Reeeespect :) I have something similar (iPhone 5) I use to run Alchemy on. The screen barely works at all now, sadly.
-
I’m the opposite. (Although audiotracks will be nice too). Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
-
Ah ok. Makes sense. Thanks.
-
Thanks! So not something I’m likely to use much I think.
-
Cool. Bear in mind that if you set the sample start permenantly to 100 (100% of the sample) as per my method above, then you’re no longer dynamically modulating sample start at all. You just set it and forget it. You’re only then modulating the ‘loop start’ point from then on. So does this not cut down on the clicks?
-
Ok. Thanks. Might try this. Actually loop start is normally assigned to a slow moving LFO rather than a macro. But the same would work. It’s no big deal setting up sample start to be constant at 100 though. And once it’s done it’s done.

Hi. I haven’t realistically got any time to make video demo or anything. But I can explain / help on here. Basically, the principle is that Obsidean will loop a very small section of a wave file. And let you change on the fly exactly which section it is looping. And that’s what a wavetable synth also does. To get it to…
-
I’m pretty sure that it’s not possible to send midi CC’s to an AU. They get blocked. The only way to control AU instrument parameters seems to be via assigning the 10 macro knobs.
-
Cool. Thanks.

Also see Phoenix and Wolfsburg in Gadget. They all seem to allow you to hold a chord with one hand and then if you play a single note higher up the keyboard you’ll hear it pitch ramp into that note (but not affect the chord that’s playing). This is the way I’m used to portomento working in poly synths. I’m sure it’s also…
-
Thanks :). I’ve been experimenting using Obsidean as a wavetable synth. Actually works pretty well (have tried with Animoog timbres and some Serum wavetables I got from the web). Few clicks if you jump around the wavetable too much, but if you move the start position of the sustain loop around slowly via LFO (or similar)…
-
Ah. Thanks. But you can only have 1 sample zone per oscilator? Rather than per sample? Is that right? So you couldn’t swap samples with this parameter. Just shift your sample zone so it either plays a sample or doesn’t play a sample?
-
Oh. Sorry, one more question... There’s another parameter, something like ‘sample key zone’ or something. Do you know how that works? Any possibilities for interesting uses?
-
Yes. Agree. Would be much better if we could.
-
Definitely. Will share when I have something worth sharing. Lots more to explore. I might try some Serum wavetables if I can find any on the web.
-
Wow. I’ve now tried a wavetable approach with a short wav containing a small number of Animoog-like single cycles. Works an absolute treat. For some reason the ‘loop length’ parameter has no effect (are you sure this is a percentage of the total sample file length rather than a value in seconds?) However, going into the…
-
Thanks. Very useful. I’ve managed to get to my iPad now and try some stuff out. I’ve got a 25 sec sample in there, so initially I was annoyed that I had to play the whole 25 second sample right through before it started looping the ‘almost single cycle’ loop. But then I realised that I could assign another knob to control…
-
Thanks. Have updated the thread on Audiobus Forum with this news.
-
B> @dendy said: Brilliant. Thanks very much. I’ll try that. (I’ve been trying to use ‘sample start’ linked to a randomised LFO to get a kind of wavetable effect going on long notes. I found it produces a lot of clicks at the point when the sample loops - but that can be reduced by adding unison voices, chorus, delay and…
-
Just an idea... What I’d really find useful on this thread is any pointers on how to make interesting Obsidean patches. Perhaps if someone who made (or has noticed) any of the factory patches that do something a bit different ... they might be able to point this out so people could go and have a look at what’s possible…
-
Nice. Thanks. So that’s a way to have a built in Arp inside NS2. Just a note to also say I’ve figured out: AUM (hosting Rozeta) > MidiFlow > NS2. Works a treat using Ableton Link. Allows me to record in all that Rozeta midi data.
-
I can confirm no polyphonic aftertouch is supported or recorded in the midi. Which is a bit of a shame. Hopefully it’s coming.
-
Yep. That setup would work I think.
-
Just been experimenting further. I don’t actually think it ignores aftertouch messages, I believe (although I might be wrong) it passes them through to the AU when playing an external MPE device, but it doesn’t record them. In terms of midi cc74, it seems to block all external midi CC’s coming in from getting to the AU,…
-
Just tried this for real with the Roli Lightblock. Works a treat when pitch bend is set 48 - allows you to bend full notes on the Roli playing surface (only mono though). Sounds really great with that model D copy patch you shared in this thread actually!
-
In short, you could ‘mono pitch bend’ with the Seaboard (or similar) using its keyboard just by setting NS2 to pitch bend range +-48. I’m gonna try it later. But ‘poly’ per note pitch bend is more complicated and indeed requires each app/AU to implement this. Edit: and that’s just pitch bend. For per note things like…
-
The problem I’m thinking of in a psydo 4 voice MPE set-up such as: 4 NS2 tracks recording 4 different midi channels with an MPE midi controller (eg Roli Lightblock) rotating events around 4 midi channels is not the notes or the pitch bend messages because as you say, they could all be routed to a single MPE enabled AU…
-
Brilliant. Thanks!

A pack of some more unusual and ambient / evolving patches please. With lots of use of samples. Think Alchemy patch banks. That would great.
