thanks a lot.

i haven't gotten it to crash or block any notes, but i'll try to clean it up today and see if that helps.

as far as the actual effect goes, it sounds okay? is "shape" useful?

piz Amount works perfectly. Shape does not seem to do anything for me

Only if I turn down the note value to 8 do I get anything.

Also wondering what Reserverd is for??

Thanks again

i'll make some examples showing how "shape" should work. it can be subtle. that and the 8 or 16 setting could possibly have no effect depending on the input pattern.

"Reserved" is where i might put options to affect other midi events besides just notes.

i'm figuring something out right now... hopefully i can upload an improved version soon.

midiSwing update:
http://thepiz.org/xt/midiSwing.zip

i fixed some bugs and increased general robustness. seems to work right for me.

here's a small illustration of "shape"...

i played four consecutive 16th notes, with 8th note swing applied. in both cases, the note on the 8th note division is delayed by the full amount, but when "shape" is at 0, the two notes adjacent to it are also delayed by a smaller amount.

Yikes! In FL8 the new version makes some serious CPU spikes and also if you shift the amount too fast it makes notes stick.
I compared both versions and the older one does not do the same thing. Definatly something to look at.

now each instance takes 3% of this p4 3.2 ghz, the first version took 0.2% . i would really like to use 16 instances per track

.... also there are two shape sliders, and one doesnt show any values. ive tried it in ext v1.4.1.

it looks like this, here:

besides notes it would be cool if it swung notes+CCs ...and also a third mode; all midi messages.

about going silent before...im starting to think that it was my asio drivers fault.

thanks for the feedback.

i've been working on it, and i think i fixed some things:
http://thepiz.org/xt/midiSwing.zip

should have lower CPU usage, and not have stuck notes when changing Amount from 0 during a note. and the "randomness" parameter is labeled now.

it can be optimized further, if necessary...

if this doesn't fix the problems in FL8, i'll have to get the demo and try it.

i'm planning to do notes+CCs mode, maybe not all messages but we'll see.

also, just wondering...

what for? different notes? different channels?

still 3.0% cpu use. ive flushed the dns cache.

oops...by "track", i mean a song...sometimes a call a song, track . i might need to use even more than 16.

hmmm... it's definitely better for me. does it have a "Randomness" parameter instead of a blank one (or second "Shape")? if not, try this link: http://thepiz.org/xt/midiSwing20080822.zip

either way, i'll optimize it some more.

Optomadic · Post by **Optomadic** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 9:03 pm

No more spikes over here either! Also the stuck notes now is also gone.. The last version you posted has the Randomness parameter..

everything is working great! 0.2% cpu use again!!
