Yeah, Paul Davis only talked about DAWs, so a new
soundfont-player is
much easier! And there aren't enough different soundfont-formats
available, you will probably invent your own?
Als ich hab' geschreibt, ich weiß gar nichts über soundfonts und alles.
I don't get your problem. fluidsynth reacts quite
well on
midi-control. Just adjust the individual volume/pan/chorus/reverb
with the corresponding midi-messages and you will get what you want.
Why do you think it is easier to have that in a separate gui (like
qsynth) instead of being stored in your rosegarden/muse/<any other
midi-sequencer>-session?
MuSE is out of the question because it takes seconds to redraw its
screen under FC6 x86_64. I used MuSE and liked it years ago, but
presently it is simply impossible to use.
Rosegarden ? I should give it a try. Now I'm using Seq24 and while
it's not perfect it conveys some simplicity which I like. Seq24 does
not interface with fluidsynth, I think. Or does it ? Maybe I should
do without QSynth and try to use fluidsynth directly with Seq24 but
then, as far as trying out sounds and just having fun, I wonder how
pratical the command-line interface is. With QSynth I just click on a
different sound and inside maybe 2 second (time to grab the mouse,
etc...) I have a new sound.
Better yet, explore with QSynth and have a setup with command-line
fluidsynth for recall and playing of sequences. A Perl script here and
there ought to glue things together.
You seem to point to the possibility that a single sf archive can use
different volume controls since each sound has a MIDI channel and for
each channel a MIDI volume control can be set. That's nice to know. I
mean, not to flatten all MIDI notes, but a global volume control that
preserves individual velocity expression of single notes.
Following the same thought, each MIDI channel could be routed thru a
reverb/chorus. But then, there could be a lot of jack racks on the
screen while if you compare with Zyn, this functionality is neatly
contained inside the same app.
Tschüß.
