with these compliments you are spoiling us

seriously ... glad you like them opiadream ... fontaminator is due a new beta version [new features / more cpu effiecient / better gui] soon too [but pressure of time etc ] ... its always REALLY cool for an amateur developer like myself to get this kind of feedback ... keeps the old enthusiasm up you know ...

hey ... howsabout a review for esef here at k-v-r then [heavy hint hint ] ...

[edit] oops ... ignore that perhaps ... you were talking sf-play [all credit to odo ... mostly eh m8 ] not esef ... just review fontaminator when it gets to versionONE ok ...

... cheers rob

Sorry, but I´m not so glad with them.

SFPlay has a very thin sound with all soundfont that I tested in it - it´s always not the original sound of the soundfont (I tested that comparing the sound when loading the same soundfont into the SBLive).

Fontaminator often crashes Logic 5.2 when loading a soundfont into it. And when I succeeded to load one, I can select what SF2-program I want, there is always the same sound (prg.no. 1 piano).

Esef is o.k. so far, I didnt´t had problems with it yet.

thanks opiadream
and AndreasEhrhardt did you try sf-play1.1?

BTW soundfonts players from eXpeRIMentFOUR are also very nice

Odo, I wanted to download 1.1 when you had published it, but there was only 1.0 on your web site. I will try it again.

here is the link

Whoa!

Back up!

What are these things again? Fontaminator and SF Play? Are these soundfont players you say? Or am I misreading here?

I did shoot over to Odo's webpage, but from what I've read, it looks like synth. Please explain, as I love soundfonts and would dig a player with some neat wav-mangling features in it.

heehee ... you NEED fontaminator then ... does exactly what you said on the tin ... still in beta but should work fine ...

... also got esef available ... more of a vanilla .sf2 player with a bypassable state-variable filter and amp section ...

... head on over to http://www.experimentfour.co.uk to take a look ...

... cheers rob

hi Filthy K

SF Play is also a sounfonts player

Suuuuweet!

I will d/l and try them out very soon!

And thanks for putting something out for us soundfont-junkies!

A heads-up for Rob...

Just got a batch of new soundfonts to mangle, so I thought I'd try 'em out with the latest versions of esef, fontaminator (and sfplay too).

But I happened to notice that there are dead links on the K-v-R instrument pages for Rob's stuff. (Something to do with the site redesign?) I got there eventually, but just thought I'd let you know.

Rob and Odo, thanks for these great freebies. I'll try and give feedback once I've had time to play with them.

Now, on to my mangling.

hmmmnnn ... the link from the synthedit 'links' page is working fine here ...

... cheers rob

I meant the instrument description pages at K-v-R. You know, from that drop down menu up yonder ----^

oops ... hey ... its early here ...

youre right ... it is to with with me renaming the pages of the website ... thx for the heads up ... ill let ben know ...

... cheers rob

Logic 5,2???? Why on earth would anyone be on 5,2 when 5,5 win is sooo much better?

Kim, to be honest: I´m using Magix MidiStudio2003, which is a licenced Logic 5.2 clone (but much cheaper). But because not many people know that I´m telling the corresponding LA version number. And for that reason I can´t update it to Logic 5.5.

Oh sorry Erhardt

sf- play will be updated soon new gui,less cpu

bought a copy of synthedit so no more -synthedit in the name of the plugin
