v1.70 released!! :party:

I just fixed / updated version 1.70 of Phenome again.
I've added a little Setup button (to the right above the browser).

Currently you can choose (enter) your PhenomeData location in there. So that you don't have to fiddle with searching the config.txt file and stuff :)

Image

So, if you've installed libraries to e.g. D:\Sounds\New\PhenomeData\
simply type in:

Code: Select all

D:\Sounds\New\PhenomeData
And click the Disk Symbol to the right.
This change will then be stored permanently.

Also a Multi button has been added (for loading and saving Multisetups). (They're saved as standard FXP files).

Oh, and there's the new "performance mode".
Image
Clicking there turns it on. With notes C to G (Note Numbers 24 to 32) you can "switch" between layers, or choose which layer to play via keyboard.
Great for live-performance, moving sounds and other crazy stuff!

(In the future there might come a Guitar-Simulation that features switches for legato,sustain,fretnoise and stuff like that :))

NOTE: Performance Mode-setting will only be save in Multisetups (FXP's).


"Factory B Library" has been released also!

______________________________________________


v1.6 Release Notes:

MIDI Learn: If you experience wobbling or strange behaviour
with an automated control while playback, make sure your keyboard
doesn't send aftertouch while doing MIDI-learn!


With some soundfonts you won't hear nothing at all after loading them.
Make sure to select the right Instrument in the Patch/Instrument slot. Phenome assumes Soundfont Instruments to start at Bank / Patch "0" (Zero) !


New Preset loading/saving:

You can save phenome layer-presets everywhere on
your harddisc(s). The full path to used sf2 files is stored
within each preset. *.phe-presets are simple text-files so
you can edit them afterwards (e.g. changing a soundfont).

Oh, and avoid saving patches in the "phenome" vst folder itself!
From there my file-exists-routine won't work. Also to be fixed in next release.

Download:
http://www.prodyon-virtual-gear.com/dow ... 70_DLL.rar

There's also a 410 MB factory library!
The Library comes with around 130 Phenome Presets and 101 Soundfonts!

Enjoy it!
(And if you really use/enjoy it consider a small donation!!)
Thank you! :D

Thanks let me know hot it performs (CPU-wise). Since i'm on an Athlon XP2400 temporarily at the moment, and there i get 20-30% CPU when playing 40-50 notes.

Hi. thanks!!

What kind of soundfont player is this? Is a basic one or it supports some some advanced things like layers, and disk streaming?

Post

Hi,
sorry but doesn't work here.

Reaper crashes on scanning the plugin and minihost doesn't load it neither. Both give following error message:

Executable 'c:\test\Reaper 3.68\reaper.exe' had thet following unrecoverable error:
Missing Ordinal c:\test\Reaper 3.68\Plugins\FX\VST\Phenome\Phenome.dll->KERNEL32.dll:1


BTW:
It is on Win XP SP1 (32bit).
On Win XP SP2 (32bit) it loads OK.


Also, it's a shame it doesn't fulfil the announced "Total Recall" feature :( , because not only it does not save samples/banks within host project, but it even does not complain if you try to load project and SF2 banks are not available on their original locations (sadly, these are not known then to user then).

Would be cool if it were 16-part (so you can load MIDI files in it), and if it had 16 stereo outputs (for detailed external effect processing per part). Also polyphony up to 128 per part. Possible to do in an update in due time?

Post

wow wow wow thank you man amazing!
*EDIT*its working perfect in cubase 5 and fl studio i have an i7 920 its useing between 4-5%of my cpu with one patch just thought i would let you no anyway nice job!

Post

sonicfire, you've been blessed with a great mind which could bring forth lots of interesting creations! Thank you very much for your freeware! In another world (or another epoch), you'd be a very successful businessman. ;)

I'd really like to buy Randomax from you, but Plugindex only offers PayPal as payment method, and I can't proceed in that matter. Just to let you know that I would like to support you financially somehow.

Thanks again!
