Finally, I have made a MIDI that fits within Blue Sky's draconian 3 minute maximum video length.

"Black River" (after the Masaki Kobayashi film)

Genre is "Sinister Reggae that becomes Mournful Love-making Reggae" (very specific)

Soundfont is GeneralUser GS 2.0.1

for reference, the ones used here are WeedsGM3, GeneralUser-GS, and VoiceCrystal 8mb (which i paid money for back in like 1997, endorsed by Jan Hammer!)

I am planning to play with Generaluser GS. Maybe the album cover will have a prutrait in the manner of a 70s songwriter album type scenario. dtblkfx…

considering including MIDI soundfont downloads and VirtualMidi in my pinned links or maybe even in my RM2K game downloads from now on.
Saihate Hospital sounds amazing with GeneralUser-GS or Timbres of Heaven, and absolute ear-torture dogshit with the standard Windows MIDI soundfont.

if you don't mind using soundfonts, GeneralUser-GS is a really good free soundfont with high quality instruments; other than that i haven't seen any good free violin vsts :(

Happy 909 day (aap-juce-usf2pluginをでっち上げてGeneralUser-GSの909を出せるようになった)

がんばってためしたけどりーぱーでにんしきされなかった。ほうちします
仕様理解不足

これまで試したSurge XT等の5つは、全部一発成功だった気がする
ので、これまでと違う、を理由に足切りとするのもわかりやすいだろう

もし次にもうちょっと頑張るなら、以下の順番がよいだろう
- まずFluidSynthスタンドアロンexeで、GeneralUserが鳴ることを確認する
- 次に、VST3版で、GeneralUserが鳴ることを確認する
- さらに、CLAP版で、GeneralUserが鳴ることを確認する
 ※今回いきなりやってDAWに認識されなかったのはこれ

As a user of both Google and Microsoft, I’ve felt the difference.
One feels smoother, the other feels… corporate.
Watch how I break it down. 👇

GeneralUser(というよりsoundfont全般)興味がなかったので新鮮

ほえー
権利的にクリーンな音の素材を集めて、
SC-8820系を目コピ
(いや楽曲ではなくサウンドとしての耳コピか)
をしている感じのプロジェクトか

The main soundtrack wasn't made using a soundfont, but I use this soundfont for custom MIDI playback

OmegaGMGS2 - custom soundfont that's supposed to be more balanced than most, can't find much fault w/ it
GeneralUser-GS - also pretty balanced, there's a new 2.01 version released recently
Arachno - very hit or miss

prob not going back to the default soundfont :3 #doom #gzdoom

今回つかった音源はVirtualMIDISynthの下の方にあるGeneralUser GSです

Windows 2000→XP時代には,RolandのVirtual Sound Canvas 3.0→3.2を購入して入れている程度には昔からGSが好きでした

合唱の浄書の耳による確認作業だと,ピアノとか単一音源だけではなく,全く違う楽器の音を同時に鳴らしたいのでGM/GM2/GS/XGのような音源は便利なんですよね。この場合めちゃくちゃよい音質は必要ではなく,自分がせこいなぁと思って集中を切らさない程度の質があれば十分なので。

If you make video game music or 90s house, check out my new plugin!

I've been making RomplerBox as a DecentSampler modernization of the GeneralUser soundfont, an old open source clone of the Roland General midi.

This version has a new GUI and oldschool! reverbs!

うちのBlueskyはこんな感じで
MMLを入力すると五線譜表示してwebでSoundFont演奏がされるのだ

webでの「簡単に使えるライブラリ」によるリッチな演奏は
どれくらいリッチなとこまでいけるんだろう、という興味はちょっとある
が情報を集めてないのであまりわかってない

例えば、
GeneralUser GS(SF2) + SpessaSynth を選ぶと、

このスクショ
(abcjs。中身はFluidR3 GMベースの独自sf2でbps下げた版だっけ?うろ覚え)
よりはリッチだと思う

手持ちおもちゃで鳴らせるか?うーん頑張れば鳴る可能性があるか

「GeneralUser-GSを高い互換性で鳴らせる」
オーディオプラグインについて、
Windows 、 CLAP 、 アカウント登録不要の無料、

まで絞るとたぶん現状ゼロで、

FluidSynth + clap bridge
github.com/cannerycoder...
の組み合わせを頑張って試せばなんとかなるか…?

After several years of experimentation, JonathanZ has released a #Teensy based drone synth pedal using S. Christian Collins’ GeneralUser GS SoundFont bank

My favorite is GeneralUser GS: www.schristiancollins.com/generaluser

But FluidR3GM github.com/urish/cinto/...

and Timbres of Heaven

are great too.
