|
3
|
Chris@2575
|
4 - Speed up startup, especially on Windows and especially when a lot
|
Chris@2575
|
5 of plugins are installed. Plugins are now scanned after the main
|
Chris@2575

15
|
Chris@2484
|
16 - Add right-click (or Ctrl-click, on the Mac) context menus to the
|
Chris@2484
|
17 layer property tabs, pane zoom controls, and all dial controls,
|
Chris@2484
|
18 providing some basic edit and reset functions
|
Chris@2484
|
19
|
Chris@2484
|
20 - Provide format options when exporting layers to CSV, allowing
|
Chris@2498
|
21 control over column separator, header row, and timestamp format
|
Chris@2484
|
22
|
Chris@2567
|

Chris@2533
|
28
|
Chris@2533
|
29 - Fix truncated image export when exporting from spectrogram view
|
Chris@2533
|
30 that hasn't finished loading when the export is requested
|
Chris@2533
|
31
|
Chris@2498
|
32 - Fix failure to show parameter updates when changing the current
|
Chris@2498
|
33 program in a Vamp plugin that supports programs (e.g. Melodia)
|
Chris@2498
|
34
|
Chris@2502
|
35 - Fix inability of Windows builds to open https:// URLs
|
Chris@2502
|
36
|
Chris@2533
|
37 - Add references to Vamp Plugin Pack in "Find a Transform" results
|
Chris@2533
|
38 for plugins that are not yet installed but are available in pack
|
Chris@2533
|
39
|
Chris@2533
|
40 - Improve and tidy various aspects of OSC support, and update
|
Chris@2533
|
41 documentation for it
|
Chris@2533
|
42
|
Chris@2498
|
43 - Improve performance of peak-frequency spectrogram
|
Chris@2498
|
44
|
Chris@2484
|
45 - Fix missing undo/redo of layer renames
|
Chris@2484
|
46
|
Chris@2533
|
47 - Fix failure to audition effects plugins live, while adjusting their
|
Chris@2533
|
48 parameters in preparation for applying them - this worked in some
|
Chris@2533
|
49 cases, but not the most common ones; it should now work everywhere
|
Chris@2533
|
50
|
Chris@2421
|
51
|
Chris@2430
|
52 Changes in Sonic Visualiser v4.0.1 (10 Dec 2019) since the previous release 4.0:
|
Chris@2421
|
53
|
Chris@2421
|
54 - Fix nonsense vertical scale in NoteLayer when displaying a model
|
Chris@2421
|
55 with non-Hz scale (e.g. from an analysis plugin that outputs MIDI
|
Chris@2421
|
56 note values)
|
Chris@2421
|
57
|
Chris@2421
|
58 - Fix failure to open playback device when using macOS Catalina with
|
Chris@2421
|
59 certain audio devices
|
Chris@2421
|
60
|

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

310 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.4.1 (01 Oct 2014) since the previous release 2.4:
|
Chris@876
|
311
|
Chris@876
|
312 - Fix a crash when rendering certain colour 3d plot layers
|
Chris@716
|
313
|
Chris@1457
|
314
|
Chris@2345
|
315 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 2.4 (01 Sep 2014) since the previous release 2.3:
|
Chris@714
|
316
|
Chris@776
|
317 - Add support for left/right scrolling using a two-finger touchpad
|
Chris@776
|
318 gesture (where available)
|
Chris@776
|
319
|
Chris@716
|
320 - Make the octave numbering into a configurable option, and change
|
Chris@716
|
321 the default. Previously Sonic Visualiser labelled middle-C as "C3";
|
Chris@716
|
322 now it labels middle-C as "C4", a more common standard in the world
|
Chris@776
|
323 outside MIDI sequencer software. The previous system is available
|
Chris@776
|
324 as an option in the Preferences. This affects only the visible
|
Chris@776
|
325 labels: there is no change to analysis or to the file format
|
Chris@714
|
326
|
Chris@714
|
327 - Sonify time-value layers. Any time-value curve whose scale unit is
|
Chris@714
|
328 set to Hz will now acquire a playback toggle control; this control
|
Chris@714
|
329 is off by default, but if it is switched on, the curve will be
|
Chris@714
|
330 played back using a variable-frequency sound generator
|
Chris@714
|
331
|
Chris@714
|
332 - Add support for playback of note layers with non-MIDI frequencies
|
Chris@714
|
333 (formerly the note playback was limited to exact MIDI pitch)
|
Chris@714
|
334
|
Chris@714
|
335 - Change the default playback sample for note layers from piano to an
|
Chris@714
|
336 electric piano with sustain. The piano sample is still available,
|
Chris@714
|
337 and any sessions saved using it should continue to use it
|
Chris@714
|
338
|
Chris@867
|
339 - Add a cancel button for Vamp plugin processing: currently,
|
Chris@867
|
340 cancelling a transform results in a part-complete layer rather than
|
Chris@867
|
341 removing the results
|
Chris@867
|
342
|
Chris@790
|
343 - Add keyboard shortcuts to cycle the current layer (in addition to
|
Chris@790
|
344 the existing ones to cycle the current pane)
|
Chris@790
|
345
|
Chris@790
|
346 - Fix various bugs related to layer ordering: layer tabs re-ordering
|
Chris@790
|
347 themselves randomly when new layer added, layers being ordered
|
Chris@791
|
348 randomly when saving and reloading a session
|
Chris@790
|
349
|
Chris@848
|
350 - Fix incorrect interaction with non-Unicode usernames when creating
|
Chris@848
|
351 temporary and template directories on Windows
|
Chris@848
|
352
|
Chris@714
|
353 - Shade the start and end of the main audio file, to make them easier
|
Chris@714
|
354 to see for files that start or end in silence
|
Chris@714
|
355
|
Chris@714
|
356 - Speed up rendering and scrolling in time-value layers
|
Chris@714
|
357
|
Chris@714
|
358 - Make it possible to import CSV files directly into Note layers by
|
Chris@714
|
359 adding Pitch as a data type in the CSV file import dialog
|
Chris@675
|
360
|
Chris@856
|
361 - Fix play pointer jump to wrong frame when clicking on row in the
|
Chris@856
|
362 layer edit dialog
|
Chris@856
|
363
|
Chris@848
|
364 - Fix problems with keyboard shortcuts when using Qt5 on OS/X. This
|
Chris@848
|
365 is the first release in which the official builds use Qt5 for all
|
Chris@848
|
366 platforms.
|

|
374 - Add "Export Audio Data" feature
|
Chris@675
|
375
|
Chris@675
|
376 - Show piano keyboard scale in note and time-value layers as well
|
Chris@675
|
377 as spectrogram, where vertical scale is log Hz; also show
|
Chris@675
|
378 numerical scale in note and region layers when not auto-aligned
|
Chris@675
|
379
|
Chris@675
|
380 - Speed up CSV file import and avoid showing crazily wide window

|
Chris@608
|
400 via libsndfile
|
Chris@675
|
401
|
Chris@608
|

Chris@512
|
435 - Simplify RDF reading and fix some bugs. Now requires Dataquay
|
Chris@512
|
436 (http://breakfastquay.com/dataquay/) rather than using Redland
|
Chris@512
|
437 directly. Release builds use Sord/Serd rather than Redland
|
Chris@512
|
438
|
Chris@512
|
439 - Add a fullscreen mode on the F11 key
|
Chris@471
|

|
Chris@2345
|
442 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.9 (10 Oct 2011) since the previous release 1.8:
|
Chris@471
|
443
|
Chris@471
|
444 - Add session templates; save session as template; apply template to
|
Chris@471
|

Chris@471
|
450 - Various bug fixes.

|
Chris@394
|
454
|
Chris@394
|
455 - Sonic Visualiser now registers as a file type handler on OS/X,
|
Chris@394

Chris@394
|
457
|
Chris@394

Chris@394
|
473 - The layer-add menu functions now have shortcuts (Dan Stowell)

Chris@394
|
474
|
Chris@394
|
475 - The codebase has been reorganised into libraries and a configure
|
Chris@394
|
476 step added. It should be easier to build and maintain on OS/X and
|
Chris@394
|
477 Linux than previously, although it won't make much difference on
|
Chris@394
|
478 Windows.
|
Chris@394
|
479
|
Chris@397
|
480 - A Czech translation is now included (thanks to Pavel Fric).

|
Chris@2345
|
483 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.7.2 (05 May 2010) since the previous release 1.7.1:
|
Chris@394
|
484
|
Chris@394
|
485 - The time-value layer now has an origin line and an option to
|
Chris@394
|
486 show derivatives (change from one point to the next) rather than
|
Chris@394
|
487 raw values
|
Chris@394
|
488
|
Chris@394
|
489 - A static initialiser race has been fixed, possibly fixing an
|
Chris@394
|
490 occasional crash on startup in Windows
|
Chris@394

|
Chris@394
|
497
|
Chris@394
|
498 - The RDF importer does a better job of assigning labels to layers,
|
Chris@394
|
499 layers to panes, and values to labelled regions
|
Chris@394
|
500
|
Chris@394
|
501 - Interactive editing in the Text layer benefits from the same
|
Chris@394
|
502 improvements as made in 1.7 to Note and Region layers
|
Chris@394
|
503
|
Chris@394
|
504 - The layer data editor window has a text search feature
|
Chris@394
|
505
|
Chris@394
|
506 - The main window status bar now shows the last label to have passed

|
Chris@394
|
508 status bar
|
Chris@394
|
509
|
Chris@394
|
510 - The Russian translation has been updated (thanks Alexandre)

|
518
|
Chris@394

|
520 now works much more smoothly
|
Chris@394
|
521
|
Chris@394
|
522 - SV can now import MIDI files that use SMPTE timecode for event
|
Chris@394
|
523 timing (importing MIDI files using with the more common
|
Chris@394
|
524 timebase-based timing was already supported)
|
Chris@394
|
525
|
Chris@394
|
526 - Time values throughout the display may optionally be shown in
|
Chris@394
|
527 seconds and frames at various frame rates
|
Chris@1520
|
528
|
Chris@394
|
529 - A crash on exit in Windows has been fixed
|
Chris@394
|
530
|

|
531 - A very unobtrusive user survey is now included
|
Chris@394
|
532
|
Chris@394
|
533 - Various other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
534
|

535
|

Chris@394
|
537
|
Chris@394
|
538 - The Colour 3D Plot layer now supports logarithmic vertical
|
Chris@394
|
539 scale and linear interpolation options.
|
Chris@394
|
540
|
Chris@394
|
541 - A new colour scheme (High Gain) has been added for spectrogram
|
Chris@394
|
542 and Colour 3D Plot, which improves readability for some data.
|
Chris@394
|
543
|
Chris@394
|
544 - Further performance improvements have been made to Colour 3D
|
Chris@394
|
545 Plot.
|
Chris@394
|
546
|
Chris@394
|

Chris@675
|
549
|
Chris@2345
|
550 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.5 (16 Mar 2009) since the previous release 1.4:
|
Chris@394
|
551
|
Chris@394
|
552 - You can now insert time instants, time values, and notes using
|
Chris@394
|
553 a MIDI device during playback. If a time value or note layer is
|
Chris@394
|
554 current it will be used for insertion (giving a value equal to
|
Chris@394
|
555 the pitch class, or the played note, respectively); otherwise an
|
Chris@394
|
556 existing or new time instants layer will be used just as it is
|
Chris@394
|
557 when inserting instants using the PC keyboard. Using a MIDI
|
Chris@394
|
558 device should give better timing than using the PC keyboard.
|
Chris@394
|
559
|
Chris@394
|
560 - There is a new Activity Log window with a (purely informative) list
|
Chris@394
|
561 of events and user interactions that happen while SV is running.
|
Chris@394
|
562
|
Chris@394
|
563 - The spectrogram has somewhat improved graphical scaling, and
|
Chris@394
|
564 this is now the default (being much faster than the 4x oversampled
|
Chris@394
|
565 method). The previous default is still available as a preference.
|
Chris@394
|
566
|
Chris@394
|
567 - Visualisation of very dense colour plots (such as spectrograms
|
Chris@394
|
568 calculated by plugins) is substantially faster in this release.
|
Chris@394
|
569
|
Chris@394
|
570 - Spectrogram display is now faster in many circumstances.
|
Chris@394
|
571
|
Chris@394
|
572 - Alignment using the MATCH plugin is faster on OS/X than before.
|
Chris@394
|
573
|
Chris@394
|
574 - SV will take into account RDF plugin descriptions, if available,
|
Chris@394
|
575 in order to make somewhat better decisions about display of plugin
|
Chris@394
|
576 outputs (for example, placing segmentation data into a layer with
|
Chris@394
|
577 segmentation plot type).
|
Chris@394
|
578
|
Chris@394
|
579 - You can now switch layers by clicking on the spare area at the left
|
Chris@394
|
580 end of the pane that is also used for the current pane indicator.
|
Chris@394
|
581
|
Chris@394
|
582 - The vertical black lines dividing segments in the time value
|
Chris@394
|
583 layer's segmentation plot style are now optional.
|
Chris@394
|
584
|
Chris@394
|
585 - Several widget layout bugs on OS/X have been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
586
|
Chris@394
|
587 - Several serious crashing, deadlock, and data corruption bugs have
|
Chris@394
|
588 been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
589
|
Chris@394
|
590
|
Chris@2345
|
591 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.4 (05 Dec 2008) since the previous release 1.3:
|
Chris@394
|
592
|
Chris@394
|
593 - SV now has a Region layer type, used for display of features with
|
Chris@394
|
594 durations. It also supports Vamp v2.0 plugins that provide durations
|
Chris@394
|
595 for features.
|
Chris@394
|
596
|
Chris@394
|
597 - Layer data can now be imported from RDF described using the Audio
|
Chris@394
|
598 Features Ontology, as well as from the existing text file types. SV
|
Chris@394
|
599 can also export annotation layer data to RDF/Turtle, although in a
|
Chris@394
|
600 somewhat simplistic manner at present.
|
Chris@394
|
601
|
Chris@394
|
602 - You can search for transforms by text in the new "Find a Transform"
|

603 dialog. This searches both installed plugins, and plugins that have
|
Chris@394
|
604 not been installed but that have descriptions available on the
|
Chris@394
|
605 semantic web.
|
Chris@394
|
606
|
Chris@394
|
607 - You can now zoom and scroll vertically in the time-value, note,
|
Chris@394
|
608 and colour 3d plot layers.
|
Chris@394
|
609
|
Chris@394
|
610 - Sonic Visualiser can now load sessions from uncompressed XML files
|
Chris@394
|
611 as well as its own compressed-XML .sv format. Files with extension
|
Chris@394
|
612 .xml that contain suitable session data will be loaded as sessions.
|
Chris@394
|
613 Note that .xml extension files still do not show up in the default
|
Chris@394
|
614 file load filter. This is intentional, as there may be any kind of
|
Chris@394
|
615 data in them -- if you want to load uncompressed session files from
|
Chris@394
|
616 XML, you need to know you're doing it.
|
Chris@394
|
617
|
Chris@394
|
618 - Several crashes and other bugs have been fixed.

621 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.3 (10 Jul 2008) since the previous release 1.2:
|
Chris@394
|
622
|
Chris@394
|
623 - There is a new spreadsheet-style data viewer and editor for
|
Chris@394
|
624 viewing and editing the data in some types of annotation layer.
|
Chris@394
|
625
|
Chris@394
|
626 - Alignments are now saved to the session file.
|
Chris@394
|
627
|
Chris@394
|
628 - The spectrogram layer is usually somewhat faster than it was.
|
Chris@394
|
629
|
Chris@394
|
630 - You can now hold Shift while dragging to move an item, in order
|
Chris@394
|
631 to override the initial drag resistance introduced in 1.2.
|
Chris@394
|
632
|
Chris@394
|
633 - The gross mis-labelling of time lines in the ruler has been fixed.
|
Chris@394
|
634
|
Chris@394
|
635 - There is a new, somewhat provisional PulseAudio output driver.
|
Chris@394
|
636
|
Chris@394
|
637 - Several other bug fixes.
|
Chris@394
|
638
|
Chris@675
|
639
|
Chris@2345
|
640 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.2 (20 Feb 2008) since the previous release 1.0:
|
Chris@394
|
641
|
Chris@394
|
642 - SV now supports time-alignment of multiple performances of a work
|
Chris@394
|
643 loaded at the same time. This option is enabled when the MATCH Vamp
|
Chris@394
|
644 plugin is installed. When alignment is switched on and more than one
|
Chris@394
|
645 audio file is open, SV will assume that all open files are
|
Chris@394
|
646 differently timed performances of the same work, and will calculate
|
Chris@394
|
647 time alignments for them. Playback will then play only a single file
|
Chris@394
|
648 at a time, and the playback cursors in other files will track at the
|
Chris@394
|
649 varying speeds to try to ensure that each is at the same point in the
|
Chris@394
|
650 underlying score. This enables effective comparison of several such
|
Chris@394
|
651 files, as well as a meaningful way to switch from one performance to
|
Chris@394
|
652 another during playback (ensuring that the switch happens at the
|
Chris@394
|
653 correct point in the performance being switched to).
|
Chris@394
|
654
|
Chris@394
|
655 - There is a new Image layer, which can display images from the
|
Chris@394
|
656 local filesystem or retrieved via HTTP or FTP.
|
Chris@394
|
657
|
Chris@394
|
658 - A new measurement tool has been added. With the measurement tool
|
Chris@394
|
659 selected, dragging in a pane draws a rectangle labelled with the
|
Chris@394
|
660 scale values for its start and end corners and its size. You can
|
Chris@394
|
661 have any number of measurements present at once; they are associated
|
Chris@394
|
662 with the top layer, their scale values depend on the scale for that
|
Chris@394
|
663 layer, and they are only shown when that layer is at the top and the
|
Chris@394
|
664 measurement tool is active. Measurements are saved and reloaded in
|
Chris@394
|
665 the session file. Drawing measurements can be undone and redone, and
|
Chris@394
|
666 a measurement can be deleted by hitting Del when highlighted. Note
|
Chris@394
|
667 that the measurement tool shows the scale values associated with the
|
Chris@394
|
668 pixel positions of the mouse when dragging, not any values associated
|
Chris@394
|
669 with actual features present in the audio or its analysis (e.g. the
|
Chris@394
|
670 values are not rounded to the nearest spectrogram bin).
|
Chris@394
|
671
|
Chris@394
|
672 - You can double-click using the measurement tool in the spectrogram
|
Chris@394
|
673 to get an instant measurement rectangle for a feature. This is a
|
Chris@394
|
674 purely graphical feature that works by calculating the boundary of a
|
Chris@394
|
675 contiguous region of pixels "similar to" the one you double-clicked
|
Chris@394
|
676 on; it does not use audio analysis. Adjusting the gain and colour
|
Chris@394
|
677 scheme etc of the spectrogram will (by design) affect the
|
Chris@394
|
678 measurements obtained this way.
|
Chris@394
|
679
|
Chris@394
|
680 - The spectrum can now optionally show frequency estimates of peaks
|
Chris@394
|
681 aligned with a piano keyboard along the horizontal axis (this needs
|
Chris@394
|
682 some refinement).
|
Chris@394
|
683
|
Chris@394
|
684 - The harmonic cursor in the spectrogram has moved from the Select
|
Chris@394
|
685 tool to the Measurement tool. There is now a similar harmonic cursor
|
Chris@394
|
686 in the spectrum. Both of them show more information as text
|
Chris@394
|
687 alongside the cursor than previously.
|
Chris@394
|
688
|
Chris@394
|
689 - There is a new Erase tool for erasing individual points from an
|
Chris@394
|
690 editable layer.
|
Chris@394
|
691
|
Chris@394
|
692 - Several keyboard shortcuts have changed -- all of the Alt+key
|
Chris@394
|
693 shortcuts now either use Ctrl or a plain keypress with no modifier,
|
Chris@394
|
694 to avoid clashes with window manager shortcuts and to make them
|
Chris@394
|
695 easier to use and remember
|
Chris@394
|
696
|
Chris@394
|
697 - The playback controls are now in a Playback menu as well as the
|
Chris@394
|
698 toolbar.
|
Chris@394
|
699
|
Chris@394
|
700 - There is a new key and mouse control reference under Help (or press
|
Chris@394
|
701 F2).
|
Chris@394
|
702
|
Chris@394
|
703 - You can double-click on a pane in navigate mode to jump to a time.
|
Chris@394
|
704
|
Chris@394
|
705 - All of the single-colour layers (waveform, time values etc) now
|
Chris@394
|
706 allow you to define your own colours as well as using the built-in
|
Chris@394
|
707 set. The colour of a layer is now shown next to its name on the pane.
|
Chris@394
|
708
|
Chris@394
|
709 - When you add a new single-colour layer it will use a default colour
|
Chris@394
|
710 that is not yet in use in another layer (if there is one).
|
Chris@394
|
711
|
Chris@394
|
712 - Single-colour layers can now optionally have black backgrounds (with
|
Chris@394
|
713 a set of lighter colours in the default colour palette that use black
|
Chris@394
|
714 backgrounds by default).
|
Chris@394
|
715
|
Chris@394
|
716 - There's a new Printer colour scheme in the spectrogram with only a
|
Chris@394
|
717 small number of grey shades.
|
Chris@394
|
718
|
Chris@394
|
719 - Vertical zoom in a log-scaled spectrogram is much more intuitive;
|
Chris@394
|
720 it now leaves the point that was in the centre of the visible area in
|
Chris@394
|
721 the centre after zoom, instead of the point that was in the centre of
|
Chris@394
|
722 the linear range corresponding to the visible area.
|
Chris@394
|
723
|
Chris@394
|
724 - You can now turn a colour 3d plot layer upside down by clicking the
|
Chris@394
|
725 Invert Vertical Scale button.
|
Chris@394
|
726
|
Chris@394
|
727 - There's a new Layer Summary window which shows the panes and
|
Chris@394
|
728 layer data in a tree layout. This is very simplistic at the moment.
|
Chris@394
|
729
|
Chris@394
|
730 - Each pane now has an [X] button at its top left, which removes that
|
Chris@394
|
731 pane when clicked.
|
Chris@394
|
732
|
Chris@394
|
733 - There's a new Solo play mode toggle button; when active, only the
|
Chris@394
|
734 currently selected pane is played. This is also the default when
|
Chris@394
|
735 time alignment is in use.
|
Chris@394
|
736
|
Chris@394
|
737 - Rewind/ffwd now stay confined to the selection if Play Selection is
|
Chris@394
|
738 enabled; also, the rewind and ffwd "one step" buttons are now enabled
|
Chris@394
|
739 even if there is no time instants layer for them to align to (they
|
Chris@394
|
740 align to the time ruler instead and so jump in steps of a size
|
Chris@394
|
741 dependent on the zoom level).
|
Chris@394
|
742
|
Chris@394
|
743 - You can now export note layers to MIDI.
|
Chris@394
|
744
|
Chris@394
|
745 - MIDI note velocity is partially supported. Note velocity is
|
Chris@394
|
746 retained when importing and exporting MIDI and is used in playback,
|
Chris@394
|
747 but it is not yet shown in the display and cannot yet be edited.
|
Chris@394
|
748
|
Chris@394
|
749 - You can now drag-and-drop files (of whatever type) onto SV from
|
Chris@394
|
750 other programs such as file managers or web browsers.
|
Chris@394
|
751
|
Chris@394
|
752 - mp3 files (and Ogg, but they aren't supported on Windows at the
|
Chris@394
|
753 moment) are now decoded in a background thread so you can see the
|
Chris@394
|
754 start of the track without waiting for the rest to decode.
|
Chris@394
|
755
|
Chris@394
|
756 - Mac builds of SV can now load AAC/mp4 files and anything else
|
Chris@394
|
757 supported by QuickTime.
|
Chris@394
|
758
|
Chris@394
|
759 - There is now an option to resample audio files on import if they
|
Chris@394
|
760 don't match the samplerate of the first file loaded. By default this
|
Chris@394
|
761 is switched off, as it affects the visible waveform. The default
|
Chris@394
|
762 behaviour is unchanged (play at the wrong rate). There is still no
|
Chris@394
|
763 option to handle multiple rates "correctly" (i.e. by resampling
|
Chris@394
|
764 on playback and showing the waveforms at different resolutions
|
Chris@394
|
765 according to each one's underlying rate) and there probably never
|
Chris@394
|
766 will be.
|
Chris@394
|
767
|
Chris@394
|
768 - SV can now open .m3u playlist files, though it's a hazardous thing
|
Chris@394
|
769 to do as it simply loads all the files in the playlist at once.
|
Chris@394
|
770
|
Chris@394
|
771 - SV now has various options for how to number tapped time instants
|
Chris@394
|
772 (bar/beat, plain counter, time in seconds, tempo etc).
|
Chris@394
|
773
|
Chris@394
|
774 - The official builds use Qt 4.3, which fixes some nasty
|
Chris@394
|
775 bugs in the file dialog that the version 1.0 builds suffered from.
|
Chris@394
|
776
|
Chris@2345
|
777
|
Chris@2345
|
778 Changes in Sonic Visualiser 1.0 (10 May 2007):
|
Chris@2345
|
779
|
Chris@2345
|
780 - First official release of Sonic Visualiser
