seems like Tripod/Lycos doesn't support MAC file types.
They prevent people from downloading "unknown" filetypes, and the files are .sit.hqx...

I will put them into a ZIP now, but I'm not sure if MAC users will be able to open them?

Yes, Mac users can read/de-compress .zip files using Stuffit and/or Zipit, so... go for it!!

If you reduce the polyphony it dosent behave right, when the release time is still going it just prevents you from playing more notes, say if it's on 2 voice poly with long release times and you play some 16th notes, it may sound as 8th notes or 1/4 notes because it wont let the new voices play until the ringing notes die out

Hi, this is true, but it only happens if you reduce the polyphony while you are playing. In "normal" situations you select your polyphony and then play your song. In this case voice allocation works as you'd expect.

Thanks for the FB,

Thanks for the quick response! So are you saying that it does not do this weird behaviour when a file is *rendered* or something? Because i rendered some short little files playing the same sequence with differant low levels of polyphony and they all come out sounding exactly how they sound in realtime in the host, and they also come out sounding quite a bit differant!?

The only time the synth actually PLAYS what is fed into it is when it has more avalible voices in polyphony than it needs to play a sequence of notes with overlapping releases, that is basically the *opposite* of voice allocation as i am used to it meaning because voice allocation means you *dont* have to have a voice of polyphony for each note in a passage, it allocates the voice(s) to the new notes being played, cutting off voices (not held notes etc) as it goes..
The way this is working, it plays every single voice through to the end, and if you're out of polyphony well, too bad, it's not going to play another note until some voices clear up...? Obviously this behaviour can be avoided by using higher polyphony, but it dosent really allocate anything as far as i can see, if there's not enough poly, it just wont play any more voices at all. Here's a little example mp3 i made, it's playing exactly the same 1 bar 16th notes sequence the whole time, yet at the start with 1 note poly, it drops half the notes AND the release of the note before another voice is played, with 2, 3, 4 notes poly the sequence changes and plays more notes randomly but not all.
The mp3 goes like this >1voice poly, 10voice(plays sequence fine twice) 2 voices, 3 voices, back to 10 voices.. it's pretty easy to hear what it does and it does the same thing when rendering a file, so i dont understand what you mean about it only doing it when you "change it while playing".

I'm not complaining nor do i expect you to suppourt these free synths just trying to clarify what it's doing, because if using a 4 part arrangement or something, and it starts hitting its max polyphony, it's just going to start dropping notes left and right, not even playing the sequence correctly. That's a sign of a *lack* of voice allocation from my perspective. It could be a huge bugger, if there's anything you could do about it it would make the synths a lot more useable imo.

Is the site down ?
Is this happening to anyone else ?

Yep. That would be really nice, indeed! I have already tested a simple filter algorithm, but it didn't sound good enough, so I kicked it.
But well, if someone can provide me with a good algorithm...

Thanks for the nice mail!

Hi again exponent!

Sorry one of my two mail accounts is very unreliable (stefan.email@tm1.net), please use stefanj_mail@yahoo.de instead.

Thanks for the info about orion, it will certainly be useful for me!

At least I now know why my synths don't work with Orion, as it currently does not send time-stamped midi events. Since Ganymed & Vivaldi apply midi events sample precise, they expect to get correct timestamps. So thats why it doesn't work too good in Orion, currently.

Best,
Lighthouse

---

Yup, that was the one i was using! (stefanj_mail@yahoo.de)
Good, now that you figured out what is up maybe you or rich(orion developer) could do sometihng about it sometime.
I would think it would be nice if rich just implemented time-stamping in orion, to forego any potential future problems with other vsti's or plugins, but maybe there is some reason he has done it this way i dont know.
Thanks again!

You now no longer lose your current pattern data when you increase the "Used Patterns" parameter.

Sorry for this!

The MAC version will be updated tomorrow.

Thanks a lot for being so quick with da fix!

Oh yes,

a good automation is worth a lot. Therefor I'm checking Sonar 2.0 again in depth as it has multiple outs for DXi's now which is very important to me. And this time it runs flawless on my machine which 1.3.1 simply refused to do.
If this statement rises a question for someone then take it as a hint according to "good automation" in some other proggies. Nuff said.

And yes, I tried Ganymed today and got an instant machine sound with the sequencer, very nice. Thanx a lot blueflameman! Very cool plugin.
