After the latest (and ongoing) major service outage at sourceforge.net, we decided to finally move our subversion source code repository away from their site and onto our own server. The new code repository is located at ... [More] https://source.openmpt.org/svn/openmpt/ and can be browsed comfortably through WebSVN - this is also where you can download code snapshots and read commit logs. Our new repository is mirrored in several physical locations. The old commit mailing list is still alive, and you may also receive commit notifications by subscribing to the RSS feed. Further information on migrating your own existing working copies can be found in this forum post. [Less]

The latest version of OpenMPT has been released today. This is a quick bugfix release for yesterday's update to counteract an excessive performance drop that could be experienced when using OpenMPT in Wine or on slow systems. A few other small ... [More] , mostly new issues have been fixed as well: Seeking with sample sync didn't apply portamento and note delay + row delay combinations accurately in some cases. On rows with a row delay effect, offset commands were executed on every row repetition in the previous version. Note delays are capped by the ticks per row + fine pattern delay tick count, not taking row delay into account. ProTracker instrument swapping is also applied if there was an empty sample slot "playing". In case you missed yesterday's update, there were many more improvements and new features as well. For a complete list of changes, have a look at the release notes and the full version history. [Less]

The latest version of OpenMPT has been released today. This is mostly a bugfix to address bugs found in the previous OpenMPT 1.24 release, but also brings a few other improvements. These are the noteworthy improvements and changes in OpenMPT ... [More] 1.24.03.00: New fade curves in pattern and sample amplification dialog: Exponential, Logarithmic, Square Root, Quarter Sine, Half Sine. Greatly improved seek performance when "Maintain sample sync on seek" is enabled. The MPTM volume column offset command has been revamped: 9 custom cue points can be selected for each sample in the waveform's context menu, which can then be triggered using o01...o09. Can now transpose a whole channel in all patterns via the channel header context menu. When jumping around in the order list, panning, parameter extension (#xx), and tempo / volume slides that are on the same row as a set speed effect are now applied properly. Plugin editors now have minimize / maximize buttons, which can be used to shrink a plugin window to only display the title and menu bar. Sample crossfader can now use constant power (instead of constant volume) fade law for even smoother loop transitions. The sample can now optionally be faded back to its original content after the loop end. Middle-C finetune adjustments are now made in cents (1/100th of a semitone) instead of Hertz. Can now load and save instrument envelopes independently from whole instruments. Apply DNA and NNA settings to released notes when previewing notes in the instrument editor. Support for ProTracker oneshot loops in ProTracker 1/2 mode: If the loop start is right at the start of the sample, play through the whole sample once and then repeat just the loop part. Added support for loading PLM (Disorder Tracker 2) files. No longer mark module as modified when switching between sequences. libopenmpt has been updated as well, bringing the library and input plugins on the same level as the current OpenMPT release.

These are the noteworthy improvements and changes in OpenMPT ... [More] 1.24.02.00: Added suppport for custom pattern fonts as well as upscaled variants of the built-in fonts for High-DPI devices. Ever wanted to write a song using Comic Sans or Wingdings? Now you can... Show verbose pattern effect descriptions in the status bar instead of the short versions. Note-offs from past notes are no longer written when recording notes into patterns. The Parameter Editor refused to work under random conditions. Added new shortcuts in the sample editor to center the waveform display around loop points. The previous version introduced some perceivable performance drops in the instrument editor and sample browser. Vibrato and fine portamento were sometimes too weak in IT files in the previous version. ProTracker-compatible tone portamento behaviour in MOD files. Improved STM playback accuracy.

It's time for the next big OpenMPT release, and OpenMPT 1.24 again brings a great amount of long-awaited new and improved features. Here is a short summary of the most notable new features: ITP is dead*, long live MPTM! No worries, your old ITP files ... [More] can still be imported, but the clunky ITP format has been dropped in favour of some new features in the MPTM format: Instead of linked instruments, you can now keep references to external samples in your MPTM files, effectively reducing the file size even if a sample is shared by several instruments. The ITI instrument format has been extended in a similar way so that ITI files can now simply reference external sample files instead of directly embedding the sample data (choose "Impulse Tracker Instruments with external Samples" in the save dialog). Unlike in the ITP format, it is easy to mix external and internal samples in one file and relocate missing files. Each song's window position and contents are now saved, so that you can continue right where you left off when reloading the file. "Remove unused sample data" now also finds samples with identical stereo channels and offers to optimize them to mono. Dropping a folder on OpenMPT that contains modules or VST plugins opens / registers them directly now. Song length estimation can now show the length of all "hidden" subtunes in the current sequence. Many small improvements in the audio output code again, also to improve performance on Wine systems. In the pattern editor, Ctrl+(Shift+)Scroll wheel can now be used as a replacement for the "(Coarse) Data Entry" shortcuts. Further enhanced drag&drop functionality in the tree view: Dropping a module or folder on the sample browser opens this module or folder for browsing, dropping a soundfont file on the upper part of the tree view adds it to the list of soundfonts. In the tree view, sample waveforms can now be reloaded from disk (e.g. after editing a sample in an external application) if OpenMPT knows the sample's original path, e.g. after loading or saving it, or using MPTM's external sample feature. When adding a new plugin through the plugin manager that is missing from some open file, it is now automatically loaded and restored in that file. "Randomize Parameters" now applies a customizable randomization factor to plugin parameters. Resampling samples to any custom sample rate is now possible, thanks to the high-quality r8brain-free resampler. Adjusting the sample frequency updates all playing notes' sample frequency immediately (only in IT and MPTM). Custom background and selection colours for the sample and instrument editor. Rearranging samples (e.g. through song cleanup or the tree view) no longer messes up the undo buffer history. When previewing instruments with a fadeout value of 0, instantly stop them on key-up instead of letting them play forever. The first instrument of a soundfont can now be loaded directly without registering the soundfont in OpenMPT. Useful for single-instrument soundfonts. S70 / S71 / S72 commands do now also work with instrument plugins. NNA / DCA settings are now applied to plugins assigned to sample-less instruments as well. Smooth MIDI macros do now, to some extent, work with external MIDI messages. They interpolate from the previous Zxx or \xx parameter from the same channel to the new parameter. In all mix modes since 1.17RC2, a way too long volume ramp (some times up to 100 times longer than the user-supplied ramp setup) was applied for extreme global volume changes. This is now disabled except for legacy 1.17RC2 mix mode. Re-implemented stereo separation to be applied on the master mix. This means that it also works as expected with stereo samples and plugins now. Linear frequency slide mode (in all formats except XM, which already worked as intended) has been re-implemented to fix some unwanted inaccuracies which can add up very quickly when using extra-fine slides. Reverted XM compatibility export to always write out 256 order items, which should restore compatibility with a couple of players that were previously choking on OpenMPT's XM files. Use "normal" compatible mix mode instead of FT2 panning mix mode for XM files that were compatibility-exported with OpenMPT 1.22 or older, and XM files made with other trackers that use linear panning. Compatible playback mode for S3M: When enabled, OpenMPT emulates certain ScreamTracker quirks as it did until now (linked pattern effect memory and ignored effects on muted channels). Compatible mode is disabled automatically for files made with less compatible trackers. S3M files made with OpenMPT always have this mode enabled, and its state is not saved in S3M files. Amiga frequency limits can now also be enforced in MOD files without activating ProTracker 1/2 mode. Added loading support for a MOD variant introduced by SoundTracker 2.6 and Ice Tracker. Completely rewrote MT2 loader. Some files that would previously not load properly do now load. Support for VST plugins, drum patterns and some extended MT2 pattern commands has been added. * Not that anyone would have noticed - some fundamental errors in the ITP saving code have gone unnoticed since the release of OpenMPT 1.21 two years ago... For a complete list of changes, have a look at the release notes and the full version history. libopenmpt has been updated as well to reflect the latest improvements in OpenMPT. New features include independent pitch and tempo modification as well as better subsong selection control. [Less]
