Simon, thanks for the information. I have no programming practice since more than ten years. I think I have to relearn everything - and it seems I forgot almost everything... but my focus should be on learning music related things for the first :-) I guess via macro in Notepad++ I could copy the fil...

magickz

Hi Nay-Seven, thank you. I understand. Of course, Usine can store all patches, and it does it well. The only advantage of FXP/FXB would be the possibility to share the files with friends who are working in other DAWs. And it would be more elegant if the patches all have unique names in the preset br...

Before I found this thread, I posted a related question here: http://www.sensomusic.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=5652 And I am still searching for a solution. But, maybe here are some useful hints: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=277776 The "Minihost" that you can download from that for...

Hi. Belated happy new year to everybody. I used Usine to create around one hundred patches (fxp) for the OBXd plugin, and now I wonder how I can transport these into one single bank (fxb). Also, it seems that all presets have the same preset name, regardless of their filename. Is there a way to mana...

Today Usine became my cover art... :lol: https://soundcloud.com/magickz In some of my uploads Usine is involved, sometimes not exclusively (sometimes I try to make it louder for Soundcloud with Reaper). In the future I will add "powered by sensomusic usine" in the description text if applicable. For...

magickz

That is a pity. The whole year I postponed to get the lifetime licence... today I realize it is gone

:rolleyes: c'est la vie

magickz

Btw., you can also convert audio to YouTube-video (with a static image) with the VLC media player. https://www.vlchelp.com/add-logo-waterm ... ideos-vlc/

magickz

Gercha1, that is damn cool. I never expected video games to become so interesting again... Thanks for the info.

Very inspiring to watch your videos! May I ask how you realized this scene in the "foSolo" video?

Are you using a webcam as an input device? Or how?

magickz

That sounds pretty cool, sm_jamieson, but I must admit last year I bought a 27" screen without touch functionality. And I saw now that the touch screens became much more affordable recently. I guess driven by Windows10 the prices will drop even more. "Do you basically want to map computer keys to mi...

magickz

Hi Senso, I can confirm that this was the solution. Great! Thank you.

My friend plays the Theremin now

Have a great evening. Martin

P.S. He never saw something like Usine before. So I demonstrated it and we played with Usine the whole afternoon and evening. My friend is totally amazed...

magickz

Hi, I wanted to show my friend how cool Usine is with Leapmotion.

The theremin patch from the demo and from the library both make Usine crash when the first note is played.

Of course there is no problem to simulate it with some VST. And all other leap patches work really great.

magickz

I guess I have to learn C++ to understand it

magickz

OMG! Falling in love ...

Thanks for sharing.

magickz

Hi, I didn't find an information about this. But, possibly I overlooked something in the forum or wiki. I am searching for an alternative way to record midi notes on the piano roll without using the mouse or an external midi keyboard. Is there some solution integrated in Usine to do it with the comp...

magickz

Hello, I'm using this synth which is mainly controlled by Usine (a lot of fun). The preset are organized with program numbers and banks. When i'm using the creat midi message module, i can change the program numbers using the program change option. But I didn't find a way of changing the bank numbe...

magickz

Now I am trying the same with my Novation Nova and DSI Mopho. Actually I try to rebuild these: NOVA Control VST: http://graywolf2004.net/wp/?page_id=21 (32 bit only, with some glitches in the interface, I want to run it in Usine 64 bit) MOPHO Sound Editor: http://www.soundtower.com/mopho/ (for my ta...

I tried to find information about the system requirements. I only found some information about system requirements here on this German wiki page: http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki/doku.php?id=de:manual:lesson00 Is this information still valid for Hollyhock II? I ask because I got an older Acer Veriton ...

magickz

Hi Ozzidelic, it is another topic, but - besides the gain - did you also add some kind of patch in the rack that transports the signal from the rack input to the rack output? For example you could drag the EQ, a filter or something else from the usine library into your rack to test it. example: http...

magickz

Interestingly enough, after playing with Usine for a while, suddenly the same problem reoccured. Multiple reboots of my PC didn't work. I had to uninstall Avira and Spybot S&D to get this error message fixed... Let's see how it works now with the defender. (if I could only trust Microsoft'S solution...

magickz

Not sure if this belongs here: in the graphics design world Wacom Cintiq seems to be one of the best pressure sensitive touch/pen displays for digital painting, photo retouching and so on. It is not cheap. Or should I say: not affordable. But they have some competitors with more affordable prices an...

magickz

Hello Tom, thank you. I agree with you about Avira. I used it already for a decade or longer without any trouble. Now I uninstalled it. I also read some good reviews about Comodo, so I gave it a try. To be honest I had all kinds of problems with almost every thirdparty software firewall that I ever ...

magickz

Hello Nay-Seven, last night I uninstalled Comodo Firewall and Avira Anti-Virus - after I restarted my PC, the problem seemed to be disappeared. I am now only using the Windows standard protection and I guess that it also fine for me. I must say, I only made 1 test. The second test will follow this e...

magickz

The weird thing is, when I am connected to the internet, I get the same messages back. When I disconnect from the internet, I can launch the application without resource problem or security warning. In the next days I will reset my firewall and anti-virus software back to Windows defaults to see if ...

magickz

questions answered, problem solved .... and became platinum member again

magickz

Hello Nay-Seven. That was the solution... I restarted my PC - now I can confirm that I can start Usine Holyhock 1, and Hollyhock II without a problem, and the "security warning" from the anti-virus software has gone. The first demo (01.grid) also works fine. I guess the system was already too busy a...

magickz

Thank you, Sephult. You are right. The download of Hollyhock 1 seems to be a personalized version (with my username in the zip file name). But unfortunately it also cannot run on this PC. "not enough system resources to run the service"... :( Here's my system configuration: http://www.sensomusic.com...

magickz

Hi all, I purchased Usine Hollyhock last year, but unfortunately lost the installation files when my computer broke. Now I have a new PC and a little bit more time, so I want to try to install it again. I wonder where I can download the old version that was still part of my Platinum membership, and ...

magickz

so far I understand your question, Usine requires an ASIO compatible audio interface, that's why I bought the external audio interface Focusrite Scarlett for my all-in-one PC... you can also try if ASIO4ALL works with your onboard soundcard. (asio4all.com)

magickz

for now I have found this solution, that does almost everything that I need (audio + midi) : http://www.sensomusic.com/forums/viewto ... 354#p30354

I'll try that for the next days to find out how well it works.

magickz

@Caco: According to the VSTforx developer, the latency is around 1 block size or buffer size. Furthermore he explains, if the sequencers are running for example with 44100 hz and a buffer size of 512, the signal needs 512 Samples (ca. 0.01 ms) to arrive at the receiver. Is this information sufficien...

magickz

almost like a human sequencer...

it's quite beautiful.

magickz

Sometimes I wish for my old eyes a better readability in the patching window. Maybe it would help to have a zoom function like everywhere else in Usine, and white text color on the rather dark colored modules. Or maybe slightly brighter background colors.

magickz

My first intuition that I had when I saw the grid was a panel that I knew from Renoise. I think it would be nice to have a kind of drag and drop to rearrange the lines in the grid, and ctrl+drag to copy a line. Another feature from Renoise that could be useful for Usine's grid, is muting a rack temp...

magickz

Thanks for the replies Nay-Seven, sometimes I used Loopbe to control a standalone synthesizer software with a standalone sequencer. I think that works well for midi data. Oh, Clearscreen! :) Previously I just thought that OSC is that software on my Nexus7 that never works without WLAN. But, now I ju...

magickz

Blaakk, if you are still interested in this, I want to let you know that I believe the ReaStream plugin that I just discovered could be a much more simple (and free) solution... but not sure yet. I asked in the Reaper forum for some better instructions how it can be used, and about how to measure la...

magickz

avec plaisir

magickz

merci bien

magickz

Hello Nay-Seven, I want to confirm that the latest update solves this issue with the B-Step Sequencer successfully. Thank you very much! That is very great. And I begin to love the Usine features more and more the more I understand how to make my patches. Now I can use them in combination :) Edit: I...

magickz

aha. that sounds good. thanks for the hint. I will search the manual for the snap-to-grid feature.

magickz

Hi. Since Usine is portable, I just wonder if that would be possible to run two instances of Usine (for example one 64 bit version and one 32 bit version) at the same time and let them exchange data via the same bus?

magickz

Maybe I am too spoiled. I miss a kind of magnetic grid, layers and alignment function, and the possibility to move a whole group of elements a few pixels to another place, without touching each of them separately :) but, maybe I still have to discover it. when using the mouse to move an object, some...

magickz

Blaakk , you are a masterful interface designer :) I already wondered how precisely you place everything in the Juicy loopers. I could do that with CSS or whatever, but in Usine I still did not figure out how to do that in a quick and easy way. But, there seems to be a problem with your soundcloud. ...

magickz

I miss Thailand... Where can I find your video?

magickz

I am glad that I guessed right. This way I can also learn from you how an old school musician would think. I am still kindergarden :D At the moment I am still in a stage that I can barely read a score or count til four without stuttering. But one day it will work . I consider visiting the old Berlin...

magickz

Though I do not understand everything... I believe the grid already meets half of your requirements. (see the manuals-wiki, there is a section about "the grid" - http://www.sensomusic.com/wiki2/ ) "More powerful than a sequencer or an audio tracker, Usine has an integrated Grid to organize your live...

magickz

In Reaper you add an FX, and find it in the JS category. In Usine you load the ReaJS plugin and find pink and white noise there... Oh, and I just discovered the "oscillator" module in the Usine patching system. It can also produce some noise. :) maybe that's even easier for you... and more elegant t...

magickz

Mobius is available in both versions, 32 and 64 bit . At least they write it on their download page. oh, wait... that's confusing. In the KVR directory and on the download page it is declared as 32 and 64 bit. And in the installation manual you can read: " It is not a native 64-bit application but i...

magickz

interesting project

magickz

thanks, Xpir. I also think that JBridge is clunky, but some people experience it as a reliable solution. So, I guess the results depend on the environment where it is installed. I think it is tricky to deal with 32 and 64 bit plugins. :) I have commercial plugins that are not available in 64 bit, an...

magickz

what is the meaning of the abbreviation mda ?

magickz

And I begin to like "on activation"... After pressing play it first displays and then hides the VSTi. The next time it will be displayed for the second time. http://www.sensomusic.com/forums/uploads.php?file=onoff.JPG The next times you hide and display it manually triggered by pressing the button a...

magickz

:D Hey Loopy. I am sorry, I have no experience at all... and now I read about the clicking and synching for the first time. :) I thought the Mobius documentation looks so complex. Maybe out of my laziness I should use Regen to get a first idea about the technique of looping. :cool: Very Cool. Initia...

magickz

seamus, if it is a solution for you to open the plugin, close it and open it again, then I just found out how you can automate this procedure with one button, one immediate and two delayed triggers :) http://www.sensomusic.com/forums/uploads.php?file=onoffon.JPG In this case I do not have a JBridge ...

magickz

It seems I continue having some glitches with the interfaces of some 32 bit plugins. For example yesterday I purchased the two amazing plugins DIZZTROY and REPEAT X from Z3 audiolabs. From time to time I can use the knobs, suddenly it stops responding to my mouse input. http://www.z3-audiolabs.com/r...

magickz

Seamus, I just saw on the KVR developer challenge website there is also a new candidate for you: http://www.kvraudio.com/product/regen-by-tonecarver

magickz

Hi Pianoscope. I can reproduce it. I am still new to Usine, and do not know if there is a more elegant way, but at least I found a way how to display the button when one of the following conditions is met. "when the on switch of the Play ON/OFF section passes from off to on, - when the patch is sele...

magickz

hm... it seems this looping thing could be interesting for me :-) I have found some other plugins with some interface issues. For example there is a great addon by Graywolf, developer of BlueArp, that allows me to control every aspect of my Nova hardware synthesizer ( http://www.graywolf2004.net/my-...

magickz

Another important aspect is, that I only used the 64 bit versions of the vstforx and remote channel sender plugins; and Usine as well as Reaper in their 64 bit versions. If I am not wrong that's technically not possible to connect vstforx 32 bit to the 64 bit sender and vice versa.

magickz

Hi Caco, I cannot say much about latency. I would not even know how to measure it. But, maybe you can tell me the trick.

magickz

Thanks Nay-Seven. Yes, I am frequently testing all kind of plugins. I'll try that, too.
C: is the only volume that I can use for now - so, that must work. Otherwise it will be on an external hard drive which sounds not like a good idea for me

magickz

I guess I should follow Nay-Seven's suggestion and start downloading all 32 bit versions of my plugins today. I wonder what is the best practice and want to ask other users how you do it? Keeping both versions in two separate VST directories, and only scan the 32 bit directory for Usine (32 bit)? Or...

magickz

oh, I am just lazy and only have a limited spare time for making musical experiments. I was used to use both - 64 and 32 bit versions - in the same DAW. Reaper and Renoise both can do it. Whenever I saw the option to download a 64 bit version I did it before I started with Usine - and I never downlo...

magickz

I had the problem of using all my VST plugins in Usine as some of them are 64bit versions, and some are only 32bit versions. I tried something with Bidule, but not successfully. Then I found a forum post that suggested using JBridge - also does not work for me without any complications. But, using V...

magickz

I tried the Jbridge demo yesterday, and in my case it seems not to work at all. None of the plugins prepared by Jbridge is being recognized. That is too sad to realize that Usine does not support 50% of my plugins natively as they are only 32 bit. :-| Now, for almost one week I tried to find a simpl...

magickz

Thanks, Sephult. I think it was caused by LoopBe, because I forgot to disable the setting "receive time clock" - though I have no idea at all from where LoopBe should take the timing information if no other music related software is running, and I cannot reproduce this behavior for now.

magickz

Thank you Sephult. Hm. That's weird. There is no master running. But, I deactivated all midi controllers in the devices panel and in the system settings (currently they are all in the drawer and only a midi keyboard controller M-Audio Oxygen is connected), and I deactivated LoopBe. So far I know, th...

magickz

I am still new to Usine and maybe it is still allowed to ask a stupid question: :/ I do not really understand why it always changes the speed and jumps to 429bpm during playback, and I wonder how to control this behavior or how to set the speed for example to 120bpm when I want to use the Piano Roll...

magickz

Thanks a lot!

I must say, after playing around with Hollyhock for a few days, and working through some chapters in the manual, it becomes quite addictive - and a great modular environment for my favorite modular synth.

magickz

Hello Nay-Seven, thanks for the answer. I guess that is the reason. It is not a demo version. On the KVR website I can read their specification: "MIDI Clock master (up to 400 BPM) or slave (standalone)." So, I also asked on the Monoplugs forum for their advice. As soon as I know a solution I'll repo...

magickz

Hello all. I am still very new to Usine. Just purchased it yesterday. One of the my tries was to run my favorite VST plugins in Usine. I like to play with all kinds of sequencers, for example the Sequencer Megababy plugin from Reaper which can be downloaded for free with their free plugin collection...

magickz

Hello Sephult, if you want to transfer audio from an external audio software into usine, it might work with VSTFORX and the VSTFORX Remote Channel Sender plugin. I just tested it successfully with another daw and a standalone synthesizer which can load plugins. It is quite easy to use and available ...
