SynFactory
The Interactive Modular Software Synthesizer

Release notes of current and previous versions


Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.17:

   - This version of Synfactory is released under the GNU software licence.
     SynFactory is now free software (see file 'Copying' in the archive for more info).
 

Changes from 1.15 to 1.16rc1:

   - Can load and play 669, DI, MOD (4, 6 and 8 channel), MTM, OKT, STM module files.
   - Fixed detection routine for lame-encoder.
   - Bugfix shift+F1 now works as expected (showing editor help instead of module help).
   - Changed button-bar draw routine, so it correctly handles theme color settings.
     Also made the play controls the same size as the cable-color buttons.
   - New anti-alias algorithm used for Saw-wave in OSC and MOS modules.
   - Config panel controllable with keyboard (TAB and cursorkeys)
   - Interface to SF_DSOUND.DLL for directSound support.
   - Added snap to grid option to edit menu for positioning modules.
   - Joystick has it's own thread, so realtime audio behaviour should be better in situations where joystick used.
   - New modules:
     - Added MODTRK - MOD/MTM/S3M compatible track
   - Additions to modules:
     none
 

Changes from 1.14 to 1.15:

   - New 3d-look for virtual pots and some other graphic cleanups
   - Added helppage which describes the menus
   - Uses doublebuffering to eliminate flashing of the audio scopes
   - Audio settings now moved to a new settings window with more options
   - Position of mainwindow is stored in autoload.syn
   - Basic support for MIDI input added: Control-Change messages and monophonic notes.
   - New modules:
     - Added M-CC1 - Midi input for Control Change messages (Group1)
     - Added M-CC2 - Midi input for Control Change messages (Group2)
     - Added M-NOTE - Midi input for Note messages
     - Added JOYSTICK - Control upto 6 values at the same time with an external joystick.

     - Added SCOPE - 4 channel scope
   - Additions to modules:
     none
 

Changes from 1.13 to 1.14:

Changes from 1.12 to 1.13:

  - Bugfix in TRIG module, one-shot is now turned off when T-Off is 0 or lower.
  - Bugfix in 3, 5 and 7 input logic OR module. Inactive state now defined as 0 not as -32768.
  - Bugfix in save routine. Console-mixer AUX channel settings were
    mixed-up, when saving a patch when one or more AUX-modules were deleted.
  - Bugfix better support for 16 and 256 color VGA displays (prevent dithering).
  - Pause button now works as a toggle switch (pressing again when paused, will unpause playback).

  - Added online help for following modules: AND, OR, XOR, NOT, BIN, Pulsar, DeMux.
  - New modules:
    - Added SCRIPT - Script controlled note player
    - Added BETWEEN - Window comparator
    - Added AHD - Attack/Hold/Decay envelope generator

Changes from 1.11 to 1.12:

  - Bugfix in online help display routine. Sometimes text was placed under scrollbar.

  - Bugfix cloning of DRUM modules now also copies drum pattern matrix.
  - Bugfix copying and pasting of DRM modules will no longer crash SynFactory.
  - Current filename and path is stored between restarts (in autoload.syn).
  - Added about-box.
  - Added online help for following modules: ADD, SyncDelay.

  - Added Cable color selection in Edit-menu (Possible colors are red, green, blue and yellow)
  - Optimisation in main DSP loop saves 15% CPU power.
  - Every RND module (or OSC in Random mode) now has its own noise generator, making the modules independed of each other.
    - Also increased the randomness of the noise source, less artifacts are present in the spectrum.
