JordiParticipant
I’m not %100 sure this is what you’re asking, but I do my step MMC setting by zooming into the track, then holding the MMC button on the left side of the grid, and then pressing the ZOM button on the right side of the grid, which takes you into the attribute map for the MMC for that track.
JordiParticipantI was foolishly going to point out that the absolute pitch appears in the note circle, and then I realized you were talking about the Nemo. Yeah, I understand Gabriel’s point about modifiers but I can also sympathize with it being a trifle frustrating as is. Maybe you could offer a toggle on the Nemo OS between having it display the step offset only or the step/track total, that might be practical. I don’t see it not accounting for other pitch modifications to be an issue, myself – just having the step + track pitch shown would be enough.
JordiParticipantI’d go through a row of pages, make channel assignments, and think about changing the default pitch assignments for the tracks (if for example you use one or two pages for your drum machines, or something). Then I’d save that blank set of pages with those new channel and pitch assignments.
The next thing to think about is what CCs you want the Mix knobs to send, and adding those assignments to your default machine state, but that’s not something you really will need to worry about immediately, and maybe doesn’t even make sense to do until you’ve wrapped your head around the workflow a bit more.
JordiParticipantOkay, I was on the older version. I’ve installed the new one and we’ll see what happens.
JordiParticipantYeah, the signal to noise ratio on other forums tends to be a little frustrating, but I understand.
JordiParticipantKind of off topic, but I was so pissed off that Apple pulled the firewire port from the low-end laptops that my setup is now computer-less. Spent my laptop money on a Jomox 999.
JordiParticipantI want to be able to easily modify the number of steps playing without losing the current track length factor functionality. If I had to choose one or the other, I’d definitely agree that the track length factor is more important.
JordiParticipantFor me, I’d like to have both. I do you the track length multiplier frequently, but for weird polyrhythmic things being able to quickly dial in (and modify) different track lengths is a lot of fun.
JordiParticipantI think that’s exactly where it is, though, no? From my point of view, anyway.
JordiParticipantOSC is a communication protocol with greater resolution and bandwidth than MIDI and an open-ended URL-style address nesting (example: /synth3/filter2/cutoff 5.0000).
For software that supports it, it is very cool. I don’t see it being integrated for hardware very soon, because it nearly necessitates software integration so that you can define the messages being sent. For example, with a Lemur, you get an editor program wherein you define the OSC message sent by each object. (They do have defaults like "/pagename/containername/objectname x value", but obviously if hardware integration is coming, the destinations are likely to be pre-set on the receiving object, and defaults on the sending object will need to be modified.)
The nature of the address structure makes it very intuitive and easy to work with, along with the greater bandwidth and resolution.
JordiParticipantSorry, I’m not suggesting you should have to translate MIDI to OSC via a computer, I’m saying everything I use with OSC is software anyway, so it doesn’t really matter. If more OSC hardware came out, that would be great. But it’s so open-ended that I’m not sure how much that is going to happen…
JordiParticipant*bump* anyone?
JordiParticipantI have no problems with it, per se, but the way the Octopus forces my cc maps to certain values is problematic. If I could designate a value for each row to send on a particular map (say, by holding that track selector and entering a value in the tempo ring while looking at the CC map), then I could achieve what I wanted. When I’m modulating, say, filter cutoff, I often want it to end on an exact setting.
OSC is pretty great, but since none of my hardware uses it, and you can use something like Max to transform MIDI into OSC for software, it isn’t currently an issue.
Is this thread brought on by the discussion on the elektron user forums, gabriel? That’s me (neuromodulator) talking about the Octopus there.
http://elektron-users.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=28&func=view&id=44685&catid=11Seriously, since all my hardware is MIDI only, any questions about the limitations of MIDI is kind of moot, from my point of view.
JordiParticipantYeah, I’d really like to see some development of the scale functions, and it would be really great if you could transpose all tracks locked to the grid scale via another track, so that you could automate things.
JordiParticipantMaking videos is on my to-do list, but I’m not sure how far away it is…
