This document is intended to help get bristol running with a minimum of fuss

or effort. The first steps above, a through f, are the shortest possible path

but there are a lot more options and capabilities discussed below that may

change the way bristol operates.

1. About Bristol.

1.1 What is it?

Bristol Audio Synthesis is a synth emulation package for a diverse range of

vintage synthesisers, electric pianos and organs. The application consists of

a synthesiser backend and a GUI frontend called Brighton.

1.2 Who is it by?

Bristol is written by Nick Copeland with additional contributions by others.

2. Installation

2.1. System requirements

Bristol does not place a high requirement on the underlying system installation,

the DSP code is all packaged into the engine and the GUI was written for

bristol. There are a number of optional extra packages that bristol can use to

give a more complete set of binaries. Also refer to section 1.3 below.

libx11-dev Bristol GUI requires this package

libasound2-dev ALSA support requires this package

jackd Jack support requires this package

libjack-dev Jack support requires this package

The system will also need libm.so to be installed as well as the build utils

however this is a part of a normal distribution. The build utility requirements

is a little outside the scope of this document, it is assumed that make/gcc/as

are previously installed.

2.2. Unpack the archive.

To do this, use the command below, replacing x.y.z with the version number of

the downloaded source code.

tar -zxvf bristol-x.y.z.tar.gz

This will create a subdirectory called bristol-x.y.z

2.3. cd into the directory and do a 'configure'

cd bristol-x.y.z

./configure

Do bear in mind that if you have another version of Bristol installed, either

through your distribution's package manager or locally installed before, the

configure script will stop and refuse to continue. You can either use the

package manager to remove the version of Bristol installed or just ignore it

and add the --disable-version-check option to the end of configure on the

command-line.

At the end of the configure process there will be a short report on the driver

interfaces that have been auto-detected. Here is an extract of the output:

| Build with OSS support ......................... : true

| Build with ALSA support ........................ : true

| Build with JACK support ........................ : false

| Bristol needs jackd and libjack-dev to be installed for JACK support.

| Build with JACK MIDI support ................... : false

| Build with JACK Session support ................ : false

| Default audio drivers .......................... : alsa

| Default MIDI drivers ........................... : alsa

| X11 include file availability .................. : true

As is visible here it was not possible to find the relevant header files for

the jack audio interface drivers so support will not be included in the eventual

compilation. There is an indication provided as to which packages would be

required to enable that support. For audio drivers there is a minimum of ALSA

required (OSS is also possible) however if the X11 header files could not be

found then there will be no graphical support in the binaries - a command line

100

interface only. In this event there will also be a report on which packages

101

are required to provide that support.

102

103

2.4. Execute a 'make'.

104

105

To build Bristol type:

106

107

make

108

109

This process will produce all the usual verbose output. It will contain some

110

warnings about unused variables and some potential coding changes however it

111

should proceed to completion. If you get errors such as the following then you

112

will need to contact the author or raise a bug report.

113

114

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/X11R6/include -pthread -Wall -g -I./../include/slab -I./../include/bristol -I. -DBRISTOL_VOICECOUNT=32 -DBRISTOL_JACK_MULTI_CLOSE -D_BRISTOL_DRAIN -DBRISTOL_HAS_ALSA=1 -I/usr/include/alsa -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -O2 -g -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -MT bristol.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/bristol.Tpo -c -o bristol.o bristol.c

115

bristol.c:62: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘asdf’

116

make[2]: *** [bristol.o] Error 1

117

make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/bristol/bristol-0.60.7/bristol'

118

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

119

make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/bristol/bristol-0.60.7'

120

make: *** [all] Error 2

121

122

How to contact the author or log a bug are given in the last few lines of the

123

output from ./configure above.

124

125

It is fortunately unusual that such compilation errors will occur on any Linux

126

distribution, the above was forced to fail just for providing an example.

127

128

2.5. install the application typically requires root permissions

129

130

If you get no errors from the 'make' process then the application is ready to

131

be installed.

132

133

sudo make install

134

135

This step need to be run as root as, unless you have been very selective with

136

the ./configure options then parts of bristol will be written to parts of the

137

/usr filesystem which is typically read-only for user accounts. By default this

138

should install bristol and associated apps to /usr/local/ with data commponets

139

into /usr/local/share. To run the application you should now be able to use the

140

startBristol script however that does depend on /usr/local/bin being in your

141

path.

142

143

2.6. Run the application

144

145

If the binary is placed in a directory in your path then you can typically

146

start it directly:

147

148

startBristol -mini

149

150

If this is not in your path then try the following, this is the default location

151

for the binaries and may differ if you use alternative --prefix for configure.

152

153

/usr/local/bin/startBristol -mini

154

155

156

157

158

3. Some Useful options for starting bristol:

159

160

-voices

161

162

Sets the number of voices the synth starts with. The default for most of the

163

synths is to start with as many voices as their hardware counterparts have.

164

In the case of the mini moog, this would be 1 voice.

165

166

-mono

167

168

Starts the synth with 1 voice (-hnp -lnp can be used to select high/low note

169

priority respectively)

170

171

-hnp

172

173

Selects High Note Priority, any notes played higher than the currently held

174

note will sound and bounce back to the held when released. Notes lower will

175

be ignored by the engine. Vice versa with -lnp.

176

177

-register

178

179

Changes the jack and alsa names to the text after it, so it can make more

180

sense when connecting devices etc.

181

182

-ar

183

184

Ignores the emulator default aspect ratio. In tiling window managers, bristol

185

can fight with the tiling for so long that active sensing will close the

186

emulator. This option stops that behaviour.

187

188

Note: Active Sensing is a 'ping' between the GUI frontend and the synth backend,

189

to ensure that the synth engine hasn't crashed.

190

191

-debug [1-16]

192

193

Produces debug output to the terminal. 1 is very little debug. 16 is very

194

verbose debug.

195

196

Many more options, along with the full list of synths can be found by doing

197

'startBristol --help' or 'man bristol'.

198

199

200

201

4. ALSA Interface Configuration

202

203

To see the MIDI connections that can be built you need to look at aconnect

204

commmand:

205

206

aconnect -io

207

208

Here is a sammple of its output:

209

210

client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]

211

0 'Timer '

212

1 'Announce '

213

client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]

214

0 'Midi Through Port-0'

215

client 20: 'USB Oxygen 61' [type=kernel]

216

0 'USB Oxygen 61 MIDI 1'

217

client 24: 'USB Keystation 88es' [type=kernel]

218

0 'USB Keystation 88es MIDI 1'

219

client 129: 'bristol' [type=user]

220

0 'bristol input

221

222

Here we can see two MIDI controllers and the bristol engine. The following

223

command will link them together so that you can play bristol from your MIDI

224

master controller:

225

226

aconnect 20 129

227

aconnect 'USB Oxygen 61' bristol

228

229

It is possible to connect two master controllers to bristol and this is not

230

unusual for something like the B3. This emulator also has two manuals and can

231

accept multiple controllers on different MIDI channels to allow control of

232

both them.

233

234

If ALSA is the default interface (ie, you have not given any flags that imply

235

another interface type) then bristol will use ALSA for both audio and MIDI. The

236

default is the 'seq' MIDI interface. It is also possible to use a raw MIDI

237

interface with the option '-midi raw', the type really depends on your soundcard

238

and driver options.

239

240

241

242

5. Jack Interface Configuration

243

244

JACK is a low-latency sound server, similar to ASIO on windows. Any apps that

245

are 'jack-aware' are able send audio information to one another seamlessly.

246

Bristol is just one such application that supports JACK. More information can

247

be found at http://jackaudio.org/

248

249

Using the jack audio driver is as simple as appending '-jack' to the

250

startBristol command.

251

252

As of 0.60.7, the following can disable the 'bristoljackstats' app, which can

253

cause startBristol to fail:

254

255

startBristol -jack -jackstats -count <jack periodsize> -rate <jack samplerate>

256

257

The count and rate have to match the settings given to the jack daemon. In the

258

event of mismatch you will get an error condition from bristol with some level

259

of diagnostic output to indicate the cause.

260

261

Unless specifically told otherwise, bristol will use jack drivers for both

262

audio and midi.

263

264

5.1 Using qjackctl

265

266

Using qjackctl you can easily connect midi controlloers by clicking on either

267

the 'Midi' tab or 'Alsa' tab, depending on which midi driver you've selected to

268

use with bristol and then clicking the controller you want on the left pane and

269

the 'Bristol' input on the right and clicking 'connect'.

270

271

272

273

274

6. The Bristol runcom file

275

276

Bristol itself has a large range of parameters, each tuning the operation to

277

suit specific needs. Having to give so many parameters to get the synth to

278

work in a specific environment gives it flexibility but also makes it sometimes

279

difficult to use. To quote one person, "It can be an inspiration killer".

280

281

There are a few third party apps such as monoBristol that provide graphical

282

front ends to the commandline options to make starting bristol easier. Bristol

283

itself supports a runcom file where a user can specify common preferred params

284

that are then included with every invocation.

285

286

The bristol runcom file can be found, per default, in $HOME/.bristol/bristolrc

287

and its function depends on the bristol version.

288

289

6.1 Bristol prior to 0.60.8

290

291

The file needs to be created as it does not exist per default. When it exists

292

then the complete contents are prepended before the command line options. As

293

an example, consider the following contents:

294

295

-jack

296

-jackstats

297

-count 256

298

-rate 48000

299

300

301

302

-jack -jackstats -count 256 -rate 48000

303

304

Both of these will have the same affect as they are all summed together. If

305

bristol is started as 'startBristol -mini' then the actual commmandline will be

306

307

startBristol -jack -jackstats -count 256 -rate 48000 -mini

308

309

6.2 Bristol from 0.60.8

310

311

There were some limitations of the initial runcom implementation. A number of

312

parameters are implied by each emulator: voices, detune, pitchbend and others.

313

If the runcom includes a -pwd (pitch wheel depth) of 7 it might be lost when

314

the emulator is selected as the emulator will configure its own desired pitch

315

wheel sensitivity as most of the emulators will default this value to '2'. To

316

support such features the runcom was changed to support pre and post parameters.

317

Consider the following contents:

If bristol is now started with 'startBristol -mini' the final options taken by

323

the program will be

324

325

startBristol $PREARGS -mini $POSTARGS

326

327

This is all expanded out to give a complete command line that, if it was typed

328

in, would read as follows:

329

330

startBristol -jack -jackstats -count 128 -rate 48000 -as 0 -priority 65 -debug 1 -mini -multi 2 -lnp -pwd 7 -glide -rud -lnp -log -gain 2 -host unix:

331

332

Here there are some initial parameter settings, then the emulator is selected.

333

The emulator will default the pitch wheel depth to '2'. Then the post arguments

334

are added and they reset the pitchwheel depth to the value '7'.

335

336

This whole ugly line of parameters is now called with just

337

338

startBristol -mini

339

340

The goal of the runcom file is to reduce to a minimum the number of parameters

341

that need to be given on the command line whilst still maintaining a completely

342

customised local configuration.

343

344

Questions regarding parameter ordering should be sent to LAU mailing list, the

345

author, or raised on the bristol sourceforge forum.

7. Controlling the GUI from a MIDI master controller

351

352

It is possible to get the GUI to be controlled from faders on a master

353

controller. First connect up the MIDI as described above. Place the mouse

354

cursor over the GUI control you want to track and push the Middle Mouse Button.

355

Now move the MIDI control, the GUI should now track that control. Devices can

356

be unregistered using the same method. The settings will be saved when you

357

save a memory.

358

359

The settings themselves are in the directory listed below, and they can be

360

edited with a text editor.

361

362

/home/username/.bristol/memory/profiles/<synthname>

363

364

Most of the synths come with a standard GM midi mapping for controlling filter

365

cutoff/resonance, etc.

366

367

8. Keyboard accelerators

370

371

8.1 Keyboard Mappings.

372

373

Bristol supports GUI shortcuts and playing the synths via a QWERTY keyboard.

374

Playing bristol via the QWERTY on the B3 has C2 starting on '\' and going up

375

to F3 on '/' on the bottom manual, while the top manual goes from C4 on Q to

376

G5 on ']'. On a single keyboard synth, such as the polysix, C1 starts on '\'

377

and goes up F2 on '/' and C3 starts on Q and ends at G4 on ']'.

378

379

For alternative mappings such as AZERTY it is necessary to manually edit the

380

emulator profile files.

381

382

8.2 Keyboard Accelerators

383

384

Useful shortcuts are:

385

Ctrl +

386

Load next memory

387

Ctrl -

388

Load previous memory

389

Ctrl l

390

Load/reload current memory

391

Ctrl s

392

Save settings to current memory.

393

394

Arrow keys can control pot/slider movement with Shift being an accelerator.

395

The GUI devices also support VI style j/k up/down with Shift and Control

396

options.

9. Basics of Subtractive Synthesis.

401

402

Subtractive synths generally have 5 parts to them:

403

404

1. Oscillators

405

2. Filters

406

3. Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs)

407

4. ADSR Envelopes

408

5. Amplification output

409

410

Subtractive synthesis works by taking the waveforms generated by oscillators,

411

filtering them (or not) to remove specific frequencies, using a LFO to modulate

412

the sound, applying an ADSR Envelope to them and then sending the sound out the

413

synth.

414

415

9.1. Oscillators

416

417

Oscillators use basic waveforms (saw, square, triangle, sine) to produce sound.

418

On some synths, these can be combined to produce harmonically rich sounds (saw

419

and square for example).

420

421

The more oscillators a synth has, the greater number of waveforms that can be

422

layered together to create a quite 'phat' sound.

423

424

9.2. Filters

425

426

Filters are used to remove specific frequencies from the oscillators.

427

428

Filters generally come in 3 types in the bristol synths:

429

430

Low Pass Filter

431

High Pass

432

Band Reject

433

434

Low Pass filters remove high frequencies (i.e they pass low freqencies).

435

High Pass filters remove low freqencies

436

Band Reject filters remove both low and high filters in a specific range and

437

allow a certain 'mid-range' of frequencies through.

438

439

On all filters, there are 2 main controls:

440

Frequency Cutoff.

441

Frequency Resonance.

442

443

Frequency Cutoff allows you to control how much of the sound gets filtered.

444

Resonance amplifies the narrow band of frequencies that are close to the cutoff point.

445

446

9.3.Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs)

447

448

LFOs are exactly like normal oscillators (they have waveforms, like sine,

449

square and triangle), but they sound below what a human can hear. In this way,

450

they can modulate various parameters on the synths, without being heard. The

451

parameters that an LFO modulates is called the destination.

452

453

LFOs usually have 2 controls:

454

Rate

455

Delay

456

457

Rate determines how quickly the LFO oscillates at, low levels modulates the

458

destination slowly, while high levels will modulate quickly. Delay determines

459

how quickly the LFO should start modulating the destination.

460

461

Common modulation destinations are:

462

Audible Oscillator's frequency (Vibrato effect)

463

Filter Cutoff frequency (wah-wah effect)

464

Amplification output (tremolo effect)

465

466

On most of the bristol synths, the LFO 'depth' (how much the LFO affects the

467

destination) is controlled by the mod-wheel.

468

469

9.4. ADSR Envelopes.

470

471

ADSR envelopes shape the sound of the oscillators and filter (where available).

472

ADSR stands for the 4 parameters that can shape the sound:

473

474

Attack - How quickly the sound reaches full volume.

475

Decay - How quickly the sound falls down to the sustain level

476

Sustain - Volume of the sound while the key is held

477

Release - How quickly the sound fades to silence

478

479

9.5. Amplification output

480

There is usually a control here that controls the overall volume of the synth.

481

482

483

484

10. Basics of FM Synthesis.

485

486

FM Synthesis stands for Frequency Modulation synthesis.

487

488

This means that one oscillator (called a Modulator) modulates the frequency

489

of another oscillator (called a Carrier). In Bristol there are 3 FM emulators,

490

2 Rhodes Electric Pianos and a Yamaha DX 6 Operator synth.

491

492

FM synthesis works by feeding one signal from one oscillator (a modulator) into

493

another signal from another oscillator (a carrier). The interesting part is

494

when a modulator is audible, detuning the modulator will produce bell-like

495

tones in the output as the carrier's frequency is modulated by an audible

496

signal. It should be noted that all of the oscillators are sine waves so

497

stacking them together can produce some nice hammond-esque sounds.

498

499

The DX emulation has got 24 different "algorithms" for all 6 of it's operators.

500

These control which oscillators are modulators and which are carriers

501

(modulators can be fed into other modulators as well).

502

503

All operators have their own ADSR envelope, so sound shaping is possible in

504

a variety of ways. The ADSR is a 7-stage envelope. This means that it has 7

505

parts to it:

506

507

L1 - First audible stage

508

Attack1 - Rate at which the operator goes from silence to L1

509

L2 - Second audible stage

510

Attack2 - Rate at which the operator goes from L1 to L2

511

Decay - Rate at which L2 falls to the Sustain stage

512

Sustain - How loud the sound will be through steady state

513

Release - Rate at which the sound falls to silence

514

515

Input gain - How much the modulator affects the carrier for this specific

516

operator.

517

Output gain - How loud the operator is (when it's a carrier) and how much modulation is sent out (when it's a modulator).

518

519

Each operator has three buttons: LFO, IGC and OGC.

520

LFO drops the oscillator by a few octaves and removes pitch tracking.

521

IGC controls whether the input gain for that operator is affected by velocity.

522

OGC controls whether the output gain for that operator is affected by velocity.
