Multiple sounds for "soundfonts" #1

Closed milkey-mouse closed 8 years ago

milkey-mouse commented 8 years ago

I think .memefont is a good file extension

Basically for each MIDI instrument, have a section in a .ini file (not necessarily with any specific extension).

Sample section contents

[default]
file=doot.wav
volume=90 #out of 100 instead of the 127 native to MIDI
#vol is an alias for volume
pan=0.5 #0.5 default, 1 is all the way to the right, 0 is to the left

Section naming/numbering

[001], [01], [1], and [acoustic-grand-piano] are all accepted ways of saying MIDI instrument #1. To cover a group of instruments, use the Wikipedia section name, e.g. [piano] is MIDI instruments 1-8.

Options

For each command-line option (which I should really organize better, BTW) you can set them in the ini file too, in a section marked [options]:

[options]
fullclip=true
transpose=12
output=dootalovania.wav

After further consideration it should just be .meme

Nah it should be .swood but it should be flexible about different ext's

Remember to implement channels (as ch1 or channel1 or channel 1 1-indexed) but other than that I'm done

milkey-mouse commented 8 years ago

I was thinking of tracks, not channels: t1 track1 track 1`

Done! It's a bit slower for simple requests as it has to generate a compatible default SoundFont (not to mention the extra lookups in tight loops, mainly in render.py), but I think that's acceptable. Once PyPy gets Py3.5/3.4 support I'll ensure the installer (issue #19) works with PyPy by default.
