![]() So next, I imgained how a real orchestra would actually play a half minute note. At first I thought of editing the SFZ samples, but that seemed overkill for a single note. The first note of the first violins is 9 bars long (31 seconds at 70 BPM!). The text is maintained for historical purposes and as it may still be helpful for other libraries that do not have looping in them or, for another application, to hide the distinct repetitive sound of looped samples.Īnother shortcoming of SSO is its lack of looped samples for some instruments, which has forced me come up with a tricky work around. SSO strings loop nicely with Plogue sforzando. My mistake was to directly load the sfz file to Synthfont (an older version back then) instead of using an sfz playing VST. Update: As it turns out, this manual looping workaround was unnecessary ans I should apologize for the misinformation. I wonder whether using a VST SFZ player, instead of Syntfont’s native sfz support, might give better results, but I have not really explored this option. I try to remedy this by increasing the note velocities or decreasing the note velocities of the background instruments. ![]() The slow attacks also made it less favorable for fast short notes, making them sound mushy, and making the melody less defined. I work around this by shortening the note until the odd sounding part is no longer audible. Sometimes the release does not sound well, giving an unnatural sound at the end of the note (i.e. Using SSO by itself has also revealed some of its shortcomings. I’ve always used multiple orchestra samples and layer the different results in Audacity. Sonatina Symphonic Orchestraįor this song, I decided to do a proper demo of SSO. I’ve been itching to get Reaper for a long time already, but so far, my projects are not too complex, so this setup is still fine. (I hope to share something public domain next time). It is not that difficult, there are parts in the piano that need “voices”, but the whole piece is mostly strings (for me., that’s actually easier and more fun than emailing the youtube user). But basically, I transcribed the video using MuseScore. Unfortunately it is not a public domain score, so I won’t be able to share it that easily. The score was based on this transcription by ThePochaccos and all thanks to him/her for doing a great job. It’s composed by Yoko Kanno and Hajime Mizoguchi and (probably) performed by Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. It’s one of the reasons I got hooked into orchestra music (as opposed to the serious and profound classics that is less accessible to my less mature mind back then). For a cartoon, it has a soundtrack that goes beyond what you would normally expect. I’ve seen this anime more than a decade ago, made cassette copies of my sister’s CD, and listened to it regularly back in highschool. The song is part of the Vision of Escalowne‘s original soundtrack (third CD album). Album art from the Escaflowne Original Soundtrack 3 from which the original music can be found. ![]()
