[14:26] mighty_aboba, I suspect not. More likely to happen with xubuntu first [14:27] xubuntu is xfce on purpose. studio uses some but not all. [14:28] spow, I don't know that much about fluidsynth [14:29] spow, I have used qsynth which is a fluidsynth GUI. [14:40] len-dt: is it possible to decrease the sound of cords ? [14:40] because it really 'eats' on regular notes [14:59] spow, how are you driving the synth? [14:59] are you using a kb or sequencer [15:03] len-dt: I use jackd/fluidsynth/aconnect [15:04] spow, ok, are you playing a keyboard that plays fluidsynth? [15:04] probably [15:05] i'm new to this, it works but not perfect [15:05] the cords are too loud [15:05] 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] somewhat yes [15:06] So the keboard does send both noteon and touch information then. [15:07] can I compensate this ? [15:07] does your keyboard allow you to split the output to two midi channels. [15:08] imma check [15:08] 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. [15:09] 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] I'm not keyboard player myself... I have one and fool around on it, but I am not a player. [15:09] where +-30% force changes nothing [15:10] i'm playing my first lesson anyways, you certainly know more than I do [15:10] 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. [15:11] is that supposed to be in the datasheet ? or in aconnect ? [15:11] I understand the midi standard (at least as it was first released) reasonably well. [15:11] The two places I can think that we could split is either in the keyboard itself or in the synth. [15:12] samplers do this well, but samplers are not that great for general playing or learning on. [15:13] I have no idea what these things are [15:13] thought jacks was onee though [15:13] jackd* [15:18] 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. [15:19] I've looked at the help pages and didn't find anything either, though I don't understand all the words there [15:19] aoleous does, but it is pipe organ only. [15:19] well, guess I've got to learn to be gentle with the left hand ;) [15:19] What model of keyboard are you using? [15:20] keystation 61 es [15:20] stole it from my brother ! [15:20] spow, I am sure he didn't need it anyway [15:21] he sort of does, he composes stuff so he takes it back when needed [15:21] but he can't help me, he's using windows ... [15:22] Ok I will take a quick look at the manual. [15:23] 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] b/c I didn't pay attention to the force exerted until now [15:27] 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] ah [15:28] well, thganks for looking [15:28] when I move in in 5 months I'll just get a piano :p [15:28] I am thinking though that either PD or qtraktor might [15:28] PureData ? [15:29] Ya, I don't know PD at all, but one of the people I was talking to knows it a lot better. [15:29] I've used that last year [15:29] could give it a try [15:29] though I'd like to play more than setup things haha [15:30] well, gotta go, thanks for looking up the info [15:30] 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] no prob. [15:31] well, I also *could* take a peek at fluidsynth's source code [15:31] but that's time I won't be playing soo .... [15:31] thanks for the info, bb [15:31] spow, If there is not somethign that does that now there needs to be. [15:32] I might even learn jack.alsa well enough to do myself. === FloatingGoat_ is now known as Guest55476 === Guest55476 is now known as Fgoat === Fgoat is now known as Guest69237
