1.3 beta thread

[TonyBy]

i guess eXT comes as a vst as well as vsti for a reason, too.

and so does LiveSlice 1.3 apparently. Now I'm pretty sure effects can have 8 outputs - forgot to write that in my original post. It's also possible that cubase will insist on only allowing two outputs from an effect - I wouldn't know.
The best solution to these kinds of cubase limitations is to get energy XT and use that as a mixing bus inside cubase - like tractions rack effects. Everyone should have energy XT in their setup - it's one of those essential tools.

Hi Ohm.
In SX the inputs/outputs to a plugin effect are governed by what sort of track (or group or FX channel) they are inserted in.
If it's a stereo group, you get 2 in 2 out (the rest are ignored, if there).
In a 5.1 group, an effect can have up to 6 ins and outs.
In Nuendo, I believe, the limit is 10 channels.
Should be no problem using it in SX - but please try to make sure that the FX version and the Instrument version can be used simultaniously - and can have different output configurations (so I can use the FX version as 2 in 2 out, while using the inst. version with 4 stereo outs.
As I said above, being able to drag slices from the FX version into an arrangement in the inst. version would be very cool (if possible ???)
If you want somebody to test an FX version in SX3 for you, just fling it my way !!

They have different id's and config files.

drag slices from the FX version into an arrangement in the inst. version

Will be very complicated, but I'll look at it at some point, since it's related to some other plans I have in relation to livelab.dk product ideas.

Excellent Ohm !!
Looking forward to this FX version - any time scale ??

R.A.W. are you absolutely sure cubase does not support this?

yep, unfortunately.. i tried sx2 and there was no way to route the audio of a channel to LiveSlice's input.

Everyone should have energy XT in their setup - it's one of those essential tools.

you know i'm just an eXT newb, but i have to absolutely agree on that.



btw. i noticed something today when i was working on a track:
when a slice is selected static (shift+lmb) it's not possible to move events in the arranger by holding lmb and dragging.. instead an event gets inserted after releasing the lmb. can that be changed that only events get inserted when clicking on empty spaces and otherwise drag events works the normal way?

This is not intended, and it's not kewl to insert events on mouse-up I agree. I'll change the behavior, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to allow the selected slice to be inserted on empty spaces only - what if you wanted to overwrite existing events? This is how it works normally (without the "static" / SHIFT select).
Instead I'll make sure the slice is inserted on mouse down and then can be moved immediately. Opinions?

that would be perfect

OK, I'm missing something here.

When I record into LS I don't get the first part of the loop I am playing. The rest of the loop is captured. I was using LS as a comp in energyXT.

Where am I going wrong?

hmm... perhaps the loop is longer than the number of beats chosen in the slicer? Is it not clear from the manual that the recording is only as long as the numBeats setting?
Please describe the situation in more detail perhaps if this doesn't help.

[ohm]

wait - you said you were using liveslice as a comp, that means outside the sequencer right? And you are using manual sync mode because energy xt doesn't provide sync info outside the sequencer?

I'll have synced recording wait for a note on if "manual sync" is activated.

[ohm]

another thing to be aware of when using liveslice as a comp is that the tempo in main and the tempo in the sequencer can be different - energy xt really needs some attention in this department

A release candidate of 1.3 will soon land in your inboxes btw.

I had this very same issue when using LS as a comp. Works like a champ within the sequencer.

[ohm]

try the newest beta please just sent it.

one little thing i already noticed in 1.3rc1
as you implemented rmb to preview events in the arranger now, too, i cannot reset envs on rmb anymore. the preview should be disabled when envs are active so we can use rmb for the reset.

DO you also have the issue with the MIdi configuration settings where parameters which do not utilize a pull down menu are limited with value settings (ie: Arr. Param can only be set to "all" or "arr. 1")?
This and the LMB doesn't work with adjustments.

[Maniah]

I'm wondering what exactly the "effect" button is for? It seems like some kind of overdub recording mode but one cannot save the loop if desired???
