it seems absolutely strange to me, how often people mix up ITS and IT'S... i notice it so often and just don't understand how that can happen. interesting, how different people can be, right? this is not meant as criticism at all - i just find it most curious... very glitch if you ask me.

btw, modulr, i love your pseudograins... i bet that would be awesome to use in mulch.

i don't know if it is entirely impossible in some hosts, but preset automation is possible in FL, too - although probably by no means as nice as it might be in mulch... doesn't work with all plug-ins and only in a manual/workaround way.

I only got a demo from some Canadian dude (Tomas Jirku) once. I don't remember, how do you sequence in audio mulch?

Mulch actually has its own preset mechanism for all contraptions, be they internal or VST, on top of .fxb/p. Very handy.

On language, I think the most common errors in English are:
it's, its
they're, there, their
a lot (often spelled alot)

What kind of sequencing are you after?

If MIDI notes, then you can't. For audio, there are no sequencing lanes in Audiomulch, but there are automation lanes, so you can automate triggers to play samples at any point on the timeline.

i've actually caught myself writing 'knew' instead of 'new' a few times during the last four years...

Been playing some more - i am watching a movie, but every fifteen minutes or so, i have to go back to audio mulch.

I feel so sorry for all you people suffering audiomulch. It sure sounds like a dreadful condition. Is it true what they say happens to your, you know... ?

Something I've just found out - not tried it with VST's before as it only has an option for one folder and up till now I was just playing a bit with the beta demo, but I've just told it where to find my VST directory (which isn't small and also includes a bunch of Scope XTC plugins) and 5 seconds later it had loaded the lot - no complaints, no crashes, no slouching. That must be the fastest and least buggy VST loading time, from cold, for any host I know of.

EnergyXT's VST load time is pretty fast and complaint free, too.

I find it annoyingly slow and it seems to need to refresh itself too often when I right click to open something. It is crash free though.

Sequencing in 'Mulch is fun (if a little time consuming).
Apart from triggering samples, you can tune loops by changing loop-length, or do all kinds of nice things with the transpose function of the granular contraptions. Or by bouncing sounds through tuned comb-filters. And so on.
Some methods are more precise than others, it's a matter of concentration.
The ability to automate presets is really helpful here.

Groet, Erik

you just have to ignore my spelling/grammer. Half the time, I'm doing something else while jotting my thoughts here, and I don't tend to proof read a single thing. Search my posts, and you will probably see a rediculous number of silly mistakes. I often think the folks 'round here might think I'm a bit dyslexic and a bad spellah.

Thanks for the complement on the pgrains..heheh...

back to mulch... the preset automation is really great. You see, I hate saving fxb/fxps. Mulch has a nice means of storing up to 20 presets... all of which can be recalled right in the automation lanes. I usually take a a few loops and save them to different presets.. then sequece them by selecting the presets in the automation lane. It's really great stuff. Makes it really easy to just mangle something. Basiclly, it gives you pattern based sequencing right in mulch.. in a weird way. It's a great way of working with everything kinda like snapshots... I use it to generate source material that I tend to further refine in other applications.

Just thought of another reason why I like 'Mulch.
I don't know if this is also true for Bidule and/or EnergyXT, but you can add/patch/replace/bypass/delete contraptions with the sound engine running and it won't budge, even under heavy loads (and with tons of tiny grains and feedbacking delays, CPU can get pretty high).
GUI stays responsive[1], no gaps or (unwanted) glitches, it just keeps on running.
It's definitely the most rock solid host I've come across (which is rather usefull in a live situation).

Groet, Erik

[1] only time it started to stutter was when a very experimental VST started to denormal (on my Athlon!) and CPU went all the way up to a neat 125%. Oh, and 'Mulch didn't crash, and audio stayed smooth all the time.

a)buy the fcuking Audiomulch.
b)it's one of the most underrated/kept secret appz around.
c)just don't picture it as a proper host, it's everything else.
d)today, I'd buy it even just for metasurfaces.

Just buy it, it's one of the best programs for linking loads of effects together to make cool sounds.

There's nothing like it, it's absolutely brilliant.

I'd buy it just for the Metasurface too.

please talk me into purchasing audiomulch ;-)
