v1.5.0

Changes

• MIDI import:
  • There are now more options for the velocity of long notes:
    • Fixed velocity: set a fixed value (or percent) to all trailing notes;
    • Fade-out: gradually decreasing velocity values.
  • Allow applying the stereo effect to trailing notes. Absolute panning values are gradually increasing;
  • Panning and microtone changes in the middle of a long MIDI note are now reflected in the imported trailing notes.
• Add a new tool "apply pixel art":
  • Insert an image as silent notes to replicate the pixel-art effect, especially for setting thumbnail when uploading songs to Note Block World;
  • The image may be scaled down but never be scaled up;
  • The image's aspect ratio will be kept;
  • Only utilize vanilla instruments to mimic colors, thus only 16 colors are available;
• MIDI to note block instrument mapping is now adapted from the @u3002 mapping table (https://gist.github.com/u3002/cf4daa83bc82b5917fc86fb23815578a) for better conversion.

Technical Changes

• Updated dependencies.

Bugfixes

• Fix the tool/operation applying not stopping when an error occurs.
• Fix spin boxes accepting non-digit characters and allowing out-of-range values.
• Fix the program crashing on Windows 7 32-bit.

v1.4.0

Changes

• Allow to export to Impulse Tracker format (.it files) (d0be094);
  • Audio samples are saved as uncompressed, normalized, 16-bit, single-channel data;
  • A sample is mapped to an instrument;
  • One empty sample and an empty instrument are added to fix the weird pitch shifting of the last sample;
  • The attached message is not written because I'm lazy;
  • Due to limitations of the Impulse Tracker format:
    • Most of the text fields are truncated to 26 characters, except channel names, which are limited to 20 characters;
    • A note may not have its volume, panning, and pitch applied because the .it format only has a volume column and an effect column
    • If the length of a song is more than 40000 ticks, the rest of the song will not be saved;
  • It seems like different programs play the exported file differently. Notably, the sample pitch is sometimes shifted.
• Add a new tool: apply layer properties, such as volume and panning, to each note (d1d4b0e).

Technical Changes

• Updated dependencies.
• Add logging to the program, which should enable easier debugging.

Bugfixes

• Fixed long notes in MIDI importing didn't work well with overlapping notes (85ecc43)
• Fixed MIDI importing broken when duration importing is disabled (dfb8fe0)
• Fixed wrong note pannings when converting from .mcsp2 to .nbs (d08e1d8)
• Attempted to fix ffmpeg binaries not found on Windows although they exist (#10, 911a3dd)

v1.3

Changes

• Add tempo changes supports to the MIDI exporting feature (f14fe7c);
• Skip missing layers and custom instruments data when opening .nbs files (5aaf305).
• Add lyrics support to the datapack export feature (for my personal use).

Technical Changes

• Updated dependencies.

Bugfixes

• Fixed IndexError when exporting some .nbs files to MIDI files (#6, 4a32825)
• Fixed JSON import not working (4a32825)

v1.2

Changes

• Add MIDI import feature (#4, 56f5446)
  • Only MIDI type 1 is tested;
  • Support importing note velocity, note panning and note fine-pitch;
  • Allow importing MIDI notes as multiple successive fading-out NBS notes;
  • Can automatically expand distance between notes to fit as many note as possible (like MuseScore import);
• Add JSON import feature for educational purposes (#4, 09139fe);
  • JSON files are validated using jsonschema library;
• MuseScore importing will now accept MuseScore 4 files (f217b11);
  • MuseScore importing is now deprecated and will be removed in upcoming releases (91ea05b);
• Add additional control change messages when exporting to MIDI (91ea05b).

Technical Changes

• Updated dependencies;
• Improved code quality a bit.

Bugfixes

• Fixed export dialogs not asking save path of untitled files (4fa4b97);
• Fixed audio export not working if data of the exporting song doesn't have enough layers (32ca348);
• Fixed incorrect panning value was written when saving NBS files (09139fe);
• Fix incorrect tempo when exporting to MIDI files (2128e22).

v1.1

Changes

• Available on both Windows (32 and 64 bit) and Linux (64 bit)
• Add JSON exporting for education purposes
• Support opening .mcsp2 files
  • .mcsp2 is the file format of the latest version of Minecraft Song Planner,
    the ancestor of Note Block Studio.
• Add audio exporting
  • Powered by the nbswave library;
  • Supported formats: wav, mp3, ogg and flac;
  • Show a warning if the currently exporting song has instruments with missing
    sound files or if ffmpeg is not found.

Technical Changes

• Updated dependencies
• implement a lyrics parser, which is currently unused
• Use Nuitka instead of PyInstaller to build executable and pack program

Bugfixes

• Fixed incorrect song length and incorrect notes' positions when exporting to datapack
• Fixed classic files not saved correctly
• Fixed MuseScoreImportDialog throwing error when cancel selecting files
• Fixed an error causing "Treat percussions as an instrument" option to be always True
