|
Chris@2484
|
6 - Add right-click (or Ctrl-click, on the Mac) context menus to the
|
Chris@2484
|
7 layer property tabs, pane zoom controls, and all dial controls,
|
Chris@2484
|
8 providing some basic edit and reset functions
|
Chris@2484
|
9
|
Chris@2484
|
10 - Provide format options when exporting layers to CSV, allowing
|
Chris@2498

11 control over column separator, header row, and timestamp format
|
Chris@2484
|
12
|
Chris@2567
|

|
Chris@2533
|
21
|
Chris@2498
|
22 - Fix failure to show parameter updates when changing the current
|
Chris@2498
|
23 program in a Vamp plugin that supports programs (e.g. Melodia)
|
Chris@2498
|
24
|
Chris@2502

|
28 for plugins that are not yet installed but are available in pack
|
Chris@2533

29
|
Chris@2533
|
30 - Improve and tidy various aspects of OSC support, and update
|
Chris@2533
|
31 documentation for it
|
Chris@2533
|
32
|
Chris@2498
|
33 - Improve performance of peak-frequency spectrogram
|
Chris@2498
|
34
|
Chris@2484
|
35 - Fix missing undo/redo of layer renames
|
Chris@2484
|
36
|
Chris@2533
|
37 - Fix failure to audition effects plugins live, while adjusting their
|
Chris@2533
|
38 parameters in preparation for applying them - this worked in some
|
Chris@2533
|
39 cases, but not the most common ones; it should now work everywhere
|
Chris@2533
|
40
|
Chris@2421
|
41
|
Chris@2430
|
42 Changes in Sonic Visualiser v4.0.1 (10 Dec 2019) since the previous release 4.0:
|
Chris@2421
|
43
|
Chris@2421
|
44 - Fix nonsense vertical scale in NoteLayer when displaying a model
|
Chris@2421
|
45 with non-Hz scale (e.g. from an analysis plugin that outputs MIDI
|
Chris@2421
|
46 note values)
|
Chris@2421
|
47
|
Chris@2421
|

|
54
|
Chris@2403
|
55 Changes in Sonic Visualiser v4.0 (25 Oct 2019) since the previous release 3.3:
|
Chris@2328
|
56
|
Chris@2335
|
57 - Add Box annotation layer type, typically used for time-frequency
|
Chris@2335
|
58 boxes to be annotated over a spectrogram. Because this introduces a
|
Chris@2335
|
59 new layer type into the session file format, the major version
|
Chris@2383
|
60 number has been bumped to v4.0. Sessions saved from v4.0 can still
|
Chris@2383
|
61 be opened in earlier versions of Sonic Visualiser, but any Box
|
Chris@2383
|
62 layers will not be loaded
|
Chris@2383
|
63
|
Chris@2383
|
64 - Fix behaviour of auto-align layers on top of waveform: they can now
|
Chris@2383
|
65 be aligned in the vertical scale, if they have a unit of V and the
|
Chris@2383
|
66 waveform is of a single channel in linear or dB mode
|
Chris@2383
|
67
|
Chris@2383
|
68 - Make the UI more readable in macOS "dark mode"
|
Chris@2383
|
69
|
Chris@2383
|
70 - Fix sluggishness in starting and stopping playback when using
|
Chris@2383
|
71 PulseAudio v13.0+
|
Chris@2335
|
72
|
Chris@2328
|
73
|
Chris@2345
|
74 Changes in Sonic Visualiser v3.3 (21 May 2019) since the previous release 3.2.1:
|
Chris@2211
|
75
|
Chris@2211
|
76 - Add support for reading the Opus audio codec on all platforms
|
Chris@2211
|
77
|
Chris@2211
|
78 - Add support for WMA and AAC formats on 64-bit Windows. (AAC was
|
Chris@2211
|
79 already supported on macOS.) Note that AAC support on Windows does
|
Chris@2211
|
80 not support "gapless" import, i.e. removing the encoder gaps at
|
Chris@2211
|
81 start and end of the stream
|
Chris@2211
|
82
|
Chris@2260
|
83 - Add ability to choose the field separator when importing CSV and
|
Chris@2260
|
84 CSV-like files, if more than one possible candidate separator is
|
Chris@2260
|
85 found in the file
|
Chris@2260
|
86
|
Chris@2260
|
87 - Fix crash when closing session or starting a new session while
|
Chris@2260
|
88 calculating alignment of multiple audio files
|
Chris@2260
|
89
|
Chris@2260
|
90 - Fix crash when running certain plugins that call for
|
Chris@2260
|
91 frequency-domain input at non-power-of-two block sizes
|
Chris@2260
|
92
|
Chris@2260
|
93 - Fix wandering left edge of measure-tool rectangle while dragging
|
Chris@2260
|
94 out the area
|
Chris@2260
|
95
|
Chris@2260
|
96 - Ensure that plugin stderr debug output is logged to the SV log file
|
Chris@2260
|
97
|
Chris@2002
|
98
|
Chris@2345
|
99 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.2.1 (07 Jan 2019) since the previous release 3.2:
|
Chris@2175
|
100
|
Chris@2175
|
101 - Fix failure to record from built-in microphone on macOS 10.14
|
Chris@2175
|
102 (caused by lack of microphone permission request text)
|
Chris@2175
|
103
|
Chris@2175
|
104 - Fix crash when closing SV or starting a new session during recording
|
Chris@2175
|
105
|
Chris@2175
|
106 - Fix crash on exit in some builds that disable OSC support
|
Chris@2175
|
107
|
Chris@2175
|
108 - Fix flashing effect when scrolling certain configurations of colour 3d
|
Chris@2175
|
109 plot layer leftwards
|
Chris@2175
|
110
|
Chris@2175
|
111
|
Chris@2345
|
112 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.2 (07 Dec 2018) since the previous release 3.1.1:
|
Chris@2002
|
113
|
Chris@2048
|
114 - Add ability to zoom closer than one sample per pixel, so as to see
|
Chris@2048
|
115 the interpolated signal level between samples
|
Chris@2048
|
116
|
Chris@2110
|
117 - Add oversampling control to the spectrogram and spectrum layers
|
Chris@2110
|
118
|
Chris@2110
|
119 - Highlight and label frequency peaks in the spectrum as the mouse
|
Chris@2110
|
120 rolls over them, when enabled in the parameter area
|
Chris@2110
|
121
|
Chris@2002
|
122 - Add feature to convert and import audio from a CSV data file
|
Chris@2002
|
123
|
Chris@2048
|
124 - Add some new colour maps, and restore the old Blue on Black one
|
Chris@2048
|
125
|
Chris@2110
|
126 - Speed up spectrum rendering at high resolutions
|
Chris@2110
|
127
|
Chris@2048
|
128 - Fix failure to pass Nyquist bins correctly to
|
Chris@2048
|
129 frequency-domain-input Vamp plugins in some circumstances
|
Chris@2048
|
130
|
Chris@2110
|
131 - Fix sometimes incorrect shortcut associations for new-layer menu
|
Chris@2110
|
132 items
|
Chris@2110
|
133
|
Chris@2139
|
134 - Various other rendering improvements and bug fixes
|
Chris@2110
|
135
|
cannam@1948
|
136
|
Chris@2345
|
137 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.1.1 (14 Aug 2018) since the previous release 3.1:
|
cannam@1948
|
138
|
cannam@1948
|
139 - Fix failure to record correctly into an empty session with certain
|
cannam@1948
|
140 audio drivers
|
cannam@1948
|
141
|
Chris@1958
|
142 - Fix failure to run LADSPA plugins at all, except with some unusual
|
Chris@1958
|
143 path layouts
|
Chris@1958
|
144
|
Chris@1958
|
145 - Fix failure to silence sonified notes when rewinding backwards or
|
Chris@1958
|
146 jumping back from a loop endpoint
|
Chris@1958
|
147
|
cannam@1948
|
148 - Fix macOS .dmg image so as to use older HFS+ filesystem for compatibility
|
cannam@1948
|
149
|
Chris@1871
|
150
|
Chris@2345
|
151 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.1 (14 July 2018) since the previous release 3.0.3:
|
Chris@1871
|
152
|
Chris@1871
|
153 - Add Plugins tab to Preferences dialog, from which you can review
|
Chris@1871
|
154 the plugin load paths and see which plugins were loaded from which
|
Chris@1871
|
155 locations, and also customise load paths (though the various path
|
Chris@1871
|
156 environment variables are still supported)
|
Chris@1871
|
157
|
Chris@1935
|
158 - Stream the export of audio data and other CSV data so that
|
Chris@1935
|
159 very large exports don't hang the UI or run us out of memory
|
Chris@1935
|
160 (thanks to Lucas Thompson)
|
Chris@1935
|
161
|
Chris@1935
|
162 - Ensure vertical scale appears for auto-align layers when there is
|
Chris@1935
|
163 nothing else to auto-align them to
|
Chris@1935
|
164
|
Chris@1871
|
165 - Fix another long-standing Windows-platform wide-char/utf8
|
Chris@1871
|
166 conversion problem, with environment variable naming and contents
|
Chris@1871
|
167
|
Chris@1871
|
168 - Improve handling of incomplete session loads, i.e. situations where
|
Chris@1871
|
169 the audio files referred to by a session could not be found -
|
Chris@1871
|
170 previously the session could be re-saved immediately thus losing
|
Chris@1871
|
171 the audio reference; now at least we disable Save (enabling only
|
Chris@1871
|
172 Save As) and show a warning
|
Chris@1871
|
173
|
Chris@1871
|
174 - Update pane and layer menu shortcuts so that the
|
Chris@1871
|
175 waveform/spectrogram/etc shortcuts (Shift+G etc) operate on the
|
Chris@1871
|
176 source model in the currently-selected pane rather than the main
|
Chris@1871
|
177 model. This is a backward-incompatible change but is a far more
|
Chris@1871
|
178 intuitive way for the function to work
|
Chris@1871
|
179
|
Chris@1935
|
180 - Use dark background for bright colours in time-value/note/etc
|
Chris@1935
|
181 layers as well as e.g. waveforms - this is how it was always
|
Chris@1935
|
182 "intended to" work, but it is a backward-incompatible change
|
Chris@1935
|
183
|
Chris@1871
|
184 - Make "Select All" select the whole span of everything that exists,
|
Chris@1871
|
185 not just the main model
|
Chris@1871
|
186
|
Chris@1871
|
187 - Add horizontal scale to Spectrum layer
|
Chris@1871
|
188
|
Chris@1871
|
189 - Improve spacing and labelling of vertical log scales
|
Chris@1871
|
190
|
Chris@1871
|
191 - Update build system for better Cap'n Proto version support and to
|
Chris@1871
|
192 use Repoint for code management in the repository
|
Chris@1871
|
193
|
Chris@1871
|
194 - Various other bug fixes
|
Chris@1871
|
195
|
Chris@1702
|
196
|
Chris@2345
|
197 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0.3 (25 May 2017) since the previous release 3.0.2:
|
Chris@1702
|
198
|
Chris@1702
|
199 - Improve decisions about where and how to label vertical scales
|
Chris@1702
|
200
|
Chris@1702
|
201 - Update build support material and documentation to reflect the
|
Chris@1702
|
202 official release of Cap'n Proto 0.6 (which we can now use rather
|
Chris@1702
|
203 than depending on git builds)
|
Chris@1702
|
204
|
Chris@1669
|
205
|
Chris@2345
|
206 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0.2 (25 Mar 2017) since the previous release 3.0.1:
|
Chris@1669
|
207
|
Chris@1669
|
208 - Fix crash when changing parameters for spectrum view
|
Chris@1669
|
209
|
Chris@1669
|
210 - Fix incorrect measure tool crosshairs in spectrum view
|
Chris@1669
|
211
|
Chris@1669
|
212 - Update Russian and Czech UI translations (thanks to Alexandre Prokoudine
|
Chris@1669
|
213 and Pavel Fric respectively)
|
Chris@1702
|
214
|
Chris@1658
|
215
|
Chris@2345
|
216 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0.1 (12 Mar 2017) since the previous release 3.0:
|
Chris@1658
|
217
|
Chris@1658
|
218 - Fix crashes with MIDI devices and speedup/slowdown control on Windows
|
Chris@1661
|
219
|
Chris@1658
|
220 - Update MIDI input driver layer
|
Chris@1447
|
221
|
Chris@1661
|
222
|
Chris@2345
|
223 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 3.0 (07 Mar 2017) since the previous release 2.5:
|
Chris@1447
|
224
|
Chris@1516
|
225 - Add ability to record audio, and ability to change the audio device
|
Chris@1516
|
226 for playback or recording in the preferences
|
Chris@1447
|
227
|
Chris@1447
|
228 - Add complete support for high-resolution (Hi-DPI or retina)
|
Chris@1511
|
229 displays, including for layer data rendering as well as UI controls
|
Chris@1511
|
230 and icons. This makes the biggest difference when using a retina
|
Chris@1511
|
231 Mac, on which previous versions did not render layer data at retina
|
Chris@1447
|
232 resolution, but it also improves scaling and rendering of UI
|
Chris@1447
|
233 elements on Hi-DPI displays on Windows and Linux
|
Chris@1447
|
234
|
Chris@1451
|
235 - Add ability to export scalable (SVG) image files
|
Chris@1451
|
236
|
Chris@1447
|
237 - Run plugins in a separate process, so that if a plugin crashes, it
|
Chris@1447
|
238 no longer brings down Sonic Visualiser with it. In every other
|
Chris@1447
|
239 respect the behaviour should be unchanged
|
Chris@1447
|
240
|
Chris@1447
|
241 - Scan plugins on startup in a separate process, and report on any
|
Chris@1447
|
242 that crash or won't load
|
Chris@1447
|
243
|
Chris@1527
|
244 - Add ability to open, display, and analyse very long audio files (of
|
Chris@1527
|
245 more than 2^32 sample frames)
|
Chris@1527
|
246
|
Chris@1447
|
247 - Change mp3 file loading so as to compensate for encoder/decoder
|
Chris@1447
|
248 delay and padding (using "gapless playback" logic). While this is a
|
Chris@1447
|
249 real improvement, unfortunately it does mean that the initial
|
Chris@1447
|
250 padding in mp3 file load has changed from previous versions, which
|
Chris@1447
|
251 may mean some sessions saved in previous versions are no longer
|
Chris@1447
|
252 correctly aligned. It's not a great idea to use mp3 as a file
|
Chris@1447
|
253 format of record, because of differences like this between
|
Chris@1447
|
254 decoders. The previous behaviour is still available as a preference.
|
Chris@1447
|
255
|
Chris@1470
|
256 - Add new Hybrid normalisation type for spectrogram and colour 3d
|
Chris@1470
|
257 plot layers. This normalises each column to its peak value and then
|
Chris@1470
|
258 scales the normalised values by the log of the peak in order to
|
Chris@1470
|
259 restore some distinction in scale between columns with different
|
Chris@1470
|
260 levels. It can provide quite visually clear results.
|
Chris@1470
|
261
|
Chris@1447
|
262 - Add function to subdivide time instant layers into regular
|
Chris@1447
|
263 intervals (and its inverse)
|
Chris@1447
|
264
|
Chris@1447
|
265 - Add new preference for default colour scales
|
Chris@1447
|
266
|
Chris@1578
|
267 - Add a basic ability to zoom (in the frequency axis) to the spectrum
|
Chris@1624
|
268
|
Chris@1447
|
269 - Switch to using combined level/pan controls in layer property boxes
|
Chris@1447
|
270 and for the main volume control
|
Chris@1447
|
271
|
Chris@1520
|
272 - Make CSV file reader better able to handle files with varying
|
Chris@1520
|
273 numbers of columns
|
Chris@1520
|
274
|
Chris@1516
|
275 - Fix a number of problems on Windows with loading and saving some
|
Chris@1516
|
276 file formats to filenames not representable in system codepage
|
Chris@1516
|
277
|
Chris@1520
|
278 - Add "What's New" dialog
|
Chris@1520
|
279
|
Chris@1527
|
280 - Finally switch the Windows build to 64-bit by default (with
|
Chris@1447
|
281 adapters to run either 32- or 64-bit plugins)
|
Chris@1451
|
282
|
Chris@1447
|
283
|
Chris@2345
|
284 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.5 (23 Oct 2015) since the previous release 2.4.1:
|
Chris@1072
|
285
|
Chris@1072
|
286 - Add unit-converter dialog, for converting between various pitch and
|
Chris@1072
|
287 timing units
|
Chris@1072
|
288
|
Chris@1072
|
289 - Fix failure to reload note layers from session file
|
Chris@1072
|
290
|
Chris@1072
|
291 - Use a more sensible scale for the play-speed dial
|
Chris@1072
|
292
|
Chris@1072
|
293 - Fix crash when importing very wide CSV files
|
Chris@1072
|
294
|
Chris@1072
|
295 - Fix generation of wrong layer type from some CSV files
|
Chris@1072
|
296
|
Chris@1072
|
297 - Fix failure to export last instant in a time-instant layer
|
Chris@1072
|
298

300 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.4.1 (01 Oct 2014) since the previous release 2.4:
|
Chris@876
|
301
|
Chris@876
|
302 - Fix a crash when rendering certain colour 3d plot layers
|
Chris@716
|
303
|
Chris@1457
|
304
|
Chris@2345
|
305 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.4 (01 Sep 2014) since the previous release 2.3:
|
Chris@714
|
306
|
Chris@776
|
307 - Add support for left/right scrolling using a two-finger touchpad
|
Chris@776
|
308 gesture (where available)
|
Chris@776
|
309
|
Chris@716
|
310 - Make the octave numbering into a configurable option, and change
|
Chris@716
|
311 the default. Previously Sonic Visualiser labelled middle-C as "C3";
|
Chris@716
|
312 now it labels middle-C as "C4", a more common standard in the world
|
Chris@776
|
313 outside MIDI sequencer software. The previous system is available
|
Chris@776
|
314 as an option in the Preferences. This affects only the visible
|
Chris@776
|
315 labels: there is no change to analysis or to the file format
|
Chris@714
|
316
|
Chris@714
|
317 - Sonify time-value layers. Any time-value curve whose scale unit is
|
Chris@714
|
318 set to Hz will now acquire a playback toggle control; this control
|
Chris@714
|
319 is off by default, but if it is switched on, the curve will be
|
Chris@714
|
320 played back using a variable-frequency sound generator
|
Chris@714
|
321
|
Chris@714
|
322 - Add support for playback of note layers with non-MIDI frequencies
|
Chris@714
|
323 (formerly the note playback was limited to exact MIDI pitch)
|
Chris@714
|
324
|
Chris@714
|
325 - Change the default playback sample for note layers from piano to an
|
Chris@714
|
326 electric piano with sustain. The piano sample is still available,
|
Chris@714
|
327 and any sessions saved using it should continue to use it
|
Chris@714
|
328
|
Chris@867
|
329 - Add a cancel button for Vamp plugin processing: currently,
|
Chris@867
|
330 cancelling a transform results in a part-complete layer rather than
|
Chris@867
|
331 removing the results
|
Chris@867
|
332
|
Chris@790
|
333 - Add keyboard shortcuts to cycle the current layer (in addition to
|
Chris@790
|
334 the existing ones to cycle the current pane)
|
Chris@790
|
335
|
Chris@790
|
336 - Fix various bugs related to layer ordering: layer tabs re-ordering
|
Chris@790
|
337 themselves randomly when new layer added, layers being ordered
|
Chris@791
|
338 randomly when saving and reloading a session
|
Chris@790
|
339
|
Chris@848
|
340 - Fix incorrect interaction with non-Unicode usernames when creating
|
Chris@848
|
341 temporary and template directories on Windows
|
Chris@848
|
342
|
Chris@714
|
343 - Shade the start and end of the main audio file, to make them easier
|
Chris@714
|
344 to see for files that start or end in silence
|
Chris@714
|
345
|
Chris@714
|
346 - Speed up rendering and scrolling in time-value layers
|
Chris@714
|
347
|
Chris@714
|
348 - Make it possible to import CSV files directly into Note layers by
|
Chris@714
|
349 adding Pitch as a data type in the CSV file import dialog
|
Chris@675
|
350
|
Chris@856
|
351 - Fix play pointer jump to wrong frame when clicking on row in the
|
Chris@856
|
352 layer edit dialog
|
Chris@856
|
353
|
Chris@848
|
354 - Fix problems with keyboard shortcuts when using Qt5 on OS/X. This
|
Chris@848
|
355 is the first release in which the official builds use Qt5 for all
|
Chris@848
|
356 platforms.
|

|
364 - Add "Export Audio Data" feature
|
Chris@675
|
365
|
Chris@675
|
366 - Show piano keyboard scale in note and time-value layers as well
|
Chris@675
|
367 as spectrogram, where vertical scale is log Hz; also show
|
Chris@675
|
368 numerical scale in note and region layers when not auto-aligned
|
Chris@675
|
369
|
Chris@675
|
370 - Speed up CSV file import and avoid showing crazily wide window

Chris@608
|
390 via libsndfile
|
Chris@675
|
391
|
Chris@608
|

|
423 obsolete QuickTime audio file reader)
|
Chris@512

424
|
Chris@512
|
425 - Simplify RDF reading and fix some bugs. Now requires Dataquay
|
Chris@512
|
426 (http://breakfastquay.com/dataquay/) rather than using Redland
|
Chris@512
|
427 directly. Release builds use Sord/Serd rather than Redland
|
Chris@512
|
428
|
Chris@512
|
429 - Add a fullscreen mode on the F11 key
|
Chris@471
|

|
Chris@2345
|
432 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.9 (10 Oct 2011) since the previous release 1.8:
|
Chris@471
|
433
|
Chris@471
|
434 - Add session templates; save session as template; apply template to
|
Chris@471
|
435 session
|
Chris@471

Chris@471
|
440 - Various bug fixes.
|
Chris@394

|
Chris@394
|
444
|
Chris@394
|
445 - Sonic Visualiser now registers as a file type handler on OS/X,
|
Chris@394

|
Chris@394
|
447
|
Chris@394
|

|
Chris@394
|
449
|
Chris@407
|
450 - The CSV import dialog has been overhauled, allowing more flexible
|
Chris@407
|
451 selection of purpose for each column
|
Chris@407
|
452
|
Chris@394

Chris@394
|
460 - The duplication of right-button menu functions when multiple files
|
Chris@394
|
461 were loaded has been fixed

|
Chris@394
|
463 - The layer-add menu functions now have shortcuts (Dan Stowell)
|
Chris@394
|
464
|
Chris@394
|
465 - The codebase has been reorganised into libraries and a configure
|
Chris@394
|
466 step added. It should be easier to build and maintain on OS/X and
|
Chris@394
|
467 Linux than previously, although it won't make much difference on
|
Chris@394
|
468 Windows.
|
Chris@394
|
469
|
Chris@397
|
470 - A Czech translation is now included (thanks to Pavel Fric).
|

|
Chris@675
|
472
|
Chris@2345
|
473 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.7.2 (05 May 2010) since the previous release 1.7.1:
|
Chris@394
|
474
|
Chris@394
|
475 - The time-value layer now has an origin line and an option to
|
Chris@394
|
476 show derivatives (change from one point to the next) rather than
|
Chris@394
|
477 raw values
|
Chris@394
|
478
|
Chris@394
|
479 - A static initialiser race has been fixed, possibly fixing an
|
Chris@394
|
480 occasional crash on startup in Windows
|
Chris@394
|
481
|
Chris@394

|
Chris@394
|
487
|
Chris@394
|
488 - The RDF importer does a better job of assigning labels to layers,
|
Chris@394
|
489 layers to panes, and values to labelled regions
|
Chris@394
|
490
|
Chris@394
|
491 - Interactive editing in the Text layer benefits from the same
|
Chris@394
|
492 improvements as made in 1.7 to Note and Region layers
|
Chris@394
|
493
|
Chris@394
|
494 - The layer data editor window has a text search feature
|
Chris@394
|
495
|
Chris@394
|
496 - The main window status bar now shows the last label to have passed
|
Chris@394
|
497 the playback position in the current layer, at the right end of the
|
Chris@394
|
498 status bar
|
Chris@394
|
499
|
Chris@394
|
500 - The Russian translation has been updated (thanks Alexandre)

Chris@394
|
504
|
Chris@394
|
505 - A new "Insert Item At Selection" function on the Edit menu

507 extents correspond to the current selection(s)
|
Chris@394
|
508
|
Chris@394
|
509 - Interactively editing points in the Note and Region layers
|
Chris@394
|
510 now works much more smoothly
|
Chris@394
|
511
|
Chris@394
|
512 - SV can now import MIDI files that use SMPTE timecode for event
|
Chris@394
|
513 timing (importing MIDI files using with the more common
|
Chris@394
|
514 timebase-based timing was already supported)
|
Chris@394
|
515
|
Chris@394
|
516 - Time values throughout the display may optionally be shown in
|
Chris@394
|
517 seconds and frames at various frame rates
|
Chris@1520
|
518
|
Chris@394
|
519 - A crash on exit in Windows has been fixed
|
Chris@394
|
520

|
Chris@394
|
522
|
Chris@394
|
523 - Various other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
524
|
Chris@675
|
525
|
Chris@2345
|
526 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.6 (22 Jun 2009) since the previous release 1.5:
|
Chris@394
|
527
|
Chris@394
|
528 - The Colour 3D Plot layer now supports logarithmic vertical
|
Chris@394
|
529 scale and linear interpolation options.
|
Chris@394
|
530
|
Chris@394
|
531 - A new colour scheme (High Gain) has been added for spectrogram
|
Chris@394
|
532 and Colour 3D Plot, which improves readability for some data.
|
Chris@394
|
533
|
Chris@394
|
534 - Further performance improvements have been made to Colour 3D
|
Chris@394
|
535 Plot.
|
Chris@394
|
536
|
Chris@394
|
537 - Various other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
538
|
Chris@675
|
539
|
Chris@2345
|
540 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.5 (16 Mar 2009) since the previous release 1.4:
|
Chris@394
|
541
|
Chris@394
|
542 - You can now insert time instants, time values, and notes using
|
Chris@394
|
543 a MIDI device during playback. If a time value or note layer is
|
Chris@394
|
544 current it will be used for insertion (giving a value equal to
|
Chris@394
|
545 the pitch class, or the played note, respectively); otherwise an
|
Chris@394
|
546 existing or new time instants layer will be used just as it is
|
Chris@394
|
547 when inserting instants using the PC keyboard. Using a MIDI
|
Chris@394
|
548 device should give better timing than using the PC keyboard.
|
Chris@394
|
549
|
Chris@394
|
550 - There is a new Activity Log window with a (purely informative) list
|
Chris@394
|
551 of events and user interactions that happen while SV is running.
|
Chris@394
|
552
|
Chris@394
|
553 - The spectrogram has somewhat improved graphical scaling, and
|
Chris@394
|
554 this is now the default (being much faster than the 4x oversampled
|
Chris@394
|
555 method). The previous default is still available as a preference.
|
Chris@394
|
556
|
Chris@394
|
557 - Visualisation of very dense colour plots (such as spectrograms
|
Chris@394
|
558 calculated by plugins) is substantially faster in this release.
|
Chris@394
|
559
|
Chris@394
|
560 - Spectrogram display is now faster in many circumstances.
|
Chris@394
|
561
|
Chris@394
|
562 - Alignment using the MATCH plugin is faster on OS/X than before.
|
Chris@394
|
563
|
Chris@394
|
564 - SV will take into account RDF plugin descriptions, if available,
|
Chris@394
|
565 in order to make somewhat better decisions about display of plugin
|
Chris@394
|
566 outputs (for example, placing segmentation data into a layer with
|
Chris@394
|
567 segmentation plot type).
|
Chris@394
|
568
|
Chris@394
|
569 - You can now switch layers by clicking on the spare area at the left
|
Chris@394
|
570 end of the pane that is also used for the current pane indicator.
|
Chris@394
|
571
|
Chris@394
|
572 - The vertical black lines dividing segments in the time value
|
Chris@394
|
573 layer's segmentation plot style are now optional.
|
Chris@394
|
574
|
Chris@394
|
575 - Several widget layout bugs on OS/X have been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
576
|
Chris@394
|
577 - Several serious crashing, deadlock, and data corruption bugs have
|
Chris@394
|
578 been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
579
|
Chris@394
|
580
|
Chris@2345
|
581 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.4 (05 Dec 2008) since the previous release 1.3:
|
Chris@394
|
582
|
Chris@394
|
583 - SV now has a Region layer type, used for display of features with
|
Chris@394
|
584 durations. It also supports Vamp v2.0 plugins that provide durations
|
Chris@394
|
585 for features.
|
Chris@394
|
586
|
Chris@394
|
587 - Layer data can now be imported from RDF described using the Audio
|
Chris@394
|
588 Features Ontology, as well as from the existing text file types. SV
|
Chris@394
|
589 can also export annotation layer data to RDF/Turtle, although in a
|
Chris@394
|
590 somewhat simplistic manner at present.
|
Chris@394
|
591
|
Chris@394
|
592 - You can search for transforms by text in the new "Find a Transform"
|
Chris@394
|
593 dialog. This searches both installed plugins, and plugins that have
|
Chris@394
|
594 not been installed but that have descriptions available on the
|
Chris@394
|
595 semantic web.
|
Chris@394
|
596
|
Chris@394
|
597 - You can now zoom and scroll vertically in the time-value, note,
|
Chris@394
|
598 and colour 3d plot layers.
|
Chris@394
|
599
|
Chris@394
|
600 - Sonic Visualiser can now load sessions from uncompressed XML files
|
Chris@394
|
601 as well as its own compressed-XML .sv format. Files with extension
|
Chris@394
|
602 .xml that contain suitable session data will be loaded as sessions.
|

|
603 Note that .xml extension files still do not show up in the default
|
Chris@394
|
604 file load filter. This is intentional, as there may be any kind of
|
Chris@394
|
605 data in them -- if you want to load uncompressed session files from
|
Chris@394
|
606 XML, you need to know you're doing it.
|
Chris@394
|
607
|
Chris@394
|
608 - Several crashes and other bugs have been fixed.

611 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.3 (10 Jul 2008) since the previous release 1.2:
|
Chris@394
|
612
|
Chris@394
|
613 - There is a new spreadsheet-style data viewer and editor for
|
Chris@394
|
614 viewing and editing the data in some types of annotation layer.
|
Chris@394
|
615
|
Chris@394
|
616 - Alignments are now saved to the session file.
|
Chris@394
|
617
|
Chris@394
|
618 - The spectrogram layer is usually somewhat faster than it was.
|
Chris@394
|
619
|
Chris@394
|
620 - You can now hold Shift while dragging to move an item, in order
|
Chris@394
|
621 to override the initial drag resistance introduced in 1.2.
|
Chris@394
|
622
|
Chris@394
|
623 - The gross mis-labelling of time lines in the ruler has been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
624
|
Chris@394
|
625 - There is a new, somewhat provisional PulseAudio output driver.
|
Chris@394
|
626
|
Chris@394
|
627 - Several other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
628
|
Chris@675
|
629
|
Chris@2345
|
630 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.2 (20 Feb 2008) since the previous release 1.0:
|
Chris@394
|
631
|
Chris@394
|
632 - SV now supports time-alignment of multiple performances of a work
|
Chris@394
|
633 loaded at the same time. This option is enabled when the MATCH Vamp
|
Chris@394
|
634 plugin is installed. When alignment is switched on and more than one
|
Chris@394
|
635 audio file is open, SV will assume that all open files are
|
Chris@394
|
636 differently timed performances of the same work, and will calculate
|
Chris@394
|
637 time alignments for them. Playback will then play only a single file
|
Chris@394
|
638 at a time, and the playback cursors in other files will track at the
|
Chris@394
|
639 varying speeds to try to ensure that each is at the same point in the
|
Chris@394
|
640 underlying score. This enables effective comparison of several such
|
Chris@394
|
641 files, as well as a meaningful way to switch from one performance to
|
Chris@394
|
642 another during playback (ensuring that the switch happens at the
|
Chris@394
|
643 correct point in the performance being switched to).
|
Chris@394
|
644
|
Chris@394
|
645 - There is a new Image layer, which can display images from the
|
Chris@394
|
646 local filesystem or retrieved via HTTP or FTP.
|
Chris@394
|
647
|
Chris@394
|
648 - A new measurement tool has been added. With the measurement tool
|
Chris@394
|
649 selected, dragging in a pane draws a rectangle labelled with the
|
Chris@394
|
650 scale values for its start and end corners and its size. You can
|
Chris@394
|
651 have any number of measurements present at once; they are associated
|
Chris@394
|
652 with the top layer, their scale values depend on the scale for that
|
Chris@394
|
653 layer, and they are only shown when that layer is at the top and the
|
Chris@394
|
654 measurement tool is active. Measurements are saved and reloaded in
|
Chris@394
|
655 the session file. Drawing measurements can be undone and redone, and
|
Chris@394
|
656 a measurement can be deleted by hitting Del when highlighted. Note
|
Chris@394
|
657 that the measurement tool shows the scale values associated with the
|
Chris@394
|
658 pixel positions of the mouse when dragging, not any values associated
|
Chris@394
|
659 with actual features present in the audio or its analysis (e.g. the
|
Chris@394
|
660 values are not rounded to the nearest spectrogram bin).
|
Chris@394
|
661
|
Chris@394
|
662 - You can double-click using the measurement tool in the spectrogram
|
Chris@394
|
663 to get an instant measurement rectangle for a feature. This is a
|
Chris@394
|
664 purely graphical feature that works by calculating the boundary of a
|
Chris@394
|
665 contiguous region of pixels "similar to" the one you double-clicked
|
Chris@394
|
666 on; it does not use audio analysis. Adjusting the gain and colour
|
Chris@394
|
667 scheme etc of the spectrogram will (by design) affect the
|
Chris@394
|
668 measurements obtained this way.
|
Chris@394
|
669
|
Chris@394
|
670 - The spectrum can now optionally show frequency estimates of peaks
|
Chris@394
|
671 aligned with a piano keyboard along the horizontal axis (this needs
|
Chris@394
|
672 some refinement).
|
Chris@394
|
673
|
Chris@394
|
674 - The harmonic cursor in the spectrogram has moved from the Select
|
Chris@394
|
675 tool to the Measurement tool. There is now a similar harmonic cursor
|
Chris@394
|
676 in the spectrum. Both of them show more information as text
|
Chris@394
|
677 alongside the cursor than previously.
|
Chris@394
|
678
|
Chris@394
|
679 - There is a new Erase tool for erasing individual points from an
|
Chris@394
|
680 editable layer.
|
Chris@394
|
681
|
Chris@394
|
682 - Several keyboard shortcuts have changed -- all of the Alt+key
|
Chris@394
|
683 shortcuts now either use Ctrl or a plain keypress with no modifier,
|
Chris@394
|
684 to avoid clashes with window manager shortcuts and to make them
|
Chris@394
|
685 easier to use and remember
|
Chris@394
|
686
|
Chris@394
|
687 - The playback controls are now in a Playback menu as well as the
|
Chris@394
|
688 toolbar.
|
Chris@394
|
689
|
Chris@394
|
690 - There is a new key and mouse control reference under Help (or press
|
Chris@394
|
691 F2).
|
Chris@394
|
692
|
Chris@394
|
693 - You can double-click on a pane in navigate mode to jump to a time.
|
Chris@394
|
694
|
Chris@394
|
695 - All of the single-colour layers (waveform, time values etc) now
|
Chris@394
|
696 allow you to define your own colours as well as using the built-in
|
Chris@394
|
697 set. The colour of a layer is now shown next to its name on the pane.
|
Chris@394
|
698
|
Chris@394
|
699 - When you add a new single-colour layer it will use a default colour
|
Chris@394
|
700 that is not yet in use in another layer (if there is one).
|
Chris@394
|
701
|
Chris@394
|
702 - Single-colour layers can now optionally have black backgrounds (with
|
Chris@394
|
703 a set of lighter colours in the default colour palette that use black
|
Chris@394
|
704 backgrounds by default).
|
Chris@394
|
705
|
Chris@394
|
706 - There's a new Printer colour scheme in the spectrogram with only a
|
Chris@394
|
707 small number of grey shades.
|
Chris@394
|
708
|
Chris@394
|
709 - Vertical zoom in a log-scaled spectrogram is much more intuitive;
|
Chris@394
|
710 it now leaves the point that was in the centre of the visible area in
|
Chris@394
|
711 the centre after zoom, instead of the point that was in the centre of
|
Chris@394
|
712 the linear range corresponding to the visible area.
|
Chris@394
|
713
|
Chris@394
|
714 - You can now turn a colour 3d plot layer upside down by clicking the
|
Chris@394
|
715 Invert Vertical Scale button.
|
Chris@394
|
716
|
Chris@394
|
717 - There's a new Layer Summary window which shows the panes and
|
Chris@394
|
718 layer data in a tree layout. This is very simplistic at the moment.
|
Chris@394
|
719
|
Chris@394
|
720 - Each pane now has an [X] button at its top left, which removes that
|
Chris@394
|
721 pane when clicked.
|
Chris@394
|
722
|
Chris@394
|
723 - There's a new Solo play mode toggle button; when active, only the
|
Chris@394
|
724 currently selected pane is played. This is also the default when
|
Chris@394
|
725 time alignment is in use.
|
Chris@394
|
726
|
Chris@394
|
727 - Rewind/ffwd now stay confined to the selection if Play Selection is
|
Chris@394
|
728 enabled; also, the rewind and ffwd "one step" buttons are now enabled
|
Chris@394
|
729 even if there is no time instants layer for them to align to (they
|
Chris@394
|
730 align to the time ruler instead and so jump in steps of a size
|
Chris@394
|
731 dependent on the zoom level).
|
Chris@394
|
732
|
Chris@394
|
733 - You can now export note layers to MIDI.
|
Chris@394
|
734
|
Chris@394
|
735 - MIDI note velocity is partially supported. Note velocity is
|
Chris@394
|
736 retained when importing and exporting MIDI and is used in playback,
|
Chris@394
|
737 but it is not yet shown in the display and cannot yet be edited.
|
Chris@394
|
738
|
Chris@394
|
739 - You can now drag-and-drop files (of whatever type) onto SV from
|
Chris@394
|
740 other programs such as file managers or web browsers.
|
Chris@394
|
741
|
Chris@394
|
742 - mp3 files (and Ogg, but they aren't supported on Windows at the
|
Chris@394
|
743 moment) are now decoded in a background thread so you can see the
|
Chris@394
|
744 start of the track without waiting for the rest to decode.
|
Chris@394
|
745
|
Chris@394
|
746 - Mac builds of SV can now load AAC/mp4 files and anything else
|
Chris@394
|
747 supported by QuickTime.
|
Chris@394
|
748
|
Chris@394
|
749 - There is now an option to resample audio files on import if they
|
Chris@394
|
750 don't match the samplerate of the first file loaded. By default this
|
Chris@394
|
751 is switched off, as it affects the visible waveform. The default
|
Chris@394
|
752 behaviour is unchanged (play at the wrong rate). There is still no
|
Chris@394
|
753 option to handle multiple rates "correctly" (i.e. by resampling
|
Chris@394
|
754 on playback and showing the waveforms at different resolutions
|
Chris@394
|
755 according to each one's underlying rate) and there probably never
|
Chris@394
|
756 will be.
|
Chris@394
|
757
|
Chris@394
|
758 - SV can now open .m3u playlist files, though it's a hazardous thing
|
Chris@394
|
759 to do as it simply loads all the files in the playlist at once.
|
Chris@394
|
760
|
Chris@394
|
761 - SV now has various options for how to number tapped time instants
|
Chris@394
|
762 (bar/beat, plain counter, time in seconds, tempo etc).
|
Chris@394
|
763
|
Chris@394
|
764 - The official builds use Qt 4.3, which fixes some nasty
|
Chris@394
|
765 bugs in the file dialog that the version 1.0 builds suffered from.
|
Chris@394
|
766
|
Chris@2345
|
767
|
Chris@2345
|
768 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.0 (10 May 2007):
|
Chris@2345
|
769
|
Chris@2345
|
770 - First official release of Sonic Visualiser
