trying to make unison without reading all 32 waveforms

Post by djbrynte »

Hi i need some help from someone. Im trying to make so the unison dont read all waveforms i have. (Now it store everyone for eac added osc)

A good explenation. I have a Wave table osc. And from the array it goes to 7 or 8 diffrent more reads. So it will automaticly store 32 waveforms in each read.

And i wana change so it only use the waveforms thats used. So it doesent create 7 x 32 waveforms.

Can some one pls help me?

How about using multivoices... You may set velocity and key ranges for all voices to cover full keyboard. That way all of them will be playing in unison when you press a key. Also you can customize the number of voices easily. You may also use voice ID and/or voice tag to control which waveform/wavetable is used in that voice and also control detune effects.

na this is working well also very low cpu. So i wana keep it. But it should not be hard changing so it doesent read all 32 waves instead of 1

Slow loading vs quick read, quick read wins every time, both would be great but sometimes you have to make a choice.
Load time used to be a bit of a pain but never a deal breaker if the result was worth it. Maybe I'm just old but I don't mind the time it takes to load up kontakt with a full orchestra when its faster than loading cubase on an atari st (damn a got a bit of a semi thinking about that, somebody produce an atari shell for cubase and give a lot of old engineers a happy ending ;) ;) )

Ah memories these whippersnappers don't know how good they've got it, try 1meg of samples per track and loading that live via floppy disk in a field while its raining, good times :D

As I think about it ... even though the clock speed on the Atari was minuscule compared to todays MEGA hertz ...
I haven't found a PC DAW that does what NOTATOR did, from like 2 different screens [and that's if you needed the extra one] :roll:

Sure ... it is no match for todays mega tracks with unlimited audio ... but I'm not looking at that as much as the control that was always visible. LOGIC kinda tried to stay with it ... but nah.

I use Reaper now [after oh so many others] ... but for pure MIDI work, I really missed the integration of staff notation and event list editing of NOTATOR. With 'swing' control, transpose, velocity overrides, compression ... right there in front of da face :lol:

Someday [if I ever get time], I'll pull my 2 remaining STe's out of storage ... they probably won't work cause the built in clock/date was suppose to have a error in it [something like the date couldn't go into the year 2000] ... something like that :roll: :lol:

Ah yes ... many many years of good memories and oh so many great projects.

for some reason ... I do feel a bit sad ... in a fuzzy warm kinda way :|

As I totally derail this thread ... sorry !

But you're right !

I only too well remember storing my LINNDrum data to a cassette deck :shock: Talk about the most unreliable, extremely difficult to manage versions numbers, etc. I was flying around the country with my LINN and a bag-of-cassettes flying in drum tracks .... that were being locked to FSK code :o

oh my ... Retrofitting the LINN to MIDI and having SMPTE clock couldn't come to soon !

I STILL had to buy a COMMODORE SX computer [the portable version] because some guy in North Carolina wrote a special app that would store LINNDrum data on 5" real floppy disks.

oh man ... If I drank ... I'd really would right now ... just thinkin' about it.

OK ... sorry for the thread deflection :|

talk about offtopic! anyway this got solved by KG.

I did find out the the read dont store waveforms ;) it was just what i tought.
