How to use sf2 files in synthesia driver#
(Which I eventually replaced, but still.)ĭo you feel like your driver is complete now? He helped me a lot with some issues I was having with some parts of his code. Oh, and of course, the driver wouldn't be where it is now, without kode54's help from behind the scenes. (While still giving credits to kode54, of course.) I really didn't want to ruin kode54's original source code, so I decided to create my own repository.
How to use sf2 files in synthesia code#
The driver was born back in 2015, when a friend of mine wanted a version of BASSMIDI Driver with higher polyphony, but then I started working on it more and more, to the point where most of the original source code got replaced by mine. But I honestly didn't want to ruin the original driver. Couldn't you just edit the driver on the existing repository? Was it really necessary to create a complete separate fork of BASSMIDI Driver? I think you'll soon realize that reading music is much more practical, even if you have a lot to learn.A reboot of the original BASSMIDI Driver by Kode54, with more features.į.A.Q. You can watch them with sound to hear how a piece sounds, then mute your computer to attempt it yourself. If you want to try it out, watch some YouTube videos and see what you get. Instead of getting confused with eleven lines in a clef (which only represents one key, so eight notes of every twelve), you're putting all 88 keys in one "clef". Synthesia is a novelty that is interesting to watch, but isn't a practical way to learn music. It gets a bit more difficult with notes far above or below the clefs, but practiced musicians can distinguish how many lines are above or below the clef without actually counting them. Keeping track of notes on a five-line clef is manageable, even when a musician is reading two clefs at once. As I understand it, it was impractical for musicians, so the middle line (Middle C) was removed, dividing the staff into the treble and bass clefs. Five out of eighty-eight, not so much.Ī music staff was originally difficult to read because there are too many lines (eleven).
Two or three buttons out of five, probably doable. In addition, piano requires playing multiple keys at the same time. As they "drop", it is not practical to match them with the keys. While you could use it to learn very, very simple songs (think five notes like the buttons on Guitar Hero), the piano has far too many keys to keep track of in the manner Synthesia visualizes the notes. Synthesia is definitely a cool way to visualize the music, but is not a learning tool. I've never used Synthesia, though I've looked at a good number of Synthesia pieces on YouTube.
