I’ll have to check it out. I use to own a company called Intelisense that blended interactive light and sound that was midi based.

Here is another mp3 created with LMMS . The music notes get triggered (synched) with the soundfont snips. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B07we0osMR1zYTNCRUJicjl5Uk0/view?usp=drivesdk Last time I looked soundfonts were available in *.sf2 and *.sf3. The software used to play music with soundfonts can have a preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My midi system was trigger by musical notes that were then converted into digital signals through a specialized controller. The system could be activated by interactive lights, emg impulses, dimension beams, ability switches, etc. The intelligent light projector could also be programmed to illuminate scenes mounted anywhere in the room.

Unfortunately it never took off because of the complexity. The sad part is that I missed so many precious family moments during that time period that I’ll never get back.

MuseScore and to a lesser extent LMMS are straight music playback. LMMS allows a large number of audio modulations. The synth software user can assign an instrument to be used for each part but the default instrument assignment is coded into the midi file which auto selects the various instruments to use from a single soundfont 'pack' containing hundreds of instruments. Single instrument soundfonts are available online, sometimes for a fee. MuseScore allows the notes and articulations to be edited and instruments assigned by personal choices. 'Peter and the Wolf' is a personal favorite, found as a midi on MuseScore. This is my WAV file output using soundfonts. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B07we0osMR1zUG91UUJzWWhwcEE/view?usp=drivesdk Edited August 14, 2019 by Bob Eisenman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to own and operate a recording studio in the Bay area back in the day. I used to have to completely reconstruct songs for people, so I'm pretty well versed in midi, but since I play the real thing, I just use that... Here's some recent plucking...😎 https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2544779255566078&id=100001020840253&sfnsn=mo&s=100001020840253&w=n 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome clip of you playing! Such a unique instrument. It all makes sense now, your Sitar EUC dance video and then mediating with Marty. The LA Games are definitely in good hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
