Free string synthesizer sample plugin (Strykebrett)

Strykebrett is a free sample library for Decent Sampler featuring the Hohner / Logan String Melody II with some added features. All the sounds in the video are from a single instance of the plugin with no additional plugins or effects added.

User Interface: The user interface offers precise control over every aspect of the instrument and effects. Explore parameters to refine your sound, including control over the six drawbars, envelope, amplitude modulation with LFOs, highpass and lowpass filters, velocity/dynamics, oscillator drifting, and the immersive effects of ensemble, phaser, echo and reverb. 

Mixer (Bass / Treble): Unleash the power of the six drawbars to shape your tone with precision. Each drawbar controls the amplitude of a specific octave or sound, offering you unparalleled control over the instrument's harmonic richness. 

ADSR Envelope: Shape your sound precisely with the Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release parameters. Whether you desire a punchy, staccato tone or a smooth, lingering ambiance, the ADSR envelope allows you to tailor the dynamics to your liking. 

Low-frequency Oscillator (LFO): The Rate and Depth knobs enable you to modulate the amplitude of four of the drawbars with the desired depth and rate. The LFOs for the treble section has a sine waveform for smooth transitions. The LFO for the bass section has a sawtooth waveform for a rhythmic effect. 

Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF): Strykebrett has a highpass filter and a lowpass filter. The highpass filter ranges from 20 Hz to 2000 Hz and the lowpass filter ranges from 200 Hz to 8000 Hz. 

Oscillators:

Dyn: Turns on or off the velocity controlled amplitude

Drift: When enabled, each sample will have a slight pitch drift. The pitch drift for each sample is unique and independent. It's less pitch drift in the bass samples than the treble samples. 

Ensemble:

O: 3 stereo choruses with different speed and depth

Acc: Turns the ensemble off

Solo: Fast stereo vibrato

Organ: A slow stereo chorus 

Effects: The phaser is the built-in phaser from Decent Sampler. The echo and reverb effects are achieved using carefully crafted impulse responses. The echo effect employs a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo recorded twice for stereo, while the reverb effect draws from a Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978 reverb pedal with a room setting. 

Echo: Select from two distinctive echo options: the short echo, delivering a classic slapback effect, and the long echo, characterized by a slower decay and numerous repeats. 

Reverb: You'll also find two reverb effects: the short reverb, evoking the intimacy of a small room, and the long reverb, enveloping your sound in the vastness of a spacious environment.

Yuu apparently is great at the bugle. Manifesting Musically talented Yuu. Both great with a flute and a bugle.

So interestingly, it can go either way: if you click the option where Yuu essentially says, "Oh I'm not confident..." they won't sound good. But if you click that they're good at music, then Yuu will play the bugle well.

It's intriguing that the few times we see Yuu's talents is when it's with music OwO so the flute and bugle, notably they're instruments involving the mouth. Some people have pointed out the connection between Yuu's musical talent and the twistunes, which makes me go 👁👄👁 damn it would have been cool if all twistunes involved a woodwind/brass instrument. Maybe we might see other instruments that Yuu may or may not be good at in the future though. 👀

you know what probably sucks in vorinism? playing a stringed instrument.

Vorinism in general sounds terrible BUT I could see guitar going okay since you could use your right for the chords and then your sleeved hand to hold the pick. Same with violin/cello etc, I think holding the bow in a sleeve should be fine.

I'd like to imagine that lighteyed women who are too whatever for gloves have special sleeves designed to stay out of the way of the strings.

Piano though. No way could you get away with anything other than a thin glove. It's an honorary stringed instrument I guess

Don't forget it: GCSE free composition

This is for my free composition for my music GCSE. I was planning on adding more lyrics and other stuff but I couldn't for the life of me get the singing to sound good or the background music with it so I just deleted all that, left the bits I actually liked and here we are. I have to write some kind of essay to go with this and for the lyrics I'll say something like "the lyrics are intentionally vague so that the mood of the piece can be interpreted in many different ways" when in reality it's a song about me complaining about how Sparx Maths was mandatory homework every week (it's not any more, but I wrote the lyrics about a month ago).

Lyrics:

oh no but it's alright,

when you've never got to be the one who does it all night,

and you always got to do it no matter what you're saying;

keep on going back to play it.

oh but no this isn't fair,

it doesn't seem to mark it right,

and it's always got to be the one that nags you everywhere:

don't forget it, don't forget it.

The lyrics I scrapped (in a higher pitch):

oh but it never goes away,

the weekends metiforically

just a countdown to the day.

even though you hate it

with all your heart

it's only mandatory

so go take part.

Ignore the things

and follow the strings,

it never sings

nor does it have wings.

No, looking through a window pane

can make you go insane.

Keep going, don't revise,

keep on keep on keep on

A remixed version of the start screen music with drums and stuff

also has the leitmotif from the roboska songs and there is a canonical reason for that...apart from me recycling

I came up with this melody while being bored in a music composition lesson. It's also start screen music but at a specific point of the game which deserves a cooler version. It's not going to fade out like that in the actual game, that's just for the non-game version to sound less abrupt and still have the looping bit.

The problem here isn’t that large language models hallucinate, lie, or misrepresent the world in some way. It’s that they are not designed to represent the world at all; instead, they are designed to convey convincing lines of text. So when they are provided with a database of some sort, they use this, in one way or another, to make their responses more convincing. But they are not in any real way attempting to convey or transmit the information in the database. As Chirag Shah and Emily Bender put it: “Nothing in the design of language models (whose training task is to predict words given context) is actually designed to handle arithmetic, temporal reasoning, etc. To the extent that they sometimes get the right answer to such questions is only because they happened to synthesize relevant strings out of what was in their training data. No reasoning is involved […] Similarly, language models are prone to making stuff up […] because they are not designed to express some underlying set of information in natural language; they are only manipulating the form of language” (Shah & Bender, 2022). These models aren’t designed to transmit information, so we shouldn’t be too surprised when their assertions turn out to be false.

Been working on this track a while, just a little touch up on the low end needed and I’ll release this. Made a visualiser.
