[Rosegarden-user] Replacing instruments

2016-06-26 Thread Silas Mortimer
Hi, it's me again. Okay, so I've been reading about how sfz files tend to be better than sf2. I've also found a better orchestral soundfont, which is good, because I don't know what synth program that will work with Rosegarden will load sfz files or how to do it. So, my point is this: I started a

Hiya, it's me again. I have a temporary, version one sorta complete piece made from the first one I started making on Rosegarden. It's short and if someone would like to check it out, look here: https://ralopyb.bandcamp.com/track/rapid-cycle The thing is that it's kind of artificially shortened,

I have a song that begins with an intro that I wrote in Rosegarden, then transitions to a guitar/bass/drum-based song. I'm making the drum line in Hydrogen. I've run into a little trouble in trying to match the rhythm of the song to the one in the intro. What I've found: 180 BPM in Hydrogen is *no

Ignore that last question. Since you're using the matrix editor, I suppose it's entirely possible there, where I wouldn't be able to use it via the notation editor. On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 4:58 PM, Silas Mortimer wrote: > This is excellent! Good find! But tell me if I hav

This is excellent! Good find! But tell me if I have this right: This only works across multiple staves, right? Meaning, if you're making a chord in a nonpercussion instrument, you couldn't use this method to arpeggiate the chord, right? If that's case, I wonder if it could be extended that way. In

Of course, it's orchestral strings, so there are no chords. Still, I think I could probably even redo the first one better now. I think I might just repair it if I can, though. On Fri, Apr 8, 2016 at 4:44 PM, D. Michael McIntyre wrote: > On 04/08/2016 12:29 PM, Silas Mortimer wrote: > >

Hi. I'm not only new to Rosegarden, I'm new to computer composing beyond using guitarix/Hydrogen/Ardour for recording. I've been working on a piece and learning bit by bit as I go along. Of course, this means that I'm making a lot of mistakes as I go. The trouble winds up in the notation editor. B
