May 3rd, 2012Bug fixes:
· When using “Relative to disk” paths for folders (in Options, Files and Folder), SynthFont would not always find the correct path
· The Mixer sliders went missing for some MIDI files
· When two or more controller values for the same controller coincided, SynthFont would make proper use of the first one only
· Fixed most other reported exception bugs
February 6th, 2012Bug fixes:
· Since version 1.610 an exception occurred when activating Live Midi Input a second time if you did not have an arrangement loaded
· Since a few versions back, SynthFont would incorrectly attach the file extensions ‘.mid’ instead of ‘.wav’ to output files when writing a playlist to files and not using any compression mode; thus possibly overwriting the original midi file
· Version 1.611 introduced support for reading Unicode text from midi files. Writing of Unicode as ANSI did not succeed, however. Thus the text was lost.
January 19th, 2012Bug fixes:
· Since version 1.600, changing the language using the Language menu item in the main toolbar did not change the language permanently
· SFZ file support was still lacking
· SynthFont Version "1" does not support multiple time signatures. From now on the last time signature defined before any notes will be used instead of the very last one defined in the file (which may be in the last bar...)
· Plus a number of other minor flaws.
Interface:
· Changed keyboard shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+H is now "Show keyboard shortcuts" while Ctrl+H is still "Set default SoundFont file"
Fetaures:
· You can now change SoundFonts while playing (and not only Presets)
· The Live MIDI Input playback mode has been enhanced: you can now assign VST Instruments and Effects and change SoundFonts and Presets, while active. Additionally the settings are retained while switching Input ON/OFF. You can furthermore save a special arrangement which can be used for this mode only, as it does not require a MIDI file. See main menu “File” item “Save Arrangement for MIDI Input mode...”.
· The SoundFont Presets dialog has a new option “Lock when playing live from MIDI input”. Check this to prevent MIDI program events from changing the Preset in Live MIDI Input playback mode
· The VST instruments dropdown menu (“VSTI” button in tracks header) has a new item: “Remove instrument from track” to quickly remove the VST instrument assigned to the track and restore the SoundFont previously used.
· In the VST editor window, the button “Lock” has a dropdown item: “Lock to MIDI channel 0”. Use this if the VST instrument accepts midi channel 0 data only (like Clavia Lab).
· In the VST editor window, there is a new button “Reset”, most useful for VST instruments. Use it to switch off the instrument of it continues to play notes even after the tune has ended
· SynthFont now keeps in memory VST Instruments and Effects when another Arrangement is loaded - if they are used in the other Arrangement - to speed up the loading of these
· Previously notes were ended abruptly when the note release envelope reached a lower limit. In most cases this was acceptable, but not if the number of notes playing was small. SynthFont now adds a short damping tail to the end to make it smoother.
· When playing to external MIDI devices through MIDI ports, SynthFont sends MIDI reset commands before, and after, playing.
· When using SFZ files, SynthFont can now automatically extract the required WAV files from OGG files (provided that the OggVorbis libraries OGG.DLL and VorbisFile.DLL are present). You can delete the OGG files when extracted.
January 19th, 2012· In version 1.604, the SoundFont Presets list displayed when pressing the “SF2 Presets” button above the tracks did display the MIDI Programs and not the SoundFont Presets
· Since version 1.603, when playing, the song length was sometimes incorrectly calculated - twice as long - making SynthFont stall when reaching 50%
January 19th, 2012Bug fixes:
· The SoundFont Presets list displayed when pressing the “SF2 Presets” button above the tracks was screwed up
· File dialog boxes did not display correctly
January 19th, 2012Bug fixes:
· Volume and BPM Automations did not work since some time back.
· The Automations were not always saved to the arrangement file.
· When you deleted the last track layer, the last midi track was also deleted.
· For a layer track with multiple MIDI program changes, you could not select each program separately to change SoundFont and/or Preset
· You could not change the midi channel of a layer track (now you can use Slot 2)
· Some Dynamic Data Exchange functions did not work after update to Unicode support
· Using Delete button to delete a note in the Pianoroll could cause an exception
· When calculating the length of the tune initially, the extra decay time was not taken into account
· It was impossible to locate new VST folders to be added
· Many edit boxes with Up/Down buttons did not work well
· Many other minor bugs, flaws, shortcomings, annoyances and gotchas fixed.
New features:
· You can now define in Setup / “Files and Folders “ which Configuration file you want to use.
Other:
· The “MIDI Program” button in “Pug & Play” now again displays the available MIDI programs as a menu instead of as dialog window with a list.
· Improved looping of the tune when the stop position was not defined
January 19th, 2012· In version 1.601, layer tracks were not correctly read from the Arrangement (due to the fix for Audio file tracks)
January 19th, 2012· The standard Delphi 2010 TUpDown controller has a bug making it virtually useless. This is now replaced by another UpDown controller
· Audio file tracks were not correctly read from the Arrangement
· The Unicode support introduced with Delphi 2010 caused the Dynamic Data Exchange functions not to work
· Some other minor bugs, flaws and irregularities fixed
October 7th, 2011Bug fixes:
· A large number of reported bugs, flaws and irregularities fixed.
Other:
· All versions since 1.558 may have caused the anti-virus software Avast to think that SynthFont was potentially dangerous and suggested to run it in a sandbox. This was due to the new version of the Eurekalog exception report system introduced. This system has now been replaced with the JEDI debug system
· Added “.rmi” to the list of known MIDI file extensions
· Version 1.600 is compiled with Delphi version 2010, which has full support for Unicode
July 9th, 2011Bug fixes:
· When a VST instrument was assigned to a track - any track - it was also assigned to the first track -the tempo track - causing SynthFont to send tempo changes to the VST instrument and not using them internally.
· Since version 1.553 track names were not always correctly read from a midi file
· Some VST instrument problems introduced by the Delphi 11(2007) compiler has been fixed
· Pressing the go forward button (for bar movement) repeatedly quickly could make SynthFont jump to the beginning of the song (also see below).
New features:
· You can keep the go forward or backward buttons down to repeatedly go forward/backward one (or ten bars, with CTRL key pressed)
· When SynthFont detects bad notes (note ON event with missing note OFF event) it will now give you more options for what to do with the note.
May 10th, 2011· In the process of moving from the Delphi 7(2002) compiler to Delphi 11(2007) a few odd things happened, for instance, some string lists very emptied. For example the Small Buffer size list in Setup, which is used to set the buffer size when playing live and not using ASIO, was nullified, with adverse side effects, of course. Version 1.560 tries to fix all these (minor) issues.
May 6th, 2011· Some VST effects and instruments were not accepted by Version 1.558
May 5th, 2011Bug fixes:
· SynthFont did occasionally not send Midi Program Change messages on to a VST instrument as it might have been flagged as “Locked” (i.e. not General Midi compatible), although the “Locked” button in the VST instrument editor was not pressed
· When assigning a VST instrument to several tracks at once, SynthFont did (since version 1.500) assign different instances to each track. Before version 1.500 the same single instance was assigned
· The Delete key did not delete selected notes in the Pianoroll
· Some GIGA and DLS files were not correctly interpreted
Other:
· Replaced unmodified shortcut keys with modified ones, mostly using Shift+Ctrl as modifier (see file ShortKeys.txt)
· SynthFont had problems with midi files in which there were Midi Program Change messages for a particular channel spread over many tracks. SynthFont now moves all Program Changes to the track with the corresponding notes.
April 15th, 2011· Since version 1.552 some notes have tended to remain playing after note-off although they were mostly silent already and did not contribute anything. This caused the polyphony to rise and the system to slow down
· Master Fine and Coarse Tuning did not always work
· The two latest versions have often experienced a not fatal exception at start-up
· Exclusive Class for percussions did not work when short-cutting of overlapping notes was switched off
· A large number of other minor bugs fixed
March 22nd, 2011· Bug fixes
· Versions 1.554 and 1.555 had a bug causing it to draw the Pianoroll badly when the Grid Size was set to more than 1. Additionally the “Show Scale” checkbox in “Key Signature and Melodic Scale” did not work (notes were not grayed)
· Some midi files were not correctly read
· Keys used as shortcuts could not be used to navigate to files in the Explorer list
· After editing and saving a SoundFont group file in use by a track, the track presets were not updated
· The playback position in the Pianoroll did not respond to a user change of the BPM factor (in “Plug & Play”)
Other:
· The shortcut key for pause/resume playback used to be “W” or “Pause/Break”. It is now only “Pause/Break”
March 7th, 2011Bug fixes:
· Version 1.554 had a nasty bug causing it to throw an exception at start-up when the Setup dialog was initially displayed. Function has been removed.
· The Scale Tuning feature for various temperaments has been broken since a few versions back.
March 2nd, 2011· If SynthFont cannot save the update file in the folder chosen for temporary files, SynthFont now tries to use another folder
· SynthFont could not read midi files created from Tyros style files
· SynthFont could not restore a VST instrument in an Arrangement file if the path contained parenthesis symbols “(” and/or “)”
· Since version 1.530 SynthFont may have decided to assign the SPDIF audio output as the default although not originally set so, resulting in no sound output
· Since version 1.540, you could not assign a SoundFont to a track in Live Midi Input mode
· Pitch Wheel range was not always correctly set from the Continuous Controllers
· Fixed a number of other reported bugs
February 23rd, 2011· Fixed a minor but annoying bug that could prevent some midi type 0 files to be correctly read
February 23rd, 2011· In version 1.520 (November 2010) an attempt was made to make the note release decay curve match the decay curve of my Creative Live! audio card. The curve became too steep. It is now correct. Sorry
· Fixed a number of other reported bugs, for example problems with Pitch Wheel range settings and loops
· Slightly improved SFZ file support
· CPU load meter did not work on Windows 2000 (since version 1.522)
· In the virtual keyboard, the option to define the key velocity by using the mouse wheel did not always work
February 8th, 2011· Bug fixes
· The new Explorer control did not always behave as expected
· Some shortcut keys, like space bar for playing, were inactivated
· Exception reports never reached the SynthFont bug report server
· Plus a number of minor flaws and annoyances fixed
· When minimizing to the Notification Area, the tread priority was set too low
New features:
· In the virtual keyboard you now have the option to define the key velocity either by the vertical position of the mouse pointer (default) or by using the mouse wheel. To select method, use the right mouse button to pop up a menu with a new item called "Options".
· In the toolbar of the Explorer files list there is a new button with traffic lights. Check to have SynthFont play the tune immediately after loading it (you must double-click to load it).
· Also see the Autoplay checkbox in the “Play options” box at the top-right corner Files/Folders window.
February 1st, 2011Bug fixes:
· When selecting the German language, some additional File Open or Save dialog options where not visible (for instance settings for writing compressed audio files)
· A number of bugs fixed … again
New features:
· When playing to various compressed file formats (MP3, OGG, FLAC, APE; WMA), SynthFont now writes the compressed files directly, avoiding the initial creation of uncompressed WAV files. Additionally, also 24 bit and 32 bit files are allowed when using FLAC or APE.
· The Explorer in “Files / Folders” is now Windows 7 compatible (supports Libraries)
· New localization language: Italian, thanks to Andrea Bevilacqua.
· A new checkbox in the “Default SoundFont Override” dialog: “Disable all overrides”. Check to temporarily disable all overrides (NOTE: state is not saved between sessions). Additionally, when importing a set of overrides from a file, all existing overrides are removed at first.
· The behavior of the solo play button in the Pianoroll has been extended so that you can change state also while playing
January 5th, 2011· Bug fixes
· The Live Midi Input Mode was broken in version 1.530
· Fixed some issues related to the Default SoundFont Override functionality
· Fixed some other minor bugs and irregularities
New features:
· Added the midi file extension “.midi” to the list of known files (as an alternative to the old “.mid” extension)
· Added a function to display which notes belong to a certain scale in Pianoroll. Fully available to registered users only
December 21st, 2010Bug fixes:
· Since version 1.500, the loudness level has been twice as high as before. Fixed.
· Since version 1.520, SynthFont 1.520 could not exit if closed while playing
· SynthFont might cause an exception when closing after playing on the virtual keyboard
· In Plug&Play, the VST effect “Bypass All” button worked the wrong way around
· The Sound File Manager would not scan sub-folders initially when adding a new folder to the list
· Fixed the routine for reading GIGA files
New features:
· In Pianoroll you can now copy notes to Windows Clipboard, in text format. The data can be pasted into e.g. Notepad, edited, copied to the Clipboard and pasted back to SynthFont at a later time.
· The virtual keyboard: in most cases where the virtual keyboard is displayed (e.g. in the Sound File Manager) you can use keys A,W,S,E,D,F,T,G,Y,H,U,J,K,O,L,P on the PC’s keyboard to play notes, and keys 1-9 to switch octave. Use right mouse button for a popup menu.
· New implementation of Legato. While Legato is switched ON, a note will be coupled to the next note of the same value if closer than the length of a 1/32 note. Unlike Pedal Hold, Legato will have no effect on the length of one single note or notes separated by more than 1/32. Between Legato coupled notes, no interruption will be heard, even if “Cut Notes Short” for handling of overlapping notes in Setup is turned on.
· Some more items in the context sensitive menu (right click) for the Pianoroll.
· Limited support for SFZ-files (“SoundFez” files). NOTE: OggVorbis samples are not supported but must at first be converted to WAV samples. The SFZ-file itself does not need to be changed.
· Support for MIDI Format 2 files. These files have several independent sequences in as many tracks. SynthFont expands each sequence into as many tracks as there are midi channels and loads the sequences in sequential order with appropriate location markers.
November 30th, 2010· Bug fixes
· SynthFont 1.520 might hang at the end of a song when playing with VST instruments.
· For DLS-files, the Envelope Sustain level was not always correctly interpreted.
· The Controllers graph did not always update correctly in version 1.520
· For a track layer, the SoundFont was not always display in the tracks list (showed “N/A”)

New features:
· In the Pianoroll, when using the eraser to eras note you previous had to move over the note, now it is enough to click on it.
· In the Pianoroll, under the list with tracks, there is a new Solo button. Press to play the selected track only when playing.
· When creating a new midi file you were previously asked to save it at the same time. This no longer happens.
November 23rd, 2010Bug fixes:
· In Pianoroll, “Edit track”, “Change time (position) of events”, the limits were wrong when using “Move events BELOW the limit” or “Move events ABOVE the limit”
· Setting the velocity to 0 for a note actually deletes the note. Now you can not set it to lower than 1.
· The velocity of a note when using the virtual keyboard to play, is determined by the vertical position of the mouse pointer on the key. This value was incorrectly computed for black keys.
· Fixed a larger number of crash report bugs!
New feature:
· In Pianoroll, when moving over the lines, a hint window will display the key number and note. Use the context menu (right mouse button) to hide/show this message.
October 28th, 2010Bug fixes:
· SynthFont lost the path to it's program folder (where for instance all encoder libraries are)
· Fixed a larger number of bugs!
New features:
· Sound File Manager - scan through all of your folders with SoundFonts (or *.GIG, *.DLS, *.PAT files) and listen to and compare Presets. Use Ctrl+W or the new button in the tracks list header or a menu item to display this tool.
· In the Extended mixer the behavior of the up/down spin button has changed. Normal spin is no with larger increments. Hold CTRL key down to spin in smaller steps.
October 15th, 2010Bug fixes:
· A SoundFont Override was not correctly defined when preset was different from default
· SynthFont did not send Program Changed message to a midi out port

Others:
· Localization function does not work on Windows 98
· A read-only midi file can no longer be saved to
June 11th, 2010Bug fixes:
· Version 1.412 did not save the Left and Right volume levels correctly in the arrangement
· Version 1.412 would reset the SoundFont choice to default when editing the midi file
· Pan Spread Defaults function didn't work (problem with Balance vs. Pan)
· Velocity Dynamics has been wrongly displayed with velocity response slopes in the range 1 through 6 while the correct range should have been 0 through 5, where 0 - 1 means a velocity response less than unity
· Since version 1.410, the Mixer Track Volume could be reset to 1.0 on some occasions

· Pianoroll, "Draw note", a new checkbox: "Insert new note when moving notes and clicking on an empty space". Uncheck if you find this function awkward
· Still improved handling of overlapping notes together with missing note-off events
· Changed the Playback volume levels display; the display leaves a track of the peak level
· For playing live, without ASIO, you can now select to use up to 10 buffers to avoid stuttering (but get increased latency instead...)
· The Volume Offset in SoundFont Overrides no longer changes the Mixer Track Volume but has its own parameter
· The Bank Manager no longer lets you select "Either fine or coarse" bank selection controller. You must select "Bank Coarse (CC 0)" or "Bank Fine (CC 32)"
