Does anyone know of software that can generate MIDI messages from a touchpad? The idea would be to send CCs to a sequencer or soft synth, but being able to send it to an external hardware device would also be very useful. -- Will J Godfrey https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

sanitize midi files on command line?

by Peter P.

Hi list, I am looking for a program (ideally on the command line) that allows me to check for identical notes being retriggered before they have been turned off. In addition I wonder if such a tool could then correct note lengths to prevent this case? In addition, is there a similar tool for checking and repairing missing note-off events (hanging notes) within a midi file? I think I have checked all on this list https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/midi_software but so far no solution found. Thanks for any ideas! Peter

Solo stringed instrument sounds

by David Sumbler

I am in the process of creating a MIDI version of some string quartet music. So far I have been using VPO solo strings sounds, but these are not very satisfactory even after editing the .sfz files to the best of my (limited) ability. VPO has some great sounds for string sections no doubt, but for solo instruments it is not so good. I downloaded an sf2 version of some solo string sounds and converted them to sfz, but found that they were very synthetic sounding. I have also downloaded the Philharmonia Orchestra samples. These are fairly comprehensive and sound good, but unfortunately the samples themselves are very short (typically only 1 or 2 seconds long), and I haven't been able to make satisfactory loops with them. Can anyone suggest where I might find some good quality solo string sounds? Ideally, as well as normal bowed and pizzicato sounds, I would like natural and artificial harmonics and open (i.e. unstopped) string sounds.

SoundTracker 1.0.4 released

by Yury Aliaev

Hi there, I have released SoundTracker v1.0.4. Comparing to the last pre-release, 1.0.3-pre2, it contains several important bugfixes, so I recommend everyone to upgrade. Its main revolutionary feature is a facility to process samples by any external program that can communicate through STDIO. The interaction with such a program is described used XML specs (not documented yet, but the comprehensive example: much of SOX functions, is included), so one need not recompile ST, only restart after adding new specs. Other main features of the 1.0.4 release are: * General: - Full-screen mode - Volume of all samples of an instrument / all samples in the module can be set to a value, not only gained. Also all samples panning can be adjusted. These functions can also modify the explicitly given values of volume / panning of notes in patterns - Improved compatibility with FastTracker, also MOD files are played more correctly - Unused patterns are listed in the Pattern Sequence Editor - Sampling rate can be specified while saving a sample as WAV - New module optimizer with many control parameters * Track Editor: - Moving notes up / down is implemented * Sample Editor: - The whole sample is drawn after recording - Exponential / reverse exponential volume fade transients * Instrument Editor: - Envelope inversion and shifting is implemented You can find more new features in NEWS file. SoundTracker download page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/soundtracker/files/ Regards, Yury.

Programmable Audio Workshop (PAW-23), Lyon, France, Dec. 2, 2023 + Bonus Workshop on Faust -> FPGA

by Stéphane Letz

The Programmable Audio Workshop (PAW) is a yearly one day FREE event gathering members of the programmable audio community around scientific talks and hands-on workshops. The 2023 edition of PAW is hosted by the INRIA/INSA/GRAME-CNCM Emeraude Team at the Marie Curie Library of INSA Lyon (France) on December 2nd, 2023. The theme of this year's PAW is "Artificial Intelligence and Audio Programming Languages" with a strong focus on computer music languages (i.e., Faust, ChucK, and PureData). The main aim of PAW-23 is to give an overview of the various ways artificial intelligence is used and approached in the context of Domain Specific Languages (DSL) for real-time audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP). As a side event, we will also be organizing a "Faust/FPGA" workshop on Dec. 1, 2023 in Lyon. More information as well as the full program of these events are available at: https://paw.grame.fr We look forward to seeing you there and we remain at your disposal if you have any questions. Stéphane for the PAW-23 Team
