In the last test build of FatBoy, I used standard audio engineering digital peak methods to achieve exactly the same volume thresholds as the Sound Canvas synth modules many game soundtracks were written for: Ye Olde Changelog: • Completely reworked English Horn to sustain/vibrato much less abrasive...

Another day, another FatBoy version. This one is the product of tester feedback, including some great SC-88 baseline recordings, and lots and lots of fine tuning. https://pub.dotbalm.org/misc/FatBoy-v0751.7z To help demonstrate the newly tuned drum/instrument mix in this version (though one particul...

Thanks for taking the time to dig deeper into that issue. I wonder why SGM glosses over those errors - must be all that reverb drowning it out? That might be. I am adding light verb to many instruments that would naturally reverberate regardless of circumstances, but for the most part I want it to ...

This is how version 0.74 sounds via Core Audio in macOS 10.13, using the opening credits to TIE Fighter Collector's Edition: http://userweb.eftel.com/~almeath/mac/TIE_FB.mp3 In comparison to SGMv2.01-Sal-Guit-Bass-V1.3: http://userweb.eftel.com/~almeath/mac/TIE_SGM.mp3 It holds up very well against...

I may not be able to work on it as consistently going forward, but in the meantime I've made some more changes to FatBoy (v0.74) as we push along towards something resembling a finished product. https://pub.dotbalm.org/misc/FatBoy-v074.7z Changelog: • Added hand-built concert harp I made from scrap ...

Hello there, I've just finished uploading the latest development version of FatBoy v0.72 . Nothing too major has changed in such a short time, but I have got full GS support for a decent handful of popular games, including Albion, Warcraft II and Descent 2. Here's an example of the GS-heavy Descent ...

OK! As promised, here's the current BETA of FatBoy, version 0.70. https://pub.dotbalm.org/misc/FatBoy-v070.7z NOTES: • Version 0.70 of FatBoy is pretty fat at 300MB uncompressed, but it may grow and shrink a few times as development progresses. Right now there are some redundant (or very nearly redu...

That definitely sounds amazing, even in an unfinished state. I would be happy to test it out. Awesome, thank you kindly! In terms of progress for FatBoy: The GM standard set is all in place and functioning at this point and I've got at least placeholder GS instruments, but GS is not yet complete (i...

Understood, but thanks for giving it some attention regardless.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I've been working on a new, enthusiast GM/GS SoundFont project, "Fat Boy". It's still a work in progress at only version 0.52. Not all instruments are final and I haven't done more than cursory tuning and balance work. However I personally t...

Awesome.

I downloaded UHDv3.30.7z and extracted it but strings says "Revision 3.31" Did I download the wrong file? Good question, but nope! I made a few superfluous tweaks that were so minor that I didn't bother with a release notification. The latest version is always linked no matter which versi...

I had some downtime today, so put some work into a few things that irritated me about UHD. UHD v3.30 is the result. Changelog: • Phase shift to "Solo Vox" (preset 000:085) to remove dissonance in high registers • Fine tuning to "Distortion Guitar" (preset 000:030) • Sample reproc...

OK, I thought this was kind of interesting. I put an SC-88xx "enhanced" version of the LSL3 "Patti" theme side by side with the same MIDI through UHD3. The left channel is exclusively the Quest Studios Sound Canvas enhanced MT-32 composition. The right channel is the exact same M...

... So you basically run fluidsynth /path/to/soundfont.sf2 Exactly. By default, if run without '.mid' files to parse, FluidSynth just waits around for input events through a MIDI driver... just like a physical synthesizer module sitting on your desk. Qsynth just gives FluidSynth that "synthesi...
