Output Controls in Uhbik?

Hey Urs,

How come my sequencer can see an 'Output' control for the Uhbiks but there is no knob in the GUI?

Thanks,

Alex

He lost the knob under his couch. He promised to get it the next time he cleans his apartment which could be a while since he's so busy coding. But it's coming i promise you. At least that's what he told his girlfriend.

And how come the GUI has modulation and feedback toggles but the sequencer can't see them?

I'm mapping all my plugins to my control surfaces so having to switch back to the mouse is annoying!

thanks,

Alex

Yo,

From next version on all Uhbiks will have an Output dB slider (+/-12dB) and a soft bypass switch:

The Output parameter that the host can see is scaled linearly and is part of my engine... I wanted to get rid of it, but then left it in because some users thought it would be good to have. The +/- 12dB scale is much easier to control though and thus serves the purpose better.

The Bypass switch is important because unlike the plugin's normal bypass switch it smoothly fades between dry and wet signal over a fraction of a second. This prevents pops and clicks.

Regarding automatable parameters vs. non-automatable ones, I've become kind of notorious about keeping the count of automatable parameters low. That is so because some of my plugins have thousands of parameters and making them all automatable would have serious side effects. Naturally this isn't the case with Uhbiks which have only a few knobs and menus in general (not speaking of T patterns...). I might make up my mind and make them all automatable, too (bug me on this in case I forget) 8)

Cheers,

;) Urs

Hi Urs.. While we're on this subject.. And I don't know if this function has already been asked for, but.. Would it be possible to 'lock' parameters. So that whilst switching through presets they would remain set to what you want, at least the mix parameters would be a great help!

Thanks

Edit.. Nice improvements btw!! :)
One more question will the 'bypass' button be mappable?
:)

+1 for that.

Hmmm... havn't thought about locking parameters... hmmm... wouldn't be much of a problem, really... But! Using mechanisms that are already in place, the lock status wouldn't save with project... if that's not an issue, then it'd doable without too much pain...

Bypass and Output Gain can both be MIDI CCed as well as host automated. Of course...

That for me personally wouldn't be a problem.. As by the time I save a project, I'm usually close to where I want to get to.. It is more about during the switching of presets that I would find locking down parameters very helpful.

So.. Will you do it? Pretty please! :D

'Locking' parameters is a great idea... +1 :-)

This will be great but isn't it possible to get it as a knob so it looks more intergrated with the GUI? If not, please make them the same black color as the knobs or the display.

And is it possible to show the frequencies for Uhbik-Q in the display? if not could you make it an option?

Thanks

Bug bug bug!

Would love to have all parameters automatable for all Uhbiks. I've been mapping them out in templates in Kore2 and it would be really handy have access to the missing parameters.

Much thanks btw, these are sounding fantastic!

Yes, keep bugging me :)

I'll think about it.

The 2 main frequency knobs have been scaled by ear, I would have to actually measure the exact frequencies myself (well, I can use some math for that). If a readout like "9768,21 Hz" that jumps to 9773,57 Hz" and will never be "9770.00Hz" is okay for you, then I might be able to provide 8)

I thought we were talking about german precision here :wink:
