Re: [LAU] Status of lisalo/lisaloQt and calfbox?

Greetings, Len. The creator of calfbox suggested I look at this file: sampler_api_example2.py which can be seen in the git repo here: http://repo.or.cz/w/calfbox.git/blob/HEAD:/sampler_api_example2.py My impression has become, that calfbox is probably a very nice Python toolkit by which one can build applets to do a number of musical things, including build a live synth using SFZ instruments. This thought is analogous to mididings, which is indeed a very nice Python toolkit by which one can build applets to do a number of MIDI conversions, combinations, and other renobulations of many sorts. I have not tried calfbox yet, but do use mididings regularly, and am looking forward to some careful experimentation; I am trying to build a very dense Strings instrument for my synth box ( http://lsn.ponderworthy.com ), and although the 14-item LinuxSynth setup I have right now sounds great for a second or two of note-hold, one hears increasing spits and pops and static after more hold even on one note.
