In order to create the final soundtrack, you need the following packages
|
||
|
|
installed:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- csound
|
||
|
|
- abcmidi
|
||
|
|
- fluid-soundfont-gm
|
||
|
|
- vorbis-tools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The .abc files contain the music scores in ABC notation. These are converted to
|
||
|
|
MIDI format with abc2midi. For each .abc file there is a .csd file which sets
|
||
|
|
up the instruments so csound can render the MIDI file. At the moment we are
|
||
|
|
using only the fluid opcodes. These render notes using a General Midi
|
||
|
|
soundfont. After csound has rendered everything to a .wav file, oggenc is used
|
||
|
|
to create the final .ogg file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the abcm2ps package is installed, you can create sheet music from the .abc files.
|
||
|
|
This can be helpful to spot mistakes.

TODO:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Use ABC part notation to simulate module tracker patterns.
|
||
|
|
- Use csound to add effects that cannot be represented by ABC (for example, filter sweeps).
