How is the vibrato supposed to work?
I would prefer to use it with aftertouch.
The way it is implemented is quite difficult to handle.
When you turn off Vib and offSet is set quite high or low you get an Glissando effect like the Glide function.
I experience some strange effects when playing legato with fast changes.
Sound is loosing high frequencies and is detuning.
MacOs 10.6.4
Ableton Live 8.1.4

Thanks Jazz Franco and hivkorn
Rate : Time knob
Depth Sensivity : Velocity Knob
For aftertouch, you like it to depth and rate or just depth?
change from Vib to pitch envelope (auto bending) while playing
Also it's the AU or the VST, and can you try with another host?
Depth can be negative or positive : offSet KnobPhilG wrote:How is the vibrato supposed to work?

Yes I meant to use it that way, E.G. linking ModWheel to the Vib switch I couldPhilG wrote: When you turn off Vib and offSet is set quite high or low you get an Glissando effect like the Glide function.

That's not good! please tell me more. ThanksPhilG wrote: I experience some strange effects when playing legato with fast changes.

It has been the AU, but today I can't reproduce it.
AU and VST are running fine.
Maybe the Mac only needed a reboot, because I installed Knagalis over the previous version.
Still I am not happy with the playability of the vibrato, as you have to control two parameters (speed or Time and depth or offSet).
Velocity doesn't seem to have any effect?
I would prefer to control the depth with aftertouch and the speed with an assignable controller.
An option to stop the drone would be helpful in many situations, especially when playing Live.
Maybe hold pedal or assignable controller.

ok I check that and add aftertouch for vibrato depth,
Note that in sync mode the Drone does stop, but it takes 10 seconds due to a fixed release time,
maybe I can make that shorter
The Drone volume is an assignable controller already, maybe you mean something else?An option to stop the drone would be helpful in many situations, especially when playing Live.

I meant s.th. like an AllNotesOff command for the drone to stop at once.
This is needed to reproduce stop turning a hurdys wheel or take the pressure from a bagpipes bag.
Bordun instruments have no sustain, they start and stop playing instantly.
For these kind of instruments I use the Free option for the drones, because my bordun sounds are looped and they should not retrigger with each note.

Hi, yes that's right, but Knagalis does respond to AllNotesOff, the MIDI message, and you can send that with a switch or other controller to immediately stop the Drone, doesn't work? For live performance there are mani MIDI softwares which allow you to mak a single key for instance to send a chosen MIDI message.
Well if you like I could add that in Knagalis, like maybe the lowest or highest note for the keyboard to send the AllNotesOff
Another way is to map a MIDI pedal to the Drone volume,
but the drawback is that if the pedal is not continuos, E.G. it's a switch on off, then it jumps from zero to max volume.
