It's back, the Xonotic Bot Orchestra! (was: Coming soon...)

BWAHAHAHAAAA!!!

awesome

Ah something new. I like it!

Reuploaded it with "burned in" captions. That way they don't make trouble (e.g. youtube player for iPhone can't show captions, and on some Firefox/Linux/flash combos they seem hard to read).

OH MY GOD BOTS OF PENZANCE

Is that text to speech?

If so... nicee.
Can that be done when a player does say "bla bla bla" so we can sing along?

It is text to speech, but can't be that easily integrated into Xonotic. It is prerendered audio samples (one per syllable)...

What about that other text to speech thing, f something. Let me look it up. Festival? Can that be intergrated. I used it once and I was able to have another program pass the text to it.

That last song sound very folksy, needs some jamboree strings!

This model is CC-BY so gpl compat:

Want it done up at some point?

Back and front needs to be arched but that's not too hard.

I am pretty sure you can integrate festival if you want.

All you have to do is to find a festival equivalent to this line:

our $ESPEAK = 'espeak -v "$VOICE" ${VOICE_PATH:+--path="$VOICE_PATH"} -z -p "$PITCH" -s "$SPEED" -w "$OUT" -m "<prosody range=\"0\"> $SYLLABLE </prosody>"';

This can then be placed in a control file (option -C) to override the use of espeak. See examples/extravoices/mb-en1.inc for an example. If festival lacks pitch control, you can also include rubberband.inc to use the rubberband tool for pitch shifting instead.

Is it possible to change the hz of "A" of the instruments via server setting (say from standard 440hz down to 432) and the clients obey this, in real time or could it be?
Concert A in my house is 432.
How does one add a new instrument, I can follow the code fine, I just mean making the samples from zymaddsubfx?

Could something like this be integrated for real time text-to speech in xonotic? Have un-overrideable cvars (like server password) for:
cl_voice_robotic
cl_voice_female
cl_voice_male
cl_voice_animal
cl_voice_erebus

which contain the executable string (unoverridable because otherwise any server could cause you to execute any command and that would be very bad) for doing text to speech, and then in the modelname.txt file where there is all the info of the model: texttospeechsettings cl_voice_erebus (for instance).

Or maybe what would be needed is a cvar:
cl_texttospeech (0,1,2) (0 off, 1 espeek, 2 festival) and the cl_voice_X will just have the settings which get invoked with the espeek or festival (and only allows a-z 123 _- " and space characters) command (that way the server can't stuff other commands).
festival or espeek binary might have to be in some area DP can access?

ZynAddSubFX uses 4 main algoritims to make it's sounds plus about 8 modifiers (echos etc). The rest of the code has to do with custom keys and custom scales and the gui elements. Would it be hard to integrate those routines into the darkplaces sound system and thus have an on-board synth?

To change the tuning of A from 440Hz to 432Hz, change in client/tuba.qc:

n = ReadChar();

into

n = ReadChar() - 0.31767;

That should do.

Thank you. I there a way I could network the deviation from normal concert A to the clients from the server so the conductor (server admin) could tell all the clients n = ReadChar() - (someservervariable);

Though... hmm let me think maybe there should be a client var too, that works kinda like the AES settings: always use server setting | always use my settings (this way if the server settings are wrong for what you've tuned your instruments too, you could always override the server's command, but otherwise if you're just a listener (you wouldn't have "override server" set), the conductors wish occurs.

right now I'll make I guess cl_concert_a_deviation or something like that, let me check what the sound client cvars are set as.

Thankyou btw, this will suffice for playing along in the house .

Sure you can network it. If you modify csprogs.dat, this gets distributed to the clients.

So if you do that change, it automatically affects all clients.

A new one:

BTW, Pythagorean tuning is bad and you should feel bad.

Hope the 432Hz aren't coming from that...

Allright, added:
n = ReadChar() + autocvar_g_balance_tuba_concertadeviation;

set g_balance_tuba_concertadeviation "-0.31767"
for my client cfg.

What is the algorithim to find the deviation from 440?

No, I just like the lower sound, also my guitar sounds brighter/more cheery (even though the tuning is lower rather than higher) with the lower tuning. Sounded kinda dead with the higher tuning so I guess it was made for a lower one.

The formula is

Semitones = 12 * log(freq/440) / log(2)
