piz midi plugins (windows/linux/mac)

when retriggered, it'll always start in the right place. it would work kind of like the LFO, but with recorded midi as the "waveform", if that makes sense.

Yes but WHEN to retrigg? That time point can be determined only by quantizing the record-stop point- and that is buffer lenght quantization

[insertpizhere]

don't worry, i wouldn't make this without allowing CC control of the record toggle. you would select the quantization step, not just a fixed length. it could have both modes, but i would have more use for the midi-controlled one.

yes, start and stop point would be automatically quantized to make the whole recording fit into one bar (or two, or whatever).

at that point, i could even add time-based midi effects (swing/shuffle/groove) and it would make musical sense.

Wow, this plugin is going to be bigger than Zyklus!!!!

...How can we know when inspiration strikes and how long it wil last? It should be some kind of a counter that counts bars and beats for us WHILE we record and when we stop recording(not by stinking mouse but with sustain pedal of course because our right hand is still on a more usefull place- a midi keyboard!) counter stops and buffer lenght gets quantizied on nearest bar or beat. At the same time recorded loop is assigned to a trigger or a key or whatever controll-message.

Ok I see very true. Just figured it would be easier on Piz tis..

simple midi lfo looks great. haven't tested though.

let me know if you have any suggestions.

and keep in mind that you can automate the parameters with other LFOs... in the last update, the phase is updated continuously, and the control goes from -180 to +180. modulating the phase, offset, and amplitude should be a lot of fun.

actually, i forgot to upload that one. http://thepiz.org/xt/midiSimpleLFO%2020071024.zip

sorry about that. i fixed more bugs since then anyway, so here's an actual better version: http://thepiz.org/xt/midiSimpleLFO%2020071024.zip

this is great...thanks so much again...and again...

you seem to be reading my thoughts since you changed two things i was going to suggest you:

- instant phase change while on beat sync mode

- free running mode shouldnt be retriggered by midi notes


you said before that it wasnt working in ext v1.41 . here it works very well in v1.41 but that is in the vsti / vstfx version. still havent tried it in the standalone version. the issue with opening the plugs gui and modulation stopping seems to have gone away....

i still have 2 suggestions though :

- after using the lfo in "real" situations ive came to the conclusion that i would still need slower modulations...
32 bars . i also miss some freqs: 12 bars, 6 bars, 1.5 bars and 1.5 beats ...

- the triangle waveform is a bit weird ... its not like a sine equivalent. i wish it was like the sine ...phase wise. since one pics is worth a thousand words;



so...whats the ideia behind this?...the ideia is to be able to change between sine and triangle (to see what fits best for the desired effect) and not having to make phase adjustments.

if any of this suggestions goes against your original concepts ...just ignore them...

its the second time i try the lfo...and its the second time i go to bed at 10:00 am .... hours and hours of pleasure, listening to beautiful modulations....even if midi only allows 127 values...

midipads: is it possible to add cc off aven for the x value. it's useful to control buffer override or xy based effects, the cc off sets the origina position when the pa is not touched.

if possible, add midi learn for midi external triggers.

what i meant was that meters other than 4/4 aren't detected in energyXT's sequencer. other than that, all my plugins should work fine in 1.4.1 since that's mainly where i test them.

no problem. any others? i'll throw in 24 bars just in case.

yes, i've been meaning to change that. thanks for reminding me.

the only other thing that bothers me is that if you start the LFO in the middle of a bar ( or whatever the selected frequency), the phase won't be right until the next bar. i need to make it always start in the right place. then i think this will be done, and i will have figured out beat-syncing so i'll be ready to start on the midi looper.

i've been planning to add this.

i should add learn for the trigger and for the x-cc. i think i'll do it with keyboard modifiers (like shift-middle-click for trigger, alt-middle-click for x-cc) and menu items (maybe "Learn Note/Y-CC", "Learn X-CC", "Learn Trigger").

also, would it be better if the menus stayed open instead of closing after editing one value? then you'd have to click outside of it or press escape to close it. i think it would be better.

adding "cc triggering" with learn (it's the same of note triggering but with cc's: an incoming cc can move the dot of the specified slider\pad) the midipads becomes an inerface for almost all midicontrollers on the market!
