-=============================================================
- Short instructions to get the soft
- synthesizer up and running
-=============================================================
-
-1. Compile and install MusE
-
-3. Run MusE from an xterm with Option "-D";
- look at the debug output in the xterm; you should see something
- like:
-
- 3 soft synth found
- found soft synth <fluid> <fluid soft synth>
- found soft synth <organ> <organ soft synth>
- found soft synth <S1> <organ soft synth>
-
-
-4. Configure Software Synthesizer
-
- Open Settings->MidiPorts/SoftSynth.
-
- - select a software synthesizer
- - press "Add Instance" to create an istance of this
- synthesizer; the synthi shows up in the list
- of instances with a unique name
-
-5. Configure Midi Port
-
- To use the synthesizer instance you must
- connect it to a MusE midi port:
-
- - click into the "Device Name" column of an empty midi port
- (Device Name == "none")
- - select the synthesizer from the dropdown menu.
-
- This connects the synthesizer to the selected midi port.
- The instrument type is automatically set.
-
-6. Open the Audio Mixer
-
- You see a new mixer strip of type "Synthi" and the name
- of the new created synthesizer instance.
-
- Route the audio output of this strip to "Output".
- (per default the synthesizer is routed to the first Output strip)
-
-7. Now you are ready to play with the "organ" synthesizer
-
- - create midi track
- - set the midi port to the synthesizer port
- - click the "R" column in the tracklist to enable "Recording"
-
-8. Optional: open Configure->MidiPorts and click in column GUI
- to show a GUI for the synthesizer instance.
- There is no gui available for the S1 synth.
- The iiwu gui enables you to enter a different sound font.
- The organ gui has some "draw bars" to let you play with
- sounds in real time.
-
-These are the software synthesizers currently available:
-
- - S1 a simple sythesizer skeleton as a guide for all who
- want to code their own one:
- - only one tone at a time
- - simple sinus wave form
- - no gui
- The synthi may be used as a metronome.
-
- - organ, an adapted version of the LADSPA plugin
- "Organ - Additive Organ Synthesizer Voice" from
- David A. Bartold
-
- "organ" implements a gui connected bidirectional
- to the synth via stdin/stdout
-
- - fluid, is the adapted version of Peter HanappeĀ“s
- sample based fluid synthesizer (formerly known as iiwu)
- - loadable sound fonts
- - multi timbral
- - 128 voices
- - simple gui lets you load a different sound font
- Fluid loads a default sound font determined by the
- environment variable "DEFAULT_SOUNDFONT".
