Make some (basic) noise


Finally, I got some sounds done.

I initally wanted to have many sound options to chose from... but that would mean: finding the right assets (oreferably open source or creative commons), tuning them in the right way, making the selection menu and the file management in the right way... WAY TOO MUCH overhead for such a simple thing!

I even bought Bosca Ceoil Blue to do some stuff there, Which was fine in the beginning... until I found out that the strings section either is "broken" or references the wrong instruments... and I wanted to have a violin!
Therefore, I ended up using just the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra SFZ & samples collection from GitHub. I couldn't make it work with LMMS & Sfizz (first time I used THAT... not my artistic field of experience, so I dropped it again...) and decided to just pick some base tones from the samples files.

I ended up using:

  • a flute in e4 for blue
  • a piano in c4 for red
  • a violin in a3 for yellow
  • and a drum (actually from Bosca) in e3 for green - but it sounds a bit off compared to the others
  • (using a percussion sample [only xylophone was available as e3] from the collection feels even more off... idk)

I wanted to have each tone to be from a different family of instruments (winds, piano, strings, percussions), that way they'd be very distinct, not just by note, but also by tune when played blindly (yes. that WILL be possible).
