Just tested version 0.50.
Bugs:
-----
Loading preset mechanism still looks confusing, since you've also added extra slots. When I reloaded my old gabberish kit, it always goes on the first block rather than the one I have currently selected. Also, when pressing SAVE button, does it save just the 'selected instrument' or the 'entire kit' or an 'entire bank of kits' ? (It's got to be more clearer. It's confusing.)
Also, reloading my bank still gets note 1 switched to instrument 12 instead of how it was originally saved. :\
Also, there seems to be a graphical mishandling when loading banks, sometimes the graphics change but don't match to the current sounds assigned to the notes.
Otherwise, here's a crap demo!

The copy/paste/load/save buttons is for individual patches. You can load/save kits or banks of kits under the file drop-down. I agree this needs to be clearer, will work on this for the next version!MaliceX wrote:Also, when pressing SAVE button, does it save just the 'selected instrument' or the 'entire kit' or an 'entire bank of kits' ?

Already got this on the listMaliceX wrote:Also, reloading my bank still gets note 1 switched to instrument 12 instead of how it was originally saved. :\

i think there is a bug with the filter display the peak will go out of the black screen onto the grey. i think it is pretty good d.s. i would like it to be sample based or atleasr have a foundation to build sounds from other than the presets, but i know you said you didn't want it to be sample based either way it sounds good. in standalone the full screen is cool to.

triple p: hehe, ok
any clues to what might have caused the crashes in the standalone?
Patch2006: Thanks for the kind words and the offer! At the moment I'm all set when it comes to beta-testers, but keep an eye on this thread, I might need more later on! Cheers, and again, thanks!

Yes, I think once the free version comes out or the demo alot of people will want it. if it is free, that would be great too. if it is a demo iw ill buy it because it looks very promising. peace man. also I like your web site stefan. it is very professional. I like the TB Emulation of the Roland TB 303 it is very cool.
good sound too!
good luck with the synths!

FWIW, the 303 thingy is not at all made by me
Nor is anything else, except for Anna, on the examples page
Thanks for your great feedback and PM though!

smackbox has been running quite smoothly for me! really would like to have more time to fully exploit it, but I did get excited enough with it to put together this little example
may not be the best illustration of the instrument (as I have run it thru several Live 6 fx as well as TBK3 and replicant )but it's what I ended up with once I put the crayons away
