So, I made a softsynth for a school project. We had to make a music/sound clip, but it had to make use of a provided short flute sample. I ended up resynthesizing a flute-ish pad sound with white noise and an IIR filter of crazy length. The IIR filter was derived with linear prediction.
The clip is here: https://soundcloud.com/zoned-music/brea … -sound-wip Source: https://github.com/Themaister/airsynth. Runs on ALSA (MIDI and sound).
It kinda sounds like something from the 8bit or 16bit Castlevanaia, at least to me. : P
I love softsynths, they were an obsession of mine for a few years. Sounds really nice to me. Just listening to your other tracks on Soundcloud too - wow! Reminiscent of the great Mike Oldfield. As if creating RetroArch wasn’t enough, you’re an amazingly talented guy Maister!
Okay, softsynth GUIs were my thing for a while:

I am currently learning C++ but am currently not very confident (posted about it in the Development forum). I would gladly make a GUI for airsynth and hook it up - if I can reach the level of skill required. I think it would be a good project for me as it combines practically all of my interests.
