OK - now I understand. If you're not sure what's being asked then try http://babel.altavista.com/ for a helpful (and always amusing!) translation.

Regards,

Derek.

thanks to jackd for settin me up with that :D

P.S. STS-21 ?? tell us more!
Well,
- the transition mode has been reworked and now there are two different modes for transition.
- each filter has it's own ADSR EG
- streamlined the system for better efficiency and even could optimise CPU-usage

cheers

Anybody using protoplasm in Ableton Live? Protoplasm fills Live's undo buffer with parameter changes, making undo useless. Is there a workaround? I think I need to turn off those blinking LEDs....
Close call glad I noticed this: I was just about to buy Protoplasm. Woulda been a waste cuz' I couldn't use it: I depend on Ctrl-Z a lot!

It is a problem that happens with many plugs in Live. Tell that to ableton, they know about it and will fix in the future, -how soon depends on customers, so complain about it, please.... I did...:)

That would be cool.... you are talking about auto-oscillating parameters in Live?

not really, probably their VST(i) integration (esp. Automation) is not as 100% compatible as it should be.

btw. the update is done, the registered Pro version is already available via Paypal, via Shareit probably tomorrow - the free version will be available in a few days.

Yeah I'll get on 'em. Is anyone compiling a list of these anywhere?

So you think that Live's undo buffer should be able to distinguish between when I manually alter a parameter vs. when the VST alters it's own parameters?

That would be the best way. Well after having found the workaround for that and thought a while about Live's general concept I think that could hardly be done. Now it seems to me their undo is some kind of 'floating' concept i.e. grabbing all changing/changed data for a certain period of time til the buffer is filled and then removing oldest when new data come in. Basically not a bad solution. Otherwise one might have to set a snapshot point manually for each undo step. But anyway this could be an option to be selectable.

i just purchased Protoplasm and i think it is outstanding. the only trouble i'm having is going through the patches, which at the current rate, will take me a couple of years -- since each brings its own new explorations and rewards. so far i'm thinking that the sounds can be categorized under these labels (if i'm missing any, please let me know):
1. Lush, dense atmospherics, soundscapes and pads.
2. Leads (solo parts).
3. Rhythmics, sequences and motion (ones with a discernable beat synced to MIDI tempo).
4. Drones.
My question is, has anyone grouped the patches so one could go through one or the other quickly and pick the one that's best for the job?
thanks, rob

well...thats why I tend to classify my patches according to type at the beginning of the patch name.

The above could be broken down to this:

PAD
LED
RYM
DRON

example: PAD Hyperspace TC

If the patch is renamed, and saved as FXP using MiniHost, then you can create a bank with all the types of pads, ect together using MiniHosts preset manager.A big job howver, so it's up to the user.
