I dont want to stop Horgand, i haved plenty of fun developing, and i learn a
lot of DSP .. and other things ... really nice, but ... last week i was
thinking a lot about how power the sound in horgand ... and .. there is no
way to do it if i want run horgand in a small machines. I have a synth engine
for do it, but i need almost four sounds, one for each hand and two for
accompaniment, and also do the drums in soundtracker way... and that needs a
lot of CPU resources.
And yes .... i start "gmorgan" ... using soundfount players ... really no CPU
cost if you have a soundcard ... and we have a good soundfont synths ..
timidity and fluidsynth. I pretend generate the accompaniment paterns reading
Midi files, with a especific format in a easy way because is hard to do a
drum & score editor. I dont know how to do it :-)
Thanks.
Josep
