Brisbot Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 it's a good idea sure, but there are a number of plugins nowadays where you can input a waveform's harmonics using your mouse or draw waveforms and such.

Guest paulnorthyorks Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hi, I am the creator of KangaSound/Kangas Sound Editor, and I have read your comments with interest. I have a few comments of my own. Firstly, the videos aren't the only way to learn how to use Kangas Sound Editor: there are online tutorial pages at: http://www.kangasound.com/tutorial/tutorial.html The online tutorial pages are also more up to date than the videos. For example, there is now an internal audio player called WavePlayer that comes bundled with the software, and I probably would have used that if it had been there at the time the video tutorial was made (having said that, I do find the Real Player sheep visualisation quite amusing ) Secondly, I don't dispute that there are many other ways of creating sounds and music from scratch, as one of the posters here mentioned when talking about plugins that can create harmonics directly using the mouse. Also, I'm quite sure Kangas Sound Editor isn't "modular", as another poster mentioned. However, I think Kangasound/Kangas Sound Editor is an alternative solution for synthesizing music and sound-effects from scratch, especially if you're interested in Just Intonation (the software uses frequency ratios for pitch control). Thirdly, I think you guys have realised there is room for improvement in both the Kangas Sound Editor software and the supporting KangaSound website. I actually agree, and have created a crowdfunding project (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/524560875/kangasound-music-and-sound-effect-synthesis-track) that would deliver improvements in both. Of course, I may well not get the funds, in which case I'll probably have to put the whole thing on the back-burner for the time being.

Guest paulnorthyorks Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi, There is now a "Kangasound Jukebox Challenge" on my Kickstarter project. As part of that, I am reconstructing a well-known song that someone has suggested, using Kangas Sound Editor to do so. So far, no-one has managed to identify the original song. I was wondering whether any of you guys would be able to? Here is the link to my latest version of the song: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/524560875/kangasound-music-and-sound-effect-synthesis-track/posts/1156407 Paul Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86789-kanga-sound-editor/#findComment-2300854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest paulnorthyorks Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) On 3/9/2015 at 1:54 PM, modey said: I was gonna say A Town Called Malice on OPL3 :D Correct! It is A Town Called Malice. In case anyone reading this forum gets the wrong idea though, I synthesized it from scratch using Kangas Sound Editor, it isn't output from OLP3 or SoundBlaster 1.0 As you have correctly identified the song, would you like to make a suggestion (by private message to me) for the next song or piece of music for me to construct using Kangas Sound Editor? If I can, I will start working on it until someone guesses what it is or I run out of time (my Kickstarter project https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/524560875/kangasound-music-and-sound-effect-synthesis-track ends in 12 days time). I'm guessing the references to OLP3 and SoundBlaster 1.0 were meant to imply that what I have created isn't very sophisticated. While this may be the case, the point of my Kickstarter campaign is to create something considerably better than what is there at the moment - if Kangas Sound Editor were already an established piece of music-creation software there probably wouldn't be any need for a Kickstarter campaign.
