| OLD NEWS |
|
December 9, 2000: Updated website with new logo and
screenshots. Planning to release a new version soon. Feel free to get
the latest from CVS though, I try to keep it somewhat functional :)
New things include: ALSA sequencer support, splash image, more
undo/redo support, better right click menus, and spin buttons in
sample viewer.
|
|
September 16, 2000: Smurf Sound Font Editor v0.49.8 released
with the following enhancements: experimental waveform generator, some
midi controls on toolbar, sample cut support, improved menu interface,
toolbar icons, fixed various problems with the sound font tree, a
German translation (thanks to Johannes Drechsel-Burkhard),
configurable keyboard key map for piano, more sample related
preferences, fixed audiofile sample export bug, other bug fixes and
code clean up/reformatting.
|
|
August 22, 2000: Looks like libsndfile is up to version 0.0.21
and an RPM package is now distributed. Those who downloaded the
audiofile RPM of Smurf may want to get the regular Smurf RPM and the
new libsndfile RPM. Audiofile has a tendency to terminate the program
thats using it, if things aren't to its liking.
|
|
July 23, 2000: Updated web site. Status page now available
showing progress of various functions in Smurf, let me know if I
missed any, or have an idea for a new one. Updated Manual and Current
Status and created a Requirements page as per request.
|
|
July 7, 2000: Ooops, looks like the --with-libsndfile=PFX
switch to the configure script is broken with v0.49.5. Its actually
--with-sndfile=PFX, I will release another version later today.
|
|
July 5, 2000: Smurf v0.49.5 released with libsndfile support,
raw sample loading, key velocity set/view, sample exporting, root key
set/view, international language support (need translators!), find
feature, multiple item deletes, limited native ALSA support (OSS
emulation works!), sound font information set/view and sample
selections (although you can't do anything with them yet :) The i386
rpm now requires libsndfile which can be retrieved from the libsndfile
homepage it needs to be compiled and installed. If you would
rather not bother and have audiofile installed then download the
smurf-audiofile i386 rpm. I hope to update the web site soon, it is
getting pretty stale.
|
|
April 1, 2000: I posted an Introduction to sound fonts to the
web site. You can read it by following the "Intro to sound fonts"
link. Should be helpful to anyone who is new to sound fonts and even
those who aren't. Feedback is welcome, like any part of this
project. Happy April fools day, and no I wasn't joking about any of
that :)
|
|
March 25, 2000: Smurf v0.49.1 released which fixes a problem
with some assignments to OSS reserved variables which were causing
compile problems with some users. Configure now generates RPM spec
file automatically.
|
|
March 24, 2000: Smurf development moved to SourceForge. This
will provide the project with helpful developement tools such as CVS,
forums, mailing lists, bug tracking, surveys, and other goodies. Web
site re-done and will be in a state of flux. Feel free to test out
some of the new facilities available, they are accessible from the
"Smurf Project HQ" link.
|
|
March 21, 2000: Smurf v0.49 released. Improved SoundFont tree,
sample viewer for setting loop points, preferences, partial
GUS/SoftOSS support, set/view preset generators and many other
features/improvements. New screenshots of Smurf posted to site.
|
|
February 23, 2000: Its been a while since the last release and
quite a lot has been done on the project. A CVS repository is in the
works, so in the future users shouldn't have to wait so long. I'm also
looking for any persons interested in helping out with this
project. Anything from coding to creating icons to making this web
page better would be helpful. New version comming soon.
|
|
December 6, 1999: Released Smurf v0.46 which fixes the broken
external midi implimentation. Most of the SoundFont tree right click
menu items are active now (except for "Find" and "Goto" items). See
the Status page for some details on new problems and limitations. I
haven't thoroughly tested this one, so there could be some fairly
obvious problems. I also added a FAQ page which will have information
on using some of the more non-intuitive features of Smurf.
|
|
November 8, 1999: Released Smurf v0.45 which has several new
features including saving of SoundFonts, loading samples, control of
instrument generators and control of instrument/preset note
ranges. Presets, instruments and samples are loaded into sound device
(currently only SB Awe). There are a lot of inactive menu items (most
of them appear when right clicking on the sound font tree). You can
distinguish these by the fact that they do absolutely nothing :) They
are there only to notify you of their future existence.
|
|
September 13, 1999: Created Smurf Phorum for discussion on
anything related to Smurf, try it out!
|
|
September 12, 1999: Hmm.. I still haven't posted the code yet?
I've been working full time lately so that has cut down some of the
developement time. I've also ran into several hurdles in coding this
project, some of them are mentioned in the "Status" section. If any of
you out there have experience or willingness to code for this project
let me know. Also send me an email and tell me what you think about
smurf, I would like some feedback. I updated the screen shots and
dropped Smurf 0.40 for your downloading pleasure.

|
August 14, 1999: Getting ready to post the first release of smurf
to this page. The code tree is now using autoconf/automake which I find to
be incredibly helpful in managing/building the project. Tested Smurf on an
iMac running Linux-PPC 1999 and had to make a few endien related changes
to the code, but it now functions just like on the i386. "Modularized" the
awe driver to make it relatively easy to write support for other Wavetable
drivers such as the GUS and Soft OSS driver (software implemented
wavetable driver for your 16 bit OSS supported sound card, cool). Stay
tuned for new screenshots and the smurf code!
|
|
July 2, 1999: First day of web page. Smurf will load sound
fonts, display SoundFont GTK+ tree and instrument generator values but
little else.
