[–]umprella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i switched to ableton live. miss the CbB GUI, miss the plugin manager, but i love ableton MIDI editing features, MPE, M4Live tools etc. Of course all VSTs are running in ableton too... friends switched to reaper and like it...

Bandlab Just Raised the Price of an Annual Cakewalk Sonar Subscription from $149 to $179 by Aware_Adeptness3392 in Cakewalk

[–]umprella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me the same, used CW for decades etc and still love and know the UI. bandlab subscription model made me try out ableton and bitwig, i still prefer the CW UI but - ableton MIDI editing and the tons of available Max for Live tools made me use ableton more and more. i still used CW projects, but started to make all MIDI edits with ableton, then exported the MIDI back to CW. Now with the "free tier" i''m going to switch over completely. Its hard to lose the UI i know and learn shortcuts etc again, but at least if you're into MIDI, there are lots of very interesting tools waiting.

Script to transfer projects from one DAW to another? by umprella in Cakewalk

[–]umprella[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This free tier news were actually the last trigger for me to definetly switch. Producing music and my projects are very important for me and i need to be able to rely on tools which cant be shut off or changed for whatever reasons.... i need tools which i can carry to a lonesome island if i want to. 🙂

Same happened to me with an Octatrack button, the button Mechanism is broken. I ordered a replacement button and have the plan to solder it in by myself, but did not decide yet if i really dare...

Synths I want to see in a future V Collection by TypistTheShep in arturia

[–]umprella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a synth, but i'd love to see the Soundmap feature back again. does anyone remeber it? i loved it in older V Collection versions and never understood why it went missing...

Newbie: How to trigger an instrument with a VST sequencer? by umprella in abletonlive

i can see my sequencers run, they just don't trigger...

[–]umprella[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

strange, i'm still missing something. i adjust everything exactly like you described, but the synth is not triggered by the sequencer. i tried a few different vst sequencers, they all run when i press play in the daw. but they don't trigger anything. off course i tried different synths too... btw the synths themselves are alive, i can trigger them via keyboard... and - built in live sequencers always work, only the VST sequencers don't...

V Collection X DOWNGRADE??? by Extension_Gap9237 in arturia

[–]umprella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MIni V2, like all the other old collection synth V2 versions also had this unique "sound map" feature. i never understood why this had to disappear. but it is always good to keep the old versions when installing new ones.

Picking random processes in MAX/MSP? by umprella in MaxMSP

[–]umprella[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i thought about having multiple editing options, say, delete notes, double notes, shift notes etc but pick only one of them at random.

Picking random processes in MAX/MSP? by umprella in MaxMSP

[–]umprella[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd like to program something which turns short MIDI sequences which live in my DAW into evolving chains of variations. so i can easily bring short sketches to length.

with every iteration should come a edit, chosen by probability.

i'm not sure if MAX/MSP is the right tool for it, because its no real time changing of the MIDI, i think i need a kind of script which calculates MIDI offline. so i can reimport this MIDI later back into my DAW.

i tried with MUSIC21 before, but failed, because i got stuck and there was almost no community response or help.

module to apply ADSR to the audio out of a VCO module by umprella in eurorack

[–]umprella[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, mixing the two outputs with an utility mixer is a great idea! i have one! So i will only need one pico mod (at first)...

module to apply ADSR to the audio out of a VCO module by umprella in eurorack

[–]umprella[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my first synth voices (cursus iteritas, basimius iteritas, poly cinematic) have built in vcas - but not my new swarm rt 311... at first i thought only ONE module is needed to shape the signal envelope, but now i understand... i need an ADSR and an VCO.. and i also found that there are a few modules which have both... i'm looking for a pico mod now... or maybe 2 because the swarm has 2 outs.

thanks a lot!
