however, can anyone explain how the keytracking is supposed to work? i didn't look at the videos yet, do they contain an example of that? i know what it's supposed to do, i just can't do it - probably something i didn't understand correctly.
you trigger a pad with one of its trigger notes, if KEYTK is on you can user the upper keys (see KeyMap) to change the pitch

yeah, that's how i thought it should work - but either i am doing something wrong or it doesn't work on my computer in xt 1.4 - i'll try in bidule.

Confirmed.

About keytrack, turn up 4 x 1 decay. Alternate hitting Bass drum trigger (mixed PCM - VCO, long decay also) with C4-ish thru C5-ish. Anything, fabi?

thanks.

found another bug - be careful with your speakers, though.

set the bass drum tone all the way up. turn velocity sensibility off. hit c3 repeatedly - you should get the occasional +22db spike. maybe DC offset or something?

at least in bidule and xt that's what happens.

yes DC offeset, needs a filter which I will add next days

resuming we still have to do:

DC filter
fix hit button off
fix switches randomization
set B samples
default.fxb

BDM Manual is 99% ready,

what else?

what about the pan knobs not having any effect when 'power' is off? will it be mentioned in the manual only, or will there be a hint on the GUI, too?

I guess it's not that important - thought I'd mention it again since you'd asked.

liqih · Post by **liqih** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 10:46 pm

it seems to me (but I could be wrong , <grin>) that is a standard behavior of a mixer: the Pan affecs only the stereo out, the mono outs are pre-pan,
and Power in BDM affects only the stereo Out,
so maybe you want the Power to turn off the mono outs as well?

fabi · Post by **fabi** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 10:49 pm

nah, if it's standard behavior keep it the way it is.

Wasn't there talk early on about possibly including some broken .mid files?

If there is still interest, feel free to open F_209_BDM.MID in eXT, routing both drums and bass to 2 x BDM using blortblort's kits. Sending that combined audio to JB Broadcast should result in something like F_209_BDM.mp3, no other effects or instruments were used. All I did was ride the Master Chaos fader(s).

Any bass track from any .mid sent to BDM can be shifted up a couple or few dozen semi-tones to change things up a bit.

Dec.07 beta's Hit Button release by MIDI is still "broken", but only if the master chaos is above 50% (as fabi noted previously).

I said early on that I could make some midi files emulating the patterns on my yamaha PC-100 and casio PT-1. I can still do that if anyone wants, but they wouldn't be broken, just some cheesy toy keyboardish midi files.

If you post some, I don't mind having a go at breaking them <grin>

I see Liqih posted a Salsa/Cha Cha midi file in this thread http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=199112

If anyone knows where to download old cheesy auto-accompaniament/rhythm tracks (or whatever they're called) please let me know.

Edit: Doh! I forgot I've got a QY70

I'll have to see if I can rip the rhythm tracks off there and mess around with them, if I can find the serial to midi lead.

what else?

Currently there is no graphic indication wether miss-triggering is on or not ( I know second half of Master chaos = on ) but, some LED on the GUI indicating this would be useful. ( Consider that most people read the manual only if they run into a problem!, that is why I think all features should be visible from GUI. )

Personally I do not like the way miss-trigerring is controlled right now. I would prefer having the master chaos slider doing only chaos, and having miss-trigerring on/off assigned to a midi note. ( To me this seems to make more sense from a performance point of view. )

+Note Naming is still missing.
