Re: [LAD] Rendering Softsynth Instruments To Sample Based Instruments - Automation

Thanks to everyone who replied! @Gordon MM0YEQ I believe you may be slightly mistaken about this. Sample-based apps like Linuxsampler take only a fraction of the CPU usage of many modeled pianos or softsynths. The difference is so huge, that while I've been using Linuxsampler on stage successfully for quite some time now, there is no way I can even think of using Bristol or Yoshimi (given my cpu and background process context, of course) in a live context. OTOH, the built-in sounds of most digital pianos/ROMplers can only boast of 4 velocity layers, lots of compression, looping artefacts, and only a subset of 88 notes being sampled... and these are the boards that professional musicians are using live! Even in terms of expression, my approach would still result in a sample that's head and shoulders above (almost) any built-in sound out there... so I can live with that ;) . @Philipp Thanks for the encouragement! I had just about begun scripting, using Mididings (which BTW is extremely flexible and powerful... I highly recommend it). The idea was to have each 'note on' and 'note off' event start and end a recording, with filenames having the note number & velocity in them. But then...

I'm glad that I asked on this list.. it saved me quite a bit of effort (and I must pay more attention to LAU in the future...) I'm checking it out right now. Thanks once again! Cheers, Guru
