Welcome to %s forums

ceasless

I just ran into this problem, so thank you to glikbp for sharing this solution.

I certainly don't mind using 5.5.2 again, since you say it is working for you under El Capitan.

ceasless

It should be very cool to have a 64bits version for Mac OSX. There is more and more plugins that didn't work on 32 bits. And for some big projects with complex workshop, i think it is better with a 64 bits software. I understand it would be a hard job. And i can't help you because it is out of my c...

ceasless

It will be a test for the Delphi platform to gather 64-bit support on macOS before they turn off 32-bit application support in an upcoming version, as I've read they will. And visiting the website I just noticed that the newest version includes the first Linux compiler! It would be incredibly cool t...

ceasless

@trogluddite, Both the the library and the looping module sound really great! I haven't done much beyond some very rudimentary examples with the Hollyhock C++ SDK but I can imagine the utility of the library immediately. There are not so many examples to go on, either, so it would also lower the bar...

ceasless

When you turn two knobs at once, I could imagine that the MIDI messages arrive as a multiplexed stream (99,99,98,6,98,6,38,38, or any mixture thereof). If you add some debugging print statement to print out the cc ('cc is 99;is NRPN is 0', 'cc 98; isNRPN is 1', etc), do they ever arrive out of order?

ceasless

oli_lab, no worries you can transfer to me however you want!

ceasless

Hey oli_lab,

that is quite an impressive set of modules. I will gladly compile them!

I hope we can also find a better long term solution, as I know you like to patch and update your plugins.

ceasless

sm_jamieson, I used to try to stay on top of compiling OS X versions of user plugs. It's a big effort though, and sadly I fell behind. There are a few options for automatic compilation on various platforms. Maybe one of those could offer a more robust solution. Either way, you could add your code to...

ceasless

These are some super thought provoking videos. Very impressive work, and some of my favorite examples of Usine so far put to video.

Is there a way to test/explore DMX lighting arrangements virtually? I would like to explore, but I don't have a stage or a lighting rig.

ceasless

Can you upload a screenshot of your patch? You need to have the IAC MIDI out device in the output section of the rack, as well as having everything wired up properly.

ceasless

Nice to see you dpcoffin

Yup, you need to write post before starting a new topic, as the forums have had spam issues in the past.

ceasless

Unfortunately I don't have any advice or help, but wanted to mention that I am watching this thread with great interest. I have *never* had a preset manager patch behave the way I expect. I've tried to rewrite Sequins to use a preset manager many times, and I've never gotten past the first step succ...

ceasless

Nice one Drakh!!

ceasless

Yeah there is definitely a lot of renewed momentum in the user library. Blocks are cool but I really hope to see some crazy new synthesizers using all the new core macros that were added. Even something simple like upgraded versions of the factory library that use the new filters / oscillators would...

ceasless

Yeah, it's really a significant boost, especially the patching interface. Usine spoiled me rotten when it comes to a comfortable patching environment, so it's good that Reaktor has leveled up. Of course, looks aren't everything. But the new core-based oscillators and filters are deeply inviting soun...

ceasless

FWIW, being able to load some of these block filters alone (esp. that Monark! whoa!) was enough to drive me to upgrade. These fit very well into the Usine paradigm.

ceasless

You are right, of course, nay. I'm happy to have contributed and a proud addict

It's a good thing that the prices have come to a fixed place.

Looking forward to the forum!

ceasless

nay, that's a bit of a shame for those of use that bought the addict license

But it's good that the prices have stabilized.

And what about the addict forum?

ceasless

Where do you see 149? It's just 49, right?

senso, whatever happened to the "addict forum"? is that still planned / part of the lifetime license?

ceasless

hey sephult, oli_lab, I will try lseed on mac with oli_lab's modules in a personal directory and see if it works. thank you both for the great works

ceasless

Hi sephult!

If you can get the source code for the user modules to me, or into the hollyhock-grove on github ( https://github.com/ab5tract/hollyhock-grove ) I will compile them for OS X. It might take a bit, but I would love to help.

ceasless

Hey oli_lab, I guess you got tired of waiting for me... I'm sorry about that. So many projects at once, and a summer to enjoy as well. You should modify one of the existing Xcode project files. Then there is a 'Rename' option. Honestly it took a while for me to figure it out, and it is still kind of...

ceasless

Hmm.. What is the error message?

git can be tricky. Usually if you google around with the error, you can find something. I will help with whatever I can too.

ceasless

OS X versions now available! https://github.com/ab5tract/hollyhock-g ... r/bin/os-x

You will need to click on the module's link, and then download via 'save as' via the "Raw" link.

Or wait for oli_lab to update his add-ons.

Oh, and I very much agree, oli_lab is awesome

ceasless

This is one option. But in Visual Studio, you should be able to add files to the project without adding them to the directory itself. So if you open one of the projects, you should be able to add the files that are found in hollyhock-grove/sdk to the project, and then the compiler should be able to ...

ceasless

oli_lab/23fx23, can you update/add add-ons with the new OS X binaries too? This may help find any bugs more quickly as well. And sorry for the long delay! It should not take so long with any of your future contributions. oli_lab, I had to remove the "../../sdk/" part of the ' #include "UserDefiniti...

ceasless

Your welcome nay! Here is a link to download the Grove as a zip file: https://github.com/ab5tract/hollyhock-grove/archive/master.zip Then you can add the modules from the right bin directory for your OS and (osx, win32, or win64) to Hollyhock and everything should be there for testing. oli_lab/23fx2...

ceasless

Hey all, sorry I have been missing recently. I have successfully compiled for OS X all of the module code that has been added to the Grove so far. The only exception was oli_lab's 'Wander' module, which requires a library called 'Eigen' which I did not look into fixing yet. oli_lab, if you can add t...

ceasless

The name grabbed my attention as well... IMO, they should never have chosen a name that is so close to an existing product.

ceasless

Really great! Thanks!

ceasless

It would be a super-bummer if the Linnstrument would have issues.

And ahanoe, you lucky person! How is the thing? As cool as it seems?

ceasless

Hey 23fx23, I plan to compile the Grove today, so feel free to upload the source and I will get the OS X binary compiled and uploaded.

ceasless

nay, I do not think the SDK installed will have an effect, as the test is loading the module in Usine, which has no idea about the SDK.

It would be cool if gercha1 could confirm whether this is doing what he needs though

ceasless

Hey oli_lab,

were these also in the file you uploaded for the Grove?

This weekend I am going to be compiling OS X versions of all the modules

ceasless

Probably this is a more of a "natural" response from the Macbook as the laptop's GPU spins up. I think they are pushing the boundaries of sense in their chase for slimness.

Though I had heard that the NVidia cards were better for heat in the Macbooks recently..

ceasless

I think oli_lab is right. Since temp_value is only assigned and accessed within the innermost loop, you should be able to get away with a single placeholder variable. A small enhancement to the memory efficiency of your module. Unless there is something I'm missing (and I've gotten used to that ;) )...

ceasless

r.error: do you mean "index of a changed value in an array" ? because that is available through my mid-on-my-mind scripts

ceasless

I Have never had luck with the update file feature, so I end up uploading all over again.

ceasless

ceasless

Re: OSC out. Just a thought, but have you checked your firewall settings? Is Hollyhock allowed to open ports?

ceasless

Yes I think that is a good idea for your module. Add the book as a private member variable, set it true during process/callback after it meets the condition that you want to redraw after. Then check that bool in on paint. It is definitely a good performance idea to avoid redraw processing if it is n...

ceasless

Yes, it is still unclear to me as to why we cannot get a 'device' filter on the midi filter module.

ceasless

Hi nay, were you able to get then working?

ceasless

oli_lab, your modules have been added to the Grove! By the way, I was on Sourceforge checking out Faust when I saw them advertising easy integration with github. So it seems like it will not be a problem to create an official "community add-ons" release out of the Grove when it makes sense to do so....

ceasless

23fx23, yes, that does sound like a good idea! oli_lab, my idea was that only module developers would really be interested in the Grove repository. But then we can create a small release script which will create a 'Grove' add-on that will be uploaded to sensomusic.org. This would keep the unofficial...

ceasless

I think official is a bad idea, to be honest. I mean obviously I believe in keeping things in one place, or I would not do it. But these are user contributions, not official sensomusic releases.. It seems weird to me, to say that trying to collect things which no one bothered to collect before shoul...

ceasless

23fx23, same here meaning they do work? Or don't?

To make sure you are downloading the actual binary, you need to click on the file, and then click 'View raw'. This will download the binary. If you right-click "save as" anything that does not say "raw", you will not be doanloading the binary.

ceasless

nay-seven, the OS X version is working just fine here. I am on 10.10. It is weird.. On mine, the name is listed properly in the browser and in the patch window. Make sure you are downloading the 'raw' version of the file from github. Or download the zip and get the files from there. Anyway these wil...

ceasless

I haven't had a chance to try compiling it yet, but this is now in the Grove as both source and Windows binary

ceasless

Sure thing oli_lab. If you are on github, easiest thing is to fork the project and then send a pull request with your changes.

Or you can upload and send a link and I van add them.

Probably best for you to post those in the grove thread, so things don't get too confused.

ceasless

Wow, 23fx23 that was fast! I have added those binaries to the github repo. Did you make any vcproject files? I could add those as well.

Thanks man!

ceasless

UPDATED: The Grove now has builds for all modules on all platforns. To keep up with the very latest, you can download the Grove as a zip file: https://github.com/ab5tract/hollyhock-grove/archive/master.zip Then you can add the modules from the right bin directory for your OS and (osx, win32, or win6...

ceasless

Hey gercha1, I have finished a two-array version of 'array combine'. I didn't realize the other module existed when I named mine, so it has a different name. If you are on OS X, you should be able to start using it immediately. The module binary file is in the bin/os-x folder on this github page: ht...

ceasless

Hey thomas, I would be really interested to read some further details on how you integrate the two? I find myself inside Bitwig more often than not these days and would love to have HH open an interacting with my project at the same time.

ceasless

If you share the code I will also try to compile

ceasless

hahaha, Well that's great you have evolved your production to make it easier with Mac, as far as beyond Music in your respects. I see that you have some programming background? How are the other application environments or IDE for MAC? Obviously the Sensomusic team uses, so there probably are some ...

ceasless

I could use the 32 bit version but then the 64 bit VSTs won't work. I just removed JBridge. It was causing too many problems, breaking my patches. Guess I'll use the 32 bit version for this plugin. It's not ideal but will have to do for now. Why is this a problem? Is it that difficult to have both ...

ceasless

Ah yes, well those are reasons not to support yet.

ceasless

Not just open minded, but fundamentally open. No patents, no royalties, no reason not to support

ceasless

Impressive work sephult! Do I interpret this correctly as a super beefed up 'split keys' or 'multi mode' setup, but with the entirety of Usine at my fingers?

Pretty freaking cool.

ceasless

Good point -- it would be nice to have clearer error messages in the trace log :( With the member of class thing, essentially you move the declaration of the kick pointer into the class definition, which is stored in the header (.h) file. Apologies if you already know these things, just trying to be...

ceasless

Indeed, it is a conversation that is maybe older than us, even. That said, my point was only that I also did not believe in a "better", but for me the experience has led me to believe. I do not want to come across as a fanboy, only that I was quite skeptical of the "Mac is better for music claims" u...

ceasless

Hey there,

Easier to debug if you share the error

But maybe this is also a case of needing to define it as a private member of the class?

ceasless

Of course, and I feel the same way -- as I mentioned, I never ran anything except for GNU/Linux since BeOS died in the early 2000s until 2013. So I know well the joys of digging deep. But I guess I am old now, and tired of fighting. So Windows had to go (but you are right, it could easily be MOTU's ...

ceasless

Regarding the cost of a Mac.. For a long time I wrote off all the reports of Macs just being "better" in audio. I can say that my experience so far has validated that assertion 100%. Windows is a pile of pain next to OS X. Everything from switching my audio interface on/off (which _must_ be done bef...

ceasless

Hi barabou, Yes I have PXT General. It's a pretty cool script, but for me it does not work well for my imaginary "ultimate Usine" controller. Why? Because it takes over the Push. It does provide the note grid, but then it is only the note grid. So any Usine native grid patches will not work (or at l...

ceasless

Yes, I did start from an example project. The experience was much smoother than my last attempts with the SDK.

You are right that it does not seem to be the missing .xconfig. I will add the build rule and proceed from there. Thanks for your quick response.

ceasless

Interesting that 'Array Combine x3' seems to do what you want, but for 3 arrays.

Why no 'Array Combine'?

I wrote some code which should do what you want, but I ran into issues with the debug mode.

ceasless

I thought I would try the HH 2.0 SDK. It's pretty nice. Thank you for the .xcode files in the examples. I noticed that there is an .xconfig file missing though: Usine_CPP_SDKProj.xcconfig Not sure if this is related to my problem, but.. Setting the Hollyhock 2 executable in the project scheme doesn'...

ceasless

Damn, nevermind the elastik player. It doesn't allow for loading your own content.

A pure Usine solution would be nicer anyway

I just haven't played with the time correction algorithms in Usine much.

ceasless

As far as triggering multiple sections of the grid at once like cells, that you cannot do. This is something I hope to work on soon -- a grid of cells which trigger loops and/or one-shots. It would not be a replacement for the grid, but could allow for an alternative performance surface. The only q...

ceasless

ahs: It will be awesome, without a doubt! Anything grid-like can probably be easily wired into existing grid patches like drakh's APC mini patches. There are already Launchpad versions of both actually. (drakh, I'm saying it again, I love you man!) You mentioned knobs though, so I left the grid cont...

ceasless

That said, drakh has been releasing great stuff for those Akai controllers. A good place to start if you want plug and play.

ceasless

I have the Launch Control XL, it's pretty good. But I didn't realize that Panorama had released the P1 when I bought it. That one looks really slick.

Basically anything at all will work incredibly well with HH, because you can wire it to work however you would like!

ceasless

In this case you could use the Audio Mixer module.

ceasless

A few different ways to set this up. Perhaps the very easiest is to use one rack per input, and then put all four racks into the "Bounce to disk". Hit record and lay out your beat! But if you want it directly into a sampler or looper, you can set up a polyphonic sampler. Set it to four voices and th...

ceasless

ahs, I assume you will find out soon on bedroom producers :) By the way, I got in contact with Novation support about the issues I have with the Ultranova editor inside of HH2 (and HH1). The person I was talking with appeared to be quite excited by what Hollyhock has to offer. So maybe he will share...

ceasless

I think that the MIDI length zero case is still working, otherwise my Sequins 6 patch would be broken. But in fact it works great

ceasless

Maybe use a 'mapper data' module for the settings you want to recover when switching to different patches, and send them to a limiter patch?

ceasless

It seems like the windows tablet as controller is probably a better choice. This is just in terms of having a beefier computer than you can fit into a tablet or laptop. Plus then the tablet/laptop does not need to be very powerful.

ceasless

So good!

ceasless

Okay, that makes sense.

I think a bus incurs 1 bloc of latency. I'm not sure if there's much/any CPU side effect though.

ceasless

oli lab, what is the purpose of the internal busses here?

ceasless

hey drakh, they (very) roughly follow the position order, so you can position one input above another input inside the sub-patch and (sometimes) it will change the order. i think it works best to do that ordering before you ever "leave" the subpatch. in my experience once you "leave", the ordering g...

ceasless

I just got an Ultranova for a very nice price. I'm very much looking forward to using it in Hollyhock, but it crashes really hard and brings down the whole app. I've checked in Studio One, Live, and Bitwig and they all work fine. Tracktion 5 crashes as well though. These kinds of situations are real...

ceasless

There is a MidiMux script in my 'midi on my mind' add-on which may help. If you need more inputs, you can change a single value inside of the script. Just double click and change it to what you want. Check out MidiPlex as well, which gives you the ability to 'mute' any of the inputs. As to the main ...

ceasless

!!!!! Congrats Sensomusic !!!!! I was shocked to see the new forums, because I know that can only mean one thing: Hollyhock 2 is here! The screenshot of the new timeline grid looks so good. I can't wait to see, but it could just be what I've always been 'missing' -- I always end up using Usine more ...

ceasless

This would be so very useful to have.

ceasless

Best to wait for the next version first.

ceasless

Just a heads up that drakh's recent APC mini patches, especially the push-style keyboard one, have restarted my desire to get this patch working. (Sorry fleau, I was just never able to understand the in-scale keyboards you made in Usine 5 :( ). Last night I wired up a "grid monitor" that translates ...

ceasless

Drakh I hope you don't mind when I say that I love you man!

ceasless

Any news on whether 2.0 will have any features that make this unnecessary? I'm just curious about whether I should invest in one of these softwares or not.

ceasless

Regarding stuck notes, does your patch send note offs on its own? Ie,are the stuck notes always happening? Or is it only sometimes? It seems like you could just propagate the note off of the 'controlling' note to all the notes of the chord? Regarding worrying about compatability, frankly I am a bit ...

ceasless

That's true for me, for sure. I'm nervous about doing anything interesting here until the new version drops. Part of that is the secrecy -- it is impossible to know what the changes will be.

ceasless

Sorry to say that this hasn't been possible up until now. I've gotten by with copy-pasting from an editor which doesn't drive me crazy back into the unfortunately difficult Hollyhock editor.. It helps to keep the files in version control (PatchPusher lives on github, for example) and be kind of stri...

ceasless

Glad to hear that my odds and ends have been helpful! I rewrote Sequins so many times... I hope I remember all the lessons I learned in the development of it

Also, great to see you posting again! These forums need more blaakk (as does your soundcloud account! ;P ).

ceasless

it is getting very close to Christmas indeed....

ceasless

carine19, they are keeping it very secret.

It should at the very least have ReWire, since they have been teasing us about it for over a year...

ceasless

I noticed this before as well, and mentioned it. Not sure if I ever got a response about it though.

ceasless

You will need to make individual device patches for any configuration you want. The device patches are global, but you can make a new one for any purpose you want, and they can all talk to the same hardware at the same time (at least unless I am mistaken).

ceasless

Drakh, I'm digging this mix!

ceasless

Seems like there is not much information about how to do it, but lot's of people asking the question. This looked promising: http://new-supercollider-mailing-lists-forums-use-these.2681727.n2.nabble.com/controlling-the-LEDs-on-the-Korg-Nanokontrol2-td7598791.html and here, if you can make sense of t...

ceasless

They've been teasing us mercilessly with all these hints!

All I keep wondering, is how merry will this Christmas be?

ceasless

Sephult, what kind of device are you using as an output? I've heard that mani USB to midi cables have issues with sysex. I hope we can get you sorted, friend.

ceasless

Ah, okay.. glad to hear it is working now though!

ceasless

Yes sysex works fine for me, but I ran into this issue when writing the Push script. http://sensomusic.org/forums/uploads.php?file=default.png This is the MIDI output device, the patch is accessible by double clicking on the device. Here is what it looks like when the sysex is wired correctly: http:...

ceasless

Hey sephult,

Not sure if it helps but you need to connect the sysex transport manually in your MIDI out device. By default sysex does not flow from the Usine output into the hardware output.

ceasless

Hey martignasse, I don't want to distract you from Usine dev (esp. after senso's teasing of HH v2! some details on that would be awesome, but I know you folks like to surprise us). But it is also pretty discouraging to write a module that should work but is broken somehow, in a way that makes sense ...

ceasless

Does it work for you?

ceasless

There are too few tutorials indeed. That's why I jump at the chance to help! Since I know it -- somewhat -- but I am often on the 'wtf' side of interacting with this software and always appreciate a nudge past the darkness. So I try to offer help when I can. As you said, no need for a trigger button...

ceasless

If it is connected through your sound card, then that all sounds correct. If it had its own USB midi then we could expect it to show up under its own name. One thing I just noticed about the patch: you don't have anything wired into the create input. This would be where you connect a trigger. What y...

ceasless

First thing to check is that you have the target MIDI out device included in the rack output section. When first created the rack will usually have the stereo out device down there.

ceasless

I already wrote in my note: DO NOT USE A DEVICE AS A TEMPLATE FOR A NON-DEVICE BUILD TARGET. But now I see that it was even more true than I expected. http://sensomusic.org/forums/uploads.php?file=how-to-setup-a-simple-module-build.png With these build settings, the param pointers are initialized ( ...

ceasless

I also noticed that the output parameters are not set to 0 when I inspect the module before wiring anything into it. It should come with the minimum value set, no? I will also try upgrading my OS and Xcode, if you think that will help? Ah, and I got the debugger running! This is great, it will reall...

ceasless

From UsineDefinitions.h:

The include file should also be in the gist already

Thanks for taking a look!

Unfortunately removing those lines does not address the error. I am still unable to get the length of the array input :( It also didn't work if I explicitly set "return 3;" for 'onGetNumberOfParams' (instead of deleting) ...

Judging from the 'DelayArray' module code, it should be working just fine. However it dies whenever I try to access an event pointer (for example ...

ceasless

Is it possible to use things like std::vector and other STL things with the SDK? I'm getting memory access violations and I'm not sure where to begin.

But now I realized it was being copied into the 'Devices' folder! Whew. So more 'Build' twiddling which sucks, but I've never used Xcode before so that is somewhat to be expected.

ceasless

Thanks fléau, I will take a look!

ceasless

This feature will change forever the use of grids in Usine, in my opinion. Working with arrays of values happens a lot with grids, and so it makes more sense from the grid that the MIDI transform module is not actually 'correcting' but actually 'accessing' the right note for the current key. Let me ...

ceasless

Awesome Blaak! If you want to add any documentation to the wiki, there's actually a pretty cool way to do it. Download your add-on through the HH browser. Then drag it somewhere.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. There is a "scale" listbox which will make sure all notes will be in a specified key. When you play a C or C#, it will play C# for both if you are in the key of C. It's not always two notes mapping into one note, sometimes it is three notes and sometimes one....

ceasless

Unfortunately it would not be much like scripting in Usine. I realize the way I worded it made it sound that way. Programming is a trick of the mind, really. In that way the language isn't as important. I was just looking at the Usine SDK, which is in C++, and I am understanding a lot of it even tho...

ceasless

So no one else has had any issues with grids (or anything else) + midi transforming?

senso, is it difficult to add an integer based input pin combined with a "notes in scale" pin output?

ceasless

For the Push project, I want to make a simple way to map the grid to different scales. I would prefer to do this by writing a script that outputs an array of velocities and then be able to take the changed index of the array and have that correspond directly to the "correct" note in the scale. As fa...

The next thing to check is the manual for the plugin. For instance NI Battery was confusing me until I looked up the specific method of hos...

ceasless

HH can control any parameter that can be 'mapped' in another host. In general this is not a 'midi cc' in the traditional sense. But there are plenty of VSTs that leave out some of their controls from mapping. Either way, you should be able to test this in the demo. Usine will only be able to interac...

Okay, but it is still said to be zero latency on the information page. "Usine add a latency of 1 bloc size. In all cases, the latency added will not exceed a bloc size." Now this is confusing, because I was pretty sure each bus you introduce adds a latency of 1 bloc. But the way it is written in the...

ceasless

This reminds me of the long unanswered forum thread, where we ask what has happened to this goal with the AI and "zero-latency bus calculation". Please sensomusic, everyone here loves your software, but some more transparency is needed in my opinion.

Looking forward to hearing how it turns out!

Hey fleaux, seamus,

Just curious what you guys are up to with Push/Usine, and whether you owuld be willing to share some of it?

I've gotten distracted by a new influx of hardware, but I will be back to working on this soon. But would love to get some inspiration from you both.

ceasless

seamus: Lua is considered an easy language to grasp. not sure about CSound. Lua was also based conceptually on Pascal, so you will also be learning how to script in Usine

ceasless

You can still use 'outs'. Just have one rack that takes all your other racks as inputs. This would be your master rack. The outs in the racks will not go directly into the soundcard if that rack is the input for another rack.

ceasless

Maybe some left/right buttons next to the patch name at the top of the patch window would work? History would be very cool indeed.

ceasless

Of course! Glad to see HH is becoming attractive to v5 users. I think that's an important moment for the new version. I didn't mean it to say "it's been discussed, so shut up", but rather that senso is on it. That way he doesn't have to reply directly, and can stay on it

ceasless

This is something that senso says they are thinking carefully about -- not necessarily this exact thing, but the MIDI routing in HH in general. It always feels like something huge is around the corner, but the updates haven't been too radical (outside of the GUI) recently. I hope that means we are g...

ceasless

Hey Blaakk, I just clicked on your soundcloud link and they said they couldn't find your user name. Thought you might want a heads up. Re: Battery, well, I should really do a video tutorial on Sequins + Battery at some point. It's a really nice piece of software (though the older, green version was....

ceasless

But I assume that's true of anything you rewrite in the gui? Like my metronome that flashes 1,2,3,4 by changing the value of a fader? Or is that drawing done differently somehow? This, I think, is exactly why a color bus or something similar. Basically a module with a dropdown to choose which color...

ceasless

Thanks for the kind words. Patchicus Prime aka Primus Push.. it will be mine indeed. I hope Sequins proves useful to others. I need to make some videos/tutorials about how to use it. And I was never able to get it working with the Preset Manager. I gave it a go (again) the other day and just got fru...

ceasless

I did not see that. I will check my chat notification settings. i connect to be around just in case anyone shows up, and now it turns out i'm ignoring anyone who does? no bueno. It's a good idea not to get too lost in a single instrument with Usine, but also to back out and explore the more 'live to...

ceasless

Thanks for sharing this. I'm still pretty new to the world of looping, so I can use all the help I can get.

BTW, still checking the add-ons for those crazy robot patches and RC51

ceasless

You could do this using the module which gives you the current polyphonic voice, and then use the 'toggle amongst many' module from my "midi on my mind" add-on to toggle on and off the relevant busses based on the voice number.

ceasless

I've found sub-patches save a lot of heartache and frustration in the long run. I'm sure they also run faster, as Usine can optimize them away as their structure is predefined and (more importantly) invariant. It also means that if I've messed up something, I only have to change it once. Getting a h...

ceasless

And couldn't usine itself check to see that it has crashed, and then either automatically do the process described by nay, or present a dialog.box asking whether to back up or not?

ceasless

Then again, this Poly Bot is also definitely "making art with Usine", and in a very cool way. I would really love to hear what it sounds like. Your second picture wasn't displaying last time I looked, but now it is and -- wow! That workspace looks like a ton of fun. I hope you will be making all the...

ceasless

These poly bots are awesome

Will you make them available as add-ons? Speaking of which, probably another topic better suited to the 'add ons' section.

ceasless

Heya blaakk, I recognize your name from Bluewater VST (though I've never introduced myself over there, will have to do that soon). Let's work on convincing Brent that he should be doing all his videos in Usine instead of Ableton... ;) It's awesome to see some cross-pollination happening. Let me know...

ceasless

Did that make any sense? ;) Having programmed primarily in dynamic languages, it took some time to wrap my head around the much more... stoic? .. nature of Pascal. (Still crossing fingers for an embedded Lua interpreter, hopefully it happens at some point or they might fall off.) What's happening mu...

ceasless

I would try using another array and swapping between the two, leaving out whichever elements you don't want to keep.

ceasless

The sooner we can configure this ourselves, the sooner I can move to new shade of purple

But seriously, this would be a really good feature and I'm sure some lovely themes will come as a result.

ceasless

I think usine currently doesn't have a sense of 'UI colors that won't change' and other kinds of colors. It struck me as weird too, when senso first told me that color flux is CPU intensive, but if you think about it color is something that needs real time priority. If a button is clicked, you need ...

ceasless

Speaking of soundcloud, if you are ahonoe over there then I like your stuff.

How is your chord manager coming along?

ceasless

Even if it is only a "remote" for a real instance of Usine, this would be so insanely killer. Ideally you could patch and do all that lovely stuff through the remote interface. The reason I'm so excited about this is it basically removes any need to create TouchOSC/Lemur stuff -- you already get tha...

ceasless

Of those tracks, only the Stolen Knoxlies rough demo uses Sequins. I had that driving my LXR . Much nicer for dealing with velocity than the (very powerful but) tedious step locks in the hardware, but the current Sequins was patched with driving Battery and other VSTs in mind (EXD-80 is a must try i...

ceasless

Indeed, it's maybe the single most important piece of my Sequins 6 add-on. You can read about it here , the documentation is for a slightly older, 4-lane version, but it's basically the same. You can use the 'sequins core' patch in any polyphony amount you want. Let me know if you enjoy it! [Edit: T...

ceasless

Writing my Pattern Store script I learned a lot about how to handle arrays. In a word: delicately :cool: The best example may be the 'tSteps' and 'stepBank'. Giving these strict values through constants gives Usine the chance to anticipate the maximum impact of the script. Try giving yourself a maxi...

ceasless

I think it is because you are setting the array length of chordsMdat, but the length of tnMdat is never set. In my experience with multidimensional arrays, usually at least the "first dimension" of the array has a defined length, but you could play arround with setting the length of tnMdat before se...

ceasless

Thanks man! Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

ceasless

Can you share a picture to save the world even more head scratching?

ceasless

i'm glad the attempt could travel somewhere, if it wasn't directly to Help

ceasless

This shows what I mean. Not sure if it helps in your case (haven't done any OSC yet), but I hope so. BTW I don't think the bus is strictly necessary for the 'array of numbers' effect. The text pins make the trace show up as string but it is the same data. (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). B...

ceasless

If you send to a databus it may come in the correct format for the receive pin. I believe usine passes strings as arrays of numbers, so maybe that is what is expected.

ceasless

Using a bus perhaps? Just have one text field going into a bus and read from that bus for every module? Latency will be one bloc size though

ceasless

Another Sunday, another update. We are really starting to get somewhere, now that LCD text is working! Just wire up 68 characters of text and it will be shown on your Push. Between this and the ability to understand the knobs that I added last week, you've got a whole lot of opportunity already. The...

ceasless

I think sometimes wires get switched during the upgrades. This can be really tough to debug in complicated patches. (This is yet another report of upgrades breaking workspaces). Maybe it has something to do with internal module changes and the index number of the param changes, causing the wire to b...

ceasless

Back again with an updated version. I'm hosting the script at github: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ab5tract/PatchPusher/master/Push%20Core.fastscriptr For now we will call it 'Patch Pusher'. I'm hoping to get lots of people addicted to patching with this one, so it seems fitting. The changes ar...

ceasless

I think he means the Matrix patches, specifically "matrix of audio". I've never used it myself yet, but I believe it allows you to route different audio signals (represented by columns?) to different audio paths/outputs (represented by rows?). Hopefully someone who knows can provide a few more detai...

Code: Select all

      for l&#58;=0 to Length&#40;string1&#41;
      do begin
        c &#58;=  string1&#91;l&#93;;
        lcd&#91;0&#93;&#91;l&#93; &#58;= ord&#40; c &#41;;

Switching 'c' back to type char and and accessing the string as an array worked.

ceasless

for l:=0 to Length(string1) do begin c := copy(string1, l, 1); k := ord( c ); The above code throws an 'Invalid cast' compile time error. 1) k is defined as an integer as in the first example. 2) c was first a char, but the StrGet function seems not to be defined so I switch...

ceasless

This looks great, thanks for sharing! Maybe it's an idea to upload it as an add on so that is super easy for everyone to try?

ceasless

Yes, that should work! I will give it a try as soon as possible and let you know.

ceasless

I'm working on getting text input to display on the Push LCD. I was hoping it would be easy, but I've already hit a bit of a wall: k := strtoint('s'); writeln('s is '+inttostr( k )); That results in an error: Error : ''s'' is not a valid integer value How can I get back the A...

ceasless

Thanks fléau! Unfortunately I'm still a bit confused by the workspace, but I think this is probably more me not understanding Usine 5 than anything wrong with your patches. Also I'm relatively new to grid-based sequencing, so my imagination is probably not working as well as it could. I can understa...

ceasless

Oops. I didn't even see that the manual was updated. Thanks nay.

ceasless

You might try experimenting with MIDI buses directly in your MIDI device patches. This should keep them separated. There is an 'Additional midi input' module, which senso says is on it's way. Not for documentation, but for 'midi 2', 'midi 3', etc. Rather than the 'midi 1' that we are stuck with no m...

ceasless

Yes, talking about fastscript for sure.

So no matter how complex the input streams get, callbacks are called one at a time? What if all params receive input at exactly the same time?

I was imagining it to have a more asynchronous nature.

Anyway, thanks for the clarification!

ceasless

Your modules should sync to master automatically. I've personally never needed to use a synchro module, just selecting the synchro input with a combo is has always been enough. I haven't gotten too deep with exotic timings yet. If you check out my Sequins add-on, it has a bunch of sequencer lanes, s...

ceasless

Thanks for trying with Hollyhock, too bad it didn't work out yet. Give me some time to set up these scripts and then maybe it will flow nicer if you want to try again. Taking a look at the the 5.8 patch, I see a lot of impressive stuff happening. I'm going to have to digest it a little bit before I ...

ceasless

You should 'push' the trigger yourself, I think ;-) It shouldn't be too hard to beat Ableton at integration. Their's is pretty bad, even with their own stuff (and quite worse with third parties). I'm demoing the 9 Suite, but it's not all that compelling versus what I can do in Intro with regards to ...

ceasless

Today I'm happy to present you with an updated fastscript file. Today's version adds outputs for all the 'touch rotaries', by which I mean the note values which are produced when the rotaries are touched. I'm providing them as 0 and 1 on individual outputs as I hope this will help reduce the time it...

ceasless

For each case statement block, do I need to provide unique counters and temporary variables (like midiTmp, for holding the current tMidi when iterating over the midi array, or throwaway counters like m,x,p etc) ? I've been playing it safe so far and creating new counters and temp variables for each ...

ceasless

It's hard not to feel overwhelmed by Usine when just starting out. I still have to bend my mind into interesting new shapes every time I patch something, but the initial learning curve can be tough indeed. My advice is stick with it and don't be afraid to tear it all down and start again. Some notes...

ceasless

did it work out for you parityflux?

i hadn't thought of it until reading it in another thread, but you can also use the midi transform module and turn the gain down when the stop button is pressed. this would be an easy way to use an envelope -- just plug it into the gain input.

ceasless

I figured out a way to do the kind of dynamic dispatch that I want without a hash type structure. Pretty obvious when I think about it:

Code: Select all

curIndex &#58;= N - parameterArray&#91;0&#93;;
// do something with parameterArray&#91;curIndex&#93;

But still... hashes are cool.

ceasless

yup, 'no change' keeps the original midi channel that's specified in the midi packet.

ceasless

Hi senso, Is it possible to add support for the Dictionary Pascal data type? It's really difficult to have to go back to looping through an entire array to find the element which matches what you are looking for. For instance I want to be able to get the correct param out of a data structure by pass...

ceasless

Considering that you want to be able to address multiple racks in a flexible way, i'm not sure midi channels would easily give you what you want even if there were an easy option at a rack level (which is not until we have the 'number of current rack' patch). You still want to control individual rac...

ceasless

Good points juanjo. Can't really argue with any of that. I've never used ReWire but I was imagining using as a way to quickly get loops and ideas recorded out of my instruments in Usine and into a DAW. Saving to disk does basically the same, but it breaks the workflow a bit. I think your point about...

ceasless

After looking at the Youtube videos a few times I bought the PXT Live scripts. Still not in love with Live but I think better of it than I did before. 90% of the time I'm interacting with the Push and these scripts bring a lot more functionality to that interaction. One thing I'm definitely inspired...

ceasless

+1000 for senso's vision :) About the chat, as I said I login automatically each time. It's not that I don't like the feature, at first it seemed to promise a place to ask questions, etc. Usine can be tough sometimes. But since no one else is ever there... Anyway, if you have a question about script...

ceasless

Indeed, it's not a very fun patch at the moment, it was just a quick way to highlight the color selection options I'd coded together. Feel free to change it around, etc. I'm hoping to have a "scrolling text display" demo patch sometime soon. Thanks for the updated Hollyhock workspace, and very much ...
