Thanks for the fast reply, will check it out.

Still wondering though, I'm thinking "Show all params" should actually show ALL params or ?

nofish

I'm trying to assign (connect) knobs to a VSTi called Deckadance (demo can be downloaded here ) which has lots of parameters. I know of two ways in Usine to do this: 1. Move the element on the VST GUI then the parameter inlet should show up in the patch edit window. This works for almost all paramet...

Thanks ethnix73. I have looked into that thread. Bear with me, my Usine knowledge is a bit rusted currently as I haven't done anything with it for quite some time.

I'm wondering if I can use Usine to morph between 2 VST presets from a synth.

Say I have preset A and preset B and then a slider which let's me gradually transition between the two.

possible ?

Cool trick, thanks. (Although I don't understand the logic behind it...) Uhm wait, how do you learn directly on the preset manager without a button ? I thought maybe rightclick on the preset list but Midi learn is greyed out. edit: Ah got it. Never noticed that the PM shows up in remote. Yes, got it...

Hi,

thanks for confirmation and the workaround.

I agree, recall preset should do what it's called even if it's the same preset.

Hi thanks for quick reply. I've connected a button to "recall 0" on the preset manager and learned that button. But regardless of this, even if I press the recall 0 button on the PM it doesn't work repeatedly. Only if I switch to preset 1 and then back to preset 0 it gets recalled. here's a screenca...

I do it using the Midi channeliser found here. http://www.niallmoody.com/ndcplugs/ndcmidi.htm If you connect a slider or similar to the Midi channel inlet you can store it in the conductor.

Hi,

Useful stuff.
Thanks a lot.

Just an idea: As far as I've understood you're doing the preset changes via a program change command from your Midi keyboard ? If so, maybe your Midi keyboard is slow sending out the program changes ? (mine is sometimes, taking 1 or 2 seconds to send out, Evolution MK-416C). To test this you could (...

Thanks Senso, that works.

But I thought maybe we could have a "lock IB mode" for avoiding stuff like this, because when I'm playing live using the IB I don't want to (accidently) jump back to grid mode in any case.

Not sure if it's a bug or intended behaviour...

I also was wondering about this. I know it's possible for the conductor, but I somehow overlooked it also works for the PM.

Just happened to watch the Audiomulch2.0 patcher screencast (at bottom of page):

Sorry for upping this old thread. (Couldn't find a way to send a private message in this forum, is there ?)

Just want to say a big thanks again to bmoussay for his keyrange script. Had a gig with Usine lately and it worked flawlessly. (Basically my Usine setup relies on this script).

nofish

Recently I experienced some crashes when patching (NOT Usine's fault, it's a computer problem). That's why I save the workspace quite often. I have realised that when Usine crashes during patching (not exit properly) and I reload the workspace, I don't get back my latest state, but instead the works...

I have also thought about that. Problem is the keyboard seems to send unwanted CC messages on all channel, so if they are happen to be the same as my remote assigned CCs for the BCR they get messed up. And it seems randomly, so I can't choose different CCs for the remote. I know, not Usine's fault, ...

My stupid Midi keyboard is a bit broken and sometimes sends CC data by itself :( In the patches where I only play VSTi's this isn't a problem since I can filter them out.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. May sound strange but I was going more for a keyrange filter I could use on any track rather than a keysplit (easier to get my head around + no need for busses).

Yes, unless I did something wrong I'm quite sure.
