26
* added an extra "File/Load Audio File" menu item as new users would
15
27
always try to load an audio file via "File/Open".
16
28
* fixed compilation issues with g++ >= 3.4.
17
* added reverse mapping of MIDI parameters which can be turned
18
on/off via the parameter menu. This allows setting up a MIDI
19
controller as a crossfader.

25
36
* applied a fix from Juha Erkkila <erkkila@cc.jyu.fi> that makes tX
26
37
work on systems that don't have procfs mounted.
27
38
* added an optional Dry/Wet control for all LADSPA plugins. Simply
28
39
click on the plugin's label to add or remove the additional
29
40
control.
30
* added an additional stereo effects queue that allows loading
31
stereo LADPSA plugins. The stereo effects are located below the
32
mono effects - to add a new instance press the "Stereo FX" button
33
and select the plugin of your choice.
34

36

disabled.
38
48
* I'm fed up with terminatorX related security postings, so the old

51
+ a) run terminatorX as root (obviously dangerous and not
42
52
recommended)
43
53
+ b) build terminatorX with capabilities enabled and install it

56
+ c) use the JACK backend with "POSIX draft capabilities" (see
47

49
59

52
in playback mode more gracefully. This really necessary when jack

53
63
decides to kick us out.
54
64
* all vu meters are stereo now. Having a mono widget for a stereo
55
65
thing just didn't make any sense anymore.
56
* modified the render loop to comply with LADSPA V1.1: 0 db is now
57
at 1.0f. This makes a lot of plugins work with terminatorX that

64
74
* wrote support for gtk+'s new FileChooser widget - will be enabled
65
75
automatically when configure finds a gtk+ >= 2.4.0
91
101
* when compiled with rt-scheduling suppport terminatorX will now
92
102
display the resulting scheduling policy in the "About" dialog.
93
103
* if terminatorX was setup to use realtime priority for the audio
94
engine thread but you dont want it - disable realtime scheduling
95
in the Preferences dialog. This works with capabilities _ONLY_.
96
* if you don't want to confirm program termination every time you
97
can now disable "Ask for Quit confirmation" in the Preferences.

106
* if you don't want to confirm program termination every time you can
107
now disable "Ask for Quit confirmation" in the Preferences.
98
108
* added support for Linux' POSIX capabilities. This allows a
99
suid-root installed terminatorX binary to drop root privileges
100
much earlier than with the old approach (so it should be more
101
secure). Requires the libcap library.

Requires the libcap library.
102
112
* obligatory documentation updates - clicking on the sub-sections
103
113
should now work.
104
* removed gtk+ 1.2 cruft - terminatorX now compiles with gtk+ 2.2
105
and *_DISABLE_DEPRECATED macros enabled. To verfiy that you can
106
run configure with --disable-deprecated.

* removed gtk+ 1.2 cruft - terminatorX now compiles with gtk+ 2.2 and
115
*_DISABLE_DEPRECATED macros enabled. To verfiy that you can run
116
configure with --disable-deprecated.
107
117
* terminatorX now has a JACK backend. Currently it works like this:
108
118
on startup tX will connect to the JACK daemon - if the daemon is
109
119
not available on startup JACK output is not available. When the
110
audio engine is turned off, tX emits silence via the JACK ports,
111
so you can leave the ports connected.
112
* sick of green - you can now configure the colors terminatorX
113
should use for the audio display as well as the vu meters in the

audio engine is turned off, tX emits silence via the JACK ports, so
121

* sick of green - you can now configure the colors terminatorX should
123
use for the audio display as well as the vu meters in the
114
124
Preferences dialog.
115
* hopefully fixed wrong setting of the master volume when loading
116
set files.
125
* hopefully fixed wrong setting of the master volume when loading set
126
files.
117
127
* some ALSA installations seem to core on snd_pcm_hw_params_free()
118
128
after sound device init. So freeing the hw_params can now be
119
129
explicitly disabled in the Preferences - if terminatorX crashes
123
133
I even enabled the leak by default now.
124
134
* fixed a bug that caused turntable 1 to get the focus on entering
125
135
Mouse Grab mode even when it's audio panel was minimized.
126
* MIDI mappings can now have "bounds", meaning that the incoming
127
MIDI signals can modify the parameter within the given range only.
136
* MIDI mappings can now have "bounds", meaning that the incoming MIDI
137
signals can modify the parameter within the given range only.
128
138
* introduced a new way of assigning MIDI controllers to parameters:
129
139
simply right-click on a parameter's control: a menu with "MIDI
130
140
Learn" and "Remove MIDI Binding" will pop up - select "MIDI Learn"

134
144
* running suid root (the old way) was reported exploitable by Andrew
135
145
Griffiths <andrewg@felinemenace.org> - the described environment
136
variable based exploit was fixed - however there are possibly
137
other ways to exploit it. So the old method of running suid root
138
has been disabled by default. On Linux systems you really should
139
use the capabilities based approach (see above). If really want to
140
use the old suid-root solution run configure with
141
--enable-suidroot.

142
151
* often, you record events and mess things up - in this case I'd
143
152
often prefer dropping the complete take instead of recording a bad
144
153
perfomance - which is why you now can activate "Confirm Recorded
146
155
ask whether to actually record or drop the events created for the
147
156
last take. The setting for this flag is stored in your
148
157
~/.terminatorXrc.
149

150
a specific type (all, all for certain turntable, all for a certain

* introduced a new "Sequencer" menu that allows to delete events of a
159
specific type (all, all for certain turntable, all for a certain
151
160
parameter) from the sequencer. Events can be deleted for the
152
161
complete song, upto the current song position or from the current
153
162
song position. Yeah, I know, termintorX is lacking a proper
162
171
Version 3.80
163
172
* I've invested quite some time in valgrinding this release, among
164
173
other things a major mem leak showed up - the sample memory wasn't
165
being free'd correctly which is now corrected along with many
166
other things. valgrind is a very helpful tool indeed.

167
176
* Added a new Pitch Calculator that allows adjusting a turntable's
168
177
pitch to that of the master turntable. This makes synchronizing
169
178
finely cut loop samples really easy
187
196
allows to playback set files with events recorded on machines with
188
197
small buffer sizes on slow machines with large buffer sizes. The
189
198
buffersize of the audiodevice has no effect on the "operating"
190
blocksize anymore. Note that the samlping rate has a - very small
191
- effect though. Depending on the sampling rate terminatorX will
192
try to find a blocksize that fits exactly 1 ms - while this is
193
easy for "straight" sampling rates (22000 32000 48000) this
194
results in "44.1" samples for 44100 Hz.

195
204
* Finally hacked a native ALSA backend. It's in "Works For Me" TM
196
205
state.
197
206
* Added "Remove Binding" button
198
207
* MIDI now uses a GIOCallback so the effect of MIDI controllers is
199
208
visible even without the audio engine turned on.
200
209
* Reworked the mastergui for better usabilty and less space
201
consumption, yes, terminatorX now features a boring menubar -
202
which helps using it on small displays quite a bit, and should be
203
easier to handle for first-time users.

204
213
* Implemented a suggestion from Darrick Servis
205
<darrick@dcn.davis.ca.us> that stops clipping in the mixer
206
routine. The outgoing signal is now limited as it should be, which
207
improves the output quality for signals too loud significantly.

208
217
* MIDI mappings are now stored within the (new) tX set files.
209
218
* Applied a patch from Arthur Peters <amp@singingwizard.org> which
210
219
brings preliminary MIDI support to terminatorX. This is realized
211
via the ALSA sequencer interface, so in order for it to compile
212
you have to have the ALSA devel packages installed. ./configure
213
will autodetect them.

214
223
* Fixed a bug in XML serialization that dropped strings' contents.
215
224
* You can now hit "F11" to turn fullscreen mode on/off - this will
216
225
help using terminatorX on small DJ laptops. Note that the key will
217
have no effect in scratch mode - hit it before you enter grab
218
mode. This feature requires a NETWM compliant window manager.

This feature requires a NETWM compliant window manager.
219
228
* terminatorX now stores set files as XML documents, too - so
220
terminatorX has become terminatorXML finally. Note: for sets with
221
a large number of events recorded into the sequencer - the XML
222
based set files can grow significally larger than the old ones
223
(see "compression" above)
224
* The old code to support the obsolete binary tX file formats has
225
now been scheduled for deletion. It's been moved into the
226
tX_legacy* source files and it will be built only when
227
"--enable-legacy" was used on configuring terminatorX (which is
228
the default). Expect this to become disabled and then totally
229
removed from the sources in future.

230
239
* Enhanced audio data display - you can now zoom into the audio
231
signal, which should allow much more precise scratching with
232
larger audio files (ie complete tracks). On playback terminatorX
233
will scroll the displayed area to ensure you always see the area
234
of the sample in which you're currently scratching on.

235
244
* I have not backported the new code to the old gtk+ 1.2 - so this
236
245
release no longer builds with gtk+ 1.2 - you have to upgrade to
237
246
gtk+ Version 2 to be able to build terminatorX.
245
254
* Finally traced down and fixed a long outstanding bug in the dial
246
255
widget, the background of the dials is now drawn correctly.
247
256
* Ported terminatorX to gtk+ Version 2. The code for gtk2 will be
248
enabled when gtk2 is detected by configure. To force terminatorX
249
to use the good old gtk 1.2.x (x>=5) run configure with the
257

253
262
* Applied a patch from Adrian that brings lots of new stuff:
254
263
+ Debian package support (removed - Mike Furr now maintains an
255
264
official Debain package for terminatorX)
261
270
reliably and it should detect ladspa.h when located in
262
271
/usr/local/include without /usr/local/include being contained in
263
272
the include path.
264
* This release should compile and run on FreeBSD systems and
265
possibly OpenBSD, too. Thanks for help and testing this goes to
266
Tilman Linneweh <tilman@arved.de> .

267
276
* Sequencer now refuses to play when no events available - and
268
277
displays a dialog that suggests running the audio engine.
269
278
* De-uglified the terminatorX note dialog.
276
285
* Rewrote the engine thread completely - unlike before the engine
277
286
thread is created on startup and kept alive until termination.
278
287
* terminatorX can now be run suid root - and it might even be safe.
279
After creating the engine thread both terminatorX threads drop
280
root privileges before evaluating any parameters or

reading/writing files, etc. The problem is the pthread "manager
282
thread" is out of control of terminatorX code - so I cannot tell
283
that thread to drop privileges.
288
After creating the engine thread both terminatorX threads drop root
289
privileges before evaluating any parameters or reading/writing
290
files, etc. The problem is the pthread "manager thread" is out of
291

* Well, I am allowed to change my mind, aren't I? Anyway, 3DNow! is
321
330
back. Nevertheless newer gcc releases seem to have a bug in
322
handling movq and the current 3DNow! stereo implementation does
323
not seem to be very efficient. So use --enable-3dnow only if you
324
want to help me improve perfomance.

334
* Modified the mpg123 loader in order to make it work with mpg321,
326
335
too. mpg321 lacks support for mpg123's -m switch ("singlemix")
327
336
therefor mpg?2?'s output is now piped into sox to convert the

* the bigNewThang (TM) is STEREO output. The Pan-Buttons now
341
actually do what you'd expect them to. Therefore your soundcard
342
must have stereo support of course but I guess in 2001 this really
343
shouldn't be a problem, right? The recorded wavfiles will now be
344
stereo wavfiles of course. Note that stereo output means double

* The echo effect has undergone some enhancements to profit from the
350
359
new stereo output. It's signal will now be mixed seperately so you
351
360
can choose a different stereo panorama position for the echo
352
signal. So the new echo effect now features it's own PAN-knob.
353
This does have some sideeffects though, for more details on this

check the manual. Additionally the echo effect now has it's own

volume setting to influence the dry/wet ratio of this effect.

* Some LADSPA effects tend to create NAN (Not A Number) float values
357
366
under certain conditions. This is bad as all following operations
358
367
will result in NANs, so there will be no audio output no more. Now
360
369
CPU-power, producing NANs is IMHO a faulty behaviour for LADSPA
361
370
plugins and it should be fixed in there. Now a problem with the
362
371
previous release was that the echo and lowpass effects "ate" those
363
NANs resulting in NANs in those effects' buffers. So once a NAN
364
got in there these effects caused the whole audio output to mute
372
NANs resulting in NANs in those effects' buffers. So once a NAN got
373
in there these effects caused the whole audio output to mute

(forever). Which is why I now introduced some code to clear the
366
375
buffers in echo and lowpass whenever you dis- and reenable them.
367
376
* The GUI does have two master vu-meters now. The turntable's still
368
have one vu-meter only. Note that the echo-signal is *not*
369
included in the turntable's vu-meter now, as it's mixed
370
seperately.
371
* The 3DNow!-Optimizations are gone. And they'll proabably never
372
come back as I don't have time to maintain the same algorithm

of typos have been fixed as well.

386
* This release brings support for LADSPA plugins. These plugins can
380
387
be inserted into any turntable's effect chain at any position. You
381
can edit the the effect sequence with the two tiny blue arrows.
382
The builtin effects reside in the same effect chain as LADSPA
383
plugins, but unlike LADSPA plugins they cannot be removed (nor
388

389
builtin effects reside in the same effect chain as LADSPA plugins,
390
but unlike LADSPA plugins they cannot be removed (nor
384
391
multi-instanciated). The LADSPA plugins have to "fit" into the
385
392
effect chain, which is why terminatorX supports *mono* plugins
386
393
(plugins that have one audio-in and one audio-out port) only. For
392
399
LADSPA-plugins are "sequencable parameters", so you can record
393
400
parameter-change events for the plugin's knobs just as for the
394
401
standard parameters.
395
* GUI re-design to support dynamic plugin GUIs. The
396
audiofile-display is now seperated from the turntable's controls.
397
The groups are split in to panels which can be minimized if not
398
required (orange arrow). The panels' minimized-status will be
399
saved within the set files. To add a plugin effect into the
400
turntables effect chain click on the "FX"- button and choose the
401
plugin of your choice. To get more info on the plugin effects
402
click on their panel's label. NOTE: The panning-control is not
403
working yet. It'll work as soon as stereo is done.

the sequencer will correctly play back recorded events only when
433
the buffer size (of the audio device) is set to the same size as
434
it was when recording the events. I know this is annoying and I

will try to find a solution to this. Please take a look at the

README to find out how the sequencer works.

* added Drag'n Drop support. Works with the great gmc. Drop an audio
490
496
file over the filename-button or the wavdisplay of a turntable to
491
load it into that table. Drop an audiofile over the "Add
492
Turntable" Button to create a new turntable and load that file

into that turntable. Drop a tX-set file over the "Load Set" button
494
to load the set.

Version 3.51
497
* fixes the load_piped() compilation error if you use neither sox
498
nor mpg123. Note that you have no "pre-listening" without mpg123
499
for mp3s and no "pre-listening" for any other file without sox.

508
* Yet another redesign ;) Oh well this project moved from
529
535
somebody wants to code set files with integrated audio data... ;)
530
536
* The way audiofiles are loaded has been redesigned too: the builtin
531
537
wav routines, the sox support and mpg123 are no longer connected.
532
This means you can use mpg123 support without sox support and
533
still have the builtin wav routines enabled. If you have the
534
builtin wav reader and sox enabled, tX will try try to use the
535
builtin routines first, and if they fail sox will be used as a
536
fallback which is of course slower as you know... There's some
537
support for Benno Senoner's brilliant 3.2-mmap() patch but the
538
patch still needs to be ported.

580
585
* Rehacked the de-clicking (fading) code. The old one tried to be
581
much more intelligent - and failed fading out the signal
582
sometimes. The new code is much simpler (faster) and is much more
583
reliable.
584
* added common sense to the warp feature (f-key in scratch mode).
585
The warping speed is still connected to the mouse speed but it's
586
now adjusted to the sample size as well: you can warp through any

* added debug configure switch. Enables (very few) debug messages
589
