Damn! The 3D image looks sexy!

Can't wait for someone to make a hardware version!

Astralp,

Can you provide some info on the included samples? I realize that's not the main draw, but I was curious about them.

Andy, good news! Beta 18 works flawlessly in Live 8. Even better news is that I'm using Asio4All, which before was very problematic.

I'm even using multiple instances, which wasn't possible for me previously as every time I loaded BM it would crash.

I'm still not sure what the original issue was since I was the only one experiencing this behavior, but I'm glad its not doing it anymore.

BM is still a fantastic device and I hope you sell a million copies!

That's great news, thanks for reporting, and thanks for the link, Hopefully that is most of the bugs squashed now.

A million would be nice, at the moment I'd settle for 200 lol.

what a great job andy !

I'm able to load 2 instances with reaper and energy xt, but not with live 7.0.15: live close with " a serious error "

exept that, all works fine for me.

about the presets.
I find theme very good. the presets works fine with the sequencer, but I find theme a little hard to use like a traditionnal drum sampler for live use.there is a lot of compressor, and most of them have a high velocity. in my opinion , that's could be interesting for loops, but for playing in live situation, this sound a litle "overcompressed". of course that's really easy to change that with "global " and velocity from the section view. but maybe could it be interesting to make a better velocity for the preset. if I try the demo of a dum sampler, the first thing I do is to "play" the sampler with keyboard or padkontrol, without reading the manual.
I can edit the banks next week for your listening if you want
hope it helps a little.

i'm very impressed by your work. congratulations, really

hi Damien

Thanks, yes I see what you mean, I definitely think & developed it more from the loop creation side, I'll try and change my perspective and have a think about it, it is a very good point.

Could you scan through the log to see if there is any specific mention of BM when it crashed in Live?

I'm glad you like it, and thanks again for your Piano review!

Congrats on the release of Black Magic, Astralp!
Sure looks sweet listed on it's own KVR download page doesn't it?

Astralp · Post by **Astralp** » Thu Apr 09, 2009 3:32 pm

Thanks JDT, I didn't realise it was up, that's great

Congratulation Andy,

Black Magic is finaly out and it looks so good. Best wishes to you and all your projects.

Peace,
Alex.

Thanks Alex! It is still in beta, official release is in 3 weeks, but I think most issues have been addressed now. It is good to see it out there, it has been a very long development and had some high prices to pay, but at least it is out there at last

thanks for your help and support, same for all you beta testers!

Andy

no reference to BM in the log...that's very strange. I do a lot of try and just one time , I was able to load 2 instances

. I will try again later. anyway it works perfectly with a second plug named "black magic 2".dll

thanks for reading my suggestion , I believe it's could be important for some people.

Andy, do you want any dry loops recorded?

I've got a couple from when I was trying out the sample import. Mainly using Goldbaby's samples so they're all simple generic X0X based like this - Drum Loop

If you do, is there a quick way of setting everything to dry? If not I'll create an empty preset and start from there.
