hello list, I would like to trigger samples with a qwerty keyboard. I am aware that freewheelin will allow loops to be turned off/on with a qwerty keyboard, but I am looking for more one-shot sample triggering. It would be nice to be able to assign multiple samples (whether loops, one-shot, etc.) to different keys and be able to trigger them by pressing the key. Is this possible? If so, what applications can be used to do it? -- Josh Lawrence http://www.hardbop200.com

Band limited oscillator sound font

by Chris McCormick

Hey list, Just wondering if anyone knows of some good free sound fonts of band limited oscillators (e.g. square, saw, triangle)? Failing that, how does one go about packaging one's own sound fonts? Best, Chris. ------------------- http://mccormick.cx

midi to QWERTY!?

by James Stone

Saw a similarly titled thread, and wondered if anyone knows of an application that works in the opposite direction (generating keypresses from midi data). I started writing one myself but only got as far as generating a single keypress.. and it was all hardcoded in Java (which I really don't like).. Any python extensions that might help?? James

Brush soundfont

by Folderol

Can anyone suggest where I can get a good soundfont for short and long brush strokes of the type that were very popular in dance halls for slow waltzes? -- Will J G

flash authoring

by Russ Button

I want to author flash files by combining a couple of pages from a pdf and a sound file. Is there an open source tool that I can use which is command line driven? It may be that the tool requires image files first, so I'd have to convert the pdf to a jpg or other format. Easy enough. And I can convert any sound format to most any other sound format that the tool might require. Russ

I.e. you really don't need a dummy head, if you are able to keep your own heard unmoved. It just requires a bit of discipline. Small movements don't hurt, they rather drastically improve the binaural imaging. The effect of different people having different head shapes (HRTFs) is noticeable, but for the purpose of just listening to music (and not doing angle measurements) this doesn't matter much. The effect when listening with good playback equipement and (open) headphones is really thrilling, quite immersive. I don't know any recording technique providing better this "live" or "we are there" feeling combined with the possibility to use very high quality equipement at a moderate price tag (good loudspeakers are a great deal more expensive). The OKMs are nice, but even the "classical" variant is rather middle class quality level. For really good results you can use the DPA 4060 mini electret capsules. IIRC, DPA themself provide some "binaural set" equiped with this mics. I bought mine from "Core Sound" http://www.core-sound.com/bk/1.php Cheers, Hermann Vosseler

[ANN] Qsynth 0.2.6 is out!

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi everyone, Today I've woke up and promptly decided to let a new official Qsynth be released as is from CVS HEAD. No big deal as there aren't any big news anyway :) So be it. And there it is: Qsynth 0.2.6 is out. As you can read from the change log, most are only nitpicking ones: - Main panel window now keeps its previous iconic state on system tray, on application restart (thanks to Chris Cannam for hinting this one). - Minor optimization in peak level meters update rate. Alternate but faster inline lroundf() function implementation is now used. - Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which were causing some sticky size behavior on some window managers. - Messages and channels window captions can now be set smaller as tool-widgets, in effect when child windows are kept always on top. - While on the engine setup dialog, the ALSA sequencer client identifier is now also disabled depending on the MIDI input option setting. - Experimental soundfont loader which prevents RAM image duplication if more than one engine loads the same soundfont file. Server-mode is now supported on multi-engine configurations by auto-incrementing the shell socket listening port (both patches handed by Dave Searls, thanks). - Engine name gets through the respective tab title when created. Fixed engine delete button enabling on the main window. - Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, on qsynth.spec (RPM). - Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas). - GPL address update. Of course, available in the usual sites: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsynth Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org

[dac@cafaro.net: Re: [Novalug] LinuxWorld info [Fwd: .org Pavilion Call for Papers Now Open]]

by Eric Dantan Rzewnicki

Apropos the discussion that happened at the end of LAC about having some sort of Linux Audio event in the US, perhaps a presence of linuxaudio.org or some other group could be arranged for this or future LinuxWorlds? I didn't get a chance to talk to the Trinity guy who triggered the discussion ... does anyone know if he reads this list (and what his name is)? -Eric Rz. ----- Forwarded message from "David A.

[ANN] hexter 0.6.1

by Sean Bolton

Announcing a new release of the hexter DSSI plugin. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=104230&package_id=134428 hexter is a software synthesizer that models the sound generation of a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It can easily load most DX7 patch bank files, accept patch editing commands via MIDI sys-ex messages, and recreate the sound of the DX7 with greater accuracy than any other open-source emulation (that the author is aware of...) hexter operates as a plugin for the Disposable Soft Synth Interface (DSSI). No exciting new features come in version 0.6.1, just these: * Backed out a change in version 0.6.0, where the plugin was installed under a different name than the 0.5.x versions -- something which created headaches for distribution packagers. * Added a backward-compatibility feature so that version 0.6.1 can be used with existing projects made using 0.5.x versions, without changing how they sound. More information about hexter and DSSI can be found at: http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html hexter is written by Sean Bolton, and copyright (c)2007 under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.
