Hi Dave, I found the email I posted a while back that I think if implemented would address your concerns: http://www.nabble.com/Instrument-Meta-Information-tf3583671.html#a10013769 As for Mode6, I looked and sure enough it doesn't use p6. I don't know why, but I never used Mode6 in a composition as I switched to Reson6, so likely Mode6 wasn't completed. Most of the instrument I generally have all pfields dealt with at the top of the instr code. For my instruments, I have format: p4 - start pch or freq p5 - end pch or freq p6 - amp in db p7 - envelope (0 = ADSR, 1 = Triangle, 2 = Ramp up) p8 - space (-1 to 1, left to right) then after that, my instruments can have additional fields (and still work with my orch composition library which I use). So for the FOF instruments, p9 and p10 are start and end vowel, and I think it's 0-4 for possible values, 0 being a, 1 being e, 2 being i, 3 being o, and 4 being u. So that should hopefully get you started with those instruments! steven On 7/21/07, Dave Seidel <da...@su...> wrote: > Similarly, I would love to play with the fof_* voice instruments, but I > don't know how to use them.
