like:
As far as moving patches from one font to
another, hilite the source
patch and right click over the destination for a context menu with
"paste". FWIW, Multiple selections work. What other questions have ye?
Thanks John, I'll try it again then.
How do I get smurf to make any sound? I have ALSA/MIDI working perfectly
and yet I don't seem to be able to hook my external keyboard up so it can
trigger the soundfont I want to edit. Smurf is pre-JACK isn't it?
Pre Jack yes. Yer keyboard should be fired up before you start the program.
I notice a bug (or feature perhaps) where by edits don't get loaded into the
wavetable until it's refreshed. Fastest way is to select another patch
(sample|instrument|preset) then reselect the edited one. You may also
need MIDI thru set appropriately.
doesn't help much and I never got round to compiling Swami, it's not
included in AGNULA/DeMuDi, so I'm wondering if it's less-than-free or
what the deal is with it. It strikes me as being dumb to use the .sf2
format if we don't have an accessible editor. Either we help Josh Green
make Swami accessible and distributable or we should seriously consider
some other options.
Well.. the format exists already and is widespread, so while designing a
replacement or reimplementation has it's merits, it'd be throwing out
the baby with the bath water.
I wasn't really suggesting throwing out the baby. If it's an open format,
no problem. If there are no license problems, I would have thought that
building a command-line interface for SWAMI would really be the way to go.
