yes it looks like i'm going to need to remove that (and the notelogic setting) from the parameters - make it a gui-only parameter.

I like the preset bank. Better than my detuning-duty cycle manipulating.

Aciddose,
but what does the name "Xhip" stand for?

Any new linux version out ? still i think it's a fabulous synth and we need to make it usable on jost and xt2.

Let me know when something is out for testing and debugging, latest version i've tried is crashing both hosts.

And how do you spell it? If I might add.

Bump for this. A high quality frequency splitter for modular hosts would be awesome!

http://xhip.cjb.net/xhip/faq/

i've already written a frequency splitter, however it will never be high quality

those plugins i said i could do, i also said (in a later post?) i need to get beta 7 out before i work on anything else.

as for xhip for linux, yes i've got it stable in both hosts in terms of the gui now, however i can not test the audio since i do not have audio on that machine. i'll need to put a soundcard in - or even better, download a ubuntu live-cd and run it on this pc. unfortunately i only have one harddrive here so i cant easily run a dual-boot.

i do have another pc i use in my shop for testing the electronic stuff i work on, i could just move that here, put an old ide drive in there and install ubuntu.

anyway, when i do that stuff i'll definitely let everybody know.

so far in testing i've found that most likely i'll need to completely redesign the gui stuff on linux and windows (the whole gui system) because of the changes to the vst spec on linux. it doesnt seem to work correctly with a focus locking gui. either that or i'll need to figure out a way to make it work.

Just in case you missed the existing splitter posted on what would the the page after the above quoted.

this is one i made quite a long time ago. i'll improve it later with adjustable band positions and so on.

Thanks again!

This synth would rock so much with one page gui and proper controls! A fabfilter syle plain gui with linear knobs showing value when moved would be killer.

aciddose · Post by **aciddose** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 7:22 pm

it already has controls showing the value when moved. knobs take up more space than sliders, and you should see that without using a ridiculously large gui it would be impossible to fit all controls on one window.

gsoto is already designing a mostly single pane gui for xhip, but there are more important things to work on first.

Yep its me again dude

This whole thing is kinda weird, on the one hand you clearly have a very capable synth but the majority of punters are crying out for a semi functional gui and yet on the other you have coding issues you want to resolve ...surely not helped by spreading your workload even thinner by trying to bang out a linux version. Very odd!
I seem to remember and I could be wrong (unlikely) that during the early phase gsoto was highly motivated to flesh everything out asap. His gui looked very promosing indeed albeit an ableton kinda of ripoff

however time passed and this is where we are now.
A synth with a very obscure gui that has become more unstable with time:(
Surely you owe it to yourself to get the show on the road and finally finish the synth?
When I say finish I don't mean lock the features.
By your own admission you know it wouldn't take more than a few solid days worth of coding, (yeah I know the final onslaught is the hardest) so man for f**ks sake go the golden mile before
its too late.

aciddose · Post by **aciddose** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:23 pm

aquar, you really need to code your own synth and then you'll have somewhat of a clue of what you're talking about

too late for what? to satisfy you?

oh no, my charity doesnt please aquar, boo hoo

if the synth is already good enough except for the gui, you should use it with your eyes closed.

MaliceX · Post by **MaliceX** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:49 pm

It's better than using a host-default GUI. Saw gsoto's WIP shots. Nice and clean.

XHip--Please finish your synth!!
