You're describing a midi renderer. You just want to adjust the envelope? Grab a soundfont editor (swami) and add modulators to the instruments you want to work with. Use a single source, set to an unused midi CC, and a destination of volume envelope -> attack/hold/delay/sustain/etc. Create one for each parameter you want to control. Want to adjust something else? Probably can do it the same way. Now just use fluidsynth to play the note, and send it CC messages to adjust those settings. Or use any other soundfont-compliant midi renderer, including a lot of keyboards, and do the same thing. This is what midi keyboards were *invented* to do; the rest came later. It's not specific to fluidsynth. Mutating sounds is the main purpose of the technology. Normally the CCs would be driver by sliders on a physical keyboard. (IIRC, supercollider is jack-based, so you can just route fluidsynth's output into it directly in real time) _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
