Commas and intervals

• New: comma module
  • Find out which Commas are tempered out by a given Val
  • Access all commas of http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/intervals.html by limit or name using the CommaCatalog
• Change: The sharpness of (anti-)archeotonic scales (Porcupine notation) has been changed to be consistent with common conventions

Commas and intervals

• New: The est command now prints all tempered-out commas listed in http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/intervals.html
• Improvement: The est no longer naively deduces the supported temperament from the sharpness
• Change: The sharpness sign of (anti-)archeotonic scales (Porcupine notation) has been changed to be consistent with common conventions

MOS Scales

• New: Print MOSes of a given generator using tune mos find 1.5
• New: Print generator ranges for a given MOS using tune mos gen 5 2

Better MTS support

• Improvement: The mts module has been rewritten
  • Add options for RT / Non-RT control, Single Note Tuning Change with Bank Select, Scale/OctaveTuning (2-Byte Format)
  • Do not specify options if the default value is sufficient
  • Add a lot of documentation and examples

New crate: fluid-xenth

• New: The microtonal soundfont rendering engine of microwave has been extracted to a separate crate.

JitTuner

• New: Make tune-cli's JitTuner available in tune s.t. it can be shared between different applications

No functional changes, prepare microwave release

tune-cli-0.18.1

Prepare next tune-cli version

Continuous mode Fluidlite

• Improvement: Fluidlite can now be played in continuous mode, i.e.you can just play a pitch instead of a note
  • Due to a restriction in Fluidlite, legato mode does not work
  • It is possible to play 16 simultaneous notes in an interval of 1 semitone

Live retuning, recording file names, bug fixes

• New: Add live-retuning capabilities
  • In the past, microwave always used Single Note Tuning Change messages to retune external synthesizers
  • With the newest version the tuning method (--tun-method) can be full, octave, channel or pitch-bend
• Improvement: You can now specify the file prefix for wav recordings using the --wav-prefix parameter
• Bug fix: The scale degree offset was rendered with the wrong signum (+ instead of - and vice versa)
• Bug fix: The default-envelope indicator wasn't rendered correctly

Physical modeling synthesis, more waveforms

• New: Flexible waveguide model
  • Allow any input buffer to serve as a waveguide exciter
  • Support positively or negatively reflective waveguides
  • Add a non-linear limiter function for more realistic waveguides and to avoid over-excitation
• New: Add more physically modeled default waveforms
• New: Add StageSpec::Signal / SignalKind::Noise
• Improvement: Add LfSourceUnit::Wavelength
