RE: [Flashcoders] OTish MP3 files for a piano scale

2011-02-08 Thread Merrill, Jason
 This doesn't have to be a particularly accurate thing - I just want it to 
 sound something like a piano.

I was going to say something similar to what Kerry said - taking samples from 
the real world as separate MP3 files.  It would seem to be pretty easy (albeit 
somewhat time consuming) to do that if you had a moderately OK mic (even one 
from Best Buy) and access to a piano or even a synthesizer. Then you'd have a 
library to work from.  You could preload all possible notes  - being they would 
be quite small files individually, wouldn't be too bad.  Heck, you could sell 
the library online for some small bucks and make money.

not realistic enough no, but the OP did say it could be simple and not have

i'd look for piano samples online (there will be oodles) and start messing
with them and if it sounds ok to you then go with it...

At this point, you might want to take advantage of one of the synth 
libraries of AS3 and use the mp3 files as your wave-table then add your 
filters  envelope generators just like a normal sample-based synth.


Probably overkill for an online distraction, but if you are going for 
quality / realism, then worth considering.  Have a look at some of Andre 
Michelle's examples or see if you can find the Flashcodersbrighton 
experiments with as3 synths if you are interested.

Probably realistic enough for the OP. He said he didn't need the
realism. 88 keys is 7+ octaves--I'm betting one sample from each
octave would be realistic enough. I would go with .wav or .aiff,
though, rather than mp3, because it starts much more quickly.

It wouldn't be enough for a realistic piano sound, though. A note
typically has 3 parts: the attack, the sustain, and the decay. High
notes have a much shorter attack and delay then low notes, as well as
different overtones. Loud notes have a very distinctive attack, and
volume controls wouldn't be able to emulate different attacks.

I think the wave-form generators mentioned are well worth looking
into--they're probably just reverse Fourier transforms. It involves a
bit more coding, but you can get a pretty realistic piano sound using
them.

I think he was referring to velocity rather than frequency - velocity 
would be difficult from a computer keyboard - you just get on or off.


If you were to change the attack and decay based on frequency, 
essentially, you could cheat and pre-apply the ADSR to a waveform 
unless you needed to calculate this, but most samples of a piano would 
have this anyway.

Of course you could base the volume control based on the frequency.
You could emulate louder notes, but I'm not talking about a
good-enough sound. I'm talking about a realistic piano sound.

There is much more that goes into the attack than volume, though.
There are overtones; noise (the hammer hitting the strings, for
example); the speed of the rise and fall, which vary by note, and
affect the harmonics differently; and other factors.

The attack, sustain, and decay are much too complex to be accurately
reproduced by simple volume control.

Henrick, I respect your coding ability, but take into account that I
am an active symphony performer with a master's in music and years of
experience with synthesizing sound. My remarks are based on acoustical
physics, not a casual knowledge of music.

Accepted, no _simple_ volume control would do. The overtones and the 
noise would have to be properly simulated too. It's just a matter of how 
much effort you want to put into it.


But I think that we can agree that he is not asking for something even 
close to what you'd tolerate.

 I would use midi, then. Midi capabilities are pretty much universal
 these days, and you'll need a lot smaller download. Plus, mp3's have a
 lag on startup--not bad, but it gets annoying pretty quickly. Midi
 won't have that problem.


Except for the tiny detail that Flash doesn't do MIDI.

Heh.

In the past I've seen occasional posts (and I think there is an official
petition to Adobe) requesting MIDI support in Flash. Anyone heard any recent
news/updates?

I suppose it might be possible in AIR? Using MIDI libraries developed in C
or whatever.
