Deckadance 1.04/1.05

- Big source code reorganisation and cleanup:
 

  * Bughunt and performance tuning with Intel Thread Checker and Intel VTune software.

  * Some potential threading issues solved.

  * Source code simplified: now a single DirectWave object class inherints the
     polymorphism of VST plugin, OLE Drag & Drop target.

- Small bugfix: disk recorded default path was set to ../disk_recorder/record instead

  record.wav (was missing extension).

- New remote device: Kontrol DJ. (Directly USB supported via official SDK).

- Nag demo sound periodicity set to 3 minutes.

- Remote controller output feedback thread and USB input polling devices are moved

  now to a dedicated controller thread. (yet another one).

- Rewritten and better integrated OLE Drag & Drop support, with some bug fixes on the way.

- Beatmarkers in the peakscope made more prominent.

- Deprecated support for Hercules DJ Console Mp3 Light output feedback,

  and for some good reasons:
 

  * Made Deckadance to require DX8 in client (customer) machine.

  * Made Deckadance source code require full huge DX8 SDK rand even

     WinSock2 libraries to be compiled, therefore: no crossplatform.

  * Lights output caused total unit halt under certain circustances anyway after

     a while (unknown reason).

  * Made Deckadance crash / or heap corrupt at DI8 enumerating in Fred's

     computer (and probably many others).

  * All this crap was just to flash on or off the LIGHTING leds.

  * It's not even for support control, wich still works via normal MIDI, and as native device.

  * The unit is not supported/selling by Hercules anymore.

  * It's outdated. Use Mk2, is way better and led lights are nicer and works nicely too.

  * We'll keep it as native controller for nostalgy, it's just leds wont be supported.

  * Made Fred and me lost an invaluable time of debugging =) to find it's an imposssible to solve bug.

- Flipped peakscope.

- Eq killers working -72 dB.

- Added slow decoder/analyzer threads mode (recommended for single core systems).

- Track beatmark log (beatmarks.log in deckadance installation directory).

- Fixed VST host not closing plugin's editor properly when on re-instancing.

- Fixed lame bug that caused all OGG Vorbis files to load mono.

- Demo sound wont sound at the startup of the program but 2 minutes later, and then

  periodicity is set to 3 minutes.

- Misc. bugfixes and improvements.

Deckadance 0.87

- New instant mono-8-bit microsampler (vinyl/ext page). Self-record and trigger decka

  output in the fly (max 12 seconds@44100).

- New vinyl control timecode speed 'calibration' learn. vinyl/ext page).

- Serato vinyl switch removed (useless since the timecode-speed-learn mode).

- New generic midi controls for the microsampler functionality.

- BCD2000 native microsampler control (wrapped on talkover and on-air buttons) w/led feedback.

- Changed BPM detector to slower adaption speed.

- Beat jump controls for Hercules Mk1 and Mk2. (<|> buttons).

- Beat jump controls now jumps the selected number of loop beats in remote devices.

- Fixed small graphical glitch with vinyl control enabled (in deck transport play button status display).

Deckadance 0.86

- Fixed a nasty denormal processing bug in the echo-bus section that caused a global

  performance slowdown (as echo is an -always running- send effect)

- Corrected CPU usage performance measurement (QueryPerformanceCounter() used now

  instead rtdsc, wich is buggy on Athlons, multicore cpu's etc).

- More optimizations.

Deckadance 0.85

- Huge performance boost due to heavy optimizations in the audio rendering system.

- New pitchshifting / timestretching algorithm.

- Fixed deck-seek retriggering issue if moving mouse vertically.

- MP3 decoding performed now with MAD sources.

- robust, quicker, faster, harder, stronger mp3 decoding.

- loading system completelly revised:

  * no more weird "seek rewind" bar while decoding files.

  * no more weird peak-rebuilding after decoding files.

  * deck decoder not longer blocks the other one deck's decoder worker thread.

     CM required to wait until completion. In short words: you can load both tracks at once.

  * optimized memory usage in mp3 decoding.

- proper WAV loading/support for decks.

- faster polling of exs xp-10 state, playlist automixer function and remote devices output feedback.

- spectroscope view deck b vumeters are now flipped down.

- fixed: drag & drop item hidden at the bottom.

- added deck "key-lock" mode (phase vocoder based). When engaged pitch and

  tempo of a deck can be indendently tweaked.

- added deck "key" shift control (in cents, -999 to +999).

- completed EKS-XP10 support for all controller buttons (looping, loop + leap, sync, relooper pads).

- vst plugins initialized correctly (resume() wasnt called).

- enhanced vst hosting window resizing support, fixed vst names, properly labeled

  window titlebar captions).

- corrected mouse wheel support for playlist anb browser.

- new tempo display.

- scratch cursor set when mouse hovering the vinyl turntables in the vinyl control tab.

- setup: "config" and "about" buttons in setup are disabled if no winamp plugins are found.

- new designed, enhanced filters:

- 4 stage biquad (-12dB per stage).

  * lowpass / highpass / bandpass / notch : -48dB per octave.

  * eq ctrl: from -36dB to +12dB (0.0dB middle).

  * eq kill: -48 dB shelf.

  * eq freq: (lo)100/(hi)1000/(hi)10000 hz.

- bcd2000: the deck that goes "ahead" in time respect to the other deck get

  flashed in the top "beat" leds.

- bcd2000: fixed problem with deck effect selector going out of bounds

  (was attempting to select an eighth unexistent one).

- bcd2000: support for monitor deck crossfader and monitor l/r split.

- enhanced wave graph displays, shading peak magnitude.

- minihost improvements enhancing support for IL juce pack vst's and other plugins aswell.

- added: monitor control pfl crossfader.

- added: monitor control pfl channel split switch.

- added: monitor control pfl level.

- added: crossfader curvature control.

- added: crossfader "reversed-mode" switch.

- added: crossfader alternate "linear-mode" switch.

- added: midi controls for all pfl/crossfader settings.

- etc...
