Re: [Pharo-project] About fluidSynth
Dear Stéphane Ducasse san, and Pharo guys all. thank you for interesting "FluidSynth goes to Pharo 2.0." work in progress. it is still unfinished... orz "description begin" 'FluidSynth goes to Pharo 2.0.' packages are plugin for FluidSynth and GUI and others. FluidSynth is a real-time software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications. http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fluidsynth/ 'FluidSynth goes to Pharo 2.0.' packages will be a sub-package of the Khoros package handling audio and midi. requires other MIDI packages (events, files, objects, playing process, etc) *1. *1: FluidSynth has own midi file player. but this packages don't use it. "description end" digressing: first, Squeak has a useful SimpleMIDIPort, but we can't use any software synthesizer with/through it.ãThere is no CoreMIDI. so i made a PortMidiPlugin(++) for Squeak (OSX). after it, "There's Something About Pharo 2.0". thereafter i wanted a handy midiport without any external software synthesizer, and found FluidSynth. i only wanted handy and 'simple' midiport for playback or testing, but FluidSynth profound. for example, it supports microtonal. we can use just intonation, meantone temperament, or other alternative tunings... ... this package became huge across expectation. 46 classes (4 traits) have instance methods 832, class method 327 (selectors counting). but the simplest use requires one FluidSynthInterface class only. of course fluidsynth library and FluidSynthPlugin must be placed for VM. widgets: well, there is no special widgets. VolumeKnobMorph is a subclass of PluggableSliderMorph simply. morph of VU meter is a subclass of AlignmentMorph with custom drawOn:, drived by a model descendant of ComposableModel. after all or as an interim report, it may be that i'll commit to public code-repository, such as umezawa san's SqueakSourceJ (http://squeaksource.blueplane.jp/), ss3, sh, or so. PortMidiPlugin and FluidSynthPlugin have no platform sources. (PortMidiPlugin++ is for OSX only) -p.s.- will Pharo 2.0 official come with new clean changes?

Dear Nishihara Satoshi
I saw a tweet on fluidsynth and it that it is running on Pharo. It looks really nice. We would like to have a a news on it on the pharo web site.
Could you provide a little text?
BTW if you are creating widget that you think that missing in Pharo you can offer them to Pharo under MIT and we will maintain them and enhance them when we are building the new UI builder. Stef

Hi guys
I aw a tweet on fluidSynth on Pharo2.0 and I **want** a news for the Pharo web site. So what is FluidSynth :) I want more than http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fluidsynth/ :) Stef

keep us posted! This sounds like an exciting project.

If you need help for having a build server, we will have a new jenkins server :)
i only wanted handy and 'simple' midiport for playback or testing, but FluidSynth profound. for example, it supports microtonal. we can use just intonation, meantone temperament, or other alternative tunings...

widgets: well, there is no special widgets. VolumeKnobMorph is a subclass of PluggableSliderMorph simply. morph of VU meter is a subclass of AlignmentMorph with custom drawOn:, drived by a model descendant of ComposableModel.
Still if you want to propose some simple subclasses to improve the ones in Pharo feel free.
after all or as an interim report, it may be that i'll commit to public code-repository, such as umezawa san's SqueakSourceJ (http://squeaksource.blueplane.jp/), ss3, sh, or so.
Ok just pay attention that GPL is not a smalltalk friendly license.
PortMidiPlugin and FluidSynthPlugin have no platform sources. (PortMidiPlugin++ is for OSX only)
-p.s.-
will Pharo 2.0 official come with new clean changes? Pharo-20468.image: 29.1 MB Pharo-20468.changes: 31.1 MB
We added a lot like new AST/Refactoring engine, metacello, so 2.0 will be probably a bit bigger than what we would like. What we need is - to manage pharo fully with metacello - get hazelnuts as the core Plus - a fast deployment and loading mechanism (Tanker/fuel) and we could really get a small kernel but with all the packages around in good shape. Right now we have problems to maintain all the packages that we want and keep them outside the image. Stef
