All of a sudden after installing this the soundcard I use (Avid Mbox Mini) has trouble loading. The soundcard does not load properly and the program crashed about 20 times last night before I was able to get it running right before a gig on stage. Once it was running with the audio driver started, i...

I managed to get all this working in Usine on Windows 10. I love this program. The footpedals (Keith McMillen 12step and Softsteps) are programmed to send notes to the computer. The MIDI notes are read by the InsertPiz MIDIChords .vst which transposes them to pre-set chords and all that data is sent...

I'll upload later a patch that I'm putting together, that will do what you described and a bit more. Thanks! I actually used your instructions and I was totally able to make it work as desired!

I don't really get the idea, what do you mean each voice detuned to a different note? different from what? There is a midi expand voices script, which divides incoming notes to different voices (you can edit the script to change number of output voices) and then you can process those notes independ...

Hello all, I'm trying to figure out a way to do this in Usine HH3: https://www.facebook.com/vlade.guigni/posts/10155802805552429 Basically, his Matrix 12 is set so that each voice is detuned to a different note which in total makes up a musical phrase. He can play the whole phrase by manually retrig...

Oh!!! I believe I have also figured out a different, cleaner solution as well!

If you just "right-click" that same parameter and click "Midi Forget", it stops flickering ...

Oh ok cool. Thanks for your help. I guess that's gonna be kind of a drag if you've gotta map the whole thing to an entirely different set of knob controls since there are so many parameters on Dune 2, but maybe I can just do it all at once and then save that as a special sub-patched patch for the fu...

So I've tried it out on 32bit Usine (and 32bit VST). I saw that as soon as I touched any parameter within VST GUI, it would start to flutter like crazy. Changing preset helps to reset them to rest, but what's more, I found that as soon as I added Usine UI control to any parameter, this behaviour st...

Hi. Have you selected hardware acceleration in general settings? It's been added just recently in version 3.0.139 Also you need to go to Nvidia control panel and add Usine in 3D settings, then set it to use discrete GPU instead of integrated. None of that GPU/hardware acceleration stuff worked, and...

I have an issue in HH3. I just switched my performance setup over to PC because I got a more powerful computer. One of my go-to synths is Dune 2. I do like to tweak and edit the patches sometimes. I'm on 64-bit. I can load and play any patches I've already made or any presets from Dune, but if I sta...

Hi Litz1, Thanks a lot for the info. I was looking at building around an Intel 8700k. The 8700k is quite a bit cheaper than the $1000 Threadripper 1950X but functions with 6 cores/12threads at 3.8ghz base clock but it's unlocked so I'm thinking it'll do more than 4ghz unless I get really unlucky in...
