Is there some not overcomplicated way to test it in Oram? I’d love to test it, but a bit locked for the moment. Thx anyway if not. I expect to be able to return to Vangelis testing in a few weeks.
How and where does the jRhodes3d appear in the banks and presets. Is it simply called “Rhodes” in the Piano bank? It may be advantageous to show any available metadata in the info window when highlighting an instrument.
[EDIT] Doh! I had tried to install but an issue with the zynthian had resulted in that failing and I had forgotten. Installing the package presents in the piano bank as jRhode.

FX delay does not work to me
I suggest to add the package release date among the package data
Note this is, as far as I can tell from the script, not a delay effect but a parameter delaying the fade in of the tremolo and autopan effect.
I think the parameter label should be changed. Something like “Mod Fade-In Time” or so.

OK! I just modified the parameter names. I hope now they are more clear:
The 2 FX-Delay parameters:
- Start Time: Time until effect (tremolo + autopan) start. Before this, the sound is dry.
- Fade-in Time: Fade-in time. The time, from start, it takes to reach the consigned amplitude/depth.

Hi @hannesmenzel ,
Regarding the Leeds organ,
I took another look at the SFZ files, and mine are clearly different. I will send the keyswitch to you via PM; sending it via the forum is not allowed according to the license terms.
Apparently, I tackled them thoroughly 4 months ago, but unfortunately, I have forgotten how and why. Old age comes with its flaws…

Download this zip file: https://github.com/zynthian/jlearman.jRhodes3d/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip it to /zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sfz and you should be good to go. Might need to restart zynthian, but IIRC it’s not needed.

A couple of hours ago I upgraded my venerable V2 to 2606 Vangelis, and I was able to finally give a go to the new Packages mechanism. Very nice work @jofemodo .
I faced trouble with severe xruns with jRhodes3d, but I’m definitely going to give it a go in my V5. Your 73 must be set similarly to mine — I loved what I heard and felt. Unfortunately, I attempted to update Vangelis and now I have a non‑bootable Zyn…
So thanks a lot @jlearman . I’ll do what you suggested and will explore your sfz in my stable Oram V5.
Be sure to use the non-XF versions, and if still no joy, use the mono non-XF version. That uses fewer voices, so sfizz will use less CPU.
Better yet, try setting your buffer size to 256.
And, you’re welcome!

Thank you @jlearman
I completely understand your tips, but I’m clueless about how to configure those settings, so I must ask a bit more of your patience to guide me!
EDIT: nevermind, I figured it! Now I must go back to V2 and try again

I found an unlicensed/anonymous clavinet I like better than the Zynthian “Clavinet” sfz. I found it at musical-artifacts.com, explicitly having no information about licensability (unknown source.) It was messed up but I cleaned it up (reducing it from 500M to 60M and fixing a number of sfz flubs.)
https://github.com/jlearman/stevie-clavinet
To try it:
cd "/zynthian/zynthian-my-data/soundfonts/sfz"
`git clone https://github.com/jlearman/stevie-clavinet.git"
I’ll keep looking for one we can clarify licensing on. (I’ll also try other clavs on Zynthian, might be a better one already!)
Meanwhile, give it a try, and ready to package. See the README on github for more info on what I did.

Update: added releases samples from Zynthian sfz clavinet.
Please add the following package:
It’s a quality steel drum I borrowed from a friend. Highlights:
- Hand-made oil-drum steel drum.
- 24 notes sampled, C4 (middle C) to B5
- 5 velocity layers, with velocity crossfades
- 3 or 4 samples per zone (that is, per note per layer)
- Stereo 16 bit, 44.1 KHz samples
- Unlooped
- 44 MB, in FLAC format
The velocity crossfades work particularly well, and given how steel drum is played, shouldn’t be a voice limit issue on Zynthian. When sampling, I noticed that there were three fundamentally different tones that emerged with velocity. The lowest level was mostly fundamental. Increasing force, a strong harmonic emerged. Increasing further still, the blaring crash came out. So, when sampling, rather than focusing on the force, I tried to get each component as it emerged. The result is, when playing without crossfades, the different velocity layers really jump out. But the crossfades work remarkably smoothly, so each component emerges with velocity much as it did when striking the actual instrument.
All comments welcome!

Really looking forward to try it! By the way, since we have the mechanisms and the storage, I could upload my huge harmonium soon.
Do you think we could keep up the documentation of the factory library? I’d like to join in again and see what’s in there already.
I updated what I’ve worked on and added a few questions (feel free to discuss here.)
One other I’m planning to put together is a soul brass patch, which a live keyboard player would use, in a band without a brass section. Trombone, sax, trumpet.
Really? I ask because Zynthian defaults to 48KHz.
Hi @jlearman !
What happened to the clavinet SFZ? Has vanished ?
Hi @jlearman !
Packages can be contributed as PR to the zynthian-packages repository:
The Readme documents the package format and other details.
Management scripts should be tested before send the PR.
All the best,
I sampled this years ago, before I ever heard of Zynthian. Sfizz has no trouble with this, in fact it resamples ever note that’s not for the pitch center note anyway.
I don’t understand the question.
Zynthian has a built-in clavinet sfz, that has release samples. I used those samples to add release samples to the “Stevie Clavinet” soundfont.

Excellent! Thanks.
