The LinuxSampler Project

2008-09-06 persson
* refactoring: extracted lscp notification from main() to a separate function

2008-08-29 schoenebeck
* global volume sysex message can now be selected at compile time to be only applied to the sampler channels that are connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived on (by default global volume SysEx messages apply globally to the whole sampler)

2008-07-10 schoenebeck
* added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps of all ones defined for the sampler
* bumped version to 0.5.1.6cvs
