Enjoy, and let me know if you find it useful

I gave it a short run to see if it works in Tunafish and it does. If you want to send midi from the BallSequencer to (e.g.) a plugin in channel 2, then select output channel 1 in BallSequencer and hit Play. Works fine.

Cheers,

Bram

i've played with a few of these bouncy ball type noise makers in the past

could you make a version that only controls synths parameters? i'd have use for that

...maybe i am dumb but i cannot understand how it works in cubase....

And how it works in FLStudio 6?

this is pretty fun.

audodafe, im testing it in cubase SL3. what i did was first load a synth, then load ballsequencer. next assign ballsequencer as the midi input for your synth's track. that should route the midi data from ballsequencer to your synth.

thanks ugo...

i was trying to send midi OUT ouf Bas Seq into the synth, instead of doing like you suggested...

sorry folks, quite new to Cubase...

I tried it on FreeAlpha, which I thought the right candidate for midi torturing tests, and crashed energyXt.
than tried Helios and works perfectly.

Pretty nifty tool, carrier down! reminds me a little of the koan products but I haven't played with those dealies in years...don't even own'em
did just a little poking around with ballsequencer and it does *appear* that you may be able to route just cc settings via ball events, but you'd have to turn note velocities to 0, yes? I'll experiment later, just want to know if I'm on the right track...

tried it in Fruity V6
when I whack the room size down to zero a few times it stops producing sound...cant tell if its because of no midi output or the fault of the VSTi and then I get an access violation message when closing the window of the VSTi synth...probably fruitys fault

other than that thanks for a cool plug

I think that the sudden midi burst is just too much for some VSTis.

One note; the plugin shows no VST parameters in energy XT, only "parameter 0", usually instruments display all their parameters in the list. It would be cool to be able to map for example the room size and note velocities to CCs.

...and now, after crashing once, it refuses to work in eXT anymore

Gives an access violation every time I try to load it.

Looks interesting - I've been hoping for something like Sounder but with better integration - hope this does the job. Thanks

yes, sounder. thanx for the reminder. there was also one in a modular midi environment. i don't remember the name. it seems there was one with which you could grab the balls and throw them.

Good idea, however, it does seem to throw random CPU spikes when used in Sonar 4PE + Energy XT 1.3.6 (Latest Stable Version).
I have it connected in Energy XT with no synth and my CPU is showing 70 ~ 80% spikes (AMD 3200 CPU!).
When I connect in a synth the sound is crackling lke a smouldering pig (mmm! crackling).
Don't know if its a problem with Energy XT or the Sequencer.

Like I said, good idea, hope a solution is possible because I would like to use this...
