Greetings, everyone. I am doing some work "in fits and starts" on the
Yoshimi wiki, here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/yoshimi/wiki/Home/
The new page is the Overview:
https://sourceforge.net/p/yoshimi/wiki/an%20Overview
I am also working on an old-school "Links" page. If you have web-facing
recordings with some or all content generated using Yoshimi, please
shoot me some URLs; if you have any web sites discussing Yoshimi I'll
very much want those as well; and if there is a third category you can
think of, please do let me know.
What's the bar for inclusion? My latest two songs
<
http://www.amlie.name/music/music-downloads/> use it, but I wouldn't
say they are Yoshimi heavy. It's all mixed in with other instruments and
vocals. Some of the stuff Will has been working on is probably better
for demonstration purposes.
I am interested in building a page to be called something like
"Innovations", which could contain some developer-thoughts of areas in
which Yoshimi shines brightest. I am definitely not the one to generate
or update the list of items, but I'd be very happy to format it for
friendly reading.
One particular true innovation of Yoshimi (well, ZynAddSubFX, but I
assume we count them together) is the PadSynth
<
http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/doc/PADsynth/PADsynth.htm>. Invented
by Nasca Octavian Paul himself, this is a type of algorithm I have not
seen anywhere else. And it has even been incorporated in commercial
programs <
http://www.renoise.com/tools/padsynth> since (ok, it's an
extension, but still).
There are other pages in thought, including one called "Approaches to
Setup". Suggestions on this and all pages are definitely encouraged,
but I am not promising anything in particular except the above :-)
I'm bordering dangerously close to self promotion now, but I will
mention it anyway since I personally find it /very/ useful: An
alternative to running Yoshimi standalone is to use Jack2DSSI
<
http://jack2dssi.sourceforge.net/> to turn it into a plugin. It's not
quite as smooth as a real dedicated plugin, but it's still pretty
useful, and you avoid all the hassle with custom scripts to launch
Yoshimi instances and connect them together and so on. Certainly not for
everyone, but like I said, it's an alternative.
