| spow | hi, is fluidsynth support appropriate here ? | 12:44 |
|---|---|---|
| mighty_aboba | did somebody try to install xfce4.10 to Ubuntu Studio 12.04? | 12:51 |
| len-dt | mighty_aboba, I suspect not. More likely to happen with xubuntu first | 14:26 |
| len-dt | xubuntu is xfce on purpose. studio uses some but not all. | 14:27 |
| len-dt | spow, I don't know that much about fluidsynth | 14:28 |
| len-dt | spow, I have used qsynth which is a fluidsynth GUI. | 14:29 |
| spow | len-dt: is it possible to decrease the sound of cords ? | 14:40 |
| spow | because it really 'eats' on regular notes | 14:40 |
| len-dt | spow, how are you driving the synth? | 14:59 |
| len-dt | are you using a kb or sequencer | 14:59 |
| spow | len-dt: I use jackd/fluidsynth/aconnect | 15:03 |
| len-dt | spow, ok, are you playing a keyboard that plays fluidsynth? | 15:04 |
| spow | probably | 15:04 |
| spow | i'm new to this, it works but not perfect | 15:05 |
| spow | the cords are too loud | 15:05 |
| len-dt | spow, does that keyboard seem to make louder sound when you hit the keys harder and softer if you gently push the keys down? | 15:05 |
| spow | somewhat yes | 15:05 |
| len-dt | So the keboard does send both noteon and touch information then. | 15:06 |
| spow | can I compensate this ? | 15:07 |
| len-dt | does your keyboard allow you to split the output to two midi channels. | 15:07 |
| spow | imma check | 15:08 |
| len-dt | spow, The obvious thing is to play chords gently and hit the melody notes harder, but it sounds like the difference is not enough for that to work. | 15:08 |
| spow | well, i'm trying to do that, but it's pretty hard (not to exert the same force), plus there's this sort of middle cap | 15:09 |
| len-dt | I'm not keyboard player myself... I have one and fool around on it, but I am not a player. | 15:09 |
| spow | where +-30% force changes nothing | 15:09 |
| spow | i'm playing my first lesson anyways, you certainly know more than I do | 15:10 |
| len-dt | The reason I am thinking to split the keyboard is that you could feed two synth channels and turn one down as compared to the other. | 15:10 |
| spow | is that supposed to be in the datasheet ? or in aconnect ? | 15:11 |
| len-dt | I understand the midi standard (at least as it was first released) reasonably well. | 15:11 |
| len-dt | The two places I can think that we could split is either in the keyboard itself or in the synth. | 15:11 |
| len-dt | samplers do this well, but samplers are not that great for general playing or learning on. | 15:12 |
| spow | I have no idea what these things are | 15:13 |
| spow | thought jacks was onee though | 15:13 |
| spow | jackd* | 15:13 |
| len-dt | spow, looking at the settings for fluidsynth, I can't find anything that will allow me to set a range of midi notes it looks at. | 15:18 |
| spow | I've looked at the help pages and didn't find anything either, though I don't understand all the words there | 15:19 |
| len-dt | aoleous does, but it is pipe organ only. | 15:19 |
| spow | well, guess I've got to learn to be gentle with the left hand ;) | 15:19 |
| len-dt | What model of keyboard are you using? | 15:19 |
| spow | keystation 61 es | 15:20 |
| spow | stole it from my brother ! | 15:20 |
| len-dt | spow, I am sure he didn't need it anyway | 15:20 |
| spow | he sort of does, he composes stuff so he takes it back when needed | 15:21 |
| spow | but he can't help me, he's using windows ... | 15:21 |
| len-dt | Ok I will take a quick look at the manual. | 15:22 |
| spow | it's ok, as said I have to play gentle with the left hand. i'll try and access a piano tonight to record how it feels | 15:23 |
| spow | b/c I didn't pay attention to the force exerted until now | 15:23 |
| len-dt | I looked in the manual and your keyboard doesn't allow sending different parts of the keyboard to different midi ports... sorry spow | 15:27 |
| spow | ah | 15:27 |
| spow | well, thganks for looking | 15:28 |
| spow | when I move in in 5 months I'll just get a piano :p | 15:28 |
| len-dt | I am thinking though that either PD or qtraktor might | 15:28 |
| spow | PureData ? | 15:28 |
| len-dt | Ya, I don't know PD at all, but one of the people I was talking to knows it a lot better. | 15:29 |
| spow | I've used that last year | 15:29 |
| spow | could give it a try | 15:29 |
| spow | though I'd like to play more than setup things haha | 15:29 |
| spow | well, gotta go, thanks for looking up the info | 15:30 |
| len-dt | In the mean time, I will look for an application that messes midi signals up as they go through and see if we can include it in ubuntustudio. | 15:30 |
| len-dt | no prob. | 15:30 |
| spow | well, I also *could* take a peek at fluidsynth's source code | 15:31 |
| spow | but that's time I won't be playing soo .... | 15:31 |
| spow | thanks for the info, bb | 15:31 |
| len-dt | spow, If there is not somethign that does that now there needs to be. | 15:31 |
| len-dt | I might even learn jack.alsa well enough to do myself. | 15:32 |
