Guitar AllStrings SF2 + smaller 61 MB + SFZ & OGG

[Spe3D]

Playing the big soundbank, I get a crackled sound (I used sfz alone, in Chainer and in Minihost). I´ve had this before with big soundbanks. My pc is Intel-celeron 2000, with 512 ram and DMX6fire (soundcard). Any suggestion ?

Hi! poepe - I had a go at creating an sfz version - but I ogg'ed the wave files so that its a smaller font and download - but may well work better for your set-up worth a try - I have just published the font here

load up the sfz file (in there is all the ogg files too, as sfz reads the ogg's look for the file with the sfz ending and load that

Buy sfz+ - it has much improved DFD over the free version.

SFZ+ is amazing (I got the early version = even better ) but it does not load sfz like sfz does - strange, I would have thought rené would have put sfz into sfz+ - has there been an update since?

I got to try this out last night. Very nice! There was some other larger guitar soundfont out there (ultimate guitar or something like that) and this just completely blows it out of the water.

thank you butter

/me waits patiently...
ETA 1h 8min...

Spe3d, you are nuts... and my hard disk's getting full, too... And I'm going to want more RAM (yeah, yeah, it's a soundfont so sfz/sfz+ will stream it in DFD but...). And it's all your fault

Thank you pljones - purchase a second hard drive fast - you are going to need more room I have lots planed - totally addicted to samples now

Wow! Really Great Spe3d

And good bandwidth ... Here I'm in 10 Mbits and I download it really quickly.

Thanks for all

Bye

250MB, eh?
Man, I'm glad those analog modem times are over! Will give that one a try later on (GetRight estimates around an hour left anyways...).

Thanks for my high bandwith connection.
Cheers to all my top managers at John keells Holdings - Sri Lanka

220 regions 10 layers – a sampled electric string No4 at every note on the finger board – the font is set to play only in the sampled key region. It’s a 79 MB font in a 61 MB zip on this link

Hi! Dimuthu

Seems the link broke in the posting for the four string version - this is the correct link (or you can visit http://audioshots.com and use the menu on the left to get to any of the sample files at audioshots.com without the need to register

Um, is it just me or...

It seems to be an octave "out" - I need to shift down an octave on my keyboard to get the usual range (compared, say, to Geoff Khan's Guitar Kit).

Also, the samples are very hot - I'm getting clipping with just a couple of notes played quite loud (in sfz - admittedly, with +6dB gain). I guess the samples were fully normalised? Not necessarily a problem, just something to be aware of really. (If sfz made it easier to switch gain in and out it would go unmentioned... but it's a regedit hack...)

I got to try this out last night. Very nice! There was some other larger guitar soundfont out there (ultimate guitar or something like that) and this just completely blows it out of the water.

Geoff Khan's Guitar Kit #1: 28Mb (one preset)
Geoff Khan's Guitar Kit #2: 60Mb (several presets)
Spe3d's Guitar: 340Mb (one preset)

So, uh, no real comparison possible .

Hi! pljones,

Is this just the sfz version with the ogg files? I am wondering if the conversion to ogg has affected them – I will check em out a bit later – the original samples were not fully normalised, I did leave some headroom though the velocity layer between 100-127 are hard plucks on the strings anything below this very smooth, I had a go at emulation of how the string reacts to hard, normal and soft playing, maybe on conversion this has been affected including the octave range – will check this out, thanks for the feedback on this – I hope its just a conversion thing

The normal install of sfz does not include the registry hack to increase volume - though if you have changed the registry to put the gain in then the font will play louder - but ok in a normal sfz install (the samples seem fine in the wave viewer so I need to look at the sfz text file next )

Best regards,

Peter

Sp3D ... thanx for a very cool offering

I love guitars

And thanks for the dem, Krim

[pljones]

Spe3d, I was using the SF2. And I tried in sfz+, too, where I don't have the extra gain and it was hitting 0dB pretty easily... tho' I tend to hammer the keys when I'm playing (er, I'm a drummer, really) so maybe if I were more subtle I'd get better value .

Anyway: Spe3d_Lead. Mmm...

mean

wife thinks it's a bit loud

Cool demo pljones thank you for posting this track great to hear it in action

Re- 0db- I think given this feedback I will in future make sure to add more volocity ranges as it gets near to the top , I have it too broad atm - also I was thinking if there are any fx that takes place near the top end, to make that a preset of its own for a different playing style - the next font is going to have this in place

Thanks! Heh, it's gone down so well I might send the link to my stepson to see what he reckons...

When I'm auditioning a soundfont I do tend to push it to (a) the maximum volume and (b) maximum polyphony as a test. For a guitar, I'd expect to be able to strum hard and loud without clipping. That should mean plenty of headroom on a single note.

(With a piano, I expect 10 notes minumum - ideally, I should be able to play hard with the sustain pedal down without clipping.)

Hi! pljones, this is good feedback as I am now making another electric font, it is going to have more volocity levels - but - the top level is going to have loads of headroom - its a clean electric like this font, just bigger and better still with preset choices for different playing styles I thought this would be better than modding the first electric posted.
