more matrix sources

[tnussb]

More matrix sources sounds really great. Especially the random source will become quite useful. Good job!

I'm eager to get my hands finally on a PreenFM2 and dive more deeply into the codebase.

Would be nice to have this matrix sources in regular 2.11 FW

Would be in future 2.12 FW. As 2.11 is already out.

If you use this custom FW, you can add the available matrix sources in the PC/Mac editor (2.11) by editing xml files.

Wow, big things are happening here. You guys rock!

Can I kindly ask for Release Velocity as another mod source, please? One can do quite funky stuff with it. Thanks in advance for even just considering the idea. Cheers!

hi guys,

@cube48 : i will try it soon

Here is a new version, with enhanced speed & duration sources response curve : may not be the last version of this as it's not easy to get it usable in every play style..

and then two special sources (hi @maki) :
nD-1 & nD+1 : read notD from other timbres,
for example, if used in timbre 1, nD-1 will read notD from timbre 4, nD+1 from timbre 2.

Hi Toltekradiation, thank you so much for continuing to work.
Are you planning to return the lost effects and filters?
In particular, Diod, Lad+, Alkx, Txr1/2, LPx1/2 and others. All this was quite interesting, in my opinion, and brought variety to the sound design.

hello,
@cube48 : i tried to use Release Velocity as a new source, but as the system currently don't handle that midi message, it mean quite some code rewrite in the midi library, which i'm not confortable to do right now :/
sorry, maybe later ...

@superfake: yes, i plan to rework some of these filters, which may take some time, some others may be back in some next version

it's still a work in progress, any of these things may change but if you want to test it here is a fw with some changes :

why not having more sources to enhance your combos ? as for nD-1 & nD+1, these sources now available : "velD", "actv", "rpt ", "dvrg", "spee", "dura"
the divergence source now overflow 1 to 0.
new flavour for oryx3 : i didn't like it to be mono.

[cube48]

No worries about RelVel  and thanks a lot for the effort!

Toltekradiation, am I asking to much if I ask you to introduce a famous French invention, sostenuto, as a matrix source? I mean, that only those notes that were held when sustain pedal was activated, should sustain, not the later notes, despite that the sustain pedal is down. This effect could give us a chance to overlap sustained notes with the "dry" notes, like a guitarist who plays short licks over sustained, strummed notes.
When you are done with sostenuto, please make another matrix source - a pitch bend that affects only held notes, not sustained notes. That is how the steel guitar works.
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!

[Toltekradiation]

@maki,
thanks for the ideas, i have no idea how to do this for now but i will think about it
the more expression methods, the better !

[maki]

Sustainpedal as matrixsource and glide 0-1 as matrixdestination. Could you make them?
Thanks.

[Toltekradiation]

hello @maki, sorry for the late response... i will try something about the glide part ; i came across that interesting thread : https://ixox.fr/forum/index.php?topic=63544.msg65836 .. it may be a good starting point for something.

Toltekradiation, please make a Preenfm2 a useful MIDI processor by adding a "MIDI dispatcher" to the Preenfm2 matrix. A MIDI dispatcher routes every new MIDI note and related messages from MIDI IN to a new channel through MIDI OUT, by sending only one note to one channel. This allows us to play a set of monophonic synths as one poly-synth. Thank you.
