Hello, I'm a MIDI lover.

I have a request, but I would like you to implement WRD, which was created a long time ago as a lyrics display system for the PC-9800 series. (Although it was also used for other purposes)
Is it possible to implement MIDI OUT at the same time?
I want to use the nostalgic SC-88Pro.
Is there some documentation about WRD?

MIDI OUT has been requested on GitHub. I am intrigued by the idea but when I started prototyping I ran into a design problem: the Windows API to talk to the MIDI interface requires a different way of receiving the messages. It will require a lot of rework and I don't have the time for that right now.

It was originally a unique lyrics display system for NEC-DOS software called MIMPI, but due to its excellence, it has been implemented in other freeware.
(There are also other extended WRDs such as SherryWRD (extended for Windows) and "演出くんメカ" (extended for MS-DOS))

Since the WRD file itself is a text file, it is probably possible to implement it if it follows the text file specifications.
WRD also requires decompression of reversible image compression used in Japan called MAG.

I think it may be difficult, but it is part of the history of MIDI, so I would appreciate it if you could implement it.

I had a long look at the format and what little documentation I could find. Implementing the whole spec is beyond the scope of foo_midi. It is not a sequencer. I'll see if I can convert the lyrics to a LYRICS tag but that's as far as I would like to go.

General - (fb2k) / Select folder in Library view by clicking row?
Last post by EAX -
Probably a silly request, but it's really bothering me.
Let me show you with a picture as I don't know how to describe it without it.

In the following image, if you click inside the red box, nothing happens, my folders are not selected.

This is not happening in older version of Foobar2000, like in the following image clicking inside the green box, you can select that "row".
X

Is there any option to change this?

@Case

Normal 44/16 files I scan with 1600x speed without LUFS-S/M, and 1000x speed with LUFS-S/M.
Is it normal to see such a drop in performance?

DVD-A iso  I scan with 500x speed without LUFS-S/M. When I enable LUFS-S/M scanning is deadslow ... I cannot even complete the scan.
How come?

EDIT: SACD iso 45x without LUFS-S/M to 8x with LUFS-S/M.

Compression -4 may be pretty good with a clang compile but high compression and multithreaded stress should be clearly faster with GCC builds.


Ok, i didn't try that.. but luckily, all others do it here. I choose compression "-4" based on the charts and own tests yeeeeeears ago, all resting compression steps ceased to exist for me, i forgot them completely.. and that continues to this day.
But I understand that the code here should primarily be tested under stress conditions of higher compression, where the changes are more pronounced.

I love this so much! Thanks for all your work on this (and other components) @Case.

After running DR Meter on an album, I see this:


Would it be possible to get all this data written to tags or to a log file (or both)?

Ah. So you have just improved a criterion of the following kind:
"This predictor vector cannot possibly create any too big residual from a history of N-bit samples, so we can save time by bypassing the size checks that we are mathematically sure it would anyway pass"?
Yes, that is correct.

Couple of issues trying this here today.

Firstly, right clicking on the Milkdrop window instantly crashes Foobar (bug report sent).

Secondly, changing the default preset folder in the Advanced Preferences doesn't stick. Change it, hit Apply, OK, then go back to the same setting and it changes itself back to the default: C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000-v2\milkdrop2\presets\
