Yeah rompler is the word i was trying to think of.

Yeah it was a fresh project each time, i usually start with an empty project and save when any bugs occur in a bid to be organized.

Just got an Access Violation message in FL whilst changing the preset via the FL wrapper button, dudn't crash but everything froze up and i had to force quit.

waqs it one of the copied default patches, maybe I didn't re-initialize them, although I thought I had. The change in velocity storage was a big change so any remnants from the old method can cause problems, I'll check it out now.

It was with beta 5, i'll try the latest an post back.

Hang on, 2 mins, I've just seen some remnants to fix, the default and randoms can cause a crash, new version coming shortly

Ok, just got a crash in FL when i tried to load an instance.

Ok Beta 7 is up!

Just tested in Cantabile on my laptop and seems more stable but the keyboard notes on Vortex appear to remain latched once i've triggered a sequence from the laptop keyboard which is what was happening before only now the sequence doesn't continue playing.

I tried it with Cypher but the sequence eventually became stuck again while editing the velocities and CC sequencers which also started to behave erratically, not sending the relevant value in the sequencer lane.

Also in FL i routed an instance into Diva demo which triggered the first few notes and then started playing a very short stuck note repeatedly for a few seconds removed the instance of Diva nd reloaded it but the same thing occured. The Vortex sequencer is jumping around randomly while nothing is playing but when i press play back it resets and the same thing happens again with Diva, plays the sequence then plays a short gated tick and then silence. Tried several different presets and changing sequence, same thing.

Loaded an instance in Maschine on my desktop and loaded the synth preset, triggered sequence C but as soon as click on the plugin edit button Maschine freezes and locks up. Has done it twice now.

Something else i've found is when doubling the sequence the velocity steps aren't duplcated and the second part of sequence plays differently. Also sometimes when i d input a 2 bar long note the vortex sequencer ignores the sequence gate of 16 steps and plays for 32 steps. Think i had a similar issue with Arp.

Also, all the pan knobs appear to be inverted; pan left and the sound is coming out the right speaker. Now i've started to play with the synth and fx bit i'm starting to dig it.

But will the mouse be the only way to input sequences into Vortex?

I'm having trouble duplicating any of these issues, double works with velocity, I fixed that yesterday. By 2 bar long do you mean 2 steps? I've tried it at 2 steps and 32 steps and it seems to work correctly.

Pan is fixed in the next version

Glad you like, it's becoming quite a music making machine, especially once the drums are sorted and the presets are done!

The trouble with entering notes via cc like in ARP is that until I figure out how I'm going to do the polyphonic sequencing, it's tricky. If I opted for polyphonic notes on the main display, how could you control more than one? But, I am more leaning towards the idea of having multiple sequences attached to each note, so polyphony is possible but also lots of other options like chaining sequences or splitting sequences between octaves etc... In the latter case I could use CCs as a controller for what is currently being edited. I'm also worried about assigning CCs yet as there are so many things they could be useful for, and there aren't that many, I've already used up most NRPNs for the mixer. For instance control over the coming CC knobs might be more useful, what do you think?

music making machine haha no pun intended

It's looking good

. I think trying this in different hosts is the way to go.
Seems quite stable.

I have one issue apart from the difficulty in deleting notes from the sequencer is actually inserting notes. Even double clicking doesn't seem to work.

I was wondering if you are going to have a swing function like ARP?

Astralp · Post by **Astralp** » Thu Feb 02, 2012 2:51 am

Oh sorry I forgot about that one, do you think the double click speed needs slowing down?

It's certainly getting there in terms of stability on my machine at least, haven't noticed any major problems today beyond the GUI issues

Swing is a strange one because everything runs at different tempos it complicates things on that front, I had swing in initially and took it because swinging at different tempos at the same time sounded awful. I will look into it again at some stage, I think the best solution would be to just swing a single tempo.

I think that would be more important than the swing function. I've tried inserting notes in ARP 1.7 and it works.
