If anyone is looking for a multi-sample player in PD.... I found this today and is very fun to play with:
https://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/yellotron-a-mellotron-with-p...
Installation notes:
- I had lots of problems grabbing the Mellotron library (server would drop
the connection). Be sure to use something like wget or FileZilla which knows how to pick up a failed transfer from where it left off.
- There is a minor bug, a typo in one directory name, which this command
should fix after installing:
$ mv CombindeChoir CombinedChoir
- This seems like a general purpose multi-sample player. With this patch
and with something like the OLPC Free Sample Library, you should be able to have grand pianos, and an entire orchestra at your fingertips!
Now I know many PD purists eschew sample-players and prefer to "roll your own". One thing I hope to do some day is to analyze some of these multi-samples and try to model & parameterize them for re-synthesis.
But for now, I'm having fun pretending to be Edgar Froese...
enjoy-- BH
