Hello list,
having very recently started with audio and midi recording, I'm
finding the available instruments in the timidity free patches are not
quite suitable for Irish music. I need decent samples for guitar,
bass and bodhran (drum), possibly harp. Any advice on where to get those?
I've tried the free patchset for timidity, and also the pc51 soundfont
found through google. One of the few instruments sounding almost
acceptable is the accoustic bass. Any suggestions for other
soundfonts, plugins for instruments or other solutions? I'd be
willing to make a bodhran patch set myself, if I knew how.
On a related note: what would be a typical way to enter guitar
accompanyment into rosegarden? Using a keyboard, or some other way?
I'm not so great at chords and play the flute myself, so my "keyboard
guitar" currently resembles anything but a guitar.
Kind regards,
Hein Zelle

Hi!
Bass: Try hammersound(s).net (I always forget if there's an 's' or not,
there is a bass called: natural decaying bass (nd_bass). I believe it was
packed in sfark or sfpack, but this can be unpacked under wine or a real
windows (if you are unfortunite to have one :-))
There's another big GM-soundfont, which is called fluid revesion 3
(fluidr3), I don't know if this can still be downloaded.
For harp, I think there are a few nice soundfonts at hammersound as well.
The same goes for acoustic guitar. There's the protrax and the maestro. Those
are nice enough.
Entering guitar notes. Well take your keyboard or some guitar with
MIDI-output, if you can lay your hands on one. Roland made those gr synth.
Synthisizers you play via your guitar. But there maybe less expensive and more
to the point solutions for that.
As to creating a soundfont yourself: There's swami. Swami can create
soundfonts and you can test them directly in swami or use fluidsynth for
extended testing, what ever suites you. Concerning the real recording aspects
of it, well... About this I don't know very much. But best edit your samples
beforehand, trim the beginning and ending, probably normalize them... If there
are problems about that, you better start a new thread, because this is really
a thing in itself...
I hope that helps a little.
Kindest regards
Julien

I got FluidR3 fairly recently but forget where. If you have difficulty
finding it let me know and I'll see if I can drop my copy somewhere you
can pick it up (it's a bit big to send by email, even compressed).
For something like I Bodhran I was able to get ZynAddSubFX to create
quite a good effect, but then no two Bodhrans sound alike!

Very interesting indeed! I'll have to see if I can get it to fit a
recording, I have no idea how to play the bodhran using the keyboard
yet :-) There's plenty of triplets and other combinations in the
soundfont though, so I'm sure I'll manage something.
Thanks,
Hein
