Hello Andy!
What kind of sound are you looking for in general? More of an
analogue synth sound, a real piano or what?
In general you can record a piece with rosegarden or any other of
the big MIDI sequencers. They would record knob and slider movements
from a MIDI keyboard, while it is played. You might also record some
controller movements in a seperate track and use them to control some
kind of effect plugin, so this would be in the audio domain, in the
sense, that the effect (filter or whateve) is an audio plugin and not
part of the MIDI synth you use to generate the sound.
For good pianos you might use LinuxSampler with one of the free
grandpianos (or a bought one). I think LinuxSampler also has a simple
filter. For some of the basic "effects" like filter, volume and
portamento there are standard controls. I think even for a simple
volume ADSR, but I'm not sure LinuxSampler reacts to them.
If you want to go synth, then the field is big. You have some DSSI
plugins, you have Bristol, which is nice, because you can attach a
certain controller on your keyboard to a certain parameter of the
synth. There's Yoshimi which is a purely waveform based synth. It
specialises in lovely pads, choirs and the like.
I think if your MIDI controls, used during the original performance,
don't correspond to the MIDI controls needed for your final synth
tweaking, you might be able to map them in a good MIDI sequencer or
using some kind of MIDI filter/mapper.
You really should be able to find the software you need on Linux. It
only depends on what you need exactly.
Kind regards
Julien
Hi julien,
Thanks for the advice.
I was thinking of a synthy sound, where the sound is generated from
oscillators and filters, rather than a wavetable based synth.
