Re: [Taalpulse-user] Expanding the options

[Tony C. <ant...@wa...>]

Yup, Guillaume, I was going to ask if you wanted aiff format for the final 
versions - I'm pretty sure there's something on this machine that will do 
that.  As for looping, I haven't added any. Most of the samples are over 2 
seconds long, and that should be enough for most things.  I'll have a go 
(except with the sitar, for obvious reasons) if you like.

I'll keep working on the sarangi - I think I basically need a good open C on 
the main playing string, but it is a horribly temperamental thing.  The 
quality of the G string is so different that if the lehra goes below open C, 
the result is disturbing rather than helpful, and I'd prefer not to talk 
about the noise the bottom C string normally makes.  I'll also try it over a 
drone.  I'm not sure I'll be setting up the recording kit again before the 
end of next week, though.

I noticed that you've got a full arpeggio CEGC for your samples - is this 
necessary, or will your programme adapt to fewer (or different) notes?  For 
example the flutes are DF#AD, and the sheng AEC#A, and as I've said, getting 
four good samples out of the sarangi in one sitting is not proving easy!

Yours,

Tony
