Qsynth - Qt GUI Interface for FluidSynth

synthv1, samplv1 and drumkv1 suggestions

Forums

Hi, I've checked back on the plugins after a long time, and I'm glad to see how it progressed - especially the addition of drumkv1!
Here are some suggestions - what I miss:
1)! Controls units (preferrably both musical and scientific units) - I especially miss this with the octave, tuning knobs.
2) Overall documentation - for example it is not clear what whole DEF1 section does - is it sensitivity to the MIDI messages? (range <100-x, 100>)

Qsynth alternative tunings

Forums

Hello,
I am playing with microtuning and found out how to load alternative tunings into fluidsynth. This works too by starting qsynth in the commandline, but only for one fluidsynth instance.

here is an example:
bluesscream@T410L:~$ qsynth '/home/bluesscream/soundfonts/gamelan-perunggu-sf2/gamelan perunggu.sf2' '/home/bluesscream/scala/sysex122/gamelan_udan.mid'

Performance in Ubuntu Studio 12.04

Forums

Hi
Not sure if this the right forum, but I just installed Ubuntu Studio 12.04 and I have som delay in the QSynth parts running Qtractor. I have the same settings as i have in Ubuntu Studio 11.10.
Any ideas where to look, tweak or something I missed?
I use JackCtl, QSynth and QTractor as is from 12.04. I built the QTractor in 11.10.

Multi-channel independent pitch-bend

Forums

So, to work with my microtonal keyboard from H-Pi, I need instruments with two features:
1. adjustable PB range (specifically to get +/- 1 semitone)
2. multi-channel input where each channel doesn't affect the others (including pitch-bend affecting only each channel) — ideally where sound settings can still be changed globally.

Pianoteq is the only option I've got fully working.

The output thing

Forums

Hi Rui,
Thanks for Qsynth. I could never use FluidSynth without the interface, not in a thousand years... That being said there is one last obstacle to overcome: getting sound out of it... I use it under UbuntuStudio 10.10. I pretty much manage to get everything working (eventually), Hydrogen, Ardour, Rakarrak, Guitarix, Zynaddsubfx. And I did get sound out of Qsynth with VMPK (virtual keyboard), and it is sooooooo nice, but as soon as I plug in my M-Audio Keyrig49, the thing goes silent.
