[linux-audio-user] Is there interrest in a (near) perfect piano for tiMIDIty for composing music ?

by Roel de Wit

Hi, Currently we are working on a cross-platform and multi format commercial GM/GS soundset named Project Portability (code-name).. We're also going to release an extremly realistic grand piano soundfont for Audigy (2) soundcards.. Currently we are determining whether or not to make a special tiMIDIty version. So I'd like to know if there interrest in the Linux community for such a product ? Details of the soon to be ready v0.2 beta version (Audigy (2) only under Windows at the moment): - Between 180 and 220 MB of 48 Khz 16 bit stereo samples sampled from a real piano. These are samples of 5 velocity layers of the piano. - 127 velocity layers. - Perfectly natural piano behaviour and sound. Some MP3 recordings of the v0.1 release can be found at http://project-portability.foad.nl .. These are dry (no reverb) recordings without any post-processing applied to them.. Any comments would be appreciated. --- Roel / Utopia Sound Division http://www.utopiasd.com

But that looks more like Elvis's mansion than a rolls royce. Please don't be offended, but it just looks gaudy. The right 3D look can be dynamic. I constantly tweek (just to use an example) KDE with 3D buttons and Mid-Green-Metalic colors and fonts to the point where it's very easy to see everything _and_ very modern looking. And this is why I mention earlier about Linux apps looking as good as the screen shots. I forgot how much time I put into getting all the button, fonts and metalic colors right that it's reflected in the programs I run in KDE.

Yea and what about the appeal for the person who's "on the fence" about coming over to linux. It can't hurt to have a good looking interface. >The knob in question was rendered in several frames such that it could >turn a complete revolution, which unfortunately takes lots of memory :( >so I'm not so sure these types of graphics are really usable... I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how someone creates an image in gimp (and then) how the program uses it. But with some frames being transparent and others one's being stable, I've gotten a lot out of animations with little memory. I hope this applies...

And I'm taken interest in you post because I have spent some time with gimp when I got into my web site management class. I would be open to helping with graphics if anyone wants to talk to me about a project that need graphics.

Being (still somewhat) new to all this, I'm not sure if this is off limits. But I will take a chance. I want to say that SuSE has proven to be a really exellent distrob for Multimedia. And it has consistantly delivered what it promises (when you install a program, it useually works right). Any problems I've had running programs have come from lack of experience. Did I just start a Religious war with that statement? > You may need to install >the odd extra package but nothing that isn't on the SuSE CDs. <CHOP-CHOP> Great information. I guess you've helped "soften me up" about the biggest part of trying out new (or newer versions of) programs (the compiling headeachs). I'm sure I will eventually download it and get it going. I have so many other progams that I'm trying out right now though. Thanks, Rocco __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.

I tend to agree with jfm3 here... the EDP featureset and interface was pretty much designed expressly for realtime live use. Other looping paradigms might be more powerful and appropriate for computer UI interaction and sequencing... and I'm sure one of us will get something jacked into Ardour eventually :) On another note -- if anyone gets sooperlooper (via PD or anything else) working on a Mac, let me know because Matthias Grob (the designer of the original EDP) has expressed interest in using it. jlc

It won't be released before it's perfect though and several pianists are currently assisting me in the getting it as close as possible to the real thing. The Audigy/Audigy2 version for windows will be done first. After than a tiMIDIty version 'might' be made together with the VSampler 3 version. What I've currently interrested in is if there is any interrest for such a product for use under Linux.. --- Roel / Utopia Sound Division http://www.utopiasd.com

[linux-audio-user] Rhodes sound

by Patrick Shirkey

Anyone know how I can emulate a rhodes using the computer keyboard? A mix I'm working on really needs some hearty organ. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
