Hey hey,
I would like to share a new song: When You Smile
https://youtu.be/TdJ6H01q5XI
This is a love song, an electronic ballad, heavily influenced by the likes of Imogen Heap. This means interesting and self-made sound design. In this case this involves field recordings, mixed and processed samples, completely synthesized material, using soft- and hardware synthesizers. A Csound specific note follows at the end.
Used hardware:
Behringer Neutron
Make Noise 0-Coast
Used software:
Csound (synthesis, sample editing, FX)
LinuxSampler (Csound samples, further drums, piano, guitar and strings)
Yoshimi (Pads and various)
Midish MIDI sequencing and arrangement
Nama Recording, mixing and mastering
I tried to use Csound in multiple ways, so I loaded in several drum samples, both from free libraries and my own making and edited and mixed them to export as new samles. There is the first version of the Mbria like physical modelling instrument. I used it as a vocoder, to process live audio with other custom effects and to synthesize other drum sounds from first principles. Csound is also responsible for the harp-like sound.
Share and enjoy!
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Hello, everyone!
I wasn't happy with any of the existing virtual keyboards so I created my own.
It uses the low level linux keyboard events directly from the kernel along with the kernel's timestamps as timing, so it bypasses most of sources of musical mushiness (jitter). Try it for yourself- in my humble opinion it feels better to play on than most hardware MIDI keyboards- at least for music that doesn't need touch sensititivty, like organs. A virtual keyboard really useful for fleshing out chord progressions on the go when you don't have your hardware with you- and it's nice to be able to do that with something that (within its limitations) really feels like a musical instrument.
In it's first version it can be a bit technical to install and use but I'm working on that. I hope this is useful!

Ratatouille is a Neural Model loader and mixer for Linux/Windows.
New in this release:
* allow to build as clap plugin
* allow to build as vst2 plugin
Ratatouille allow to load up to two neural model files and mix there
output. Those models could be *.nam files <https://tonehunt.org/all> or
*.json or .aidax files <https://cloud.aida-x.cc/all>. So you could blend
from clean to crunch for example, or, go wild and mix different amp
models, or mix a amp with a pedal simulation.
Ratatouille using parallel processing to process the second neural model
and the second IR-File to reduce the dsp load.
Ratatouille allow to compensate phasing issues between the loaded Models.
The "Delay" control could add a small delay to add some color/reverb to
the sound.
To round up the sound it allow to load up to two Impulse Response files
and mix there output as well. You could try the wildest combinations,
or, be conservative and load just your single preferred IR-File.
Each neural model may have a different expected Sample Rate, Ratatouille
will resample the buffer to match that.
Impulse Response Files will be resampled on the fly to match the session
Sample Rate.

There are lots of guitar to USB audio devices out there and it seems they
have all done them wrong. I modified one of them and it actually sounds
very good. Perhaps better than plugging into the "high impedance" input of
many audio interfaces or using a DI box into a mic input. The result is a
much more open sound in particular with single coil pickups (or tapped as
I happen to have).
Why do I think they have likely all done them wrong? The Application notes
say: "Please follow the reference schematic for microphone section
design." So not only is it easy but it is recomended. I am sure it works
well for a computer mic.
Anyway, for those who want a good quility direct to usb guitar cable here
is my journey to fix a toy into something better.

I find it amazing that the manufactures would not reduce their parts count
while making a better product.
