Swami - Sampled Waveforms and And Musical Instruments - is an advanced instrument editor for MIDI music composition and a sampler frontend. Currently SoundFont(r) files can be browsed, edited and saved and new instrument formats are being added in the Swami development version. Swami uses FluidSynth for software synthesis, so almost any sound card can be used. FluidSynth has real time effect control and SoundFont 2.01 modulator support for controlling effects in real time with MIDI. WWW: http://swami.sourceforge.net/ - Jean-Yves Lefort jylefort@FreeBSD.org
