Musescores New Playback engine and Instruments

• Feb 18, 2023 - 11:26

Is the documentation anywhere on how one would script an Instrument if they wanted to add it to the musescore insturments? I intend to create a Kontakt Instrument soon anyways and was thinking that it would be nice to maybe just put it there for musecore to use.
Instruments would be:
-> Piano with moveable micing positions (not sure how I would implement that XD)
-> Sopran Recorder
-> Alto Recorder
-> Tenor Recorder
-> Bass Recorder
The last four musescore doesn´t have at all yet, so I thought they might be of use

Yeah I am talking about the MuseSounds.

I was asking, if a person that is not part of the Musescore team could programm instruments for musescore with self made samplelibraries :)
In other words, is there a way to create your own MuseSounds as the options given over external software Instruments very much interest me.

If there is a way to do surch a thing, then I would like to know where one could find information on how to approach such a task.

Sorry I might have worded it poorly.
I know that the standard MS soundfont has recorders, they just sound a little rough and midi like :)

You may want to reach out to MuseHub developers to ask this, I think at zendesk.musehub.com website. Think about this from their perspective... MuseHub is a closed-source environment. If you deconstructed any family of MuseSounds (brass, keys, woodwinds, strings etc.) and created your own, 1) I doubt they would let your creation into their closed environment, 2) who maintains fixes / improvements --you - for free??, 3) are there copyright implications?, 4) what if you step away from what you created, who will take over maintenance?

A goodly number of the default timbres / instruments in either MS3 or MS4 (non-MuseSounds) sound rough & MIDI-like. All my music that I've migrated to MS and uploaded to the .COM repository is fundamentally there for musicians to find and then select to perform. The audio rendering that may sound rough & MIDI-like is only a preview of what real humans could produce.

Very fair arguments. Thank you for pointing these things out! I will ponder them in the morning and see if I might just offer the files to them for use or something like that... As in using them in the musescore enviroment... I will have to see....
Once again. Thank you for pointing these things out, I am yet to really work in any from of development that wasn´t just... me with the only usually usually also being... me.
