What is this?The Mx44 is a polyphonic multichannel midi realtime software synthesizer. It is written in C and hand optimized for the (Intel) MMX instruction set. It runs under Linux, using any kernel modified for realtime performance (Well ... Mandrake 10.1 works just fine for me.) The sourcecode is licensed under GPL. Implemented GS controllers ---------------------------------------- R # Ctrl 73 Attack (modifies the time value of all env stage 1 and 2) 75 Decay (modifies the time value of all env stage 3 and 4) 79 Loop (modifies the time value of all env stage 5 and 6) 72 Release (you get the drill ...) 05 Portamento (routed to intonation, being the closest match) 94 Celeste (modifies amount of frequency offset) * 07 Channel Volume (yep!) 10 Pan (rotates the sound-image) * 01 Modulation (modulation send amount from op with "Wheel" btn ON) * 70 Timbre (modulation send amount from op with "Wheel" btn OFF) * 71 Variation (balance between modulation from op 1+3/op 2+4) * 74 Cutoff Freq (resonance ctrl for oscillators connected to envelope) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Controllers marked with asterix operates in true RT mode (ie: on a sustained note.) The rest is set up at note-on Is it any good?It is very good for esoteric pads and ultra electric leads. I use it all the time together with the Rosegarden sequencer or some of my old Atari toys (like M!) I don't think you can make it sound like a realistic grand piano though, but then again: Somebody out there, please prove me wrong ;-) Why are you releasing this for free?Short and honest answer: I thought I needed the free advertizing! But I really also do think it is A Good Thing(TM) when people release free software. Who are you? Are you a monkey?That is a really good question! I have often wondered meself ;-) ...
