[Audio-engine-dev] Synthesizer engine proposal

[Karl Helgason]

HI,

I have been working on new synthesizer engine as a proposal for the audio-engine project.

The synthesizer can be downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=175084&package_id=246500&release_id=541049

It looks for default soundbank in these location:
    %JAVA_RUNTIME_LOCATION%\lib\audio\*.dls and *.sf2
    %WINDOWS_LOCATION%\system32\drivers\gm.dls


Hightlight of features:

* Downloadable Sound Level 2.2
* SoundFonts 2.04 (24 bit)
* Gravis Ultrasound-compatible patches
* Use Audio files (AIFF, AU and WAV) as SoundBanks
* General Midi Level 2
* MIDI Tuning Standard
* Drumkits can be used on any channel
* Sinc interpolation with anti-aliasing
