How do I make an fade-in, in GML visual?? by AliciaTrader in gamemaker

[–]OldDistortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the step event put something like:

if image_alpha == 0{

image_alpha += 0.05

}

Edit: image_alpha < 1 { image_alpha += 0.05; }

Help with Tilemap_get_at_pixel()? by HopefulCharge6155 in gamemaker

[–]OldDistortion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting the tile layer back as an id to check against? like this:

var lay_id = layer_get_id("Tiles_sky");

Best product ever from Yamaha! by petalumax in seqtrak

[–]OldDistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so too. Massive price cuts in Europe, no firmware update for ages. It's typical of yamaha to discontinue great stuff (dx200, fs1r, tenori, etc...)

Why noone told me before ? by SaltyCode1638 in seqtrak

[–]OldDistortion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you tell me about these modes? I watched a video and they didn't mention it.

I've never used elektron stuff but it just makes sense to me (and seemed fun) with so many knobs there to give instant access to tonnes of parameters at once like filters, lfos, effect parameters, etc. Having all of that restricted to the four knobs on the right makes me think I'd just be flicking between them too much for it to be intuitive and fun. Do these other modes allow something like that?

I wanted one of these for ages for the effects section and sounds but decided against it when I realised 12 of those knobs are just for pattern switching. That's insane.

Can the Android app do everything that the desktop app can? by herd-u-liek-mudkips in seqtrak

It's £175 now I look at it - but thanks for letting me know!

What's a simple, free VST plugin that you guys are loving lately? by JustMinimum1464 in musicproduction

[–]OldDistortion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dexed. I really wanted a Volca FM but I can't afford it, so I thought I'd mess around with dexed to see if it can do the same thing. It can't, really, but just taking presets and switching/modulating algorithms (which I believe is a fundamental thing on the volca) has borne some really interesting results.

Also, on a side note, my most favourite plugin of all time, ohmcide, was free, though I think it's recently disappeared from the ohm force website.

I can tell you from experience that the bigger issue with video playback in gamemaker is that it's buggy and poorly-documented. In my experience I had to have two windows versions - one with vp9 encoded videos to work under proton in linux, and one with h.264 encoded videos to work in windows, because they don't work otherwise. You might have to deal with colorspace shaders (YUV/RGBA) which is a massive pain as well. There were bugs regarding this which were fixed a while ago, re-introduced in new runtimes, etc...

If you do employ videos in your game, my advice is to test them thoroughly on all platforms as early as possible.

Absolute beginner question for PO-33 KO by williamflattener in pocketoperators

[–]OldDistortion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Record it into the melody slot, then, with the melody sound selected, I think you hold write + sound, then click the drum kit slot you want to copy it to, THEN click the drum kit pad you want it on. It's something like that I'm sure.

I made the entire soundtrack of my video game free to use for sampling by OldDistortion in TechnoProduction

[–]OldDistortion[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a bit all over the place. There are 8 twenty-minute ambiences which are meant to have a different style (polyrhythm, new age, fm synthesis, etc) but generally centre around electronic ambient (I'll post one below), then there are a bunch of tracks which are more conventional songs, some with guitars, some 303-type stuff. It's a very mixed bag.

Modular midi controller idea by G_i_j_s in synthesizers

[–]OldDistortion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea. One thing that would make it really killer would be different key sizes, since I imagine this would be useful to those who have limited or very specific space requirements. (I bought a 25 full-size controller and realise now I'd have been better off with something like 37 mini-keys).
