Sorry we didn't catch this earlier. </p> <p>My <em>guess</em> at the moment is that this has more to do with the nature of Scapes and Buffeater's engine needing realtime in order to function properly. For example, if you test automating parameters that aren't related to the buffer (ie. the instruments internal Vol, Pan cells etc.) things work as expected and bounce with the automation. </p> <p>That said, we will look into this further and see if there is a way to fix things, but in the meantime you can use a <em>realtime</em> bounce (no bounce in place) and it should work fine. Yes, it takes more time (10-15 seconds once you have the process down), but it is a solution. </p> <p><strong>Work-around (old-skool bounce in place with key commands for laptop) :</strong><br /> 1. Select region and choose Set Locators by Regions (=)<br /> 2. Solo Region (s)<br /> 3. File bounce (command-b) and check 'add to bin', then bounce.<br /> 4. Create a new audio track (opt-command-n)<br /> 5. Add file from bin to track (command semi-colon)<br /> 4. Choose 'Audio&gt;Move to Original Record Position' to spot the region to its original location.<br /> (option-shift command r). </p> http://twistedtools.com/forums/topic/colorflex-editor#post-1139 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:42:04 +0000 Truck Driver 1139@http://twistedtools.com/forums/ <p>A number box that lets you set the value for the last touched grid square would be ideal. </p> <p>0-100 is a bit silly for IC SEND because what if your instrument is an oscillator frequency and you want it to go from 114 on one step to 2032 (exactly) on the next for interesting FM sequencing? </p> <p>When I got colorflex I may have been blinded by its novelty but now I am struggling to find any use for it as my interest in midi matured a little, because its level of precision is very limited and so it feels more like a toy than a tool but with these changes it could be one of the best sequencing tools to exist. </p> http://twistedtools.com/forums/topic/colorflex-editor#post-1138 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:49:07 +0000 Josh 1138@http://twistedtools.com/forums/ <p>I'm not sure I understand completely.

In a nutshell, those particular sounds are heavily processed intentionally, but there are other sounds in the 'Organic' folder that aren't. </p> <blockquote><p>That's right. Those sounds were heavily processed and I found use for such sounds while doing this <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&amp;v=o_-ypR1yYa4#t=89s'>GDC trailer</a> last year, for when the helmets and some plastic parts are being smashed or the guy is thrown in the glass. It was intended to be like that, powerful and extremely violent and that's why I went overboard with them.</p> <p>The waveform looks very compressed at the point it looks almost clipping, that's because the low levels were brought up at extreme values but everything shouldn't go over -0.2dB FS. The Organic category contains some non processed sounds with short transients that can be used with your own processing chain to achieve the effect you're looking for.</p> <p>Also, we knew about the difference of level between the most quiet sounds and the over processed ones in Transform and we tried our best using the EBU R128 standard to auto gain all the assets in order to have a same overall loudness. Unfortunately, the technology wasn't ready at that time and the developers were still working on their applications while we were working on Transform. I helped to develop <a href='http://r128gain.sourceforge.net/'>R128GAIN</a> as well as <a href='Grimm'>Grimm Audio's LevelOne</a> but both applications presented some major bugs so we decided to abandon the idea of batch processing all the assets. I really apologize for not setting my levels properly early enough during the production of Transform, I made this mistake once and it won't happen again. Regarding EBU R128, many professionals of the industry are still debating about the consequences of doing such treatments that would affect the dynamics. </p></blockquote> http://twistedtools.com/forums/topic/how-to-midi-learn-track-automation-bounce-in-place-with-scapes-and-logic-daw#post-1136 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:56:49 +0000 terra4m 1136@http://twistedtools.com/forums/ <p>ABOVE CONTINUED............. </p> <p>Just found that bouncing Audio within Rolodecks using exactly the same technique WORKS (This records the midi edits/I have FX included in my audio Bounce).</p> <p>Bouncing with Buffeater in the same manner - Still only the original Audio!<br /> (Does not include the Midi edits, so I only get the original audio &amp; no FX!)</p> <p>SO IS IT ME OR IS IT YOU GUYS??????????? </p> http://twistedtools.com/forums/topic/how-to-midi-learn-track-automation-bounce-in-place-with-scapes-and-logic-daw#post-1135 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 04:22:00 +0000 terra4m 1135@http://twistedtools.com/forums/ <p>I could do with more info on this too........</p> <p>I can bounce audio no problem, however I can't for some reason bounce the automation from Midi Key presses???????

I'm not sure why Rolodecks isn't working for you. Can you elaborate on the exact problem? </p> <p><strong>To answer your other questions:</strong></p> <p>OSC is a complex topic and MIDI out on the iPad for a lot of controller apps is relatively new or simply doesn't exist. Most of our templates were originally developed when OSC was really the only viable option.</p> <p>You can't use control templates that send OSC to control a plugin inside Ableton without first translating the OSC into MIDI, using a converter app (like Twisted KP).</p> <p>However, Twisted KP is just for converting Konkreet Labs Performer templates to MIDI. It does NOT generate any sound on its own. It simply takes incoming OSC messages from Performer and converts them in an intuitive, quick and efficient way.</p> <p>You can modify Twisted KP to work with any OSC source (Lemur iPad, etc), though it really isn't meant for that and takes a fair amount of work. </p> <p>You can also use Osculator to convert messages (many people go this route). <a href='http://www.osculator.net/'>http://www.osculator.net/</a></p> <p>Reaktor's User Library also has some tools for OSC conversion you might find useful.</p> <p><em>TouchOSC: </em> Most of our templates were made with the legacy version of TouchOSC (except for MP16c, comes with TRANSFORM and supports MIDI). You can modify the TouchOSC files on your own to support MIDI out with a bit of work to get a decent MIDI version, though some controls won't transfer easily to MIDI and some things will require modifications to our Reaktor ensembles. </p> <p>In the future, we hope to convert TouchOSC templates to MIDI for all our software, though this may not happen for some time and may likely be part of a paid update. No promises there though.</p> <p><em>Lemur iPad: </em> </p> <p>While Lemur iPad does support MIDI out, our Lemur template for Scapes is a port from an old version designed on the original hardware Lemur. It doesn't support MIDI out and getting it to do so would require some serious modifications to both the template and our ensemble. Both are not minor and would take some time and expertise.</p> <p><em>Konkreet Labs Performer </em><br /> Currently only supports OSC. Best solution is to use our Twisted KP application to convert the messages as I mentioned earlier. </p> http://twistedtools.com/forums/topic/scapes-root-note#post-1121 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:16:34 +0000 sonictwist 1121@http://twistedtools.com/forums/ <p>Pitch root/transpose settings depend on builder's implementation of pitch logic.</p> <p>For scapes, Transpose should be always zero, and Root = sample number. </p>
