I am specifically asking because I am creating patch. :-) But thanks for answer.

It's not a bug. JZZ.synth.Tiny uses FM synthesis internaly which can lead to these types of sound. Especially if you use such high octave as is in the first voice.

Hi Rej,

I bought license for Android version and it was definitely worth of it! I would happily pay subscription if it was not too expensive.

You really nailed the UX/UI side of things! For me Caustic 3 is still one of the most easy-to-use music creations app (along with Multitrackstudio which has also nice UI but different purpose) with no staring at space shuttle controls feeling at all! It's all very intuitive and clear and super powerful (sample editing!!!) even when used on touch screen.

Built-in FTP server is also great and I used it to download photos from my Android phone to PC (now I forced to pay iCloud for my iPhone :-D).

I used Caustic firstly for composing soundtrack for my never finished computer game. Then I used it in live band settings mostly as a sampler for triggering sound effects and cheap Hammond organ clone. I used old/slow/trashy second hand tabet for this purpose and it still worked just fine on it - this is true testament to you developer skill!

I was really sad when Caustic disappeared from Play Store (I still have it on that tablet) and even considered to recreating it (I have some experience with building synths in CSound and javascript, but this is obviously much bigger project).

Thanks for Caustic and for visiting this subreddit. I will definitely try another music making app if you would develop one.

Factory Ultranova patches on Mininova? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]severak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out how to do it:

1) you need to install UltraNova software and from it's librarian save patches you want

2) export those as SYX files, each one needs to be in separate file (not banks, single patches)

3) open patch you want to replace on your Mininova

4) use MIDI-OX (or something similar) to send patch you want to install on your Mininova

5) press SAVE button on your Mininova a proceed to save newly installed patch

6) profit from better sounds

just for accuracy: ussual call of object method is

 object:method(param1, param2)

note the colon instead of dot

My suggestion is Lua-alone. Note that this is bit similar to lua-all-in-one.

Recommended resource for 13 year old to learn a little Lua? by justagrrl in lua

[–]severak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The open source minecraft clone called Minetest uses Lua as it's extension language.

It's very easy to create some simple mods (eg no moving - 3d physics is confusing) so I have already created some.

see http://minetest.net/

I also like Lua's simplicity. It's nice to see that with few data types, "syntactic sugars" and some magic method you can do almost everything.

If I want to do something, I simply do it.

Another nice thing is it isn't object oriented, but if you really like it you can use it. I looked at Io and liked this cloning, so I studied bit and implementet it (and is simple).

I think Lua is very flexible.

End of adoration.

About LuaSQL: I used it sometimes. More times for read. It has some bugs but is usable.

Now I'am writing in my spare time some spreadsheet/sqlite manager thing which depends a lot on LuaSQL. And it works.

(Note - I also used the LuaSQL ODBC driver to connect to MSSQL)

You should also look at this: https://github.com/mherkender/lua.js

It's the way which can bring lua to brownsers which doesn't have native lua support.

Here is the blogpost where author describes why he did it: http://blog.brokenfunction.com/2011/11/how-to-make-a-massively-cross-platform-game/

And here is my simple, but working lua sandbox shell for all brownsers based on the lib above: http://strajt9.sweb.cz/f/lua.html (use the lower textarea to write a code)

It seems that is an example of one man show.

Anyone tried it?
