Issue 50 (its our birfday!) 31st July 2002. Double CD issue - usual stuff on one and DS-404 exclusive on another with 640MB of cracking pro sampler patches in .404 format. We wont ever be able to run the patches again cause of space restrictions, so this is your only chance to get em [Smile]

Red
Posted: 5th July 2002 08:53
Yeah, not very practical to have the patches on our website - they are huge. We'll see...

An yeah, its developed by Muon so expect quality. heres a comment Dave made on our forum:

"It's 16 way multitimbral but each timbre has its 32 note polyphony.
If your CPU is up to it therefore this thing is 512 voice polyphonic. Might have to wait for those 3giga Athlons first though Wink

The filters are not quite the same as CM101/SR202 but are clearly from the same family. You'll also notice that there are bandpass, bandreject and a couple of new ones (peak and lowpass/notch) too. This is a powerful piece of kit and no mistake.

The screenshot that we can't show you yet is the keymap editor (which is where you map samples to the keyboard). We're just putting some finishing touches to it so that'll be along a little later.

Kind regards

However, and here comes the spoilt brat whinge! The .404 sample format being another proprietary format kind of sucks.

The thing is, there are very few sample formats that translate well from one audio platform to another. If you've tried to load a giga file into Halion or a soundfont it will in most cases sound only vaguely similar to the software the patch was originally developed for!!

DS404 has no import facilities except for raw WAV and AIFF. The editing is pretty straightforward and with the huge user base this thing is going to reach I expect to see patches cropping up all over the place just like SR202 kits. I would say that CM will no doubt feature 404 banks on their CD and on their site for some time to come too.

We here at Muon will also be releasing premium-quality content for seperate purchase and I don't think we'll be the only ones. When you think of just how many people are going to get a copy of this I don't think other soundware developer will be able to ignore it :-)

quote:
Also, two things you haven't mentioned (after all 16 part multitimbral is enough to knock me on my arse already), how many VST audio channels out? And are there multiple velocity layers available?
DS404 has the same outputs as SR202 - one stereo and four mono.

The architecture is like this: You have 16 keymaps which contain note/velocity zones for your samples. In a patch you chose a keymap as your sound source, and then that feeds into the synthesis section. In this way, you could take a plain strings keymap (with note/vel splits and layers) and make lots of different patches with the filters etc.

You can load up to 16 of these patches into DS404 and then set them on seperate MIDI channels and mix them down, or (which is a lot of fun) stack patches up on the same MIDI channel and play lush, lovely layers.

Hope this helps

Holy Moly!!!!!
The more you guys tell us about this the more I wonder if you have gone completely looney! This is probably the coolest thing that either CM or Muon has yet done, and that's saying something. It looks easy to use, functional, and as with all the Muon stuff, it's pleasing to the eye. Would you look at all those filter options! And an extra disc of sounds?!?!?! It's going to be a long three weeks waiting! I hope Dave and CM both know how much we appreciate what they do for us. Thanks, guys! [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

The DS 404 looks brilliant!
I hope my copy of CM Mag gets to me in Australia.
I order mine in specially and the Newsagent
holds it for me but I heard that CM didn't print
enough of the sequencer special and a lot of OS buyers missed out.

I hope you guys printed extra copies of the release that the DS 404 is on and of course of your VSTi special, so we Aussies can have it too!!

Of course, I really should subscribe, but CM has a huge impost on overseas subscriptions that makes
it very expensive as a lump sum outlay.

Strange, because Australia is still a colony of
the British Empire and we still have the Queen
as our head of state. We should ask for recompense or a Republic!!! :wink:

Wow Dave!!!!!

This sounds amazing. I'm going to see if I can convince some people to buy Issue 50 of the magazine just because of the potential for them later on.

In fact, maybe I can buy a few copies of the magazine and give them away to struggling musicians that I know.

This may just be one of the most generous give aways.......ever! (edit - not mine Muon's and CM's)

Then I think you should (in line with my suggestions about the amazing SR202) do an upgrade of it for a modest $30 fee and watch the bucks fly into Muon. Like a 16 VST channel output and maybe one or two other things.

And selling some really professional sample sets is mega smart.

Why is it that Muon always excites me more than nearly any other plug-in company? Because they're BLOODY generous and produce amazing instruments at a very low cost.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I've been wanting to sample my Toypiano, I just did a bunch of tweaks to it to make it quieter, by putting felt everywhere it should have been, just so I could record with it, without the key noise. My next thing was actually going out and buying a sampler (just so I don't have to worry about micing it and that extra bit of noise I couldn't get rid of when I lift up the keys), but now I just have to buy CM. You guys do rock, and I still love the CM101. Red, will this be available for purchase from the website? It seems like sometimes you guys have issues with ordering the mag from their, and it's easier for us that live in the States to just order it from you, than wait like 6 weeks, then go hunting for the mag.

DS404 has been thoroughly tested (and will be tested much further too over the next week). We're quite keen to avoid a repeat performance to be honest.

As for SR202, we've found what we think is the root cause of the problem and it *will* be fixed as soon as DS404 leaves for the mastering plant.

And I hope when the bugs are fixed in the SR202, you make the GUI smaller as well. Hey, I've actually had no problems with the SR202, I just wish I didn't have to fiddle with my taskbar to access the bottom row of channels! Ok, I said I wouldn't buy CM anymore because it's redundancy, but here I am getting ready to go down to Barns and Noble! [Smile]

Posted: 5th July 2002 21:17
Hey, that looks like another Class "A" machine from Muon, but quite frankly, I never expect any less.

God bless Muon!

However, and here comes the spoilt brat whinge! The .404 sample format being another proprietary format kind of sucks.

I know, it's a pathetic whinge in SO many ways. But if this sample gimme is going to be the only one, no one after Issue 50 is going to be in the running with this beast because they won't be able to access a back copy of the issue.

OK, that's not the end of the world if they can get the samples from somewhere else...but they can't can they?

So how is it all going to work?

Has CM and/or Muon considered what the lifespan of this machine is actually going to be? As much as I agree that it should be all about making your own samples, the truth is (and we all know it) that people want to be able to get sample sets for there sampler already made. It doesn't look like this is going to be a viable option for a proprietary sample format like .404 .... or is it?

Also, two things you haven't mentioned (after all 16 part multitimbral is enough to knock me on my arse already), how many VST audio channels out? And are there multiple velocity layers available?

It looks positively scrumptious though and I'll be lining up for a copy believe me! Even though I've got soft samplers up to my eyeballs, I can't look past a Muon freebie!

Posted: 5th July 2002 22:51
erm.. upon rereading.. since you're still straightening out the code and it appears that it allows you to edit the loop point??? could you please leave that loop point value 'open..' not sure of the code exactly, but logic 'grabs' all 'untied up' variables and let's you automate them.. i'll be your best friend..

it's funny.. open up tobybear's 'helios' in logic and you get about 100 sliders from various variables...

anyway. loop points. loop points. hold in release

..but could you make sure that the knobs are legible as opposed to SR-202 disapearing tidbits
Muon Software Ltd
Posted: 6th July 2002 07:47
Sorry xoxos, but DS404 doesn't allow you to modulate sample parameters like loop points in real time. You have to play another note to hear the effect.

All of the synthesis parameters have an immediate realtime effect though just as you'd expect.

Posted: 6th July 2002 16:58
this seems terrific, but does this mean there will be no further attempt to fix the never working correctly 202, which despite a beta release here and there, never overcame it's graphics bug on the mac [i don't know what ever became of it on the PC/but whenever you twiddled the knobs on the filters on the mac side it would crash] the filters on the 202 were cool as were the drumkits Id gotten but never got to use it for any amount of time... inquiring minds would like to know!

Hi Red,

Sorry if it's off-topic but i have a little question...
I'm french and I can remember the time when i bought CM (french edition) every mounths... was in 1999/2000 I think. (?)

Does the french edition really is dead? [Frown]
If yes, is there a way for me to get a subscription for the english edition? How?

I enjoyed to read your mag and that's too weird for me not to be able to buy it anymore. [Frown]

Happy birthday to CM by the way.

cheers.

Skippy/John,

We get them in NYC about 6-7 weeks after the UK newsstand date.... I would imagine it's similar for the rest of the US as well.

I finally gave up and got a subscription after getting to B&N too late a couple times. Usually gets here a couple days after the UK newsstand date.

More loops, please. [Smile]

Why did you have to call it DS-404 ? You know there's a TS-404 in Fruityloops do you ?

Not that I care that much but you know this is gonna raise the inevitable : "Is this de new TS-404" questions. Especially since we updated the TS-404 in FL 3.5.

Please be a little more careful in the future.

well jean, its only a natural progression of their vst-i line, since they began with CM101 (which was a very suitable name if you think about it) then on to SR202 and so on. it was obvious that they would have to progress to a 404, no matter what the initials, it would still resemble the ts 404 name.

but you are aware that the TS404 name isnt original at all (as well as the computer music ones) its supposed to sound similar to the roland line of synths SH101, tb303, tr909, mc303 etc. so really theres no point in complaining about a name that sounds like yours, when yours sounds like something else.

Muon Software Ltd
Posted: 9th July 2002 05:48
Sibi - all Muon instruments (except the Atom and Tau) respond to MIDI CC messages 75 onwards for nearly all their parameters. However, your Phatboy only has a variety of pre-programmed modes none of which are suitable for use straigt away. Obviously if you had a programmable fader box like a Kenton or suchlike you could quickly create a profile and off you go (if anyone wants a Kenton profile let me know, BTW).

My best suggestion would be to set your Phatboy to Mode V (standard CCs) and then remap the controllers in your host. Mode V starts at CC40.

Muon Software Ltd
Posted: 9th July 2002 13:17
No, this doesn't seem to be correct. Fruity 3.4 saves TS404 sounds, like all other Fruity presets, as .FST (Fruity State Files). This is true also of Fruity 3.5 from what I have seen.

Some of TS404 presets supplied in Fruity are .404 files I did notice, but I couldn't find any particular way of *creating* one in a new version of Fruity. Not one of the 404 files is newer than early 2000 so I guess they are a throwback to a years-old version.

The point also about FXB files is a good one....and you might also want to think how mac users get by without file extensions at all, on the whole :-)

exactly. i dont want more of this if it can be avoided.. [Frown]

but reguardless, the fxb isnt a synth specific format, where-as the *.404 already is. so another synth writing to this extension would be along the lines of me writing a synth that writes *.wav presets, that dont conform in any way to the *.wav standard already in place..

there are over 999 different extensions to be made with the 3 letter/number spaces given.. i just wish we wouldnt see the same 50-100 used over and over..
Muon Software Ltd
Posted: 9th July 2002 15:41
I've said this already, but just to emphasise:

1. It seems to us that the 404 file format has be out of use for some time. There are no files supplied in the present versions of Fruity with this extension that are newer than 2000.

2. With Fruity 3.4 and 3.5 there doesn't seem to be a way to create *.404 files.

Try it for yourself if you are concerned, I'd be interested to see if anyone can do it an a recent version of Fruity.

Either way though, the file format and extension for DS404 will *not* change.

I won't be commenting on this topic further - if anyone has any serious or important questions about DS404 then please post on up, but I don't need to know whether or not the number 4 is an unlucky number in outer Mongolia [Crazy]

Hi Dave, seeing the PhatBoy mk2 is such a popular device would,t it be a good idea to assign stuff like freq and reso to that standard ? 74 71 etc etc..

better still midi learn would solve any problems once and for all, RGC FXpansion TobyBear etc are doing a nice job of this ..

all the best

Obviously if you had a programmable fader box like a Kenton or suchlike you could quickly create a profile and off you go (if anyone wants a Kenton profile let me know, BTW).

My best suggestion would be to set your Phatboy to Mode V (standard CCs) and then remap the controllers in your host. Mode V starts at CC40.

Yes, Midi Learn mode is very important (my controllers are a POD and a J-Station) and should not be overlooked by any developer. It's getting to the point where I'm begining to expect it, in commercial products, and the inclusion of it is always a major highlight. I'd love to see Muon (as well as others) include it from now on, as it's become almost necessary with all the different kinds of controllers on the market.

yep, Midi learn is the way to solve the problem of unique ccr settings imho.

Chris - yes, it works with stereo samples (though they take two voices, one for each channel).

As for MIDI learn, its certainly something we'll be looking at in the future but not in the CM range of plugins.

...and Fitch, we've done our darndest to make sure DS404 doesn't crash. SR202 will be receiving a fix soon too.

So you have Control Freak files for the Computer Music freebies as well as your other stuff?

Is it possible for you to post them on your website?

That would be cool [Smile]

Let me see if I can get the program out of the control freak and into something useful, like a SysEx file....

OK, try:

www.muon-software.com/freedownloads/freak.zip

That's a profile for controllers 75-90 which will allow you to control the first 16 parameters of any Muon/CM synth. If it works OK, we'll do another couple like it and put them on the support pages in our site.

Cheers
