Note on the topic of "Mellotron". Forgive me if you know this. Mellotrons are
basically a tape loop for every key and pressing said key drops a playback
head on the tape. It's a primitive analog sampler, if you will.
format.
I'm very interested in this sound. I'd like to see it in a
soundfont, so it can be used with fluidsynth. Unfortunately I only can
convert this sample to the .wav or .raw format and split the different
samples from one another. The actual soundfont creation (with swami) I
can't do. Would anyone be interested in this kind of project?
I'm sorry I can't help you directly Julien but
smurf just
crashes on me after a few minutes and I've never been able
to figure out how to use it anyway, and swami doesn't exist
as a Gentoo package.
That would be most useful combined with a repository and web frontend
for comping individual instruments into larger sets.
As said I'd convert and split the flac file
and do, what else I can,
but for the final swami-touch, I'd need some help, because I'm blind. I'm
looking forward to hear from someone!
Along these lines, and this would help Julien, is anyone
aware of any shell tools to deal with sf2 soundfonts ?
I would be very interested in cooperating with anyone else
that may be able to help build a set of command line sf2
extraction and rebuild tools.
