+ OpenMPT 1.18 - Release Notes
+ </h1>
+
+ <p>
+ OpenMPT has changed a lot since the last official release (version 1.17.02.54).
+ This document should give a rough overview about the greatest changes in OpenMPT 1.18.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2>What's new?</h2>
+
+ <h3>General</h3>
+ <div style="float:right;">
+ <img src="ReleaseNotesImages/1.18/treeview.png" width="183" height="338" alt="Improved treeview" title="Improved treeview" />
+ </div>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Sequences</strong>: It is possible to have more than just one orderlist in the MPTM format now.
+ This way, you can work on several tracks or subtunes at once using the same set of instruments.
+ This is for example useful when working on game music. You can also convert your work back
+ to the other formats - The sequences are merged into one orderlist then. Sequences can be
+ managed comfortably from the treeview.</li>
+ <li>Support for <strong>new file formats</strong>: GDM (General Digital Music), IMF (Imago Orpheus),
+ J2B (Jazz Jackrabbit 2 music) and 8 channel Startrekker modules can now be imported. Scala tuning files can be used with OpenMPT's tuning editor now.
+ Support for other file formats was also notably improved: All PSM files (old and new Epic Megagames MASI)
+ load correctly now, ULT (Ultratracker) import is more accurate, XM files compressed with BoobieSequeezer or made with early versions of Skale Tracker load correctly, etc...</li>
+ <li>A countless number of <strong>playback behaviour fixes</strong> to maximise compatibility with ProTracker,
+ Scream Tracker 3, Fasttracker 2 and Impulse Tracker, including a special
+ "ProTracker 1.x" playback mode. Compatibility export features have been enhanced.</li>
+ <li>Support for <strong>ultra-low latency</strong> in ASIO mode, down to 1ms.</li>
+ <li><strong>Time estimation</strong> in the WAV and MP3 export dialogs; improved MP3 export (including ID3 v2.4 Tags).</li>
+ <li><strong>Default directories</strong> for VST plugins and presets.</li>
+ <li>More <strong>customisable colours</strong>. Now, you can export your favourite colour scheme to a file and share it with your friends!</li>
+ <li>Some <strong>new options</strong>, including the ability not to reset the channels when the module is looping and sample playback indicators in the treeview.</li>
+ <li><strong>Program settings</strong> are now stored in the Application Data folder by default.</li>
+ <li>New and <strong>updated keymaps</strong> with many new shortcuts!</li>
+ <li><strong>Redesigned</strong> several dialogs.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Pattern Editor</h3>
+ <div style="float:right;">
+ <img src="ReleaseNotesImages/1.18/orderlist.png" width="348" height="167" alt="New orderlist" title="New orderlist" />
+ </div>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The upper panel is a lot more <strong>compact</strong> now; The split keyboard settings
+ have been moved to a separate dialog which can be called with a keyboard shortcut
+ or through the main menu.</li>
+ <li><strong>Parameter Control Notes</strong>: These new pattern events almost completely replace Zxx and \xx commands
+ for VST parameter automation in the MPTM format. They are not bound to a specific channel or macro anymore;
+ The pattern event stores all necessary information and can thus be moved around easily in the pattern.
+ The format for those events is: PC(s) XX YYY ZZZ. A PC "note" equals a Zxx effect, a PCs "note" behaves like \xx.
+ The instrument column (XX) contains the VST number (can be obtained from the VST list or through the context menu).
+ The volume column (YYY) stores the parameter that is going to be automatic, ranging from 0 to 999 (decimal).
+ The effect column (ZZZ) stores the parameter value, also ranging from 0 to 999 (decimal).</li>
+ <li>In the <strong>orderlist</strong>, multiple orders can now be selected at once (default multiselect shortcut: Shift).
+ Order selections can be quickly rendered to a wave file using the context menu.</li>
+ <li>New <strong>paste modes</strong>: Overflow paste (which continues the paste in the next pattern if it reaches the bottom of the current pattern),
+ paste flood (which keeps pasting the data again and again, until it reaches the bottom of the pattern) and
+ push-forward paste (which pushes the already existing pattern data downwards, like in Impulse Tracker).</li>
+ <li>Improved MOD editing - now it should be almost impossible to write commands in the patterns that don't belong into MOD files. :-)</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Sample Editor</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Sample drawing</strong>! Create new empty samples and doodle around in the sample editor to create cool chip samples,
+ or fix small mistakes (f.e. peaks) in already existing samples.</li>
+ <li><strong>Undo</strong>: Finally, you can now also undo sample modifications; there are up to 100 undo steps for each individual sample.</li>
+ <li><strong>Mass export</strong>: Shift-Click the "Save" button to export all samples at once.</li>
+ <li><strong>Duplicate sample</strong>: Shift-Click the "New" button to clone all settings and the sample itself into a new sample slot.</li>
+ <li><strong>DC Offset Removal</strong>: Samples can now be aligned perfectly to the zero line, to allow maximum amplification.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Instrument Editor</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The envelopes can now be edited using the <strong>keyboard</strong>; some of the default keymaps already have the necessary shortcuts assigned
+ - if you are using a custom keymap, you might want to add those shortcuts to it using the keyboard setup.</li>
+ <li>The <strong>sample map</strong> (IT / MPTM format) is now also applied to VST instruments. This way, you can easily transpose a VST instrument up or down.
+ Some entries have been added to the sample map's context menu, to simplify this.</li>
+ <li>A basic <strong>envelope zoom</strong> feature; Might still look a bit weird at extreme zoom. :-)</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>VST Plugins</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Pressing <strong>Shift</strong> while changing a plugin parameter in the plugin's GUI will open the
+ MIDI Mapping dialog. Does not work with all plugins.</li>
+ <li>Enhanced <strong>VST compatibility</strong>.</li>
+ </ul>
+

+
+ <h2>Known Issues</h2>
+ <p>
+ <i>This list has mostly been copied over from the old 1.17RC2 release notes, so this not very comprehensive... :-)</i>
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Lacking support for VST 2.4+</li>
+ <li>Some controls are vanishing randomly all the time, most notably under Windows Vista and Windows 7.</li>
+ <li>Previewing samples from the treeview's file browser stops the playing module.</li>
+ <li>Cannot preview instruments directly from the MIDI library in the treeview.</li>
+ <li>Excessive performance drop when dragging over the graphical parameter editor during playback.</li>
+ <li>The Right Alt (or Alt Gr) key is not handled well by the keyboard configuration.</li>
+ <li>In Windows 98, the graphical parameter editor and instrument envelope editor grid display are messed up.</li>
+ <li>There is no real way to find out what features of the tracker are supported by the original trackers (Impulse Tracker, Fasttracker 2, etc...) when working with those file formats...</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h2>Contact</h2>
+ <p>
+ Helpful bug reports, new ideas and brave volunteers to test early development builds or contribute to the code are more than welcome!
