Discord finally confirmed for real when they're rolling out age verification service-wide (tomorrow) and I've not seen a single person make a peep about it

I've seen people, predictably, misunderstand your point about the Nazi bar When it comes to art spaces, I see no issue with erring on the side of caution and strictly moderating who gets to promote or participate in the community All too often being "AI tolerant" becomes "AI friendly" then "AI only"

Hi @U2 big fan. I notice that your guitarist uses a lot of unresolved sus2 and sus4 chords that build tension but never release it by going to the tonic. Is that why he's called the Edge. Please respond.

🤓☝️ In GM Level 2 there are standardized SysEx commands to change Reverb Type and Reverb Time (see section 4.4 Reverb Parameters) But also, totally understandable to not even want to touch SysEx for something like this lol

That would be ideal, yeah. Take a look at the GM2 spec maybe.

Hahahahahaaaa (CLAP is an option but it has limited support. It does full MIDI though!) Nah your external program idea is probably much easier. But you'd still have to build a reasonable emulation of your playback system, and the SPU channels if you're using them. That kinda sounds fun, though, huh

DaforLynx VGM @dafor.link · 09/09/2026
You are talking about making something like a sampler plugin that can export to the game format That sounds very hard
100
DaforLynx VGM @dafor.link · 09/09/2026
only thing is it's a hassle to set up the soundfont in the first place, even with something as convenient as Polyphone
010
DaforLynx VGM @dafor.link · 09/09/2026
Yeah, that is the idea. Don't want to duplicate samples on disk if you can help it, so using sf2 banks works since that basically only references the samples When a song is loaded, you read from a manifest of song->bank and figure out which samples are needed for the instruments (preprocessed prob)
200
DaforLynx VGM @dafor.link · 09/09/2026
Assign each track to a bank number, and only load the samples needed for that bank. If you need certain samples to be quickly accessible for something like jingles, dictate a bank that is always loaded (like bank 0).
101
DaforLynx VGM @dafor.link · 09/09/2026
Not a fan of SFZ for this purpose. Lack of support for program switching. Something I've been brainstorming is using SF2 banks to reference instruments and samples. Use something like SFLT (though that has a bug in regards to bank switching, requiring code changes) to provide faithful playback

Possibly older builds of VGMTrans. Not sure how accurate the current version would be.

Huh...how is that possible? Even hardware accurate emulations of synths can run in realtime. I guess you're using some sort of CPU simulator instead of something lighter?

Yessssss envelope shape controls. Something that far too few synths have - though, in fairness, envelope shape is part of what gives a synth its character, in my opinion. In any case, I don't think purely linear envelopes sound that great.

Right, the SNES also had the benefit of BRR compression. Maybe you can figure out a similar scheme.

DaforLynx VGM @dafor.link · 09/08/2026
Could be similar to the phenomenon in gamedev where the dev uses it so much they are blind to the quirks and faults in its experience (hence why user testing is so important) Though it gets ridiculous sometimes how bad it can be in software

I gave up on trying to disable gif playback by default. It would just stop gifs from working entirely. Fine. I want to see your distracting moving pictures that might or might not flashbang me anyway.
