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 Hanappe´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". - - - |
