Sliding

Post by bwalker »

I'm sure this has been asked before, but nothing is showing up when I search the forum. I have used the very handy warbl configuration that was posted on this forum for tin whistle and it's great. But one thing that doesn't seem to work no matter what I do is the slide feature. I'm using FluidSynth MIDI on my android. Of course I have slide and vibrato selected on my configuration but it doesn't seem to do anything. Any suggestions?

Interesting—does the vibrato work with FluidSynth? Is there a place in the FluidSynth settings that allows you to set the pitchbend semitones? If so, that should be set to “2”.

Hi Andrew, I sent a reply but I don't see it. so, here goes again. I think FluidSynth is very limited. I looked in settings and all it has under Reverb is Damping, Width, Level. Then under chorus is has Nr, Level, Speed, Depth.

Okay, there may not be a pitchbend setting. Does vibrato work with FluidSynth, or does neither vibrato nor sliding work? Also, if it's possible to attach here or email me a screenshot of your settings in the Configuration Tool, we could rule out any possible issues there. Thanks!

Sliding works fine for me with the Android app, and the max pitchbend is 2 semitones.

Of course, if you want to change that max setting, all you should have to do is send the appropriate MIDI CC commands with RPNs for pitchbend sensitivity. I haven't tried it, but it should work. It's a MIDI standard.
