I tried some more things, and I get the same behaviour when: - all racks are minimised - the patch editor is open. - IB is visible I guess it's a GPU thing. Just wondering if there are any other M1 users that have the same issue? I must say it's already a lot better then on my former MBP i9, which w...

I'm putting some preset managers from different racks in the Top Header space. The preset managers are in subpatches in the corresponding racks. When I unlock the workspace and re-arrange the different preset managers, they jump back to their initial position when I minimise or maximise racks... I t...

I'm running a workspace and it's running steady at app. 12% CPU load. When I switch to IB view, the CPU starts ramping up to 30%, even when there's nothing on the IB page... Any suggestions on how to solve this? I'm running the latest Hollyhock 5.2.230411 M1- M2 edition on a MBPro M1 Max. Thanks in ...

Hi, just reviving this thread :-) With Renoise, Bespoke and Endlesss now supporting Ableton Link it would be really very handy to have Usine doing it too. My workflow now is sending Link from Bespoke Synthesizer to Usine over Midi Clock. At least it's more efficient than running an instance of Live ...

AndrewChi

I'm on 5.0.210726 apparently.
I'll try again with the latest update!

Hi, I'm trying to connect my Muse headband (cheap EEG) with a software called mindmonitor to Usine with OSC. I get this error. I'm fairly new to OSC, but I don't get this error when monitoring the data on this computer in Ableton... Any ideas? Any help warmly appreciated! Schermafbeelding 2021-12-21...

We expanded/upgraded to + live string quartet!!! Live @ Sonar, Barcelona

Very special thanks to @senso for being so quick with the update enabling live .mid export from Hollyhock.
Enjoy!

+1 for Ableton Link. It's so easy to sync with other DAWs!! Would be great to see this feature in Usine too. For the moment I am running Ableton Live in the background just for the link, sending MIDI Clock to Usine. It works, but you need a copy of Live to do that and it's also a big waste of resour...

AndrewChi

Fixed in HH5 as promised. Merci beaucoup!!! Top notch.

AndrewChi

Wow. Just w o w. Can't wait!!!

AndrewChi

Wow!! Thanks so much.
For some reason I didn't get a notification for your post...
Going to test it now!!

AndrewChi

That's really great to hear! I was experimenting with the script but I'm running into an error converting the PianoRoll array to Comma text. Do you already have a rough ETA on the next release? I'm working on a project due 26 October... For now I'll try the OSX 'Automator' route again to get things ...

AndrewChi

That's great!!
I'll get busy with it and report later!!

Merci beaucoup.

AndrewChi

That's a good tip, thanks. Don't know if it's going to work out for me because I really need the standard the midi file format. The goal is to be able to visualize the contents of Usine's piano roll in musical notation. I want to open the generated midi file in MuseScore on the fly... I'm going to l...

AndrewChi

Thanks @Senso and @oli_lab for your quick replies! Would be supernice to see this implemented in HH5! For now I'll try to find a clumsy workaround with some type of screen automators to achieve this. Or do you think of another solution that could work? Would it be possible with a script maybe? Thank...

Hi,
I'm trying to export my recorded MIDI data in the PianoRoll as a .mid file.
Is this possible? I cannot seem to find how to do it...

Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot.

Hi, I just did a performance with an extensive Usine setup and my trusty EWI5000. My friend is coding live beats and percussive sounds in Sonic Pi and Tidal Cycles. A 3rd computer is generating some musical 'answers' to my MIDI phrases in realtime with a machine learning engine (Magenta/Tensorflow) ...

Great! Thank you very much for your fast reply Senso. Works perfect!!

Hello, I need some help... I am trying to save a random sample name and a text file with the same name. This works, but I also need to extract the file name WITHOUT extension (.WAV and .TXT) later on to work with it in the patch. the module 'extract file ext' extracts the extension, but the module '...

AndrewChi

Hi and welcome to the wonderful world of Usine. Unfortunately I'm not living near you. But I can say out of experience you can opt for Usine over Audiomulch with your eyes closed. I have been using Usine since the very beginning, migrating from Reaktor. I have also a pretty complex setup with lots o...

amen!
wow

Hi Seamus, I have a bigger patch in previous Usine version, but this is the basic implementation in Hollyhock: http://www.sensomusic.com/forums/uploads.php?file=TEST%20SCALER.jpg this is the patch: http://www.sensomusic.com/forums/uploads.php?file=TEST%20SCALER.pat Could be that I forgot something, ...

Hi, I get different results with using a dispatcher module to send array data to different outputs, than with achieving the same using several logical =modules, different constants and pass event flow-modules for sending the data. How are they different? It has another internal timing or something i...

The way pd patches look in notepad, look a bit similar to the .txt files in the Templates folder of Usine to me. http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-7365-files-just-text I recently discovered that Hollyhock's patches also don't look bad either :-) I think this is a really powerful feature. Would it be...

AndrewChi

Get a tablet that runs Win7 and use the network options of Usine to open a 'remote' version of the patch (if it's too heavy for the tablet). I can understand you don't want to buy a new tablet... :-( but still, this combination would rock & would do anything you described and more... A cheaper but p...

AndrewChi

Oooops, I'm very sorry, I was too fast!!! While updating Hollyhock, I've overwritten the files of update #8, resulting in the delete button bug. When deleting the contents of my Hollyhock-folder completely and copying the new files, I'm able to delete modules with my trusted delete button!!! (right ...

AndrewChi

In the latest update my delete button doesn't seem to work anymore. Am I the only one?
Another strange thing is I cannot use my right-mouse button anymore for quick patching (since Hollyhock) even in Windows.
Is this normal, or do I miss something to make it work again?
Thanks!

AndrewChi

@hesspet: I currently use the mapper value to map incoming notes to different ones. With the preset manager you can save exotic scales want and even make them dynamic (ex. Responding to notes form let's say the MIDI-keyboard player in your band. What you have to do is - filter midi messages to Note ...

AndrewChi

Hi!
Thanks for your answer, exactly what I needed to know!
I have an RME hammerfall dsp II which connects via PCIe, should be no problem there I guess!
I will find another video PCIe card and of we go!
Looking forward to test this out soon. Thanks again.

AndrewChi

Do you think it would perform less than a desktop-setup? Sometimes industrial servers are dumped at low prices and could make a difference to the wallet :-) If I could just run Windows or possibly Ubuntu for Usine, and use 1 PCIe slot soundcard, 1 for video... http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/proli...

Hi, I'm going for a new live-rig computer and since I'm already using some 19"-racks for gear, I was thinking to get a rackmounted PC for running Hollyhock on stage. While searching I noticed most rack-computers are servers. And also, the new mac pro uses Xeon multicore processors. So my questions a...

AndrewChi

Alright, that's great! looks like I'm gonna have a lot of fun this year

thx!

AndrewChi

Ok, thanks!
Can or will it be possible to shoot internal messages directly from an Usine script, the chat window

or way to access the console to open .txt files while Hollyhock is running (for batch-processing purposes)?

AndrewChi

I'm just starting to look into IML.
I cannot seem to find where to open the .txt files from the Templates folder inside Hollyhock.
Is it possible to send IML-messages from the command prompt while HH is running?
Thanks!

AndrewChi

Anyone else tried it too? When Ubuntu for Android arrives, maybe it would be even possible to have hollyhock running on a phone soon

.
Would be glad to know since it's sort of the only reason why I'm still running Windows today...

AndrewChi

Also HAPPY NEW YEAR USINE & HH USERS around the world!!! @waolelaid I also think nobody is annoyed with questions/problems... Glad to help and if Senso and Nay are too busy making HH even better, I'm sure there are a lot of users who want to help you! I would be glad anyway :-) When Hollyhock first ...

AndrewChi

Great! looking forward for the new release!

Thanks senso.

AndrewChi

What I'm trying to make is: -an incoming stream of midi notes -an outgoing stream of 'mapped' notes, like a scale or something. Important is that the scale should be DYNAMIC! I want it derived from the last notes I was playing. This already works, there is no problem there, I only want to get this c...

AndrewChi

While patching in Hollyhock I discovered that the new Mapper-module for values has its ARRAY-out only on the output-section. In the former Usine, it used to be both on the input side (left). I want to get incoming midi NOTE ON flow, mapped to a dynamic array. It is impossible to connect something to...

AndrewChi

Yeah thanks a lot!
After some adventures in other modular software, I have to say, I'm BACK!
Despite all the hard work I have reprogramming my system in Hollyhock, I have to say the new version ROCKS! It really is more powerful than all the other programs around. 2 Thumbs up!
thanks!!!

AndrewChi

@noise2sine : Did you use Usine 5? Usine 5 is pretty much perfect for me, but has a very unstable midi-implementation. The reason why I'm a little concerned/frustrated is that my favorite software will not likely be updated anytime soon. The current version of Usine 5 has a major midi problem and so...

AndrewChi

first impressions: NICE INTERFACE! LOOKS LIKE A NEW START! THX GREAT WORK!! but.... Unfortunately it really IS a new start i'm starting to worry.... My most important Usine 5 patch (a heavy sequencer beast with lots of dynamic GUI stuff) is clearly not compatible to start with... Will try to export ...

AndrewChi

My impatience is driven by the fact that the old Usine no longer works on my Windows 8 x64 machine. It gets confused all the time and interprets midi off as on and more such nonsense, so it's pretty much unusable. The old/current Usine always had a buggy MIDI-implementation, it drove me near nuts i...

AndrewChi

Found this thread when I was experiencing the same challenge!

this works also!
the first division is by 12
and the multiplications are also *12

AndrewChi

Okay Sensomusic team: You guys are pure GENIUS!!! With the new MIDI-implementation I hope I can finally hook up my Akai Wind Controller through Usine! Will standalone export and VST-export still be there? And: With the multi-selection now working, will the GUI's be resizable in that manner? Can't wa...

AndrewChi

SOLVED!!!!! Sorry just after writng I got a telepathic message from Olivier Sens and got the answer :-) I was multiplying the LOCAL position in order to calculate my step positions, the MASTER synchro uses a total position, which is based on minutes and seconds. Using the LOCAL synchro together with...

AndrewChi

hello, I am making a sequencer patch, which is able to switch between a local and a master tempo. When I use the same patch, but replace the master with the local synchro module and put them at the same tempo, the patch with the local synchro is 1/32th beat off (it comes a 32th too late). Anyone any...

AndrewChi

the recording capability of Usine is a very nice feature. But when the system accidentally crashes,
I seem to lose everything.
If, for instead, Usine would prompt you to save filenames before recording,
would it be possible to retrieve those files after a crash?

AndrewChi

Hi,
It would be really nice if an interface object could be group selected when the panel is unlocked
and resized and moved in groups.
I also was thinking, since I work on different computers with different screen resolutions,
would it be possible to have real resizable interface panels?

AndrewChi

I was just dreaming about being able to record every move directly into the sequencer section of Usine.
Recording jams and improvisations in this fashion and having all controller data for further tweaking and editing
could open up a whole new level of creation!

AndrewChi

Thanks everybody!
Disabled "perfect synchro" and it works!

AndrewChi

I want to control the global tempo of a my patch from the IB, which can be easily done with the MasterSync module. I also want the tempo knob on the IB to be updated with tempochanges which are not encoded by this tempo knob (ex. Tap-tempo). It works when I put a 'pass only if changed' on the Master...

AndrewChi

Interesting. Experimenting with it now. It's indeed very interesting to do math on arrays like that without having to script :-). While trying to implement my idea with the above tips, I encountered another related problem regarding the data flow of arrays. What I'm in fact trying to do, is to link ...

AndrewChi

Wow,
indeed,
what a stupid guy I am.
I was supposing Multiply modules didn't work for those red cabled Arrays... :/

Anyway! thx for your reply, it helped a lot

At least it got me interested in scripting (reading wiki)!

AndrewChi

Hi, I am trying to multiply an array. I want values from a SeqSwitch to feed a SeqStep. The Seqswitch outputs values from 0 to 1, my Seqswitch has values from 0 to 9. So, if the SeqSwitch gives value 1, I want to multiply the Array so that the SeqSwitch reads a 9... I think thought this could be eas...

AndrewChi

IT WORKS!!!!!!!

Big thanks to you nay-seven, you're the best!!

Hope to upload patch any time soon.

AndrewChi

yes, I see what you mean. but what I was trying is to use it in the same way as a stepsequencer module. So I draw my sequence, store it in the conductor and recall it at will. The Piano Roll doesn't work that way, right? I made a drum + bass sequencer. The drums are all step sequencers or faders. Th...

AndrewChi

I have a bit the same problem.
It seems that patterns created with the piano roll are not stored at all in the conductor...
Is this normal, or did I make a mistake....

AndrewChi

CANNOT WAIT
but still,
Master Senso,
take all the time you need
we just KNOW it's gonna be worth it!

AndrewChi

Well, now Im doing fairly basic stuff. Just a sampler with a breath controlled LPfilter to get that distinctive blowing sound and a preset system to get the right sample at the right pitch. Also experimenting with the autoharmonyII script, which is supernice but also hangs once in a while :-( Does t...

With the latest version I have far less MIDI problems, except with my Akai EWI, which sends a lot of controller information like breath, volume, aftertouch, glide on off, ... I still have the problem. After 20 min or so, it starts playing by itself. All kinds of weird notes. It even outputs it to th...

AndrewChi

I seem to have a similar problem. After some time (usually 15min or so) , I get all kinds of strange midi data when I touch one of my midi controllers (handsonic drum pads/ewi4000 wind controller/fcb1010 footcontroller). I think I also fixed it! (for now) It seems Usine uses the not quite well progr...
