Hmm... for some reason this will not compare to my Terrorcore piece... enough advertising and bragging.
This is nice. I like this... I am liking this quite a bit. I like the jarring transitions... they emphasize the speed of the piece which makes it all the better.

It sequences patterns together, really useful when you have drum patterns in the step sequencer.

Certain engraved members of the Remix101 forum, being Compyfox, Analoq and I... and a few others (yes, you too Protricity) have been coming across the laziness of newbies to the forum who post the same question over and over, even/especially if it has been posted with their own threads a multiple amount of times.
I would like to state to all the newbies who come into this forum and make broad questions like "Where are some techno sounfonts?" or "Where are some drum samples?" or things like that. These aggravate the regulars of this forum due to these questions have already been raised and have been answered, and the answers STAY for quite a while. Please make note of that. Techno soundfonts? There are a few threads devoted to this.
We also encourage finding the soundfonts for yourself and experimenting with each and one of them. Also, do not resort to just soundfonts. There are other sources of neat tools that will produce better than satisfactory results. There are tools like vst, vsti, dx, dsxi, au plugins which either manipulate or generate sounds. Seek them, and make sure you have the right software to run them. (FruityLoops does not run AUs... whish is a pity... that would be interesting to see it in FruityLoops 5 though. Very interesting indeed.
Also, in this very topic about soundfonts, it is no flaming matter if you bring up a website that has it's own unique soundfonts. Please do share to others this newly discovered resource. Also, please make sure it is new and hasn't been proclaimed on these boards.
Just remember, we want to reduce the flame wars that happen on this particular forum. Do not spoil it for everybody.
I made my 5,000th post to point this all out.

It is not a sample format. FruityLoops will not detect it under the Sample Browser. However, it will detect it under the plugin search I described for you in my previuous post.

dll, xi, sf2, fsc, wav, mid, syn
all are these are files.
Now, at kvr-vst, you want to download zips with dll files in them and have vst or dx rating on them. AU does not count.
Download and unzip to your folder that has vst in the FruityLoops directories. This may take a minute or two for you to find it and locate it.
Once you do, put it there (duh!). Now open up FruityLoops, and you habe the menu bar (File, Edit View...) and go to the Channels and go to Add one... Then at the very top will say more. Click on more and you get a new window. In the bottom left hand corner, there is a button called ReFresh. Click on it and there are two options. Click the Fast Scan (or which ever one is recommended.) The new plugin will appear in red. Check it with an F in the corresponding box. Then double click it to open it.

Get the highest version, unless you have economic limitations. The versions are not "learning steps", so to speak. Rather just added features appear as you progress from the lowest to the highest. These features do not confuse the beginners.

Actually, certain VSTis have different filters than others. Other's have a certain delay capabilities. Others have have different Oscillator capabilities. Some VSTis use a lot less CPU power than other VSTis. For example, it would be overkill to use an FM7 to do what the PM4 does with much less CPU usage.
Though, there are some VSTis which are a waste of space.
-
You have too many? Wanna hook me up with some?
-
clap seems a tad weak... IMO.
Otherwise catchy. I could also see the melody become some sugar-pop... but we wouldn't necessarily want that here.
And the kick is a tad quiet. Needs to be a slight more punchier throughout the mix... IMO (again)
-
This thread is still alive? I remember this when I was still in Gen Disc only. (Of which I wasn't here for long).
Ne boss that is ticking me off. The Statue of Liberty in "Samurai Zombie Nation". I hate the snakes... I hate the snakes...

Ok... here's my problem. If I load a VSTi generator in the FX panel, can I make a MIDI file to be associated with it so that it plays it? Or does it only accept live MIDI date (of which I can't do cuz my PC doesn't accept my M-Audio keyboard. Anyone know?
No, VSTs don't only accept live data. Just copy the pattern from one of your imported MIDI channels into a VST channel. (But you probably already figured that out, right?)
EDIT: Also, see Humanoid Typhoon's post above...you can also just open the piano roll for a VST channel, click the keyboard icon at top-left, and import a MIDI (either the whole thing or a specific channel).
I know that. But I was putting VSTis in the FX Mixer and not into a channel. I know you can do it in the channel, but U need to make a note that when you want to control particular parameters only when the VSTi is loaded into the FX mixer will it work. If it is in the channel, then those parameters will not function. I have noticed this for a fact with a few synths, not all... so I was just wondering.
-
Ooh... a mix with a substantial amount of vocals. This is a keeper just for that. And I likes vocoding...
And I just like the arrangement...
Ooh... the vocoding gets even BETTER... nice...
And I likes that drum.
My only complaint would be that the high is a bit too hot... but that is probably me, no?
-
Ok... now this is funny. Nice work.
-
I remember this in the WIP, and I remember it was something along a Spanish Disco... or something.... I dunno.
-
Heh, I like your idea of posting that question here... saves thread space.
Anywho... learn to improve your midis. Improve to the point that you are sure you are nailing those songs. Then, you might wanna consider FruityLoops. You don't wanna amass all the tools on the first workday, you'll be totally overwhelmed by it all.
-
remember, LFO over time = f(SongTime())
therefore:
sin LFO
a+b*Sin(SongTime()*c)
What do you want the LFo to do exactly? As a sub-oscillator that creates audible low frequencies or it to control something like a flanger or a delay or a SVF?
also check out mda's Envelope vst. Basic Envelope that puts an envelope on audio. The vstis that don't have an envelope are designed to be without them.

first listen:
nice drum work *clap clap clap*
reverse kick... ummm....
The build between 1:55~2:05 sounds quite weak... I mean it's only drums. Drum roll sounds a tad too cliche.... filtering sweep riser would make me .... make me... go wow?
Going anywhere? Sounds nice and fluid... I don't know about it going anywhere... but nice variation you got there. Nice nice.
Pretty good... just that build seems weak at that particular spot.
-
I still maintain that FruityLoops preset cymbal is the best cymbal sample that I have. There is just something about the other cymbals.... I'm sure it is the general tonality of the song.
Nice retro feel. I still use fruity preset samples (from 2.7, 3.5.6 and 4.01... making quite a lethal arsenal.) and this has the presets going right. Probably did this whole mix some justice. I'd hate it to be remixed with orchestral soundfonts.
Hmm... Though it could have used a bit more tweaking here and there.
-
Visigoth, no. Well, actually you might be able to do something akin to that with a machine called Peer LFO, but I've never used it, so I'm not exactly sure what it can do / how powerful it is.
Fruity Formula Controller works like that.
Tis sad when there is no triangular waveform formula.
a+b*2^IfGE(Frac(Songtime()*c),0.5)*Frac(Songtime()*c)-1
I think that is right...
-
I think I've got the general jist of it now and I'm starting to see where the electronica style comes from
It's a fun piece of software and I think it'll be fun for chiptune like music, but other than high aliased "digital" sounds I'm not counting on doing much else with this. I'm not about to take Cubase back to the store anyway!
Writing melodies is surprisingly easy and fun, but I think it's real limitation comes in the form of automation. Unless I still haven't found the feature that allows you to calculate smooth changes in, say, filter cut-off, it's pretty limited from that point of view... unless you don't mind typing in every single midi value, that is
Can formulas be applied to automation?
-
I have about 30 or so for you. Wait until I get the song on drew's ftp for ya.
-
So... what samples do you want? I can give you the whole samples thing (without the vstis)... it would be a 300 MB d/l. Or you can make it smaller and ask for a specific genre of sounds and samples.
-
Me. Ask and I will zip, and put it on an ftp for you.

That is one thing we tell our noobs. Do not be afraid to tweak those knobs, you'll never know what cool sound you might come up with.
And check the licks thread for vst pages that will have links to gates... they will help you.
