M3 Tests

When I go a bit deeper, it shows 'MultiSample', and when I bring up the zone editor I see the references to kick2.wav, snare.wav, and hh open.wav
(rather like a preset you may have created ?) - but where are those .wav files located ?

The samples were originally in different directory's but I used a nice feature of Mu.Lab where you can embed the samples within in the song. It's a function found from the main menu in Edit - Sample Manager.

Thanks for that !

I had occasionally played a little with Sample Manager - but had not experimented with 'right-click->embed' (or 'embed all', via the Options button). Great stuff.

Learning all the time !!

Here's another M3 MuSession. I got to fooling around with the nice little session that cytone posted. Ended up with something entirely different but using just the Mulab synths.

Here's the session download for M3 - called Shiny.

It is truly portable and less than half the size of the end result MP3 or OGG file.

preserving midi channels?

When I import midi files (general midi, ready to play e.g. in the media player),
I think all midi events will be send to channel 1.
I remember earlier discussions, where right behaviour should be:
With track target, the selected target channel is relevant,
but when using part target, the (original) part channel will be preserved.
Is this the way how it is implemented ?
Can I select a midi channel, when using part target (have not found it in the context menu)?

Awesome job

1) When importing a MIDI file, the channels are preserved. But the issue is whenever you choose another target module (short: target) for track or part, then the MIDI channel is reset to 1. In the next version, the MIDI channel will be preserved.

2) Yes you can choose a MIDI channel per part but only when the track is not defining the target and when the part already has a target module, i.e. you cannot choose a MIDI channel when a part is set to 'No Target Module'.

simple question:

how can I activate step recording ?
Step recording window is open, but when pushing record button (midi events),
then marker bar is progressing to the right as normal,
but I think only when hitting (and releasing) a key it should progress one time step.
What I'm doing wrong ?

You don't need to press the record button, just make sure the window is focussed, which is the case when you pop it up.

Oh yes, now I understand,
the step recorder window must have the focus,
then it works.

But this means,
- you can't use the virtual midi keyboard for step recording, and
- when clicking in the editor window, to choose a new position,
you have to focus the step recorder window again (to focus this window again).

right ?

That's correct. It's a consequence of how things work. It's a pity they can't be combined of course, but at the same time i do believe the way things work is ok. (i mean: the focus system)

If you want you can create a step sequence using the Sequence Editor of course, so there are ways to create the music

- when clicking in the editor window, to choose a new position,

Yes, which is ok, imho.

You could even use the focus to 'pause' the step recorder <-> focus away from it without closing it.

regarding step recorder:

it works fine,
only want to be sure that it works as intended on my system
and that I caught on to the principle.

Not a bug, I'm afraid -- but there is one simple usability feature I think would fit deliciously with the new multi-solo aspect of the solo system.

I constantly use the mute/unmute feature where you can toggle the mute status of as many tracks as you want by dragging over the track audio status icons. I reckon it'd be a convenient addition if ctrl+drag allowed you to toggle solo status of tracks in the same way. What do you think?

[MuTools]

It's a good idea and there is a note on the whishlist about this. (but there is a 'but' but that's for later)

[Eggu]

doc, chapter <sequence functions>:

Percent

For example: Factor = 150%, Reference 0 => Result = 0 + ((70-0)*150%) = 105
For example: Factor = 150%, Reference 40 => Result = 40 + ((70-40)*150%) = 105

last result must be 85, not 105
