bristol: a synthesiser emulation package.
5
You should start this package with the startBristol script. This script
6
will start up the bristol synthesiser binaries, evaluating the correct
7
library paths and executable paths. There are emulation, synthesiser and
8
operational parameters:
13
-explorer - moog voyager
14
-hammond - hammond module
15
-b3 - dual manual hammond B3
16
-pro5|-prophet - sequential circuits prophet-5
17
-pro10 - sequential circuits prophet-10
20
-vox - vox continental
21
-rhodes - fender rhodes stage 73
22
-mixer - 16 track mixer (-libtest only)
26
-voices <n> - operate with a total of 'n' voices, default 16
27
-channel <c> - initial midi channel selected to 'c', default 1
32
-engine - don't start engine (connect to current invocation)
33
-port <p> - connect to engine on TCP port 'p' (default 5028)
34
-libtest - just display a GUI
35
-quiet - redirect output to /dev/null
36
-oss - use OSS defaults for audio and MIDI (default)
37
-alsa - use ALSA defaults for audio and MIDI
40
-audio [oss|alsa] - audio driver selection
41
-audiodev <dev> - audio device selection
42
-bufsize <bytes> - buffer size, default 1024 bytes (256 samples)
43
-preload <buffers> - configure preload buffer count (default 4)
44
-rate <hz> - sample rate
47
-midi [oss|alsa] - midi driver selection
48
-mididev <dev> - midi device selection
49
-seq - use the ALSA SEQ interface
51
Audio drivers are PCM or PCM plug only. Future releases may add Jack
52
support. Midi drivers are either OSS/ALSA rawmidi interface, or ALSA SEQ.
53
Multple GUIs can connect to the single audio engine, which then operates
60
Run a minimoog using OSS interface for audio and midi. This is
61
equivalent to all the following options:
62
-mini -audio oss -audiodev /dev/audio -midi oss -mididev /dev/midi
63
-bufsize 1024 -preload 4 -port 5028 -voices 16 -channel 1 -rate 44100
67
Run a minimoog using ALSA interface for audio and midi. This is
68
equivalent to all the following options:
69
-mini -audio alsa -audiodev plughw:0,0 -midi alsa -mididev hw:0
70
-bufsize 1024 -preload 4 -port 5028 -voices 16 -channel 1 -rate 44100
72
startBristol -explorer -voices 1
74
Run a moog explorer as a monophonic instrument, using OSS interface for
77
startBristol -prophet -alsa -channel 3
79
Run a prophet-5 using ALSA for audio and midi (on channel 3).
81
startBristol -b3 -bufsize 2048 -preload 2
83
Run a hammond b3 with a buffer size of 2048 bytes (512 samples), and
84
preload two such buffers before going active. Some Live! cards need
85
this larger buffer size with ALSA drivers.
87
startBristol -oss -audiodev /dev/dsp1 -vox -voices 8
89
Run a vox continental using OSS device 1, and default midi device
90
/dev/midi0. Operate with just 8 voices.
92
startBristol -b3 -audio alsa -audiodev plughw:0,0 -seq -mididev 128.0
94
Run a B3 emulation over the ALSA PCM plug interface, using the ALSA
95
sequencer over client 128, port 0.
98
startBristol -prophet -channel 2 -engine
100
Start two synthesisers, a juno and a prophet. Both synthesisers will
101
will be executed on one engine (multitimbral) with 16 voices between
102
them. The juno will be on default midi channel (1), and the prophet on
103
channel 2. Output over the same default OSS audio device (/dev/audio).
106
startBristol -prophet -port 5029 -audiodev /dev/dsp1 -mididev /dev/midi1
108
Start two synthesisers, a juno on the first OSS soundcard, and a
109
prophet on the second OSS soundcard. Each synth is totally independant
110
and runs with 16 voice polyphony (looks nice, but not been tested).
