Based on the last MUX "experiments" (especially the Novachord, see above...) i have now created a synth that uses a bank of 8 Bandpass filters with fixed Cutoff frequencies and a medium amount of Resonace. The frequencies are 300 Hz, 5200 Hz, 1000 Hz, 1500 Hz, 2200 Hz, 2500 Hz, 3000 Hz and 3500 Hz. Those are related to some Vowel formants so the result could be called a "Vowel" or "Formant" filter.

Have fun,
ingo

Thanks Ingo! I'm very busy these days, but I will surely try and have fun with this preset as soon as I can

Don't miss the others at the page before...

BTW the waveform was created with DNR Wave Designer.

Ingo, i loaded the mux of yours (multisampled virus), saved the project in maschine and then loaded the project - it was more or less instant. Maybe it's live related. I'd test it in more hosts but im having a fever and brain is not in the mood

Buddha.. if you want excitment you cant go wrong with mux. I've had that feeling several times a day ever since i got it. This morning's early project was to create a kick drum mux module by using Charlatan synth. Maybe im just weird, but i love trying to find out what ranges sounds good etc. It's like all synths and effects i've had from before are now spices i get to use as a sonic chef

*forgot to hit submit*

Happens all the time when i play with mux ... i "juuust" have to try this or that and forget whatever i was doing... And in this case i first added a second charlatan in the mix but with a shorter decay for a little "click". Mux takes care of any limitations you may find.. Need another envelope? *check* Need unison? *check*
Once the kick was done i decided to make a hihat mux with charlatan ... and im mighty pleased! At about this time i have to stop though as the "amount of ideas"/"possible time to do them" gives an error. Well, my body can't handle it anyway

Did you use the MUX with the embedded samples (was around 50 MB big) or the updated version with the separate samples download which i uploaded yesterday?
With the new version i also got no problems so far.

The advantage of the new version is that the mux files itself are very small. With the old one for only different 20 presets based on it you would have used around 1 GB of disk space.


Ingo

It was the 50Mb version

But i think using separate wav files is better, as long as it's easy to load the presets.

I agree with that and with Ableton Live i got problems with the embedded version anyway.
BTW did you check the new MUX at the beginning of this page?
Next try will be the same with the Virus sample or one of the other samples and waveforms i got including some Vox like waveforms created with DNR Wave Designer....


Ingo

I was confused for a while there! You used the same filename for the 50mb version as the new one, but i figured it out! I put the files as you described and it worked without a hitch! Personally i find that virus sound/sample to be a bit too lively. It feels like a stressed out compressor is trying to keep up with it but it just can't haha
Human empathizing with a virtual software compressor that doesn't even exist.

I wish there was a way to load another set of samples from the top level of mux. Or maybe just change that module so i could get the initial novachord (which i can by rightclick replace etc) but it would be cool to do it with the UI directly. Let's hope Master Mu listens!

As i respect your work im respectfully going to say that i think the vibrato amount could be reduced quite a bit as it's way beyond normal usable range. I rather have some precision!

The info you added on that post on top of page with the wowel frequencies was very interesting, didn't know that!

Yay! Glad it's being helpful to you

It is for sure. I can't even imagine what will be possible with the final version...


Ingo

Awesome! I've been wanting something like this for a long time - and here it is! I'm sure I'll find plenty to complain about (I usually do, haha) eventually, but right now I'm pretty excited for sure.

Where has Master Mu gone by the way....? Hope everything is well!

Just wanted share to you guys what i've been up to with mux lately.

'tldr' scroll down (seriously, don't read )

I wanted: Analogue sounding selfmade drums.
Problem: Having several synths running at the same time for drums cost CPU - sampling was needed.
New Problem: Very few samplers offers round robin/random (i sampled each drumhit eight times and yes, you can hear the difference of the hits .. and it sounds GREAT!)
Solution: I had forgotten but learned, thanks to kvrians, that Poise offers this sampling playback technique.
New problem again: Browsing samples in maschine is easy .. and i don't want to loose this. And i certainly dont want to sit and save each poise samplecell as a separate instrument in Maschine.

'tldr' scroll here

What i did was to have 10 cells with samples in Poise(each with 8 played in random order). I added piz's midiTranspose and set it to 0-9 and dragged the controller to meta parameter and set it to 50-100% (to avoid negative transpose as there's no cells lower than C3). Now, each 10% i turn i get a new drum sound!
I had made a mux with three of these poises(x10x8) where each had it's transpose and a gain which let me mix three of them at the same time. It's not like im running out of ram any day soon .. so why not
Though it must be said, when you have these slightly out of control samples, having more than one playing at the time sounds like you're beatmixing vinyl.. Which is cool of course! But i only use one at the time to avoid this

For some reason Poise seem to forget where some samples are ... but the filepath is correct in the kit file ....... been on this since yesterday and just when i think i've found a solution .........

I used synths like diva, UNO-LX and charlatan to create the drums. Naturally i "muxed" myself some drum modules. UNO-LX is a fantastic for kicks!! But you have to use two if you want a nice attack as well as rumble since it only has one adsr (using [gate] i heard a snap upon note release so i used the adsr instead). I think the trick is the envelope.

Anyone remember if, and if so, how you could force polysynth into being mono? I guess i could copy all out in a non polysynth area .. but meh !
