Message-ID: <36EC82E93EB0AD40A4301DAD6543238677CA4B771C@mail.midverk.is>

Hi,

Gervill now has a project page at java.net:

  http://gervill.dev.java.net/

Version 0.5 has also just been released,  and can be downloaded here:
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=175084&package_id=246500&release_id=553303

 - New instruments in Emergency Soundbank:
          * Acoustic Grand Piano
          * Bright Acoustic Piano
          * Honky-tonk Piano
          * Guitar
          * Distortion Guitar
          * Trumpet
          * Trombone
          * Brass Section
          * Horn
          * Sax
          * Oboe
          * Bassoon
          * Clarient
          * Flute
          * Timpani
          * Melodic Toms
          * Reverse Cymbal
          * Orch Hit
  - Faster Linear Interpolation
    with no float to int casting.
  - LargeSoundBankReader removed,
    Loading soundbank in large mode using urls removed.
  - Soundbank aren't loaded into memory
    until loadInstrument/loadAllInstrument
    is called in SoftSynthesizer.
    This enable loading only single instrument
    from soundbank collection into memory.
  - New "large mode" property added to SoftSynthesizer.
  - "getInstrument" method in DLS/SF2/SimpleSoundbank
    now returns ordered list by program,bank,percussion.
  - Fix AccessControlException in "SoftSynthesizer.getDefaultSoundbank",
    which occurred when using SoftSynthesizer in Applets.

regards,
Karl Helgason

the emergency soundbank is a great idea! Though we should still
try to find a way to download on demand a "real" soundbank. For
the sake of audio fidelity...
