taron's little sessions

[MuTools]

Jo, your page is really helpful for this purpose. Is it possible for you to create a youtube channel to upload future videos of MuLab by users and you?

There already is a MUTOOLS YouTube channel:

I will post more videos when i can. In fact i'm still looking for a way to optimize the screencasting process. At this moment i'm prioritizing finishing MU.LAB 3.1. One last test version (3.1.3) coming asap.

When someone thinks a certain video could be on the MUTOOLS YouTube channel, feel free to mail me about it. Preferrably neat hi-quality videos in 1280x720 HD format. Tip: To specifically set MU.LAB's main window to 1280x720:

* Quit MU.LAB
* Open Mulab/User/Settings/Mulab.txt
* MainWindowRectangle=50,50,1272,692
* Save+close, and run MU.LAB again

The "50,50" are the x and y coordinates and can vary, it's especially about the 1272,692 which is the width and height of the workspace of the window; together with the titlebar and borders that gives 1280,720 (using LooxPhat, as it also depends on the "CustomWindowFrame" format)

MISSED!

And another one... just played around with my "piper" and a pad with mod.wheel controlled frequency of a pitch lfo.

Amazing .. looks like with the pipes on WestAfrican rythme pieces
Sounds like a hollow woodblock
But mulab has a polyrythmic loop feature ?
So there must be more possible with the two pipes and tribal music ?

Thanks

[MuTools]

Thanks to MU.LAB's independent sequence loops you can indeed create mindblowing poly-rhythms!

[Taron]

I'm blushing here, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "independent sequence loops"? Is it as obvious as it sounds, or is it some wild feature that I yet have to discover?

[MuTools]

I mean the sequence loops that you can set inside the seuqence editor.

One can be 3 beat slong, another 4 beats long and another 10 beats long etc.

Playing that together results in polyrhytmic patterns.

[Taron]

Ah, funny, I've just made a track at 6 beats per loop in my last little test with 3.1.4, I think. The snippit called "hollow".
Kinda interesting.
You've implemented it so elegantly, that it feels perfectly natural. I'm sure I havn't taken full advantage of it, yet. Neat. Thanks for clarifying!

Just listening to "Birds of Io" ... that's one of the most brilliant tracks ever. I know, it's not the latest news, just today I was listening again... and again... and again.

AHHH, Thank You!!!
My god, I should ask what's new, haha... if I hadn't found your message in my email notified I would've almost forgotten...eh...I probably shouldn't say that. Well, just as I had predicted, though. I'm bouncing heavily from one thing into another. Right now I'm writing a network painter with a dear friend of mine. Havn't made any music for a while again.

Thing is, unless something keeps me glued with some sense that things will remain on an exciting course in any near future, I'm around, but in any other case it's tough... ...and I kinda went astray from mulab, too, which was a little too much fun, but I'm just a sucker for inventive synthesis or open enough to do wilder stuff. Once the painter has been advanced enough, I might actually go very wild and ...eh... uhm...play again with MU.LAB, hoping things have advanced comfortably and our local genius has made some happy leaps!

You made me listen to my own tracks again, haha, I do like the sound of MU.LAB, though. Very round.

Thanks again!

im a big fan of your stuff man. you put some good work into those sounds! highly stylistically developed! and your other essential skills as a writer sound amazing too. i know you have work somewhere out there? maybe hollywood? props. i bet you like boards of canada, huh?

hey wanna collab? sorry, that was obligatory. wishful thinking there.

[MuTools]

+1

I also appreciate your creative skills, Taron!

Your creativity with MU.LAB is absolutely another big motivation in pushing MU.LAB to a higher level!

MU.LAB 4 is being developed these days, and i'm sure it will be a nice new version (i'm not yet communicating details now, that's planned for when M4 goes into test).

FYI: M4 Development has been slowed down a bit by the fact that i have been making music a lot these last months, because a good friend of me and i restarted a musical project we had many years ago. Now we are remaking a selection of tracks we made in the past using equipment like TR909, TR808, JX3P, Korg Mono/Poly, SH101, ... It's about music made just before computer sequencers were available. So it's a big challenge to remake everything. And it must be really good because we have 2 gigs in front of us

Of course this whole musical project is a mega test case for MU.LAB as everything is done with MU.LAB. (with the use of a couple of extra VST plugins). And it's all done on both OSX and Windows, so also a great test case for MU.LAB's multi-platform-ness.

Doing all this also gives me back the feel of a musician, and all what's essential when creating/producing music. So maybe M4 coding is a bit slowed down by this (though keeping a fresh head is a gain too! (avoiding tunnel-vision)), but at the same time the feedback i get from this project is essential and very much worth it, imho

I'm greatly motivated regarding M4 and very much looking forward to open it to you all. Still some work to be done though. At this moment working on the support for much richer Play Editor panels for the MUX. (FYI: In M4 MUX and MuSynth have merged)

Anyway, looking forward to your new creations!

Enjoy making music

WAY TO GO! That's excellent news! I mean, that you're making music. I can't develope anything whole-heartedly unless I'm actually doing something with it, so I firmly believe that you're doing the best thing possible right now. Congratulations! And I'll gladly be with you, once things startup again. All the Best Wishes for your project, too. Don't forget to share some taste of your tracks with all of us!
And THANK YOU, of course!


DIGIT, I've been working in Hollywood for over 10 years, but eventually had enough and moved back to Europe, while I still do the occasional job for the industry over there. However, it's always been visual effects and only once a little song for an independent movie "Reeker", playing on the radio in one of the scenes.

I don't mind a co-lab at all. If you want to get started and push it over, I'll see that I pick it up!
Thank you, for sure, I'm very flattered and happy. Gives me good strength to hear!

Great!

once things startup again.

Just to avoid any confusion to anyone: M4 is being developed right now, it's not that the MU.LAB project has paused, not at all!

All the Best Wishes for your project, too. Don't forget to share some taste of your tracks with all of us!

Ok, with pleasure. Once these tracks are finished of course. That's in a couple of weeks.
