Software for loop/cue handling

[sesquialtera]

Hi Lars

Thank you very very very much much (and much !)

I'll try it soon and I'm shure it will be fully usefull !

Hi!

You (and every other user) are welcome!

Especially the new pitch detection feature will be important together with future versions of GrandOrgue. This will allow samplesetproducers to skip the modification (degrading of the original sound) of the audio files in the tuning step. Instead the pitch information will be stored in the audio file itself and GO will know how to retune the sample (together with the harmonic information put into the ODF) to sound in tune according to selected temperament.

It's also possible to use batch processing to just list the pitch deviation from equal temperament with a1=440. It can be used to manually put the correction for every pipe into the ODF (or from within the GUI of GO if a user wish to retune the organ)! Note that this may take some time for a complete folder, so if the program seem to stop it's actually just working... Have patience.

It will be interesting to hear how the transition to cross-compiling the application from Linux has affected the Windows build. This is done because I'm mainly using Linux myself and it's much easier for me to have a robust development environment/toolchain (that's also free) there.

Kind regards

Hi Lars

This looks ideal for my plans to uprate some of my samples.
Unfortunately I have been unable to run the program in either Win XP or Win 7 32bit.
I have followed the info on the webpage but I must be doing something wrong as after
I double 'click' the 'exe' file nothing appears to happen?

Any clues please?

Hi!

I'd suspect that it's a problem due to the -sse3 optimizations in the build. (If I've followed some other threads correctly).

If you tell me your processor model/make I can try to compile with another version of the optimizations for you to try.

Kind regards

Hi Lars

Thanks for your reply. Having noted your suspicions, I have run the program on my XP64 "AMD 64 X2 Manchester processor" box which
supports SSE3 instruction set and all seems OK:-) The system it failed on was an older AMD Athlon which only supported SSE.

Hopefully I can now have a play.

Thanks again.

Still playing with the SSO orchestral instruments set, now doing the double bass, Ive got the pitch shifting sorted now, just trying to improve the workflow and results for loops and releases.

I downloaded a couple of apps from FLStudio (used to be FruityLoops) got the basic FLStudio Express plus the Edison plug in which does the loops, gives a waveform display with a zoom, so you can get right in to zero crossing points and it also allows you to monitor the sound at the same time as you juggle the start and end points. Hopefully this will give me some better results to feed into Auditioneer! (I actually paid for the apps!!!!!!!)

Can anybody suggest an ideal duration for a loop (in seconds)

Contemplating combining bass and cello samples, to give somewhere near the compass of the pedals, then use Blanchet harpsichord to the manuals and try and recreate a recording of BuxWV 160, Chacconne in E min that I hear on Last.fm.

Looks like this might work, got the double bass loaded to pedals with Blanchet harpsichordon manuals, need to go back and sort out some of the release cue markers, notes not ending when key released, and one of the pitch shifted Dbass notes has shifted way to far. But as it's past my bedtime It'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I've got a 44 note pedal for the Dbass. Wonder if anybody has a bass viol sample set, probably sound a bit better than a double bass with the Harpsichord.

The bass had to be transposed down a semitone, luckily Audacity has a "chain" option so all 44 notes got transposed in less than a minute - Phew!

Bass was also a bit on the loud side, so far tried changing it in the .organ file, may also try tweaking the volume setting in the Midi file, see which works best/easiest.

GO allows to change the pitch (as well as the volume) via ODF. For an advanced example look at http://www.magle.dk/music-forums/165...-mixtures.html
