- Subject: Computer Music bibliography
-
- There is a bibliography on synthesizers, midi, computer and electronic
- music that I have collected from various sources. I have tried to bring
- some structure into it, but not all books will fit into a single subject.
- NOTE: I haven't read these books, and the comments are from other people.

- mail-server the filename without pub/ should be used.

- So far I have resampled several Kurzweil patches and threw out several
- samples from the patch, but I dunno if I should upload them or not. I have a
- 300k trumpet, a 127k mute trumpet, and a 170k french horn.
-
- You think I should just upload them?

- Subject: making the Gus into a useful sampler
-
- Shortly I'll be getting a pro sequencer (cubase/windows) and have
- collected some misc patches and .wav's off the archives for the gus.
-
- My end purpose is to make pro (or at least semi=pro) quality
- compositions.
-
- So far I've used Patchmaker for creating patches. It does its thing. I'd
- like to have more flexibility. I'm sure the gus has more than its 2-3
- preset decay curves. What I want is at least 4-stage enveloping (adsr).
- To be like a *real* sampler, it must be able to alter itself in
- response to external midi data, like continuous controllers or whatever.
-
- The above is entirely a software-solveable scenario.
-
- As far as velocity crossfading goes, this also should be a matter of
- playing two notes at volumes dependent on the midi velocity.
-
- Also software adressable..
-
- I'd like to find patch-creating software for getting better enveloping on
- the samples. the velocity crossfading feature would probably have to be
- built into the windows driver, and might involve a new version of the
- patch file format.

-
- There already exists a good harpsichord and trumpet, but they are big.
- Solotrmp.pat sounds like a recording of a trumpet (690k).
- There are a few harpsichord ones (I have two 130k, 228k) as well as
- various organs. Search garbo.uwasa.fi /mirrors/ultrasound/sound/patches.
- Best bet is to just download some of what they have.

- Subject: UPDATING PATCH CACHE
-
- Hello,
-
- Some days ago I asked how to get the percussion sounds loaded into the
- GUS when using Wincake as a sequencer.
- You have to do the following:
-
- -1- set channel 10 for the tracks that contain the percussion notes
- -2- use the port that is assigned to the GUS's synthie
- -3- specify -none- as patch name
- -4- choose update patch cache from the real-time menu
-
- During update the track is scanned for which notes it contains and the
- corresponding percussion sounds are loaded into the GUS.
- Perhaps ULTRASND.INI is used to know about the assignments of keys and
- patches. Does anybody know this exactly ?
-
- Thanks to all who gave me answers to the the percussion patch caching
- problem !
-
- Kind regards,
- Volker Tosta
