[LAU] Status of lisalo/lisaloQt and calfbox?

[Jonathan E Brickman]

Greetings, Len.  The creator of calfbox suggested I look at this file:

sampler_api_example2.py

which can be seen in the git repo here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/calfbox.git/blob/HEAD:/sampler_api_example2.py

My impression has become, that calfbox is probably a very nice Python 
toolkit by which one can build applets to do a number of musical things, 
including build a live synth using SFZ instruments.  This thought is 
analogous to mididings, which is indeed a very nice Python toolkit by 
which one can build applets to do a number of MIDI conversions, 
combinations, and other renobulations of many sorts.  I have not tried 
calfbox yet, but do use mididings regularly, and am looking forward to 
some careful experimentation; I am trying to build a very dense Strings 
instrument for my synth box ( http://lsn.ponderworthy.com ), and 
although the 14-item LinuxSynth setup I have right now sounds great for 
a second or two of note-hold, one hears increasing spits and pops and 
static after more hold even on one note.
