Sampling / Re: Sample Synthesis

« on: July 06, 2014, 05:48:20 »

Csound is an extremely powerful program, not only to generate samples but you can even create entire pieces of music with it, apply effects to existing sounds, do MIDI in/out, VST, LADSPA, and others. This is a program I have effectively done many things with.

However, to make some simple synthesis I have the internal synthesizer in AmigaMML, which can generate square waves, saw waves, triangle waves, sine waves, noise, FM synthesis, and combinations of such.

Sampling / PADsynth

« on: June 24, 2014, 06:08:23 »

One way to create samples is to use the PADsynth algorithm. It is simple; here it is:

• Get input parameters, which are the amplitudes, bandwidths, and centers of a number of Gaussian distributions.
• Add together the generated Gaussian distributions to fill in the amplitude table.
• Fill the phase table with random data.
• Perform an inverse Fourier transform.

The result is a high quality perfectly looped sample.

A few programs implement it; one is AmigaMML.

Tracking / Re: Why use pattern breaks in Fast/Impulse Tracker?

Maybe, the program they used to make it does not support changing the number of rows in a pattern?

Tracking / Re: Official Forums for...

I wrote another program to compose music for .MOD/.XM formats. Should I request subforums here? The URL of program is at: http://zzo38computer.org/prog/amigamml.zip Do you require this information? Sorry, I am not exactly sure how you want everything posted in here, but I can learn, if you answer me. The forum link is at: https://devlabs.linuxassist.net/projects/amigamml/boards

What if you have more than one reason? It has to do with helping myself and helping others too, not only one way.

Tracking / Integrated SQL+MML+tracker?

« on: June 21, 2014, 22:35:57 »

OpenMPT (and probably other programs) expect that you aren't editing the file with other programs. I use OpenMPT for playing and examining music, not for editing/writing it.

For writing music I prefer MML (and wrote a program for MML specifically into .MOD and .XM formats).

For editing existing files, I think SQL would help. You shouldn't need all of these search/replace/cleanup/query menu; just using SQL is working much better, I think!

What else can help is after you push compile MML key, it will immediately compile it and then the cursor movement (and selection) in MML and tracker grid will correspond to each other as long as neither is edited in place (and allow the MML also to be edited externally, in a separate process)

Another feature I would like to be able to use with it is OPL2 emulation (usable with S3M, and perhaps an extended UNIMOD format).

I also hate VST, but that doesn't really have anything to do with this; I don't have to use it!

As far as I know, no such software exists. Do you know if there is any?

Feedback & Suggestions / Re: Fix the WAP2 forum mode

O, OK, although I really think a more workable lo-fi mode would be better

Tracking / Re: What's your tracker / format of choice? And why?

« on: June 21, 2014, 09:58:24 »

I don't really like the tracker file and prefer MML. I also hate VST; if I want to generate these sound effects, I will use Csound.

I did make a MML compiler into .MOD and .XM format so that it can be use MML with such format, though.

I think .IT format has too many features; many things aren't needed and don't help at all.

However, nearly all of these tracker format have problem; you cannot arbitrarily stack effects together, and global effects still have to go in a local column, and so on. But, they are common format so, we can use them nevertheless.

Where do MML compiler (into .MOD/.XM) go into, please?
