You can just install over the previous version.
Good idea.
I'll check out these soundfiles soon, thanks for taking the time. The sound is not any different on purpose.
CPU load might be due to drawing---for a better comparison of the audio you could test with the window closed in each case.
All parameters change in the smallest visible amount when the shift key is held down (fine adjust.) So, I think your mousewheel is sending multiple "ticks" at once. Maybe there is a way for you to adjust it in your system settings.
I have never tried Bidule.
I think, a toggle converts a float parameter into an integer 0/1 by dropping the non-integer part. So if you used the range 0.0-1.0 you would still always be less than 1. Why don't you try 0-2?
It should be possible but some code might have to be written to extend those apps. Or a new app written. I don't really have time to do it myself but I would love to see someone take this project on.
I don't have any idea why it would have to break in. Please keep me posted.
I can tone the gradient down a bit for you gradient haters.
FYI the original "flat" version has a gradient on it too. I just made it more obvious.
The dial buttons and toggle switch backgrounds are closer to the overall background color now because some people used to white backgrounds were confusing off (dark square on a light blue background) with on (white or other color on light blue background). So the "on" state now has lots more contrast away from the background than the off state, which is better.
Is OSC t3D implementation a classic format and how to too know the good address..? usable with something else than Soundplane..?
There should be enough info in t3d thread in Hardware forums to get started.
_what is the midi program change code you use, don't seems to work here ..?
Normal program change messages should work.
_small typo issue: in my reel name there's a "éa" and in this version, it's become é ..... ;-)
Aalto sadly doesn't speak Unicode yet for names, sorry. we can fix this in your account. Please email to remind me.
Group answer:
I have fixed the licenses for everyone who mentioned not finding "My Downloads" here.
1.3.0 really shouldn't sound any different. There are some fixes to how parameters are scaled but these shouldn't affect existing patches. Curious. If you want to send an example that would be great.
There is no reason to install the new patches if you have 1.2.6. I'll put out some updated user patches soon hopefully.
great username BTW thewalkingforest. You should be able to download now .
By all y’all I just mean the people who let me know here. Should be working OK for most. If it's not, let me know.
OK, I do believe I've fixed it for all y'all.
It's just hard to predict when all the problems will be solved. I'm working on it... hard.
People have betas and they are looking good. Likely just a few days.
Looks like we do now.
Patches made for the "Aalto for Soundplane" beta will need a tweak or two to work with Soundplane in Aalto 1.3, coming in a few days. Just FYI. Aalto1.3 goes into Soundplane / t3d mode when it detects an appropriate device, but otherwise listens to MIDI.
Posted without much comment. This was the quick patch I made for doing some vocals with Bruno Pronsato this year at Decibel. Fun and addictive.
An app made from the patch is included in the zip file for those who don't have Max/MSP.
A quick post from Victoria, BC. I'll be giving a lecture and a Soundplane workshop here at the University as part of a series celebrating the 100th birthday of Alan Turing. Also presenting over the next two days will be Jaron Lanier and Adam Tindale. See the schedule of events here:
I will look into this... after I get the 1.3.0 release out. Meanwhile please let me know what host / operating system you are talking about!
Weird. I heard from another player who has worse noise in the 0.98 software than before. So it's possible that I have done something that makes this software worse for some Soundplanes. I will be investigating this week and send out a new version ASAP.
Try hitting "recalibrate" when you see the noise-- does that help? I added new anti-noise calibration in the latest software but it's possible it is not detecting some intermittent noise, and making bad decisions in some cases.
Another temporary fix is to set "lopass" on the expert page down to something like 10. This will make the response slower but should lessen the noise greatly.
cool!
Hmm hoodies are kind of pricey. But you can't fly your Aalto colors in the Winter with a t-shirt. Decisions, decisions.
I'm close to finishing the Aalto 1.3 upgrade. I had a request for a sneak peek, so here you go. The 1.3 version leaves the sound engine exactly the same, but adds a few of the MIDI and usability features most requested by users. Mostly people complained that Aalto's UI was just too big overall. So I hope you enjoy the new, smaller version:
Cute little guy, ain't he. Wait, what? You said it was too small already? OK, enjoy the new, bigger version:
And yes, you can smoothly resize between the two.
If you look closely, you can see evidence of new capabilities that will be coming. The list is not set in stone and will include some things depending on whether I have time to finish in the next couple of weeks. So I'll hold off on announcing new features until the release is out.
Since my site update this morning, there has been a problem with downloading registered copies of Aalto.
I'll fix this ASAP and post an update here when it's done. Sorry for any trouble.
[EDIT] Fixed.
OK! I even played around with colors a while ago. I'll do this after I mail out some Soundplanes and take a quick nap. So, first half of June-ish.
[EDIT] yeah, right.
The second run of 30 Soundplanes is under way! I am taking orders now for mid-December delivery at the price of $1,895. Please visit the hardware page for new ordering info and new photos.
Cool trick! A bit esoteric to include in the synth itself probably.
Not gonna happen. Not a bad idea. But the voices can't interact with each other or I couldn't optimize them in ways that I have already done and ways I have planned.
Think of them like voice cards in a polysynth that all are controlled by the same motherboard.
Hello and welcome aboard!
Well, this is a pretty general question and I think more of the answers will only come in a little time, after you have tried different things with your Soundplane yourself.
We are all just beginners with this instrument, so if you dive in, you'll quickly be as much of an authority as anyone!
I designed the Soundplane to make a new level of expressive control possible for software synthesis. I think a computer is the best way to try a lot of different sounds and setups and approaches to the instrument, especially since you already have one. It certainly offers enough room for a lifetime of exploration. You could use your Mac, really dive into it, and eventually think about what's missing, if anything.
A Kyma would offer more polish in terms of the synthesis software-- it has a very high quality of synthesis algorithms and dedicated DSP for a very solid platform.
Though my softsynths and others are getting really good, analog modules still offer a real kind of punch and unpredictability that is hard to duplicate in software.
That's my view from 10,000 meters.
Thanks for writing. This feature is done in 1.3 and coming out very soon!
re: AAX, like RTAS, I'm not sure the number of people who want synths for that platform is not sufficient to pay for the time I would spend writing and supporting it. After 1.3 is out I'll take a look at the new SDK.
