IIWU Synth v0.0.3, June 25th 2001

- the audio driver and device name can now by given on the command
  line.

- new shell commands for the iiwusynth: sfonts (lists the loaded
  soundfonts), load (loads a soundfont), inst (list the instruments of
  a soundfont), mstat (midi statistics).

- fixed timing jitter in the midi player

- the out-of-tune problem should be largely fixed. The wavetable phase
  is now coded as a 64-bits fixed floating point number.

- Cubic hermite interpolation (other interpolations are coded but not
  used by default). The interpolation uses a lookup table for the
  interpolation coefficients, which yields a great performance
  improvement.

- iiwusynth is now also available as a jMax package!

- iiwusynth can now load several SoundFonts

- reverb is coded in and running by default.



IIWU Synth v0.0.2, May 26th 2001

- iiwusynth now uses a very simple interpreter. You can now change the
MIDI programs and banks, print out the available instruments, and
more. Readline support is available.

- OSS midi and audio are now supported

- Better support of the drum channel (MIDI track 10, starting from 1,
or 9, starting from 0)

- Pitch bend is supported

- The synthesizer now uses a simple voice stealing algorithm.

- Soundfonts with ROM samples are now loaded so you can still use the
available presets. 

- Fixed a bug printing error messages (gerr; thanks Josh)

- Fixed a divide by zero in the filter (ugh!).

- Fixed a bug in the midifile reader



IIWU Synth v0.0.1, May 22nd 2001

- First release
