Hello Modelonia User!

Modelonia VSTi is getting better and better,
version 1.7.0.1 has been released and it's already available to the registered user,

and you surely want to know:

What's New?

Sound Engine Update and Upgrade
1) Added an extra bank of 46 new presets, also redesigned Templates in the Sound Wizard
2) LFO Single Shot Mode added, it can be used as an extra envelope.
3) MIDI Program Change response added (with some limitations)
4) The Macro control is now automatable and linked to MIDI CC 45 by default
5) PitchBend response improved
6) Dynamic response and vibrato improved.
7) Fixed compatibily with NI Kore 2 and Ableton Live (possibly with other hosts too)
8 ) Dramatically reduced CPU usage

Utilities Update and Upgrade

1) Bank Rotate: all preset banks (FXB files) in the Data folder can be loaded by the GUI
with a single click
2) Skin Rotate: all skin sets (editor apperance) in the Data folder can now be loaded on the fly
with a single click (new skins coming soon, or make your own)
3) Refresh of program names has been fixed, both on host and Modelonia GUI
4) "Nusofting Data" folder (with skin bitmaps and presets)
can now be alternatively located where you like.

Known issues:

1) When using MIDI Program Change to Modelonia
not all parameters can be changed smoothly,
therefore depending on the preset a burst of noise may be produced.

2) Changing preset from the Modelonia GUI menu results in a delay of about
500 ms for the graphics to update.

3) The sound of Modelonia slightly depends on the VST Host SampleRate, so the new
bank has been designed at 44100 Hz, some of its presets may subtly change
when played using other SampleRate values.

4) Mono Legato mode can smoothly change pitch only if the current Preset allows that.

5) Old presets made with previous versions can be eccessively vibrato or too soft when played with this 1.7, but 1.2. and 1.5 are still avaliable for registered users.
For your old presets to be played in v1.7 the parameters to check and adjust are:
- Pitch Horn LFO send
- Lips A LFO send
- Both R+B sliders

6) The combi Windows Vista + Cakewalk P5 may crash while loading Modelonia, you need to disable the audio driver just while loading the plugin.

Things To Do:

1) We will do more presets
2) We must complete the Mac versions within the Summer

liqih,

I just PM'd you. Did not see this on your forum until now. I'll be happy to meddle about and make some presets for 1.7.

did you updated the NUSofting Data folder?

Karmacomposer · Post by **Karmacomposer** » Sun May 11, 2008 4:27 pm

I simply copied everything from the rar file over.

Is something missing from the rar file?

Where would the nusofting folder be?

I have the original modelonia 1.5 folder in c:\vst\modelonia

I copied the 1.7 files into that folder, used savihost to quickly run through it and got the skin.xml error.

I then copied the new beta to its own folder, ran savihost and same error.

savihost, which I copy to each folder, runs modelonia 1.5 just fine.

ok I see, you need the NUSofting Data into My Documents (this will change)
please try this skin location for the 1.7 beta
..\My Documents\NUSofting Data\Modelonia\skin

I figured it out.

It's MESSED UP, but I figured it out.

For whatever reason, in Vista, you HAVE TO make a NUSofting data folder in appdata/roaming/

and then copy everything to THAT folder as well.

However, it always starts minimized. Very very messed up.

I will try to see if it will run in administrator mode and stop this silly behavior.
