Support for changing start, end, and loop points using UI controls.

1.9.17 (1/26/24)

If you close and re-open DS, it should now preserve the window size that you had before you closed it. (This will not persist when you reload your DAW session, however.) (0000040)
Fixed a bug that was preventing the WaveShaper effect form working when in high quality mode (0000080)

1.9.15 (1/19/24)

Fixed a bug having to do with velocity-based filter bindings.

1.9.13 (1/17/24)

Includes a number of small bug fixes that should improve reliability of loading presets

1.9.3 (10/10/23)

In the Decent Sampler store, when library updates are available, a new icon shows up next to the sample library. Clicking on the sample library allows you to download the updates. (0000063)
Fixed a bug that was preventing two modulators from targeting the same group-level effect parameter (0000063)
Fixed a bug that was causing the wave shaper effect’s volume to get much louder when the effect was turned off to safe CPU (0000062)
Fixed a bug that was occasionally resulting in users getting logged out of the DS store without even knowing it. (0000060)
Added a panel within the DS store that tells a user whether or not they are logged in (0000061)

1.9.2 (10/5/23)

When the plugin is unable to find a sample library, it now pops up a dialog box that says so and allows the user to find the library. If the user is able to find the library, instrument settings get preserved. (0000055)
When a new preset is loaded, the keyboard should be centered on the available range of that instrument. (0000057)

1.9.1 (9/23/23)

Boosted the maximum number of effects to 16 (0000046)

Fixed a bug that was causing the plug-in to crash sometimes when switching presets
The plug-in now caches the store catalog locally, and only reaches out to the API when data is stale instead of every time the plug-in starts up. This should greatly reduce bandwidth usage on both the client and server side.

1.9.0 (9/13/23)

It’s now possible to “favorite” sample libraries. Favoriting sample libraries causes them to show up in the “Favorites” sub-menu within the File Menu. (0000006, 0000047)
Plug-in now responds to Command+O or Ctrl+O for preset load and Command+S or Ctrl+S for preset save (0000048)
The global volume used to be applied before effects, but it is now applied after effects (0000043)
The group volume is applied before group effects, but it is now applied after (0000044)
In the File Browser, if you right-click on a sample library on Mac or Windows you will be presented with a “Reveal in Finder” or “Reveal in Explorer” menu option (0000049)
Sample Creators: When you convert an SFZ or an EXS, the newly generated preset will now have ADSR, tone, chorus, and reverb knobs automatically. 0000050

1.8.14 (8/4/23)

For sample creators: fixed a bug that was causing the engine to produce different results when multiple bindings were being targeted by an envelope compared to a single target.
For sample creators: It’s now possible to target groups using tags from within modulator bindings. This will be exciting to about 1% of people who use this sampler. 🙂

1.8.12 (5/16/23)

Temporarily disabled the sample list that is displayed on the file menu. It seems that generating this list was actually causing the entire plug-in to become slow. We will be looking into how to fix this issue.

1.8.11 (5/10/23)

Fixed a bug that was causing certain presets in Interlaced to produce static. Basically, when a low-pass filter was set to exactly 22,050Hz, the glitchy audio would glitch out. (Issue #34)

1.8.10 (5/8/23)

Added a new checkbox in File > Preferences… > Engine dialog box called “Effects: Disable when not in use.” Checking this will cause effects such as Convolution and Reverb to be bypassed when their levels are at 0. Enabling this may reduce CPU usage on presets that make use of a lot of effects.

1.8.9 (4/24/23)

Improved the code that calculates the size of the window when a new preset is loaded (Issue #28, Issue #26)
The sample list on the file menu should now match the samples that are displayed in the BROWSE window (Issue #27)

1.8.5 (3/11/23)

Fixed a bug that made downloading large sample libraries unstable
Fixed a bug that prevented the sample library UI from being recreated correctly when the plugin window was closed and then re-opened.

1.8.4 (3/3/23)

Microtuning: fixed a bug that was causing the plugin to crash when an .scl file was loaded with an invalid .kbm file. Now we just get a nice error message, explaining what happened.
The linux build should no longer expose so many global symbols. If you know what this means, rejoice, otherwise you can ignore it . 😉

1.8.3 (3/1/23)

Added a new option to the Tuning sub-menu that allows sample selection to take place based on the microtuning scale
Fixed a bug that was causing the iOS version of the plug-in to crash sometimes when loaded with AUM

Added SFZ importing. This is just like the EXS importer in that it will get you basic mappings, but extended features are not supported.
Fixed a bug that was causing some EXS files to crash Decent Sampler
Fixed a bug that was preventing EXS round robins from being translated correctly
After doing an EXS or SFZ import, if there are file errors, we now display a message explaining that this probably isn’t catastrophic and that the conversion probably still worked fine
After doing an EXS or SFZ import, if we then go to save the preset out, a suggested dspreset filename is filled in in the dialog box.
Refactored a lot of the UI control code to make it use less CPU

1.4.15 (Mac only)

Decent Sampler now works on macOS going back to 10.10. This was requested by several users who work on older machines.
Got rid of AUv3 support on Mac in order to target macOS 10.10. This is an experimental change. Stats would indicate that everyone was using regular AU and not AUv3 anyway. If it turns out that you need AUv3 format for some reason, please contact us.

1.4.14

Fixed a bug that was preventing sounds with seqLength of greater than 5 from playing.

1.4.13

Fixed a bug that was causing the UI to freeze for 1-2 seconds on plugin startup

1.4.10

Added an Import EXS preset menu item to the Developer Tools menu 😉

1.4.9

Fixed a bug that was preventing bindings against the chorus effect’s mod rate from working correctly. (NOTE: If an instrument sounds weird now and it didn’t before, and your instrument uses chorus, check on your modRate values to make sure they’re what you want. The default value is 0.20 and that usually sounds good.)

1.4.8

The <tag> element now has an enabled attribute. In order for a sample or group to play, all its tags need to be enabled.
The binding that corresponds to the tag’s volume has been changed to TAG_VOLUME (from AMP_VOLUME). The old one will still work, but developers should start using the new name in their new instrument’s.
It’s now possible to create bindings against a tag’s enabled attribute using the TAG_ENABLED binding parameter.

1.4.6

Fix a bug that was causing the wrong ADSR lengths when the sample rate of the samples was different than the playback sample rate
Fixed a bug that was causing the plugin to delete directories that were passed to it, but that didn’t contain any dspreset files (!!!)

1.3.6

Added previous and next buttons in the header bar. These allow you to quickly switch through presets.

When a user loads an instrument from their library and the instrument is in DSLIBRARY format, the engine will now offer to let them install (unzip) the instrument

1.3.0

Fixed a bunch of bugs that prevented samples from being reloaded in some DAWs.

1.2.7

Fixed a bug that was causing the sampler to crash when loading dslibrary files that contain multiple presets.

1.2.4

When you load a “dslibrary” or “zip” file, Decent Sampler will ask you if you want to “install” it to your instrument library. Doing this should result in performance and reliability improvements.

1.2.3

Added delay effect
Fixed an automation bug introduced in 1.2.0

1.2.0

Support for native host automation
Added chorus and phaser effects
Improved sample library loader–there is now a nice dialog box with a bar that shows sample loading progress
When controlling the onscreen keyboard with your computer keyboard, you can change octaves by hitting the z and x keys
Fixed a bug that was causing the overall volume control to display the wrong value when linked to one of the instrument’s knobs
When a bad XML file is encounter, Decent Sampler now shows an error message.
Labels and sliders now scale up correctly when the window size is increased
MIDI bindings now respond to `control` as well as `labeled_knob`
Added a “Developer Tools” sub-menu with a “Save Preset…” option. This is very useful if you are a sample creator and want to see what Decent Sampler is seeing under the hood
