Hi David
Good evening!
I went to make some sounds today and discovered that somehow - in my
migration to a new laptop five months ago - that I lost a bunch of
banks/instruments. So I have two questions.
Where to get more Yoshimi/Zyn instruments?
There used to be a lot of them on KVR, they are probably still there, but
they've reorganised the site since I last looked and I can't find them now.
Hermann's link is pretty good, but bear in mid some are individual instruments
and some others are inside 'foreign' wrappers.
I also copied a bunch of Zyn "banks" into
Yoshimi's banks folder, but
they're all subfolders and Yoshimi doesn't seem to find them. How to fix
this?
I suspect what you did was to try to install a bank *root* as a bank.
From the main window you should go to 'Paths->Bank Root Dirs...'
This will open a window where you click on 'Add Root Directory' and this opens
a browser that allows you to add the new one to the list. Yoshimi will then
treat all subdirectores as banks - provided they contain instruments.
Along the way, I tried Zyn with its shiny zyn-fusion
interface. Makes no
sense to me, although the ability to enlarge the window and make it
visible/usable on my 4K display is nice. Any ideas on how to convince X
to provide real high-rez fonts, or use scalable fonts?
This is something that has been under discussion for some time. It seems there
is a good chance that FLTK will release version 1.4 this year and this does
include scaling.
