files
|
Chris@1072
|
243
|
Chris@1072
|
244 - Fix failure to export last instant in a time-instant layer
|
Chris@1072
|
245
|
Chris@1457
|
246
|
Chris@2345
|
247 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.4.1 (01 Oct 2014) since the previous release 2.4:
|
Chris@876
|
248
|
Chris@876
|
249 - Fix a crash when rendering certain colour 3d plot layers
|
Chris@716
|
250
|
Chris@1457
|
251
|
Chris@2345
|
252 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.4 (01 Sep 2014) since the previous release 2.3:
|
Chris@714
|
253
|
Chris@776
|
254 - Add support for left/right scrolling using a two-finger touchpad
|
Chris@776
|
255 gesture (where available)
|
Chris@776
|
256
|
Chris@716
|
257 - Make the octave numbering into a configurable option, and change
|
Chris@716
|
258 the default. Previously Sonic Visualiser labelled middle-C as "C3";
|
Chris@716
|
259 now it labels middle-C as "C4", a more common standard in the world
|
Chris@776
|
260 outside MIDI sequencer software. The previous system is available
|
Chris@776
|
261 as an option in the Preferences. This affects only the visible
|
Chris@776
|
262 labels: there is no change to analysis or to the file format
|
Chris@714
|
263
|
Chris@714
|
264 - Sonify time-value layers. Any time-value curve whose scale unit is
|
Chris@714
|
265 set to Hz will now acquire a playback toggle control; this control
|
Chris@714
|
266 is off by default, but if it is switched on, the curve will be
|
Chris@714
|
267 played back using a variable-frequency sound generator
|
Chris@714
|
268
|
Chris@714
|
269 - Add support for playback of note layers with non-MIDI frequencies
|
Chris@714
|
270 (formerly the note playback was limited to exact MIDI pitch)
|
Chris@714
|
271
|
Chris@714
|
272 - Change the default playback sample for note layers from piano to an
|
Chris@714
|
273 electric piano with sustain. The piano sample is still available,
|
Chris@714
|
274 and any sessions saved using it should continue to use it
|
Chris@714
|
275
|
Chris@867
|
276 - Add a cancel button for Vamp plugin processing: currently,
|
Chris@867
|
277 cancelling a transform results in a part-complete layer rather than
|
Chris@867
|
278 removing the results
|
Chris@867
|
279
|
Chris@790
|
280 - Add keyboard shortcuts to cycle the current layer (in addition to
|
Chris@790
|
281 the existing ones to cycle the current pane)
|
Chris@790
|
282
|
Chris@790
|
283 - Fix various bugs related to layer ordering: layer tabs re-ordering
|
Chris@790
|
284 themselves randomly when new layer added, layers being ordered
|
Chris@791
|
285 randomly when saving and reloading a session
|
Chris@790
|
286
|
Chris@848
|
287 - Fix incorrect interaction with non-Unicode usernames when creating
|
Chris@848
|
288 temporary and template directories on Windows
|
Chris@848
|
289
|
Chris@714
|
290 - Shade the start and end of the main audio file, to make them easier
|
Chris@714
|
291 to see for files that start or end in silence
|
Chris@714
|
292
|
Chris@714
|
293 - Speed up rendering and scrolling in time-value layers
|
Chris@714
|
294
|
Chris@714
|
295 - Make it possible to import CSV files directly into Note layers by
|
Chris@714
|
296 adding Pitch as a data type in the CSV file import dialog
|
Chris@675
|
297
|

Chris@512
|
372 - Simplify RDF reading and fix some bugs. Now requires Dataquay
|
Chris@512
|
373 (http://breakfastquay.com/dataquay/) rather than using Redland
|
Chris@512
|
374 directly. Release builds use Sord/Serd rather than Redland
|
Chris@512
|
375
|
Chris@512
|
376 - Add a fullscreen mode on the F11 key
|
Chris@471
|

|
Chris@471
|
380
|
Chris@471
|
381 - Add session templates; save session as template; apply template to
|
Chris@471
|

Chris@471
|
387 - Various bug fixes.

390 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.8 (08 Apr 2011) since the previous release 1.7.2:
|
Chris@394
|
391
|
Chris@394
|
392 - Sonic Visualiser now registers as a file type handler on OS/X,
|
Chris@394
|
393 providing better integration with the desktop generally (Dan Stowell)
|
Chris@394
|
394
|
Chris@394
|
395 - There is a new function to toggle all Time Rulers at once (key #)
|
Chris@394
|
396
|
Chris@407
|
397 - The CSV import dialog has been overhauled, allowing more flexible
|
Chris@407
|
398 selection of purpose for each column
|
Chris@407
|
399
|
Chris@394

Chris@394
|
408 were loaded has been fixed

|
Chris@394
|
410 - The layer-add menu functions now have shortcuts (Dan Stowell)
|
Chris@394
|
411
|
Chris@394
|
412 - The codebase has been reorganised into libraries and a configure
|
Chris@394
|
413 step added. It should be easier to build and maintain on OS/X and
|
Chris@394
|
414 Linux than previously, although it won't make much difference on
|
Chris@394
|
415 Windows.
|
Chris@394
|
416
|
Chris@397
|
417 - A Czech translation is now included (thanks to Pavel Fric).
|
Chris@397
|
418
|
Chris@675
|
419
|
Chris@2345
|
420 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.7.2 (05 May 2010) since the previous release 1.7.1:
|
Chris@394
|
421
|
Chris@394
|
422 - The time-value layer now has an origin line and an option to
|
Chris@394
|
423 show derivatives (change from one point to the next) rather than
|
Chris@394
|
424 raw values
|
Chris@394
|
425
|
Chris@394
|
426 - A static initialiser race has been fixed, possibly fixing an
|
Chris@394
|
427 occasional crash on startup in Windows
|
Chris@394
|
428
|
Chris@394
|
429 - A crash when pressing Play straight after New Session has been
|
Chris@394

|
Chris@675
|
432
|
Chris@2345
|
433 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.7.1 (22 Oct 2009) since the previous release 1.7:
|
Chris@394
|
434
|
Chris@394
|
435 - The RDF importer does a better job of assigning labels to layers,
|
Chris@394
|
436 layers to panes, and values to labelled regions
|
Chris@394
|
437
|
Chris@394
|
438 - Interactive editing in the Text layer benefits from the same
|
Chris@394
|
439 improvements as made in 1.7 to Note and Region layers
|
Chris@394
|
440
|
Chris@394
|
441 - The layer data editor window has a text search feature
|
Chris@394
|
442
|
Chris@394
|
443 - The main window status bar now shows the last label to have passed
|
Chris@394
|
444 the playback position in the current layer, at the right end of the
|
Chris@394
|
445 status bar
|
Chris@394
|
446
|
Chris@394
|
447 - The Russian translation has been updated (thanks Alexandre)
|
Chris@394
|
448
|
Chris@675
|
449
|
Chris@2345
|
450 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.7 (05 Sep 2009) since the previous release 1.6:
|
Chris@394
|
451
|
Chris@394
|
452 - A new "Insert Item At Selection" function on the Edit menu
|
Chris@394
|
453 can be used to create Note and Region layer items whose time
|
Chris@394
|
454 extents correspond to the current selection(s)
|
Chris@394
|
455
|
Chris@394
|
456 - Interactively editing points in the Note and Region layers
|
Chris@394
|
457 now works much more smoothly
|
Chris@394
|
458
|
Chris@394
|
459 - SV can now import MIDI files that use SMPTE timecode for event
|
Chris@394
|
460 timing (importing MIDI files using with the more common
|
Chris@394
|
461 timebase-based timing was already supported)
|
Chris@394
|
462
|
Chris@394
|
463 - Time values throughout the display may optionally be shown in
|
Chris@394
|
464 seconds and frames at various frame rates
|
Chris@1520
|
465
|
Chris@394
|
466 - A crash on exit in Windows has been fixed
|
Chris@394
|
467
|
Chris@394
|
468 - A very unobtrusive user survey is now included
|
Chris@394
|
469
|
Chris@394
|
470 - Various other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
471
|
Chris@675
|
472
|
Chris@2345
|
473 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.6 (22 Jun 2009) since the previous release 1.5:
|
Chris@394
|
474
|
Chris@394
|
475 - The Colour 3D Plot layer now supports logarithmic vertical
|
Chris@394
|
476 scale and linear interpolation options.
|
Chris@394
|
477
|
Chris@394
|
478 - A new colour scheme (High Gain) has been added for spectrogram
|
Chris@394
|
479 and Colour 3D Plot, which improves readability for some data.
|
Chris@394
|
480
|
Chris@394
|
481 - Further performance improvements have been made to Colour 3D
|
Chris@394
|
482 Plot.
|
Chris@394
|
483
|
Chris@394
|
484 - Various other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
485
|
Chris@675
|
486
|
Chris@2345
|
487 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.5 (16 Mar 2009) since the previous release 1.4:
|
Chris@394
|
488
|
Chris@394
|
489 - You can now insert time instants, time values, and notes using
|
Chris@394
|
490 a MIDI device during playback. If a time value or note layer is
|
Chris@394
|
491 current it will be used for insertion (giving a value equal to
|
Chris@394
|
492 the pitch class, or the played note, respectively); otherwise an
|
Chris@394
|
493 existing or new time instants layer will be used just as it is
|
Chris@394
|
494 when inserting instants using the PC keyboard. Using a MIDI
|
Chris@394
|
495 device should give better timing than using the PC keyboard.
|
Chris@394
|
496
|
Chris@394
|
497 - There is a new Activity Log window with a (purely informative) list
|
Chris@394
|
498 of events and user interactions that happen while SV is running.
|
Chris@394
|
499
|
Chris@394
|
500 - The spectrogram has somewhat improved graphical scaling, and
|
Chris@394
|
501 this is now the default (being much faster than the 4x oversampled
|
Chris@394
|
502 method). The previous default is still available as a preference.
|
Chris@394
|
503
|
Chris@394
|
504 - Visualisation of very dense colour plots (such as spectrograms
|
Chris@394
|
505 calculated by plugins) is substantially faster in this release.
|
Chris@394
|
506
|
Chris@394
|
507 - Spectrogram display is now faster in many circumstances.
|
Chris@394
|
508
|
Chris@394
|
509 - Alignment using the MATCH plugin is faster on OS/X than before.
|
Chris@394
|
510
|
Chris@394
|
511 - SV will take into account RDF plugin descriptions, if available,
|
Chris@394
|
512 in order to make somewhat better decisions about display of plugin
|
Chris@394
|
513 outputs (for example, placing segmentation data into a layer with
|
Chris@394
|
514 segmentation plot type).
|
Chris@394
|
515
|
Chris@394
|
516 - You can now switch layers by clicking on the spare area at the left
|
Chris@394
|
517 end of the pane that is also used for the current pane indicator.
|
Chris@394
|
518
|
Chris@394
|
519 - The vertical black lines dividing segments in the time value
|
Chris@394
|
520 layer's segmentation plot style are now optional.
|
Chris@394
|
521
|
Chris@394
|
522 - Several widget layout bugs on OS/X have been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
523
|
Chris@394
|
524 - Several serious crashing, deadlock, and data corruption bugs have
|
Chris@394
|
525 been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
526
|
Chris@394
|
527
|
Chris@2345
|
528 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.4 (05 Dec 2008) since the previous release 1.3:
|
Chris@394
|
529
|
Chris@394
|
530 - SV now has a Region layer type, used for display of features with
|
Chris@394
|
531 durations. It also supports Vamp v2.0 plugins that provide durations
|
Chris@394
|
532 for features.
|
Chris@394
|
533
|
Chris@394
|
534 - Layer data can now be imported from RDF described using the Audio
|
Chris@394
|
535 Features Ontology, as well as from the existing text file types. SV
|
Chris@394
|
536 can also export annotation layer data to RDF/Turtle, although in a
|
Chris@394
|
537 somewhat simplistic manner at present.
|
Chris@394
|
538
|
Chris@394
|
539 - You can search for transforms by text in the new "Find a Transform"
|
Chris@394
|
540 dialog. This searches both installed plugins, and plugins that have
|
Chris@394
|
541 not been installed but that have descriptions available on the
|
Chris@394
|
542 semantic web.
|
Chris@394
|
543
|
Chris@394
|
544 - You can now zoom and scroll vertically in the time-value, note,
|
Chris@394
|
545 and colour 3d plot layers.
|
Chris@394
|
546
|
Chris@394
|
547 - Sonic Visualiser can now load sessions from uncompressed XML files
|
Chris@394
|
548 as well as its own compressed-XML .sv format. Files with extension
|
Chris@394
|
549 .xml that contain suitable session data will be loaded as sessions.
|
Chris@394
|
550 Note that .xml extension files still do not show up in the default
|
Chris@394
|
551 file load filter. This is intentional, as there may be any kind of
|
Chris@394
|
552 data in them -- if you want to load uncompressed session files from
|
Chris@394
|
553 XML, you need to know you're doing it.
|
Chris@394
|
554
|
Chris@394
|
555 - Several crashes and other bugs have been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
556
|
Chris@675
|
557
|
Chris@2345
|
558 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.3 (10 Jul 2008) since the previous release 1.2:
|
Chris@394
|
559
|
Chris@394
|
560 - There is a new spreadsheet-style data viewer and editor for
|
Chris@394
|
561 viewing and editing the data in some types of annotation layer.
|
Chris@394
|
562
|
Chris@394
|
563 - Alignments are now saved to the session file.
|
Chris@394
|
564
|
Chris@394
|
565 - The spectrogram layer is usually somewhat faster than it was.
|
Chris@394
|
566
|
Chris@394
|
567 - You can now hold Shift while dragging to move an item, in order
|
Chris@394
|
568 to override the initial drag resistance introduced in 1.2.
|
Chris@394
|
569
|
Chris@394
|
570 - The gross mis-labelling of time lines in the ruler has been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
571
|
Chris@394
|
572 - There is a new, somewhat provisional PulseAudio output driver.
|
Chris@394
|
573
|
Chris@394
|
574 - Several other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
575
|
Chris@675
|
576
|
Chris@2345
|
577 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.2 (20 Feb 2008) since the previous release 1.0:
|
Chris@394
|
578
|
Chris@394
|
579 - SV now supports time-alignment of multiple performances of a work
|
Chris@394
|
580 loaded at the same time. This option is enabled when the MATCH Vamp
|
Chris@394
|
581 plugin is installed. When alignment is switched on and more than one
|
Chris@394
|
582 audio file is open, SV will assume that all open files are
|
Chris@394
|
583 differently timed performances of the same work, and will calculate
|
Chris@394
|
584 time alignments for them. Playback will then play only a single file
|
Chris@394
|
585 at a time, and the playback cursors in other files will track at the
|
Chris@394
|
586 varying speeds to try to ensure that each is at the same point in the
|
Chris@394
|
587 underlying score. This enables effective comparison of several such
|
Chris@394
|
588 files, as well as a meaningful way to switch from one performance to
|
Chris@394
|
589 another during playback (ensuring that the switch happens at the
|
Chris@394
|
590 correct point in the performance being switched to).
|
Chris@394
|
591
|
Chris@394
|
592 - There is a new Image layer, which can display images from the
|
Chris@394
|
593 local filesystem or retrieved via HTTP or FTP.
|
Chris@394
|
594
|
Chris@394
|
595 - A new measurement tool has been added. With the measurement tool
|
Chris@394
|
596 selected, dragging in a pane draws a rectangle labelled with the
|
Chris@394
|
597 scale values for its start and end corners and its size. You can
|
Chris@394
|
598 have any number of measurements present at once; they are associated
|
Chris@394
|
599 with the top layer, their scale values depend on the scale for that
|
Chris@394
|
600 layer, and they are only shown when that layer is at the top and the
|
Chris@394
|
601 measurement tool is active. Measurements are saved and reloaded in
|
Chris@394
|
602 the session file. Drawing measurements can be undone and redone, and
|
Chris@394
|
603 a measurement can be deleted by hitting Del when highlighted. Note
|
Chris@394
|
604 that the measurement tool shows the scale values associated with the
|
Chris@394
|
605 pixel positions of the mouse when dragging, not any values associated
|
Chris@394
|
606 with actual features present in the audio or its analysis (e.g. the
|
Chris@394
|
607 values are not rounded to the nearest spectrogram bin).
|
Chris@394
|
608
|
Chris@394
|
609 - You can double-click using the measurement tool in the spectrogram
|
Chris@394
|
610 to get an instant measurement rectangle for a feature. This is a
|
Chris@394
|
611 purely graphical feature that works by calculating the boundary of a
|
Chris@394
|
612 contiguous region of pixels "similar to" the one you double-clicked
|
Chris@394
|
613 on; it does not use audio analysis. Adjusting the gain and colour
|
Chris@394
|
614 scheme etc of the spectrogram will (by design) affect the
|
Chris@394
|
615 measurements obtained this way.
|
Chris@394
|
616
|
Chris@394
|
617 - The spectrum can now optionally show frequency estimates of peaks
|
Chris@394
|
618 aligned with a piano keyboard along the horizontal axis (this needs
|
Chris@394
|
619 some refinement).
|
Chris@394
|
620
|
Chris@394
|
621 - The harmonic cursor in the spectrogram has moved from the Select
|
Chris@394
|
622 tool to the Measurement tool. There is now a similar harmonic cursor
|
Chris@394
|
623 in the spectrum. Both of them show more information as text
|
Chris@394
|
624 alongside the cursor than previously.
|
Chris@394
|
625
|
Chris@394
|
626 - There is a new Erase tool for erasing individual points from an
|
Chris@394
|
627 editable layer.
|
Chris@394
|
628
|
Chris@394
|
629 - Several keyboard shortcuts have changed -- all of the Alt+key
|
Chris@394
|
630 shortcuts now either use Ctrl or a plain keypress with no modifier,
|
Chris@394
|
631 to avoid clashes with window manager shortcuts and to make them
|
Chris@394
|
632 easier to use and remember
|
Chris@394
|
633
|
Chris@394
|
634 - The playback controls are now in a Playback menu as well as the
|
Chris@394
|
635 toolbar.
|
Chris@394
|
636
|
Chris@394
|
637 - There is a new key and mouse control reference under Help (or press
|
Chris@394
|
638 F2).
|
Chris@394
|
639
|
Chris@394
|
640 - You can double-click on a pane in navigate mode to jump to a time.
|
Chris@394
|
641
|
Chris@394
|
642 - All of the single-colour layers (waveform, time values etc) now
|
Chris@394
|
643 allow you to define your own colours as well as using the built-in
|
Chris@394
|
644 set. The colour of a layer is now shown next to its name on the pane.
|
Chris@394
|
645
|
Chris@394
|
646 - When you add a new single-colour layer it will use a default colour
|
Chris@394
|
647 that is not yet in use in another layer (if there is one).
|
Chris@394
|
648
|
Chris@394
|
649 - Single-colour layers can now optionally have black backgrounds (with
|
Chris@394
|
650 a set of lighter colours in the default colour palette that use black
|
Chris@394
|
651 backgrounds by default).
|
Chris@394
|
652
|
Chris@394
|
653 - There's a new Printer colour scheme in the spectrogram with only a
|
Chris@394
|
654 small number of grey shades.
|
Chris@394
|
655
|
Chris@394
|
656 - Vertical zoom in a log-scaled spectrogram is much more intuitive;
|
Chris@394
|
657 it now leaves the point that was in the centre of the visible area in
|
Chris@394
|
658 the centre after zoom, instead of the point that was in the centre of
|
Chris@394
|
659 the linear range corresponding to the visible area.
|
Chris@394
|
660
|
Chris@394
|
661 - You can now turn a colour 3d plot layer upside down by clicking the
|
Chris@394
|
662 Invert Vertical Scale button.
|
Chris@394
|
663
|
Chris@394
|
664 - There's a new Layer Summary window which shows the panes and
|
Chris@394
|
665 layer data in a tree layout. This is very simplistic at the moment.
|
Chris@394
|
666
|
Chris@394
|
667 - Each pane now has an [X] button at its top left, which removes that
|
Chris@394
|
668 pane when clicked.
|
Chris@394
|
669
|
Chris@394
|
670 - There's a new Solo play mode toggle button; when active, only the
|
Chris@394
|
671 currently selected pane is played. This is also the default when
|
Chris@394
|
672 time alignment is in use.
|
Chris@394
|
673
|
Chris@394
|
674 - Rewind/ffwd now stay confined to the selection if Play Selection is
|
Chris@394
|
675 enabled; also, the rewind and ffwd "one step" buttons are now enabled
|
Chris@394
|
676 even if there is no time instants layer for them to align to (they
|
Chris@394
|
677 align to the time ruler instead and so jump in steps of a size
|
Chris@394
|
678 dependent on the zoom level).
|
Chris@394
|
679
|
Chris@394
|
680 - You can now export note layers to MIDI.
|
Chris@394
|
681
|
Chris@394
|
682 - MIDI note velocity is partially supported. Note velocity is
|
Chris@394
|
683 retained when importing and exporting MIDI and is used in playback,
|
Chris@394
|
684 but it is not yet shown in the display and cannot yet be edited.
|
Chris@394
|
685
|
Chris@394
|
686 - You can now drag-and-drop files (of whatever type) onto SV from
|
Chris@394
|
687 other programs such as file managers or web browsers.
|
Chris@394
|
688
|
Chris@394
|
689 - mp3 files (and Ogg, but they aren't supported on Windows at the
|
Chris@394
|
690 moment) are now decoded in a background thread so you can see the
|
Chris@394
|
691 start of the track without waiting for the rest to decode.
|
Chris@394
|
692
|
Chris@394
|
693 - Mac builds of SV can now load AAC/mp4 files and anything else
|
Chris@394
|
694 supported by QuickTime.
|
Chris@394
|
695
|
Chris@394
|
696 - There is now an option to resample audio files on import if they
|
Chris@394
|
697 don't match the samplerate of the first file loaded. By default this
|
Chris@394
|
698 is switched off, as it affects the visible waveform. The default
|
Chris@394
|
699 behaviour is unchanged (play at the wrong rate). There is still no
|
Chris@394
|
700 option to handle multiple rates "correctly" (i.e. by resampling
|
Chris@394
|
701 on playback and showing the waveforms at different resolutions
|
Chris@394
|
702 according to each one's underlying rate) and there probably never
|
Chris@394
|
703 will be.
|
Chris@394
|
704
|
Chris@394
|
705 - SV can now open .m3u playlist files, though it's a hazardous thing
|
Chris@394
|
706 to do as it simply loads all the files in the playlist at once.
|
Chris@394
|
707
|
Chris@394
|
708 - SV now has various options for how to number tapped time instants
|
Chris@394
|
709 (bar/beat, plain counter, time in seconds, tempo etc).
|
Chris@394
|
710
|
Chris@394
|
711 - The official builds use Qt 4.3, which fixes some nasty
|
Chris@394
|
712 bugs in the file dialog that the version 1.0 builds suffered from.
|
Chris@394

715 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.0 (10 May 2007):
|
Chris@2345
|
716
|
Chris@2345
|
717 - First official release of Sonic Visualiser
