This is the whole dilemma with software licensing and why the GNU licensing is as it is. In other word, this is still a gray area and without explicit licensing becomes hard to unravel. Is a soundfont a new work with its own copyright or is it a format shift from wav to sf? I don't know what US law says but in OZ the copyright stays with the original, not with the format shifted work. The other question around format shifting arises. In this particular case, what Joe et al have withdrawn is the work that they did assembling the original samples into soundfont/gig formats. For example, if the original samples were considered to be freely available, should any work derived from them remain freely available. The bigger question here of course is the one surrounding what constitutes derivative vs original work. I believe that they certainly would not be in competition with the later developments. I would have like to have seen that the soundfonts based on samples by others (that were given freely) were left available as a legacy of those early achievements. We did no further negotiation because I dropped the project as too large a download. It was these files that he would give permission to redistribute but only in the bundled form. Joe already knew that I had purchased a copy of the original Gigastudio HVO. I would grant permission to redistribute the HVO samples for use in such a Linux bundle only. Connect it all up with ethernet and send MIDI over UDP from Miditzer at the console. Add dedicated offset rank generators with subwoofers. Mic the whole setup and use convolution reverb through surround channels to create the ambience. Add dedicated offset chest generators with subwoofers.ĭivide into two "chambers" and let them mix in the AIR. If I were to dream into a system, I would have PuppyPi linux running on the RaspberryPi ($25) with a HW-like sound engine (in-RAM samples) running one (or perhaps two dissimilar) stereo rank(s) with a T-Class amp($25) and a good set of small speakers PER RANK. If I wanted the best of all worlds (as things are at the moment), I would have a purpose designed HW back end run by a Miditzer front end. from Gibson Brands on 2/23/18, BandLab Technologies today announced the relaunch of SONAR as Cakewalk by BandLab - available free-to-download to all BandLab users worldwide. While HW has superior sound and jOrgan let's you play with design, neither gives you the "at the console" experience that is so valuable with Miditzer. Following the acquisition of certain assets and the complete set of intellectual property of Cakewalk Inc. They all have their strengths and weaknesses in different areas and we are all richer for the diversity. It's one of those situations where I would have to ask "What do you want to do?" before being able to say which is best. It is an interesting discussion that can be had about HW vs Miditzer vs jOrgan.
