I don't have any Fedora specific tips, but such sounds are pretty much by definition easy to replicate. Any basic analog-style softsynth will do. Set up a square wave oscillator, turn off the filter if possible otherwise set it to lowpass, turn the cutoff all the way up and the resonance down. Add a little vibrato if you want a more refined demo-scene style lead sound. On most synths this means applying a LFO to the oscillator frequency, use a triangle wave for authenticity. For some nice C-64 SID bass type sounds, apply a single-pole lowpass filter with resonance all the way down. The Reaktor SoundSchool Analog softsynth works good for this. Apparently there's a free standalone version you can download, if you use the evil windows/mac. There's a nifty ymVST available: http://www.preromanbritain.com/ymvst/ Which is capable of a lot of authentic Atari ST style sounds. Its based on an actual Atari chiptune tracker patch editor, but not a true YM2149 chip simulator. Once of these days I'll get around to doing an open-source clone of this... _______________________________________________ music mailing list music@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music
