I have it but I am not keen on uploading it because it includes sfz.dll which is property of Cakewalk and not freely redistributable if I am not mistaken.

You don't really need it anyway, do you?

No, Cakewalk (rgc:audio) SFZ has been made freely redistributable. It doesn't contain any license text anywhere. No text at the installation, no text on the GUI nor by the menus, no text file in the directory... It is even downloadable on many websites for years. There is no problem to distribute freely sfz.

The only sfz plugin which at Cakewalk contains a licence is the "professional version", the sfz+, and it is not at all the same product.

Hey Black, problem solved, I've simply replaced the midi\instrument file\channel with sfz by Cakewalk\rgc and load the old (free) libraries, at least I'm interested to the dynamic of pianos and strings and seems to work! thanks!

little treat for you guys, fresh off the press:

https://app.box.com/s/hg53ztu8sbtpgvlldfen

LA Part1 - a 'linear arithmetic' synthesizer. or attempt at.
another one of my bodgy plugin attemps

it ain't pretty.
(or look at it another way, a purist synthedit plugin in the
default SE blue skin.)

this is not 'full' L.A. synthesis, it lacks many of the performance
parameters. it just implements the general principle of mashing
up PCM/sample sounds with synth oscillators. or look at it another
way, more stuff to do with a General Midi soundbank: it is powered
by a GM soundfont.

i've got lots more i want to do with this, much of it already done in
the current workfile, which i'm working hard on (right headf***).
this file is 2 years old, but i wanted to run off a draft of the last
time the thing more or less worked. you'll find a couple of GUI
objects confusing/doubled up(the switches, bottom middle are
the same function as the osc switches left side) - but it does do
some nice things with the GM set if you persevere.

would be really cool if anyone/s interested could do a soundbank
or two for it, as i haven't really had time to go deep into it. it
is just a 16 preset bank, and if i get a few i can redo it with
128 presets, and maybe a bit of a skin-up.
(this is one of a few 'unfinished' projects in my workfolder, the
pc is really struggling with the bigger SE projects now, need more
graphics memory)

whatever happened to guitarbro? i came across the 3 versions he
did of a Alpha Juno in my files, the last one of which is really not
bad at all. i reckon most people don't have it, worth a re-up if
the old links aren't still up.

Cool, thanks for the arithmetic synth! GuitarBro came and went quickly.

guitarbro's ...
tbh,i hadn't properly tested his stuff,i should cos they look like quality,he hasn't posted for a few years.
you can still find http://sarvst.110mb.com/ on the wayback and the download links will work only if you copy and paste them into you browser(they don't work directly through the wayback.)

There is a great list of chiptune VSTi here http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-plugins.php
quite some old goodies and more recent ones, DK if it has been mentioned before...

anyone check out that LA thing?

(should i persevere..?)

spacedad · Post by **spacedad** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 11:02 am

not sure what LA stuff is,is it like the yam SY things? they had pcm+dig with 'vector' joystick movement.
anyway just gave it a quick spin,not sure what everything is doing,and tried to get 4 pcm pianos going but only one was sounding,probly doing something wrong.i'll have another try.
i'll have to look up LA too to see what it is.
but it's always good to have new stuff.

Stumbled upon this free Linn Drum EMU, this one has pitch tuning for the sounds for instant Prince beatz. Has a decent sound (to my ears anyway)

Find it here - http://blog.wavosaur.com/3-free-linndru ... i-plugins/ (#2 on the page)

I don't know about the sound (and I shall not install it to make songs, because I think I don't need it in parallel to the Aly James emulation, but I'll install it to play around with it for the fun of course) but this GUI is really beautiful!

I didn't know this website.

And... Wow! It's a neat blog to have in the links!

Thanks Drew!

EDIT: there is even a RSS feed! Great! It is this link to add to your RSS reader if you have one:
