Lunahorum Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Some synths have a midi keymapper so the eq changes to fit the sound (subtractive synthesis) How do I do this with a marimba sound font I found? It has some nasty overtones that I have located with band pass filters and now they are being notched filtered, but it only works for 1 or two notes. I want it to work for all the notes or at least enough to get a melody through. This idea is similiar to keymapping in subtractive synthesis I believe where the filter changes depending on how high the fundamental midi note is. Does anyone know if there is an EQ out there that will do this??? I thought about layering the marimba and a synth to the same midi notes and somehow turning the oscillators off and running the marimba through the synth's keymapped filters, but I am not smart enough to figure out how to implement this. If it helps, I have demos of live, fl, reason, sonar, traktion, and I have reaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Call me old fashioned, but if it's a soundfont, I'd just open it up in Synthfont/Viena (or Vienna if you have a Creative card) and notch each sample (or group of samples) as I see fit. It's not elegant, but it’s simple, and provided that the soundfont is small, it's quick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunahorum Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 yea. That would work definitely. Take way toooooo long. Unless someone good with programming can write a script that goes through the 30 megs of waves editing each one with a specified EQ. I guess I only have to edit the ones I use but still... it would take too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 30megs? Must be a heluva marimba. Where'd you pick that up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunahorum Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 it's from some torrent i downloaded. I figured it out btw. Fruity keyboard controller owns all. Route to formula controller then to eq frequency with the appropriate ratio (experimentation) and whoala. HEHEHE o yea. Let's see cubase pull that off. edit: is there a vst that can do the equivalent of the fruity keyboard controller? Cause that plugin is awesome.

Fray Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm not sure if most DAW's are really able to use notes as automation in that way. That's pretty cool I'll have to see if Sonar can do anything like this sometime. I've always relied on the filters within a given synth for any key-sync control.
