Re: VSTSynthFont hangs when playing instruments for the first time

This version doesn't seem to work correctly. I can't load it in VSTHost nor in SynthFont.
Both programs just will ignore loading it without error message. I mean, VSTHost generally won't output any information if loading failed but I thought SynthFont would at least say something.

Re: VSTSynthFont hangs when playing instruments for the first time

I tried SyFonOne and it seems to be fine in terms of file buffering. However, I get the same issues as with SynthFont live input. I've played around with buffer sizes and the latency values and I either get very choppy sound or the latency isn't very good (it's not terrible but I do notice the diffe...

VSTSynthFont hangs when playing instruments for the first time

Hi Kenneth, so I'm using VSTSynthFont lately to play with my MIDI keyboard in VSTHost. VSTHost ist quite cool in combination with VSTSynthFont because I can just play any Soundfont I like (and there is lots of them available). However, I do often run into the issue that VSTSynthFont will lock up VST...

Re: SynthFont2 cannot load Faust VST effect

Oh yeah, I've come accross this as well and I just decided to build the VST effect myself which fixed it entirely for me.

If you have MSYS2 or Cygwin installed, you can use this Makefile to build it yourself:

Re: SynthFont2 cannot load Faust VST effect

Oh, big "NEVERMIND". I just found out that the required libwinpthread-1.dll from the mingw compiler was not in the correct search path for libraries. Moving it from the VST directory to SysWOW64 fixed it (although VST Host didn't have that problem) Edit: None the less it would be quite nic...

SynthFont2 cannot load Faust VST effect

Hi Kenneth, so I found out about "Faust" today, a functional programming language for writing DSPs. There is also an online compiler to test out your own DSP effects and it even lets you create your own VST with a few clicks (at least that's what it claims): http://faust.grame.fr/onlinecom...

Re: Edited Instruments Splits in Viena, now all samples are broken

I'll try to record some video footage during my next Viena usage. That might be helpful to backtrace later.

Re: SynthFont2 wish list

Oh, I think I forgot to reply that the issue got fixed. Anyway, I'm here for another thing I noticed: The "Remove surplus events" button does only semi-works for Controller Events. Volume: 127 Volume: 127 The second Volume event will get detected correctly. If we have something like this: ...

Re: Edited Instruments Splits in Viena, now all samples are broken

Hi Kenneth, since quite a few versions (including the last one) it's impossible to add a sample from .WAV to replace an older one. Even though it warns about one existing with the same name, it won't replace it regardless of what I choose (nor does it respect the "keep root and tuning"). I...

Re: SynthFont2 wish list

I found another bug recently while selecting an SF2 preset from a SoundFont that doesn't contain an instrument with the right program number for the MIDI preset. SynthFont used to show the correct bank and midi preset number you'd select the preset for. Most of the time it now displays 000:000 and s...
