JavaMod V3.9.4.1

JavaMod - a java based multimedia player for Protracker, Fast Tracker, Impulse Tracker, Scream Tracker and other mod files plus SID, MP3, WAV, OGG, APE, FLAC, MIDI, AdLib ROL-Files (OPL), ... See the supported file types for a complete list.

This is the original JavaMod project from Daniel "Quippy" Becker.

Download the JAR or the source code and compile for yourself. A double click on the jar-file should start it. If not, to manually start the player in GUI mode open a command line (CMD or Shell) and enter: java -jar ./javamod.jar To start the command line version enter: java -cp ./javamod.jar de.quippy.javamod.main.CommandLine MODFILE Without any parameters you will receive a help screen.

On Linux consider starting with OpenGL render pipeline activated: java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -jar ./javamod.jar

Remarks to 3.9.x version updates

With JavaMod versions 4.0 to 5.0 I want to integrate Midi and AdLib support. However, before starting that I want to have all test mods of Schism and Open ModPlug Tracker to work. We finished MOD, XM, STM and S3M with this version and a whole lot of other stuff as well. So I decided to release new versions with minor version number updates to have you participate in these changes!

Download of compiled version and source code

Supported file types:

  • Mods (STK, NST, MOD, WOW, XM, FAR, MTM, STM, STS, STX, S3M, IT, MPTM, PowerPacker)
  • OPL2/3 (ROL, LAA, CMF, DRO, SCI)
  • WAV, AU, AIFF
  • MIDI (MID, RMF, RMI) with SF2 soundfont files
  • MP3 (Files and Streams)
  • FLAC
  • APE (ape, apl, mac)
  • OGG/Vorbis (ogg, oga)
  • SID (very basic support. Use JSidPlay2 or Vice SID Player)
  • Playlists PLS, M3U, M3U8, ZIP, CUE

Technical info:

Code Compliance Level: JDK 17 Build with openJDK 17.0.11

Third-party libraries

JavaMod incorporates modified versions of the following libraries:

Known issues:

  • With PulseAudio:
    • gapless audio streams do not work if SourceLine Buffers drain out
    • scrambled sound (especially with PipeWire)
  • With KDE:
    • JDialogs, when set visible, will not come to front
  • Tray Icon: mouse wheel (volume control) & keyboard shortcuts do not work

Planned:

  • finish loading of OMPT extended instrument / song data / mixer data
  • reading at least Midi Config with XMs / ITs
  • VSTiVolume, SamplePreAmp, MixLevels - look, what OMPT has to say
  • check for further missing MPTM Effects like Reverb and Surround commands
  • optimize recognition of different trackers - for whatever that is worth it
  • Quad Speaker mixing (rear speakers)
    • LongList:
    • Midi and AdLib/OPL with Mods
    • WavPack and MusePack support
    • MO3 support
    • read from 7z archives

New in Version 3.9.4.1 HotFix

  • FIX: IT MidiMacros are dismissed as of version recognition. However, that was wrongly implemented and now MidiMacros are mostly always deleted.

New in Version 3.9.4

  • NEW: Supporting STX (ScreamTracker Music Interface Kit)
  • NEW: moved all STM, S3M, IT, ModPlug specific coding into ScreamTrackerMixer
  • NEW: PatternImagePanel now knows about unused (muted) channels with IT - with S3Ms I still throw them out (can be changed by a "compile switch").
  • NEW: also XMs, when saved with ModPlug (not when compatibility mode), get rainbow colored headers in pattern dialog
  • NEW: Same with S3Ms when OPL3 is needed
  • NEW: recognizing MPTM "sample on disc" to output an error. I do not support that, and I don't want to support all the sample sources MPTM can load.
  • NEW: AdLib Instruments loaded for MPTP and S3M plus display in sample dialog
  • FIX: Finished - (except those tests that require OPL): Enhanced ScreamTracker 2 compatibility by fixing everything to make these test MODs work: https://wiki.openmpt.org/Development:_Test_Cases/S3M (many, many changes...!) Remarks to the loop tests. They are now played, as ST3 (V3.21) does it.
    The loops run differently when you mute channels in ST3, because then the SB0 and SBx commands of the muted channels are not executed. JavaMod on the other hand does not simulated that. If you mute a channel, effects are still executed. Only channels that were saved as muted are ignored.
  • FIX: Bugs after finishing MODs and XMs. I broke XMs without instruments. And the overflow check at preparePortaToNoteEffect was checking a period against an index.
  • FIX: XM GlobalVolSlide only on Tick Zero.
  • FIX: XM porta2Note with new instrument - really ignore it. Was now dead code.
  • FIX: XM and low notes - removed security checks, FT2 does not do them. However, we simulate the uint8 note value to get negative wrap around.
  • FIX: XM show correct frequency and transposed note in sample dialog
  • FIX: XM only in modplug mode support extended XM effects >0xE2x
  • FIX: XM ignores sample offset, if no note is present
  • FIX: IT, STM, S3M jumpLoops
  • FIX: IT, STM, S3M vibrato depths fixed
  • FIX: IT Global Tempo Slide on ticks>0 and not (and not only) on tick 0
  • FIX: IT moving noteCut to a method: NNA/DNA must also call that. ARGH!
  • FIX: IT recognizing different SavedWithTracker names
  • FIX: S3M Loading: recognize different trackers now, ModPlug recognition optimized
  • FIX: S3M reading song flags now correctly
  • FIX: S3M if AmigaLimits is now active - set correct borders
  • FIX: S3M calculation of periods was too precise (cannot believe I say that)
  • FIX: S3M double clean up of pattern removed
  • FIX: Empty S3Ms are better loaded now
  • FIX: STM special speed set (also added ST2Tempo for S3M, if set in song flags, but did not check)
  • FIX: STM is mono (as is STX)
  • FIX: STM / S3M Arpeggios were one half note off
  • FIX: STM Zero Effects - no effect memo
  • FIX: STM unsupported effects: you can edit beyond arpeggio effect, but are not implemented in ScreamTracker 2.21
  • FIX: STM recognition optimized (false positive STX and some Schism)
  • FIX: Reworked proceedToNextRow - patternFineDelay plus PatternBreak failed
  • FIX: PatternImagePanel: no IndexArrayOutOfBounds with initial currentIndex=-1 (went unnoticed - was just catched and "walked off")

New in Version 3.9.3

  • FIX: Finished: Enhanced FastTracker 2 compatibility by fixing everything to make these test MODs work: https://wiki.openmpt.org/Development:_Test_Cases/XM (many, many changes...!)
  • FIX: When fixing (Fine) VolSlides for XMs: MODs do not have effect memory with fine volume slides
  • FIX: Note Delays with XMs did not work correctly anymore, due to other fixes. Refixed...
  • FIX: XM: During Note Delays, tick effects (volume column) need to continue
  • FIX: Note delay overhaul as well for ProTracker, when we are at it.
  • FIX: S3Ms reset volume with only instrument given
  • FIX: Fixed IT ((Extra) Fine) porta up/down. Additionally moved some effects to be processed after vol column effects (arpeggio / vibrato / Tremolo)
  • FIX: the information dialogs Pattern, Instrument and Sample stayed closed when de-iconifying JavaMod. That is because we use "dispose" to hide JavaMod in the task bar with Linux KDE when minimizing to system tray. That is not a good idea, as the visible status of those is always false then and cannot be restored
  • FIX: renamed effect "retrig note + volume slide" to "multi retrig note"
  • FIX: Show >0xFF rows in pattern display

New in Version 3.9.2

  • FIX: Continue: Enhanced FastTracker 2 compatibility by fixing everything to make these test MODs work: https://wiki.openmpt.org/Development:_Test_Cases/XM (many, many changes...!)
  • FIX: When loading XMs create empty patterns (the player can handle this, the pattern display however does not like null rows or null elements
  • FIX: Fix of 3.9 to 3.9.1 introduced bug of envelope fade out
  • FIX: AutoVibrato with XMs was broken - also with IT (copy bug from vibrato)
  • FIX: Update check did not update the date of last check
  • FIX: VolumeSlides and FineVolSlides plus volume column volume slides

New in Version 3.9.1

  • NEW: Colorful pattern display with previous and next pattern displayed in dim colors. Following pattern optimized, drawn completely manually and with full clipping of unseen parts to gain speed. Effects are displayed in different colors per category, like MPT does it During playback, you can select a pattern for seeking into the piece
  • NEW: Moved the UpdateThread of ModPatternDialog into a separate class and moved wiring into ModContainer
  • NEW: added also an editor bar to the pattern display to move with cursor keys and page up/down, home/end, ... plus modifier keys. Press ESC to leave editor mode. (The editor mode is not a real editor!)
  • NEW: A double click on the instrument column will open instrument/sample dialog for display
  • NEW: Zoom for instrument and sample display
  • NEW: Overhaul of most of the graphical implementations
  • NEW: removed test classes from project
  • NEW: Added a headless mode for command line usage. That way no GUI elements are created. (Explanation: So far we used the ConfigPanels to store the current config of a mixer. Now this is done locally and only transported to/from the GUIs, if they are present)
  • NEW: Added ModPlug Tracker MPTM-Files for loading. However, not all MPTM- effects are yet supported (there are not that many missing though) See next list:
  • NEW: added support for OMPT special "Extension Effect" feature
  • NEW: added OMPT extended song properties (not all yet!)
  • NEW: added OMPT extended instrument properties (by far not all yet!)
  • NEW: added OMPT cue points
  • NEW: added OMPT tempo modes CLASSIC, ALTERNATIVE and MODERN plus TempSwing
  • NEW: added OMPT pattern names / channel names / channel coloring
  • NEW: added OMPT 127 Channel support
  • NEW: added OMPT Kaiser interpolation and WindowedFIR with low pass filter
  • NEW: (BETA, UNTESTED) added support for XM version <0x0104, but could not test as I am missing old FT2 XMs for that
  • NEW: more sanity checks in XM loading. Had found some very corrupted ones
  • NEW: Added ADPCM decoding for MODs, XMs, S3M and ITs - however, I am very sure that nobody is using this encoder anymore
  • NEW: added a simulation of the E00/E01 filter effect with MODs and XMs (we re- use the resonance low pass filter of ITs here...). If I ever implement an A500/A1200 Paula filter we would use that one to get a more realistic emulation
  • NEW: added FunkIt! (EFx effect) for mod files. Is that really used?!
  • NEW: added an info dialog for SID tunes (and fixed NULL-Pointer exception with non existent info panels as well - there are none now however...)
  • NEW: added support for ITs in sample mode only (flags bit 2 not set)
  • FIX: setting FineTune via effect now works also in MOD/XM
  • FIX: XM: reading periods from tables instead of on the fly calculations
  • FIX: Enhanced ProTracker 1/2 compatibility by fixing everything to make these test MODs work: https://wiki.openmpt.org/Development:_Test_Cases/MOD (many, many changes...! Let's just say tempo and sample setting is very different now - and many other things)
  • FIX: Enhanced FastTracker 2 compatibility by fixing everything to make these test MODs work: https://wiki.openmpt.org/Development:_Test_Cases/XM (many, many changes...!)
  • FIX: Vibrato, Panbrello, Tremolo fixed for MOD, XM, S3M and IT
  • FIX: Overhaul of automatic volume ramping for new instruments. Is now only done when a new tick starts (only on new row did not do the trick!) and considers now the target mixing buffer size. I don't do that like 8bitbubsy: add a new channel with a volume ramp down for the "leaving" sample and do a ramp up with the new one. Did not work for me with synthesis.mod from Rymix - still clicks...
  • FIX: As now volume ramping does work and we also have the smooth OMPT ramping over one whole tick, we must deactivate that, if a volume is set
  • FIX: no silence at beginning of play back anymore - starts instantly now
  • FIX: added tempo memory for IT tempo slides
  • FIX: S3M ignores illegal pattern break commands
  • FIX: (Smooth) Midi Macros for XMs fixed
  • FIX: Smooth midi macros initial value (lastZxxParam) must be 0x7F not 0
  • FIX: Effects Parameter Extension and smooth midi macros are swapped between XMs and ITs
  • FIX: PatternFrameDelays add up. After PatternDelay, PatternFrameDelays must be restored for ITs / S3M. With XMs we also need to process tick effects, not row effects. But fine effects (played on tick zero) must be played as well. Fixed for all XMs, ITs, S3M, MPT
  • FIX: NoteDelay need to do row effects with EFG memory
  • FIX: Registering the Mixers at the ModPatternDialog resulted in an exception when JavaMod was started on the command line. Also fixed with Headless
  • FIX: Renamed "Wide Stereo Mix" to "Surround Mix", as that is what is really done
  • FIX: Loading and displaying of a play list is now much faster
  • FIX: CommandLine did not read parameter "buffer size" correctly
  • FIX: remove effect names when play back stopped
  • FIX: muting a channel will not stop its rendering anymore
  • FIX: Playback in Pattern- and SampleDialog must respect finetune settings
  • FIX: APE files in 8Bit were set to signed samples - which is wrong
  • FIX: MP3 ICY Streams with no song name meta tag yet send will identify as "Streaming" and not pick a default name from the URL
  • FIX: On MacOS "mode.getRefreshRate" will return "REFRESHRATE_UNKNOWN" - which is 0. Thanks to MasterFlomaster1 for finding this.

New in Version 3.8

  • NEW: Implemented an automatic update check every 30 days. Disable it in the "Help" menu.
  • NEW: In the sample and instrument dialog the sample and instrument can now be played. In the instrument dialog select a note in the mapping to change the note played. In the sample dialog there is a drop down box for that
  • NEW: Added a zoom feature in the sample dialogs
  • NEW: Save location, size and visible status of pattern, sample and instrument dialogs. Buttons now alternate visibility of dialogs
  • NEW: Updated the MOD info dialog to present information more clearly
  • NEW: Pattern display now with IT effect identifiers (were always MOD/XMs)
  • NEW: Speed up pattern display by implementing a very basic toHex-function that fits for our purpose - and by reusing the StringBuilder instance.
  • NEW: Effect display in pattern dialog are now buttons so mute / unmute works there, too - enlarges the clickable area
  • NEW: if a channel is surround, the peek meter in the pattern dialog will show )))CH((( instead of (((CH)))
  • NEW: When seeking in a song, mute status is remembered
  • NEW: OpenModPlug allows to enter effect "W" with FT2 XMs, it is however empty. To avoid loading errors regarding unsupported effects, it is also "supported" as empty with JavaMod
  • NEW: His Master of Noise: StarTrecker with ID FEST: have some special FineTune setting (negate it and divide by two)
  • NEW: (internally) RandomAccessStream lost "readFully"-methods
  • NEW: added some tool tip texts
  • FIX: Arpeggio in MODs were not displayed, because effect byte is zero. However, if effect OPs are set it's an arpeggio
  • FIX: Spinners of sample / instrument dialog were - sometimes, in unreproducible scenarios - not reseted to index 0
  • FIX: Updated container configuration management. All entries were copied and stayed in .javamod.properties - even very old ones, that are not supported anymore. Also changed name of XMas decoration property, so please enable again
  • FIX: The Tremolo effect was very imprecise. Furthermore, Tremolo with ITs is already on first tick
  • FIX: The Panbrello effect was added on the current panning set. That is wrong. We now save either a panning effect value or the instrument / sample panning and work the effect on that value.
  • FIX: Panning with IT/S3M supports also Fine Panning
  • INFO:Modern trackers like Schism or OMPT share a memory with VolumeSlide and FineVolSlide with XMs - like IT does - and support weird effect combinations, e.g. start with EAx or EBx for a FineVolSlide up/down, and continue with A00. I added the support, but flagged it to false. FT2 does not do it like that, so we don't either.
  • FIX: Support empty pattern in S3M (like already in IT) and do not load garbage
  • FIX: VolRamp code was a complete mess. Now we support 5ms super smooth volRamp for XMs and others get at least 950ys. Yet, no difference between volRampUp or VolRampDown
  • FIX: RandomVolumeVariation was wrongly calculated. Based on instrument global Volume - which in most cases is 64 - and now on instrument default volume
  • FIX: Optimized the "getLengthInMilliseconds" to avoid double measurement (one after loading for the seekbar and one from the playlist for retrieving song infos)
  • FIX: PatternBreak at end of Song: do a loop and start at given row, do a fade-out if wished. Do not do so, if infinite loops are to be ignored AND don't do is as well if loop song is not checked (the latter is new).

New in Version 3.7.3

  • NEW: Supporting additional Protracker type mods
  • FIX: Tremolo fixed, added FT2-bug - speed and depth for XM and IT
  • FIX: sample delta loading with special cases

New in Version 3.7.2

  • FIX: Sample- and instrument dialog - iterating through the instruments was broken
  • NEW: Added some sanity checks with mod loading.
  • NEW: Added Mod-Files with ID !PM! - it is a ProTracker mod with delta saved samples. However, I have no idea what tracker created those.

New in Version 3.7.1

  • FIX: Error if window manager does not support tray icon. So really check for tray icon support. Would end up in a hard error, JavaMod will not start!

New in Version 3.7

  • NEW XMAS SPECIAL: Enjoy some light bulbs on your desktop. You can enable it in the view menu. Select the screen, you want to decorate and select the effects and speed per screen. Remark: it depends on the desktop render engine how transparent windows are rendered and if a "click through" works. On Windows this works really flawlessly, but on KDE it is either flickery or with OpenGL render pipeline the bulbs are somewhat half transparent.
  • NEW: Follow song in pattern dialog is now fun to watch: * The arrangement is now scrolling to the activated pattern. * In the pattern dialog horizontal scrolling by user is not reset by caret anymore. * no editing the caret (mark text) via mouse by user * Rows and channels are fixed for scrolling - and added some color (yes, a bit more gray) * channel markers are buttons for muting and have a context menu to select solo, mute and un-mute per channel * resetting to normal mute will regard muted channels with ITs (if the author wanted them to be muted) * Added sample / panning representation in channel buttons based on samples / volumes and panning in channel * Coding of colored version was deleted... It is too slow anyways. * Follow song can be switched off - however, this will only stop automatic scrolling and pattern display. If the currently watched pattern is played, the caret will fly by (though being of lightest gray) * display of current volume column effect and effect column effect * No FollowSong while exporting - except for when doing play back while exporting * upper left corner shows pattern number
  • NEW: Pattern/Sample/Instrument dialogs will disappear when a file other than a mod (e.g. mp3) is played - and reappear when a mod is played again
  • NEW: To make pattern sample/instrument data (hex values) fit to sample and instrument dialog index, changed display there to hex as well
  • NEW: In the instrument dialog you can now hop over to the sample mapped. Just click in the mapping rows on the sample of choice.
  • FIX: Look&Feel menu will now show active Look&Feel set
  • FIX: for the FIX of the FIX... With PortaToNote we did things a bit too easy regarding an instrument set. (BTW: The behavior of FT2, IT2.14, Schism and ModPlug is totally different here, which values for volume and panning reset to use.) Three things are now done: * if the current instrument is a long player (i.e. has loops), we will continue using that. If no instrument is playing, we will use the new given instrument and switch to it * but also safe the instrument set. Following notes (without instrument) will use exactly that new one. * reset panning and volume to the instrument chosen from above Check with Airborn.xm and Anthem.mod
  • FIX: PatternBreak at end of Song: do a loop and start at given row, do a fade-out if wished. Do not do so, if infinite loops are to be ignored. (fixed spelling in GUI btw...)
  • FIX: XMs: if we have a note cut, we have to store the zero volume, so a new note without an instrument set will not be audible.
  • FIX: Empty patterns with XMs and ITs are now recognized. Default empty pattern is set for display (64 default rows with ITs)
  • FIX: After loading Impulse Tracker mods reduce Patterns to real amount of channels (we reserved 64 channels in advance for filling)

New in Version 3.6

  • NEW: Shuffle play list moved from context menu to a separate button, so that the function is found.
  • NEW: Save play list moved from context menu to a separate button, so that the function is found.
  • NEW: Repeat play list is now a button with small icon, not a JCheckBox
  • NEW: Upgrade to Java 20 compatibility (new URL(..) is deprecated)
  • NEW: Follow a tracker song in pattern view. I also implemented a colored version. Did work and looked good, but is way too slow!
  • FIX: The SourceLine now has the same amount of bytes like the rendering buffer, which is set with mod play back config. Previously the SourceLine had a default amount of bytes that did not fit the rendering buffer. Made the mixer block and wait. However, you now might need to increase your milliseconds set!
  • FIX: Envelope::sanitize also needs to limit the nPoints and endPoint values to maximum possible index of the arrays of positions and values. Plus moved fix of XM positions MSB set into sanitize function.
  • FIX: fixing the FIX of 3.4 (SongName) - getSongInfosFor(URL) should NEVER alter the container singleton. Changed that in 3.4 for MIDIs using "getSongName". Result: after adding a piece to the play list, this would not play when double clicked.
  • FIX: Samples are now displayed without gap to the right (only visible with small samples), color of loop was adjusted, is not swallowed by border
  • FIX: BasicModMixer::fitIntoLoops ping pong loops were calculated a bit off as XMs need that differently to ITs... (AGAiN - FairStars MP3 Recorderkg.XM vs. TIMEAGO.IT)
  • FIX: IT Compatibility: Ensure that there is no pan swing, panbrello, panning envelopes, etc. applied on surround channels.
  • FIX: If looping is selected and forced on a song, we need to do a complete reset on all and everything.

New in Version 3.5

  • FIX: PortaToNote: if an instrument is set, that was ignored, as FT2.09 does it. Fix for the fix: (re-)set a NEW instrument, but do nothing when instrument does not change.
  • FIX: Powerpacked MODs were not correctly read at all circumstances
  • FIX: CommandLine: missing break statement. Setting volume fell through to default, which throws an exception
  • FIX: CommandLine stayed in an endless loop even after piece finished
  • FIX: CommandLine did not end in case of a RuntimeException
  • FIX: CommandLine: supports 32 Bit now, as GUI does
  • FIX: Error in ModConfigPanel::setLoopValue defaulted loop to 0
  • FIX: setting balance and volume did not work as source line is not present first. Re-set later was unintentionally ignored
  • FIX: reading # of Samples at XMs as unsigned word, 0xFFFF will not be interpreted as -1. That is bad
  • FIX: If a mod is looping, time code is reset

New in Version 3.4

  • NEW: Added Farandole (*.FAR) support (no idea, why... Maybe, because I could). FAR-Files are mapped to S3M, makes things easy. However, slides are not perfect, yet
  • NEW: Added MultiTrakker support (*.MTM), because I have some of those. So why not? They are mapped to ProTracker / XM Modules
  • FIX: added NULL-Pointer checks and clearing sample/instrument/pattern-dialogs, because Farandole in S3M leaves patterns and samples empty
  • FIX: All multimedia files relying on MultimediaContainer::getSongNameFromURL need the URL updated in the BaseContainer - is now done. Flaw was probably only visible with MIDIs
  • FIX: SIDMixer must not implemented setMillisecondposition. Wav-Export of File does not work.
  • FIX: RandomAccessFile wants to read beyond end of file
  • FIX: Exporting to wave would leave a thread running when encountering an exception
  • FIX: PortaToNote: if an instrument is set, that was ignored, as FT2.09 does it. Fixed it, as new trackers also do not ignore it, and new compositions relay on that.
  • FIX: Playlist - as we use a HTML Table for representation we need to masquerade all HTML special characters - not only spaces

New in Version 3.3

  • IMPORTANT: as JDK 8 LTS support will be over in two years (security) and normal support is already over, JavaMod is now using JDK 17 (LTS). As the compile level changed, you must use JDK 17 to run JavaMod!
  • NEW: Replaced Wide Stereo with a real virtual surround
  • FIX: Legacy ModPlug Tracker (1.17RC2 and lower) files have correct volume now. I did things too easy!
  • FIX: iconify and deIconify fixed so that with tray icon entry in task bar is gone
  • FIX: MP3: added "Info" tag to "Xing" tag to read as CBR

New in Version 3.2

  • FIX: Sustain-Loop and normal Loop not correctly differed in BasicModMixer::fitIntoLoops. Resulted in a Devision by Zero, if sustain loop present, but no normal loop
  • FIX: refactoring of BasicModMixer::fitIntoLoops to be more precise, especially with interpolation magic at loops. Plus ping pong loops optimized
  • FIX: Impulse Tracker Mods, saved by OpenModPlug, were often identified as legacy Modplug Tracker files with then wrong settings in global volume and preamp. New ModPlug-Songs were played fare to silent then
  • FIX: End of envelopes now correctly identified, count of active NNAs, that are not active anymore, does not explode anymore
  • FIX: volume column effects for IT and XM re-factored, many fixes on ImpulseTracker
  • FIX: s3m load volume column as panning, if above 128
  • FIX: also stm and s3m (with IT Compatmode OFF) share Porta memories now (like IT did already)
  • FIX: Calculating steps for sample data iteration exceeded integer for high sample rates at base frequency (ImpulseTracker). Switched to long
  • FIX: loading of volume envelopes with old instruments (CmwT<0x200). Did not skip 200 bytes of pre calculated volume envelope data. Is now loaded, but not used (we could also skip those...)
  • FIX: Log.debug (instead of Log.info) for missing effects
  • FIX: When a MOD was playing, changing MOD sample rate, channels, bits also changed current audio line, even though e.g. mp3 is playing. Not healthy for play back if the global line is cut away during playing (BTW: same for SIDs)
  • FIX: Instrument set, but no note - with XMs/ITs lookup in mapping resulted in Exception
  • FIX: Iconified and deiconified with system tray should now work with Linux (KDE) as well
  • FIX: Icons (Tray and GUI) keep aspect ratio now
  • NEW: added Fine Midi Macros
  • NEW: added MidiMacros to XM
  • NEW: added sanitize of envelope data, optimized envelope processing
  • NEW: Loading is much faster now. Provided RandomAccessStreamImpl with a buffer so reading and seeking is done on the buffer. Using a buffer of 8K currently.
  • NEW: Screen refresh rate is now considered to define refresh FPS of LED Scroller, peak meter, update panel, etc.
  • NEW: MegaBass implementation changed to the last one of Olivier Lapicque from ModPlug Tracker. I like that mega bass :) Doing so we moved also other DSP modifications to the new separate class ModDSP
  • NEW: added DC removal and made it configurable
  • NEW: added additional command line parameters

New in Version 3.1

  • FIX: Pattern/Sample/Instrument dialogs should only be created, if parent JDialog is present. Otherwise these will never get destroyed
  • INITIAL GITHUB RELEASE

New in Version 3.0

  • FIX: IT set global volume: normalize to 0x80 for non-IT Mods
  • FIX: MP3 info panel: Label "Duration" is "Bit Rate"
  • FIX: Detailed progress bar while export did not restart properly
  • FIX: Exported MP3, FLAC, WAV,... in chunks * did not stop exactly at end position but at end of chunk * MP3: counting samples now, recalculating milliseconds from that (previously added milliseconds send to buffer, which is not accurate)
  • FIX: Export file name generation allowed illegal characters
  • UNFIX FIX: pattern break with row index stays in last pattern now, but only if "ignore loop" is not checked
  • FIX: Playlist numbering - amount of leading zeros
  • FIX: Display samples without SampleInterpolationLookAheads
  • FIX: SampleInterpolationLookAhead with stereo samples

New in Version 2.9

  • FIX: saving a relativized path into a playlist failed on Linux. Here a file path is case sensitive!
  • FIX: some ROL songs did not load properly
  • FIX: Skipping at end of ROL leaded to mixed up mixers
  • FIX: loading a playlist of ROLs, last file in list was played, not the highlighted one
  • FIX: Technical song info for FLAC
  • FIX: APE TAG in Footer - loading failed due to wrong file pointer calculation
  • FIX: Pattern Delay and Tick Delay for IT fixed - no other effects are replayed in this combination. Schism 17.it did not test that
  • FIX: pattern break with row index stays in last pattern now, but only if "ignore loop" is not checked
  • FIX: Loading XMs with no samples for instruments, reset defaults then
  • FIX: Many wrong settings with S7x Effects - those need to be temporary! (Blue Flame.IT -- thanks for the hint, David)
  • Added technical song info for MP3 and APE
  • Optimized the ParentDialog setting for the mod info panel
  • Supporting OPL2, Dual OPL2 and OPL3 in DRO correctly now. Do not try OPL3 DRO with OPL2 Emulation - you will receive an error
  • Dual OPL2 and OPL3 work with Virtual Stereo now, no virtual stereo for mono OPL2
  • supporting ProTracker STK file now - are like STM

New in Version 2.8

  • fixed NullPointer when deleting whole playlist and adding new entries
  • Clean Up: moved all mod constants from class Helper to new class ModConstants. Unused conversion methods in class Helper were documented out
  • ModFileInputStream and RandomAccessStream cleaned up
  • added OPL3 support
    • added OPL3.java from Robson Cozendey
    • moved it to "de.quippy.opl3" package inside the project
    • enabled reuse by removing statics - subclasses receive "their" own OPL3 instance
    • added switch statement "case off" in getEnvelope
    • Volume of TomTom, Snare, Cymbals, high hats and base drum raised (dirty hack! Needs introspection!)
  • added/removed FMOPL 0.37a from Tatsuyuki Satoh (Java-Port)
    • updated to FMOPL 0.72 from Jarek Burczynski (& Tatsuyuki Satoh) from the M.A.M.E Project
    • no Y8950 support (yet)
    • no call back support for listeners - not needed here
  • added support for rol, laa, cmf, dro, sci by migration of mid.cpp, dro[2].cpp and rol.cpp from adplug project + effekter.c from own (very old) ROL project

New in Version 2.7.1

  • The OPL3 support was already implemented - but as pure beta yet not activated, Release because:
  • fixed: nasty NullPointerException when pattern, sample and instrument dialog have never been opened yet and switching back from other media file then mod. They get initialized then to get the loaded information data, but the ModInfoPanel is not yet added to its JFrame so: no RootPane at that moment.

New in Version 2.7

  • added second detail progress bar with wav export or playlist copy
  • fixed update of playlist for songname and duration blocking whole UI (Things in EventQueue.invokeLater should't take long... learned something)
  • fixed possible null-pointer when closing stream
  • fixed possible null-pointer in wave display at stream end
  • fixed note fade and key off, when mod has only samples
  • fixed creation of two AudioProcessors. One is enough! This resulted in a NullPointerException as the outputbuffer was deleted - one Thread was informed, the second did not know about this and ran into a nullpointer...
  • fixed loading error in S3M / IT parapointers loaded as shorts - results in negative seeking values in big songs (>0x8000 is negative as short - and stays negative when converted to integer)
  • fixed Protracker / XM Fine VolSlide - forgot to check borders (was there once, was gone... Oo)
  • fixed and optimized NNA: using a silent channel per default is not a good idea. Now also considering instruments being far beyond vol envelope end. Copied channel is stopped now.
  • fixed / optimized seeking and time measurement of mod files. GUI loading is much faster now, because time measurement is faster. This has a drawback: seeking without rendering samples will keep sample and envelope pointers at default. That can cause unwanted artifacts - but none were heard yet.
  • fixed swingVolume for IT: uses instrument global volume as reference. MPT uses the current channel volume
  • added resonance and cut off swing, but yet MPT extended instruments are not loaded - so far this is dead code
  • stereo samples with S3Ms are supported now
  • recognition of openModPlug and ModPlug for IT-Mods added
  • PreAmp and attenuation optimized - considering OMPT
  • added song restart for XMs and ProTracker inclusive sanity checks
  • added "Loop song" switch to avoid looping with ProTracker and XM Mods due to song restart
  • Effects-Panel has new switch: useGaplessAudio (I gave up!) Linux bug with AudioOutput: if the playback buffer drains (either because of "drain" or "flush" or if it runs dry) next input is crippled. See try in fixing this in comments below (V2.6) This means loading of next piece should never take longer than the buffer has sound to play. Use high buffers (>200ms) to avoid this. Alternatively deactivate the gapless audio in effect panel
  • added display dialogs for mods: pattern data, samples and instruments They are reachable by pressing the buttons in the mod info dialog box

New in Version 2.6

  • fixed icon size in tray icon
  • save selected SA-Meter visual style
  • fixed a playback issue if hardware buffers are smaller then the mixing buffer
  • fixed (hopefully) swing gui errors from playlist
  • fix for KDE Bugs in Drag&Drop with wrongly encoded URLs
  • fix with GaplessAudioStream - it's now really gapless.
  • Fix for issue with JDK >1.8 (tested JDK11, JDK14) on Linux: re-using a SourceDataLine after line.flush() or line.drain() results in crippled sound. Environment: OpenJDK(11|14) on OpenSuse 15.(1|2) with PulseAudio. Does not occure under windows
  • Midi playback: added support for SF2 SoundFont files
  • fixed loading of S3Ms with adlib instruments (do not try to load sampledata!!)
  • added a sound hardware information box
  • enabled 32-Bit mixing with mods - output 32 bit possible (only if sound hardware supports it - is not checked in advance)
  • integrated dithering and noise-shift for reduction in bit depth - primary noticeable with 8Bit playback
  • vast improvement / speed up on time measurement (length of song) - still not optimal yet (da geht noch was!)
  • linear table support XM and especially in ITs now fully implemented (porta 2 note, porta,(extra) fine porta, autovibrato, vibrato)
  • added New Note Actions for IT (YES!) This was not easy in Java as copying a channel by re-assigning pointers like in C is not possible here We need to copy all relevant data to a separate channel.
  • Hence also Duplicate Checks added
  • Therefore needed to redevelop all volume envelope handling and to support note_cut, note_fade and key_off. Now completely working for IT and XMs with all differences
  • Plus rewrite of envelope looping code (differ between IT and XM)
  • Resonance Filter is now working for cut off frequencies and resonance values. On and Off works as intended
  • introduced Z00-Z7F and Z80-ZFF (cutOff and resonance set) for ITs Therefore midi makros are now introduced (loaded or set to default) No further midi support yet
  • Added pitch pan separation
  • added loading of song texts from ITs and XMs
  • added global volume, mixing volume, panning, random panning/volume variation
  • rewrote note and instrument settings completely. FT2.09 && IT2.14 compatible (and Protracker & Scream Tracker compatible as well - of course)
  • Mixing does not need to complete sampling a whole tick anymore. We mix till buffers are full and continue at that point
  • Stereo sample support added
  • Player_Abuse_Tests (https://github.com/schismtracker/schismtracker/wiki/Player-abuse-tests) are all working now --> 100% IT2.14 compatible. At least with those.
  • Looping samples needed some re-write (had mistakes with pingpong anyways)
  • Interpolation optimized with real effort - however it seems, that the old Laissez-faire way was quite enough...
  • added Period borders for S3M (Amiga-Limits)
  • fixed glissando
  • several other small bug fixes in playback

New in Version 2.5

  • fixed Volume Slide in s3m impulse- and fasttracker - boy what a mess!
  • added *2/3 table for Qxy in Fasttracker Mods
  • Retrig note memory reseted to zero with Q00 instead of keeping memory
  • Retrig starts on tick Zero!

  • changing virtual stereo during playback is fixed

New in Version 2.4

  • radio header encoding is translated by ISO-8859-1 and not UTF-8
  • radio stream description is now displayed as well

  • masking of illegal character in URLs (like white spaces) is done automatically
  • mp3-streaming was recognized through HTTP / against FILE protocol. That is not correct - streaming is now recognized by contentlength==-1 (this might also fail though...)
