Schwa's really hit a home run with that one. Olga alone is enough to make me consider dropping OSS and going back to Reaper and VSTs. Again, that highlights what I feel is a sad state of affairs in the open source synthesis world. You'd think some upstart would have already come along and kicked the...

A fellow I know from online has coded and released an inexpensive but still commercial softsynth here: http://www.stillwellaudio.com/?page_id=37 How does it sound? It completely blows me away, which is much, much more than I can say for any OSS softsynth I've auditioned (I'm not counting LinuxSample...

That's just what I was thinking, actually. I'm going through the SndObj docs now. It looks like a very thought-out system, with all sorts of usable stuff. It'll probably even make the multirate stuff easier.

This post really had no other purpose than testing my new avatar.

That's where I'll have to play around, because I have my own ideas for modulations, filters, and oscillators that SndObj may or may not be a help in implementing. Here's the basic idea: Each voice has four cubic Bezier-curve oscillators, which allow the user to draw a waveform using points and handl...

This is my fourth attempt at a reply as my head spins around this information. I think what I'll concentrate on now is designing my synth's architecture, then I'll design and build the GUI (I've always been a "design the interface first" kind of developer). From there, I'll figure out one problem at...

Sure. There are python examples in the SndObj distribution that use Tk or wxWidget in the main thread for GUI and run the audio in the SndObj thread. And yes, handling MIDI can be done entirely in Python. What it comes down to is how many loops and list comprehensions the MIDI event handler have to...

Now, I haven't investigated if it is possible to implement new SndObj directly in Python. This isn't quite what I had in mind, actually. What I'm really wondering is if I can write the actual engine in C++ with SndObj and then implement the GUI and controls for it in Python. (EDIT: Blargh, this sti...

It was a case of my stupidly clicking the wrong button, "Edit" instead of "Quote". I had intended to quote your reply to me, cuse, in a post, and instead ended up editing your post. D'OH! I didn't even notice what I was doing because the text of your post appeared in my browser pretty much as it sho...

So could I then use SndObj with Python, doing the inner loop with SndObj and doing the GUI in Python? Presumably, the inner loop would actually be in Python, but would call only SndObj functions within, right? Or maybe not, since the GUI would need to be in a different thread. So much to learn...

I'm going to take a guess and say that the neighbors a half-mile down heard it?
