FMsynth

[adrdesign]

Thank you!!! I will play ASAP

- i got it to works with midi thanks! two things.. it seems that something "chunk" was checked and the auto build wasn't checked..

- cool about exporting to an audio file.

I did a small change on the script. If open voices failed the last open voice was created with the name of the failed voice. Fixed. I guess now you can choose a directory which contain FMsynth voices and other files (should skipped now).

i put the script not in action, but from reading it save just 1 octave samples, by using SAVE8SVX1.
there is SAVE8SVX5 which does what i think you want it to do.
am i wrong?

[daxb]

FMsynth can save 8svx in two ways. SAVE8SVX1 and SAVE8SVX5 as you already mentioned. With SAVE8SVX5 you have one sample which contains all 5 octaves. With SAVE8SVX1 you have one sample which contains 1 octave of your choice. I used SAVE8SVX1 <1-5> to save each octave in an own file (sample). I don`t know for what SAVE8SVX5 is useful. Does exists software that can handle such samples? However, add/change to SAVE8SVX5 is no problem if someone needs it. Let me know.

[emufan]

ah, i see , single file for each octave.
I thought sonix is able to handle the 5 octaves in one file sample files.

AFAIK OctaMED v4 can use (haven´t tested in higher version). I bet SoundTracker Pro 2 also can handle it. Multisamples are also standard for Deluxe Music. I think we can have a very nice use for these here because the poor sample library it included.

You can edit in Audition4 (and AudioMasterIV), but I´m guessing how to edit 5 samples at once...

Ok, I`ve add the 5 octaves in one file. The voices file recognition by OPENVOICE isn`t good enough (e.g. is accepts 8svx as voice). I may add a file header recognition.

Any other wishes?

[daxb]

Ok, so far. Please report any problems.

Has anyone the source code of FMsynth 3.7? The one for V1.1 I have already.

In V1.1 source I found the sampling frequency (8363 Hz) where 8svx is saved in:

vhdr.samplesPerSec := 8363;

I searched in FMsynth exe for this value and changed it. Luckily it works. So 8svx sample can have higher frequencies. E.g. 44100 Hz seems to work although it doesn`t make sense. If you want to experiment load FMsynth into a HexEditor and search for $20AB or go to address $3596:
8363 Hz = $20AB
16726 Hz = $4156
22050 Hz = $5622
44100 Hz = $AC44

I´ve managed to adapt the existent SYSEX from Yamaha DX7 to be converted with FMSynth. It appears to use RAW syx, so it can´t have header nor checksum. So I opened some SYX with xvi32 hex editor, cut the very 1st 6 bytes and the last two. So we have a a 4096 bytes long SYX, compatible with FMConverter.

I´ve created a script to mass convert these after chopping that 8 bytes. Just put it in FMConvert/ drawer along "move" command (included). put some 4096-long syx (recursive folder allowed) and execute. It will create 16386-long-once-rendered presets with velocity 100.

It would be magic if someone makes a command to do that work. I mean, cutting 6 first bytes and the trailing 2 bytes. We could convert finally the entire library...

thanks everyone involved in this post, Im astonished with my amiga again

on this dx7 support website - next to many sysex and raw files, there is a tool,
which convert from raw to sysex. it comes as c source, which i attach here.
its that simple, that someone skilled can easily do the other way, anyone ?

[tolkien]

I have made a quick and dirty modification of that source code and tried in winuae.
I think It works.

Pero solo lo creo pues son las dos de la mañana!

Edit: attachment removed

[emufan]

thanks alot tolkien - it does really work
the resulting outputfiles i can extract with fmconvert.
trouble is - after successfully writing the outputfile with FmSynthDX7.exe it does a guru (8100 0005) everytime.
tested on A1200 setup ( winuae only here - kick/wb 3.0 030/882 2chip 64 z3 fast - JIT on/off makes no diff).

[tolkien]

Ops! I'll try later in my real A1200 and with differents winuae setups.
Its a real simple prog but it was late.

Sorry mate.

np, just reporting. the guru starts after the outputfile is written. maybe it is just some compiler option. I'm ready to test a new version

[tolkien]

I have scaped from the family 2 minutes to change the buffer allocation that I think was the problem. In my setup is ok.
Please tell me if It´s ok now.

excellent. now it works without problem.
do you mind attaching the source code?
thanks.

ps: maybe you should remove the first version from above

[tolkien]

Sure. No problem with the source code. Now I am with the smartphone but I'll do.

cool. I saw you were using vbcc, so i just installed it too. was easier than I initially thought
