Sintetitzador vintage: Bristol

descarrego bristol-0.60.8.tar.gz, i l'instal.lo de la manera habitual:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ startBristol -mini

Si arrenco sense cap opció em dóna un error, però el problema és que he d'arrencar correctament:

$ startBristol
brighton: error while loading shared libraries: libB11.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

però no hi ha cap error, és que s'ha de llegir bé. (important llegir el document HOWTO i la documentació). Per arrencar el Bristol tinc diferents opcions:

$ startBristol -mini
$ /usr/local/bin/startBristol -mini
$ startBristol -hammond -jack (és tipus Hammond, i és client JACK, però el driver midi és el JACK: apareix a la pestanya jack)
$ startBristol -hammond -jack -midi seq (és client JACK, però ara apareix la part midi a la pestanya ALSA)

5.1 Using qjackctl

Using qjackctl you can easily connect midi controlloers by clicking on either
the 'Midi' tab or 'Alsa' tab, depending on which midi driver you've selected to
use with bristol and then clicking the controller you want on the left pane and
the 'Bristol' input on the right and clicking 'connect'.

The bristol runcom file can be found, per default, in $HOME/.bristol/bristolrc
The goal of the runcom file is to reduce to a minimum the number of parameters
that need to be given on the command line whilst still maintaining a completely
customised local configuration.

En el document HOWTO hi ha un mini resum de teoria de síntesi:

9. Basics of Subtractive Synthesis.

Subtractive synths generally have 5 parts to them:

	1. Oscillators
	2. Filters
	3. Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs)
	4. ADSR Envelopes
	5. Amplification output

Subtractive synthesis works by taking the waveforms generated by oscillators,
filtering them (or not) to remove specific frequencies, using a LFO to modulate
the sound, applying an ADSR Envelope to them and then sending the sound out the
synth.
