Re: A (short) happy tune made with Yoshimi, Hydrogen, and Synth1

I recognise some of those sounds :)

Nice work.

P.S.
I've been rather tied up with all sorts of things these last months - really need to listen to more music!

Re: Sonoj Convention 2024: This Weekend, In-Person, Video Stream and Live-Chat

Yoshimi - HoHum a bugfix already

There were three of them. The first was a failure to test a headless build and there was a detail we'd forgotten. The second was not accounting for some less common build environments. The third was a total surprise. It was a bug in effects that goes back at least 6 years and probably further, but o...

Yoshimi 2.3.3 out now!

Version 2.3.3 Configuration control has been improved - using start-up options no longer modifies the stored settings, but if you change a setting while running, just that configuration change is stored. There has been further work on GUI themes management, along with unification and consolidation o...

Re: Why using Linux for music production?

With any synth, hard or soft, the importance of good default settings can't be overstated. To that end I give a shout out for Paul Nasca. The values he decided on in 2006, have remained untouched by us in Yoshi, and I would guess the same is true for Zyn. Enable any feature in any engine or effect a...

Re: Obligatory hello from the UK - London and Cambridge

Depends on what you want to do, and how much you're into bells and whistles :lol:

Re: Libre Music Challenge #32: Drum and bass

I'm very grateful for the reviews, and they pretty much confirm what I guessed - D&B isn't really my 'thing'.
The only reason I haven't done reviews myself is that I tend to have only a gut feeling about music, and can't verbalise what I think - sorry.
