Re: I must tell you

Yeah timbre-mill and the other tools sadko4u has created for me have been incredibly useful for my sampling projects. It's not a new idea but I'm sure sadko4u would implement it well, as with all of his plugins. SpectMorph is OSS software and been around for ages - https://spectmorph.org/ I believe ...

Re: AI aided software development

For example yesterday I wanted to know how to find for multiple substrings within another string using PHP. My usual approach would be stristr and a loop but I was pretty sure there was a regex way to do it. ChatGPT provided a perfect answer that I was able to adapt for my needs. Regex is way slowe...

Re: AI aided software development

For programming tasks I use ChatGPT as a kind of aggregator for programming searches. Before ChatGPT I would type a question into a search engine and then trawl through pages of stack overflow. Now I type the same question into ChatGPT and it's already done the trawling and just gives me the answer....

Do you use any proprietary VSTs or libraries?

No, the only proprietary software on my system is the bios and firmware.

Re: Orchestral Mockup in Musescore 4

Ah that makes sense. We care about different things. I would gladly pay $1000 for Musescore because it is free software, I wouldn't use Dorico even if it cost $0.

I'm not going to be looking into the source code. My spare time is exclusively for writing music.

Why do you use Musescore and not something like Sibelius or Dorico with Note Performer?

Re: Orchestral Mockup in Musescore 4

My assessment of risk is exclusively on the issue of legality I don't quite understand what you mean here. Are you talking about your personally liability for infringing copyright? In spite of M4 being open source, I have no control over its features. It lacks Jack transport now, and I am powerless...

Re: Orchestral Mockup in Musescore 4

I differentiate between the software and the audio samples. I won't run software that I don't have control over. I want to be able to audit, edit, and redistribute the software I run. The samples and any other "assets" I'm less concerned about, although I prefer if they are sharable. there...

Re: Orchestral Mockup in Musescore 4

They locked the projects for the final push on 4.1. The community contribution list was moved to another area. Oh well that's a bit better than I thought. I have no interest in using MuseSounds due to the proprietary license. But since the API is open to anyone hopefully a free option will be avail...

Re: Orchestral Mockup in Musescore 4

It seems they have no intention of adding vst support for Linux unfortunately. It was originally listed as being added in v4.1, then it was moved to the community tasks, and yesterday it was removed from the to do list on github.

But I'd much prefer midi out to plugin hosting

I hope they re implement MIDI out so I can use my own sounds.

I'm aware of that is as open and available to all as SFZ instruments.

HISE instruments (assuming GPL licensed) are. But they require a much greater skill level to be able to build than SFZ.

Re: The most future proof format for sampled instruments is SFZ

Non player Kontakt instrument samples aren't encrypted, just compressed. I think SFZ is a brilliant format. However the lack of scripting limits its usefulness for more complicated instruments. There are also various features it doesn't support or handle well which are very important for larger libr...

Re: Celtic percussion loops

Here you go. You can ignore the note names in the file names, they were just used for mapping them to a sampler's keyboard, they don't mean anything in relation to the actual audio.
