Re: [LAU] Command-line render a MIDI file with a VST instrument?

Thanks, all who replied! I'm still undecided as to which way I'm going yet. I should elaborate a bit: I'm producing a SoundFont. Each SoundFont instrument is produced by recording eight notes (C0, C1, C2, ...) into a single FLAC file which is then sliced up programatically. Right now, I'm using Ardour to export the notes, but this is painful and requires a lot of manual labour. I can make the following simplifying assumptions: * The MIDI file used is always the same * The VST plugin used is always the same (Dexed [0]) * The VST plugin program selection is always the same (program 0), but the loaded bank will differ. I think the "loaded bank will differ" part is probably the awkward bit: I think loading a bank into Dexed is likely entirely plugin-specific. I'm not sure if this step can be automated, and if it can't, that pretty much kills the whole thing. [0] https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ -- Mark Raynsford | http://www.io7m.com
