The Oddy-Free thread...

[Gucky]

I like the new version.
But I have a problem with the additional fxp presets.
When I load it the presets never stops playing.
Could it be that Oddy free sometimes not noticed the Midi key release information?

[sinkmusic]

the update to version 1.1 is up

Where do you find it ?
- the DC page doesn't say "v1.1"
- no link on the 1st page of thsi thread
- no link on your site...
?

[tekalo]

clink on the link on the DC page....the file has been updated!!!

[Chris Roberson]

Yeh, even though it hasn't been noted on the DC page, the update is available for download. The new compressed file should note that it is version 1.1 somewhere.


Also, major question to those with the "container" problem in your hosts:

Has that changed yet? The new version should say something like "Oddy-Free 1.1" instead of "container" or something like that.

----It reads "Oddy-Free 1.1 SynthEdit" here in FL Studio.

Yes. No more "container" in Reaper too.

Hey everyone,

hadn't heard any new developements in a few days, just wondering if you're all enjoying the update or have any more issues or problems?

I'm glad to hear that the naming problem has been fixed, and in regards to the presets you can probably silence them when the notes are off by reducing the "VCF gain" slider to nothing.

Hi Chris,
I am happy with version 1.1.
I hope that you can integrate in a new version
a complete presetbank. That would be great.

same here :
- happy
- wishing that every presets can be thrown in a single big bank

[Chris Roberson]

I can most certainly work on that.

Since we're on that subject though I could also use some help:

Are there any tools out there to help compile synth programs (fxps) into banks? I'd looked in the past but hadn't had any real results from that search. If there's anything out there to do that or if there's any easy way to compile them into bigger banks, please let me know, I'd be super stoked.

[sinkmusic]

Tobybear Minihost, afaik.
SYnthedit, too, i guess.

[Chris Roberson]

Synthedit will only output the 16 patch bank, as I am using the shareware version.

I'd tried Minihost in the past, and I could swear there was something about it that didn't want to cooperate in turning the 16 patch banks into larger ones, but I can't remember what. I may look into that again just to be sure.

If the plug uses FXP and FXB for it's standard, then do this

1. Create a cool patch.
2. on MiniHost, go to Presets, then Rename Preset. Give the preset a unique name.There are some conventions to naming, although no fast rule. I usually add a 3 letter prefix at the beginning such as PAD, LED, BAS, ect so it catagorizes the preset. At the end of the name, I put in my initials.
3. Then, on MiniHost, go to presets/Save preset. Fortunatly, it remembers what you named the presets as a file name, so you don't need to retype it( like you do on other hosts)Save the preset as an FXP. It might also be wise to create a new folder in the folder the plug is in, so you know where it is, and put any new presets there.
4. Once you get a bunch of FXPs in the folder, go to Presets/ Show Preset Manager
5. On the preset manager, select Load preset, and browse to your FXp folder with your newly created presets. Select ALL of them by hitting the first preset, then shift click on the last. Then go OK, and all of those presets will load into the bank.
6. Select Save bank, and give your bank a unique name.

There ya go.
