My home made console is taking shape

2009-12-03T17:34:03Z

Update on my home brew DIY Wurlitzer theatre organ (virtual) console.

Here is a picture of what my console will look like. Mine will be black and have two swell pedals and crescendo plus four keyboards and stops. The pictured console was made from the same plans that I am working from with the exception that my plans were updated for four keyboards.

Is Pete Theisen posting his classic organ build on the thread anymore?

Re: Loading dispositions on Mac w/o fluidsynth extension

2009-12-03T15:32:26Z

I have a version of jOrgan working natively on the mac using multiple instances of fluidsynth. See my previous postings on how I did this. I also now have a version running natively on the Mac linking directly to AU Lab as recently posted by. I am still tweaking the sound as it isn't as good at fluidsynth yet. Not sure why not, but hopefully I can get it sounding as good as it was considerably easier to set up. If I win that battle, I'll post here with the results.

Re: Loading dispositions on Mac w/o fluidsynth extension

Jonathan,

After struggling for over a year to get jOrgan operating on my Mac I have finally succeeded. I have used the Mac program "Boot Camp" with OS 10.6 ("Snow Leopard"). It works perfectly in all respects, including with multiple instances of Fluidsynth. This method, although somewhat defeatist in that it involves a second HD partition loaded with either Windows Vista or XP, permits the identical jOrgan functions to those available to a PC operator. IMHO it is the best currently available solution to the problem of jOrgan on a Mac.

Boot Camp is superior to "Parallels" as the latter, which involves a "virtual machine", is fraught with unacceptable latency which is not a problem at all with Boot Camp.

In specific, it would be nice to load Paul Stratman's many dispositions into jOrgan on the Mac even thought the fluidsynth extension is not available for the Mac. Once loaded, I would like to rework the output end so it was routed through some other generator (i.e. fluidsynth via some pipe, or AU Lab). However, as it currently stands I can't open them at all and so have no basis to start editing.

Thanks,

Re: Some updates...

2009-12-02T21:20:23Z

I remember that old versions of Fluidsynth had a different volume curve and voicings from the disposition (set 7 commands) were interpreted differently than Creative. The different volume curve also affected the way swell volume behaved. Now Creative and Fluidsynth are about the same.

I renamed all the previous SFZ dispositions as GEN for "Generic," and added a small "disclaimer."

Generic dispositions will require connections through MIDI-OX to a VST Host with a Soundfont synthesizer like SFZ. Users of SFZ may need to make modifications because of SFZ's interpretation of volume attenuation commands.

Mac users can use SFZ dispositions with AU-Lab as the Soundfont synthesizer host.

Hopefully this is what some have been looking for, and hopefully my terminology is more accurate.

Yes, that's the whole point. That's where it happens.
I haven't tested what happens with settings managed from the disposition (I
assume that means settings within the MIDI messages). But I suspect the
sound engines would behave in much the same way.

One can argue that the differences are not very significant. However, when
you are talking about combining stops of different pitches, a few dB makes
quite a lot of difference in the relative brightness etc.

Subject: [jOrgan-user] Speakers?

Guys,

Need some advice.....

The speakers I am currently using on jOrgan are really not good enough, and
were used as a 'stop gap' until I had things running properly.

Now I need something better.

I did see the thread some time back on speakers - but those suggested are
well out of my price range!

So....
Am I better going for a powered monitor like the Samson Resolv 80a or
Behringer B2031A Or something like a Studiomaster PAX10?

My budget is less than £300.... and even Santa won't be more generous!

Many thanks
Andy

Yes, literally no other changes.

With the exception of "Arlesheim" (and a couple ranks on Silbermann Sopienkirche) I do all voicing and volume settings in the soundfont. Would SFZ's different interpretation of volume settings change volume if the settings are in the soundfont?

I just loaded "Arlesheim" with SFZ. The voicing was a little different. (There are many voicing changes in the disposition rather than the soundfont.) It was workable.

Paul,

Don't forget that the soundfont Attenuation Settings in SFZ all differ from
Fluidsynth significantly. Settings for Fluidsynth, Creative soundcards and
VSTSynthFont all agree, but SFZ numbers need to be less to line up with the
others, except for very low number ones. I posted the comparative figures
quite some time ago. Perhaps it's time I put them on my website for easy
access.
Let me remind you (and everyone else) that for some reason the ACTUAL
attenuation in dB produced by ALL these settings is approximately HALF what
the setting number leads you to expect. For example, if the setting is 30,
the SFZ attenuation ends up being 18 dB, and the attenuation of all the
others is 12 dB. Put in other terms, if you want 12 dB attenuation from
Fluidsynth and the others, the Attenuation Setting would need to be 30, but
the SFZ Attenuation Setting would need to be 20.

Re: Loading dispositions on Mac w/o fluidsynth extension

2009-12-01T18:01:25Z

I ran this test again and it seemed to work just fine (not sure why it didn't work last night). For the mac users out there I ran it directly from jOrgan into AU lab. Worked nicely... For others' reference the XML code I deleted was:

<fluidsynth.fluidsynthSound id="8">
<name>Flemish Grand Harpsichord</name>
<description></description>
<references/>
<messages/>
<soundfont>Flemish_Grand_Harpsichord_1.0.sf2</soundfont>

<room>0.1</room>
<damping>0.9</damping>
<width>0.1</width>
<level>0.1</level>
</reverb>
</fluidsynth.fluidsynthSound>

that is everything between the <fluidsynth...> and </fluidsynth...>. Make a note of the id number -- in this case 8. What I replaced it with was:

<genericSound id="8">
<name>Neobaroque SFZ</name>
<description></description>
<references/>
<messages/>
</genericSound>

that is, everything between <genericSound...> and </genericSound> in another working disposition. Note that I changed the id to match to original fluidsynth element. Then I opened it, fixed the errors (input, output, skin location), and bingo it worked...

Thanks to all for your advice...

Re: Convolution Reverb

2009-11-30T17:03:53Z

I have used convolution reverb almost exclusively for several years. In windows I use freeverb3.sourceforge.net as a vst plugin to reaper. I have multiple instances of SFZ (vsti plugins to reaper) or an instance of linuxsampler as the soundsource. Haven't figured out how to do this with fluidsynth in windows since there's no ASIO driver.

In Linux, using jackaudio.org and jconv, this works very well with fluidsynth and with linuxsampler. There's lots of available impulse responses, see the list on the freeverb3 website.

Problem of multiple instances of SFZ running in VSTHost solved (Off Topic)

2009-11-30T13:41:56Z

For those interested in the solution to the problem where very loud
crashing sounds are produced when running multiple instances of SFZ
under VSTHost on a multi-CPU(core) computer, I think I have found a
solution.

Multiple instances of the SFZ VSTi running within VSTHost can run
successfully if and only if they are single threaded in a
multi-processor cpu environment. You can make this happen in VSTHost by
forcing VSTHost itself to run on a single processor.

This is accomplished very easily by including the command line
paramenter "/numProcessors=1" on the command line of your vsthost.exe
startup icon. This forces VSTHost itself to run everything in a single
cpu on a multi cpu computer.

I have been playing the Stratman ACO 4.0 organ all day today without a
single SFZ crash with four instances of SFZ running in VSTHost.

Hi John,

I find I am using Vienna 2.3 - not 2.2 as I stated earlier. Specifically I wish to globally reduce "Attenuation" at the instrument level. Creating a Global component has no effect on the individual samples list underneath. Where one-note-per-sample soundfonts are involved it is obviously very laborious to have to reset the attenuation for each note separately. I thought this was the purpose of the Global function.

The actual soundfont I am attempting to modify is "JL_trumpet.sf2" which has all samples attenuated a minimum of 11db. I wish to reduce this by 11db in all samples.

Regards,

Don.

or if the reverb of the sample is set to 100, a setting of 25 in the Global
Zone will be of no effect.

If the data entered in the Global Zone is ignored by the instrument samples,
try entering the data at the instrument level. It would help if you could
tell exactly what type of data you are attempting to put into the Global
Zone.

Re: Problem with Vienna

The easiest version of Vienna Soundfont Studio to use is Version 2.3,
although the latest version is 2.4. Data is "level-relative", i.e.,
certain data have to be entered at the "sample" level. Specific data
entered at the sample level may or may not be overridden by settings in the
Global Zone. For example, setting the reverb in the Global Zone to 100
will not take effect if the reverb setting at the Sample level is set to 7
or if the reverb of the sample is set to 100, a setting of 25 in the Global
Zone will be of no effect.

If the data entered in the Global Zone is ignored by the instrument samples,
try entering the data at the instrument level. It would help if you could
tell exactly what type of data you are attempting to put into the Global
Zone.

Re: Loading dispositions on Mac w/o fluidsynth extension

2009-11-29T18:57:58Z

Greetings Gents..

...I got the flu and haven't been doing much. I will work on some of the issue's related to loading other dispositions, my intent is to rework any necessary so they will work on mac and then post the "how to's".

Remember this... AU Lab IS the sound engine. Midi data can be "piped" in and out of it on multiple channels. The channels are set up in "IAC Driver" and can even be given custom names that will show up in jOrgan. Multiple soundfonts can be hosted by AU Lab... I currently have 3 selectable.

I have to go to Dallas for 5 days and work on computers. I am looking forward to doing more research when I return.

Kindest Regards

Thanks for the idea. I worked on that after my post. I was able to load the disposition, but as of yet, have not been able to get it working. I'll post more if/when I get it going with suggestions for other users who would like to attempt these changes.

Try the ACO_4.1 package. Download the update from here:

http://ftp.pwp.att.net/p/a/pastorstratman/downloads/downloads.htm

It now includes "SFZ" dispositions, really Fluidsynth dispositions with Generic sound elements.

ACO_4.1_2P-31_SFZ

ACO_4.1_3P-49_SFZ

ACO_4.1_3P-104_SFZ

ACO_4.1_4P-53_SFZ

I just exchanged generic sound elements for the Fluidsynth elements. More work, and perhaps an additional division of each element may be neccessary. This is as start. See if they can be opened under Mac and keep me up-to date on the progress.

Re: Loading dispositions on Mac w/o fluidsynth extension

2009-11-29T11:48:13Z

A simpler way to deal with this, using a simple text editor, would be to
edit the disposition XML file (which is just a text file, after all),
locating all the "fluidsynth" elements' XML object blocks.

Replace each fluidsynth block with a corresponding "genericSound" block,
making SURE to copy the id="nnn" value from the fluidsynth block to its
corresponding "genericSound" block. Failure to do this accurately will
result in a corrupted disposition file.

Save the result as a COPY under a different name in order to protect the
original.

Here is what a typical "fluidsynth" XML block looks like:
====================================================
<fluidsynth.fluidsynthSound id="nnn">
<name>SWELL (Fluidsynth)</name>
<description></description>
<references/>
<messages/>
<soundfont>D:\Soundfonts\American_Classic_Organ_4.0.sf2</soundfont>
<channels>32</channels>
<polyphony>256</polyphony>
<sampleRate>44100</sampleRate>
<audioDriver>dsound</audioDriver>
<audioDevice>Realtek HD Audio output</audioDevice>
<audioBuffers>6</audioBuffers>
<audioBufferSize>512</audioBufferSize>
<gain>0.5</gain>
</fluidsynth.fluidsynthSound>
====================================================

And here is what a typical "genericSound" XML block looks like:
====================================================
<genericSound id="nnn">
<name>SWELL (Generic)</name>
<description></description>
<references/>
<messages/>
<output>Java Sound Synthesizer</output>
</genericSound>
====================================================

A disposition XML file that has the "Fluidsynth" elements removed should
now be openable and editable with the jOrgan "Construct Mode" editor on
the Mac. And replacing each "fluidsynth" element with a "genericSound"
element should preserve the references to all the corresponding ranks.

So, all you have to do is edit each genericSound element to reference
the appropriate sound device in your Mac system.

Re: Loading dispositions on Mac w/o fluidsynth extension

2009-11-29T10:23:54Z

My knowledge of Mac and the software that works with it is next to nothing.

I do have some ideas. It seems that an "SFZ" type arrangement may work. If there is an SFZ type program that works with Mac, you would have to do this:

Take a Fluidsynth disposition.

Create Generic soundsources for each Fluidsynth soundsource. Connect them to your SFZ type program through MIDI-OX or similar Mac program.

Load soundfont into the SFZ type program.

That's where I think you'd start. Someone may have much more light on the subject.

Re: Volume Drop

2009-11-28T10:50:07Z

Hi, "Grackleman"

Yes I have had similar problems, but not waht I would call random. The sound drops off mainly, but occassionally even gets louder, and as though the organ has also gone badly out of tune.
I have now put another 1Gb of RAM in my PC and the sound quality, particularly the ACO 4, has improved and almost cured the sound problem. A check on the graph produced by Windows Task Manager (Windows XP Pro Sp3, Dual Core 1.8GHz) shows plenty of spare RAM, before I had only 400Mb spare. After I have been playing for about an hour or so I still get the "sound" problem, but only with full organ, and I don't mean ALL the stops. It's as though the PC is getting "choked". I have put the soundfonts on a different HD but this doesnt appear to make any difference. Does any know what the computing process is in producing the sounds. Would the boys at sf2, who I believe are looking at sf2 again, be interested in making improvements for its use in conjunction with jOrgan.

Chris Pearson

Hi
Has anyone experienced a random drop in volume (about down to 60%) of the whole organ while playing? At first I thought it might be a soundcard/mixer problem but it has done it now on a desktop system with Ubuntu 8.04 and a laptop with Windows. I'm using a modified fluidsynth ACO disposition by Paul Stratman. It's occasional and seemingly random.
Thanks
