as long as you have audio interface with DC coupling, you can send out CV/Gate as audio out on different channels.
With controllers like BeatStep perhaps it's possible to feed it midi from Usine and then controller would convert it to CV/Gate?

preset recall can cause stutters or freeze up if you don't take care to check what modules should save states to presets and which ones don't have to. it's quite easy to accumulate huge data set that needs to be loaded instantly, so you get lags.

I think the best for Usine would be a VST bridge that communicates with a separately running instance of Usine. I'm sure this was talked about before.

It would be really nice if it took off, and plug-in support could be open source.

Not sure to understand the question. The manual explain that (maybe not so clearly) Most of VST are executed in a single thread and Usine can't do miracles. 87% in usine vs 8% in OSX means that only few cores are running and all others are sleeping. The best way to reduce the cpu load is to dispatc...

it was discussed before and the problem was that if you're given ability to input specific Z index, it can easily clash with same index. but, I think as a secondary setting this could work out easily, like if 2 same Z-indexes meet, then follow current layering priority system and that's it.

ok, I see what you mean. it is typical behaviour for VSTs even to overwrite notes if voices are full, but you can trick this behavior with such patch or script. hopefully someone here with scripting skills can make a version of this script that does force sustain notes.

when you stop recording, you have to confirm saving the files (name it if you want to and locate), all racks should be then saved as separate files. so filename goes like this: %name%-%outputname%.wav. basically there should be as many files as there are devices/racks in recorder.

So, Surround-8 'device' would output 8-channel wav file. even if your audio device doesn't support 8 channels to ou...

when you click on specific element in Usine, in settings panel there's 'remote settings' tab with midi icon, there you can specify keyboard shortcut among other things. many panels already have shortcuts assigned, for instance Interface Builder should be Ctrl+I.

and only use one midi out in a patch

x.iso

is it even possible to use JACK if it's not supported by either Ableton or Usine?

x.iso

I think it's easier to pass midi messages through some virtual midi interface, so it will be velocity of the kick note instead of volume. if you add audio loopbacks, it will increase latency overall.

x.iso

if you're using Windows, then I think only virtual audio cable can help with this. when HH4 comes out, it will be possible to pass audio/midi in and out of Usine through VST Bridge, but it won't work on HH3.

well, in manual for Minilab mk2 it says: 2.2.1. Footswitch jack The footswitch jack accepts a momentary footswitch (optional) and allows it to function as either a momentary switch (such as sustain pedal) or a latching switch (first press/release sends one event, second press/release sends the next ...

is there no other input other than sustain? I think first of all you need to make sure your controller settings allow other than on/off modes

x.iso

What you need to understand here is that there are different types of flows which are color coded in Usine for a reason, most of the time you are not supposed to mix them up. MIDI is complex flow consisting of messages and not compatible with regular data flows. it can be broken down to data flows w...

2 ways to do this. 1) easy way: if reset is not used, then set reset value to 1 instead of 0 and use reset button in toolbar of the module, or wire a button to reset node. 2) other way: there's array inlet for values, you just have to pass array of same size as this module has, full of 1 values. for...

it's one of the basics of patching in Usine. polyphonic sub-patches are useful in many applications.

x.iso

This 'Shapes' sub-patch is polyphonic, so when you open it, you see first and also a reference voice. when you edit anything within it, it won't apply to other voices until you hit 'apply polyphony' in patch settings. So what you want to do first here, is dive into sub-patch, make combo box by dragg...

Sure, Usine's Grid is quite unique and flexible.

It's possible to do this via CC mapping, but only using Virtual MIDI cables,...

when you do this via Device patch, you could overwrite default device patch and have this limiter there all the time in any workspace. this can also be used to add some UI elements/controls that you may want to have all the time as well, by placing stuff in this patch and assigning to display necess...

x.iso

As an option perhaps it would be good (there's separate settings for Bridge now), especially if it's possible to just point Usine to the location of wks instead of saving it with project.

x.iso

for now it's implemented like this: when Usine HH4 detects VST Bridge in another DAW, it syncs to it and routes it's audio/MIDI outs through this VST in the DAW and also inputs audio/midi from the DAW. for comparison, while FL Studio VST loads the instance of the app as sub-process of the DAW, Usine...

there's no actual pre-roll in Usine, but you could just dedicate a section for this. so here's a tip: make 1 bar section with metronome if needed, or you could just make a led blinking to the beat and make it appear on top panel. then set up launch quantization for your loop section, so that when yo...

Hi, Ariajazz. One of the reasons workspace presets take long to load (and even some patch presets may), is because potentially lots of modules have 'save in preset' checked (by default), and a lot of times it's totally unnecessary and adds up the latency for snapshot recalling. It can be hard enough...

x.iso

Will some of this be available in HH4? One thing I want the most is addition of search bar to context menu whenever you drag a wire to empty space or right-click somewhere to insert a module. That would allow patching without relying on browser window, which would be a good relief in many ways.

x.iso

As sephult mentioned, it might be because engine needs to run for VST to work properly and connect to device. read his posts above

have you tried to turn on/off clock/timecode in midi device's settings?

Also, what does manual says exactly? plugin just tells that 'some' midi connections need to be turned off.

I'm having some troubles using many plugins. I'm on a win 10 pc, brand new laptop. Usine doesn't seem to be able to "see" many plugins i downloaded (all 64bit) when scanning.

Well since they obey your controller, maybe putting Pass if Changed between Midi input and Midi inlet could help.

I've recently noticed, that although this synth can use CPU a bit too much, if used in separate rack then other patches/racks won't just stack up CPU usage, seems like core distribution is making things even. Hope in HH4 I can achieve better performance though. Here's a quick video demo that I forgo...

in array they're just side-by-side and not linked. realistically you could make a patch with a row of switches under each fader in array, and a side-fader for relative value change on selected faders. As I've said it's a bit more complicated since you need to make sure to block loopbacks when either...

x.iso

just checked, Ctrl+Shift+Drag works for values inversion, 0 values stay at 0, the rest values would rotate like a wave around 0 value. Shift+Drag offsets values horizontally, Ctrl+click/drag resets values. If you need to adjust specific selected faders, then it also should be possible, but that woul...

x.iso

It's kinda possible to do with typical Array/Step module, at least there was a key combination that allow adjusting all values at once, but not selectively. If that's ok, then you could wire it to rack setting module in a poly container: http://www.sensomusic.org/forums/uploads.php?file=usine%20cust...

OSC would help with that I think, since it should be a 2-way control, but that's if this app supports OSC. It looks too cheesy though, there are plenty of OSC controller apps out there.

that's the main problem, 'objects touch' doesn't report off state properly when using touch. with mouse x,y method I can at least get null state when all touch points are gone, but can't shake off tracking of the points that are lifted along the way.

This is related to issue I'm having with this patch: http://www.sensomusic.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=41213#p41213 Currently I haven't found a way to reliably track X,Y points of multi-touch input with dynamic array (meaning size of the array should always be consistent with number of points, no '...

x.iso

Ugh, still not good enough. When multiple points of touch used, and then any of the points released, the array stays at maximum size till all points released, thus any tracked points get 'stuck' without reporting null. This makes some problems as there's no way to reliably discern the stuck notes to...

x.iso

Ok, I might have figured out that one finally. Just by chance I've noticed that when you use XY pad or Draw pad, if number of elements is less than touch input points, then mouse x/y becomes array! This is what I needed, so I set number of objects to 0 in XY pad and get raw X,Y points array from the...

As far as I know, for better video performance you need to make sure codecs in your system are set up in such a way that video decoding is offloaded to GPU (even if it's integrated one, should be better performance). Also more compressed videos could perform worse, but RAW high resolution videos als...

Each sample is mapped to a note, so what you actually need is to intercept note messages and recreate them with random note.
here's example workspace http://www.sensomusic.org/forums/upload ... xample.wkp
EDIT: sorry, forgot to set MIDI Filter ON to actual Note ON messages ðŸ˜ so set the filter to Note ON there.

you could also replace Random Note On generator with MIDI step sequence array and create you own pattern that will go off one step per note input. In this example I've made some extra patching to generate Note OFF messages in time with input midi, otherwise there's no note off or you can just put MIDI transformer and set the fixed note lenght

I've definitely loaded Pigments in Usine 64 and it seems to be the only VST3 specific plugin I have. Otherwise there's no info about VST version support, it's just stated that VST in general is supported.

- sync performance needs to be tested personally.

Yes, it's for use with Matrix arrays. index is column number in a given matrix array. As far as I remember it doesn't fade from column to column.

I think it should be under midi/controller tab, but depending on your workspace it might not work properly anyway, as recalling global preset may come with significant latency.

If you want it to act like Pitchbend and return to 0 each time you let it go, then try Touch Fader module, there was a mode for that.

But if you just want a reset button, it's as easy as placing a button and wiring it to reset inlet on the fader.

If I'm not mistaken, videos are decoded in same way they will with any video player by default, meaning if dGPU decoding is enabled for certain codecs, it should also offload to dGPU in Usine?
