🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Keep regression checks active in Release builds.
When NDEBUG is defined, each assert(...) expression is removed. test_patch_bank then exits successfully without calling _WM_get_patch_data(). Replace assert with an explicit failure path.

Thanks @psi29a. The instrument bug and volume are fixed. It doesn't hold past the end anymore in .sf2 which is better, but the note is still too long compared to eawpats, the descending triplet at 38s in |

@afritz1 give this branch a try again? Here is the result plus your original: |
|
Rebuilt and tested SUNNYDAY.XMI. It's pretty quiet now, I see you had to use 8.0f as the divisor. The descending triplet is the same as before, holding until the end when it should actually just be a second or two? In the DOSBox version of Arena which uses default Windows MIDI, those three notes are omitted. I get the feeling this is more of an art than a science. |
|
@afritz1 just got back from holiday. :) Give this one a try? Found that src/f_xmidi.c just drops zero-length note-offs So a note whose stored duration is 0 is invisible to the countdown and never gets a note-off. It hangs until the next note-on for the same key happens to release it. SUNNYDAY.XMI has six such notes. 😱 (bonus, apparently the same problem exists for HMI) |

This version sounds the most pleasing overall. The triplet is essentially absent which is fine. I have no idea if the composer wanted those zero length notes to even be audible. |

Alright, merged. |

Four separate defects, one regression and three gaps in the SF2 path.
Wrong eawpats instruments (regression since 0.5.0). 6c40712 replaced the
bank-0 fallback in
_WM_get_patch_data()with a nearest-program search insidethe requested bank. A non-zero bank in a timidity.cfg is a sparse overlay
(eawpats'
bank 8defines one program,drumset 8one note), so everyundefined program resolved to that overlay's single unrelated instrument
instead of bank 0. gravis.cfg has only bank 0, hence the reporter's workaround.
Resolution order is now exact-in-bank, exact-in-bank-0, nearest-in-bank-0.
The unknown-bank fallback SMAF relies on (Yamaha banks 0x7c+) is preserved.
SF2 clipped at full scale.
_WM_SF2_Render()usedtsf_render_short(),which clamps to int16 itself, then summed at unity gain. It now renders float
and scales before the conversion, using the same 4.0 headroom divisor as the
GUS mixer.
WildMidi_MasterVolume()andWM_MO_LOG_VOLUMEdid nothing. Master volumeis applied in the render gain. CC7/CC11 now go through wildmidi's own curves
instead of tsf's cubic default; the MIDI2 dB table reduces to
(v/127)^2, sono table is needed.
WildMidi_SetOption()re-applies on a mid-playback toggle.Notes held past the end.
_WM_do_meta_endoftrack()released MAFM voicesbut never SF2 ones, so a score ending on a held note sustained until the render
loop's 10s tail cap.
Measured on SUNNYDAY.XMI with GeneralUser-GS:
-m 40 / 100 / 127-lAdds
