This makes sense. I understand where you're coming from. I hope the basic editing functions can be implemented in new versions. My problem was/is that someone who bought a few libraries like for instance Ircam Solo Instruments (over £300) now has to pay for Mach 3 (also over £300 isn't it?) just to be able to apply some basic attack and release to the sounds. Why not just include these simplest of all editing functions to the new player? Sure you can still use the old player, but do you really think anyone running a completely 64bit setup would want to revert to 32bit mode, or a 32bit bridge, just to be able to slow the attack on one instrument? I hope it's updated soon as I went from being a huge fan of the UVI stuff to really resenting what happened and not ever using it any more.mdsp wrote:I am the one who advocated for simplifying UVI Workstation 2 toward loading and playing UVI instruments because it's vocation is to be a player for our own soundbanks.
Please let me try to explain the design decisions and flame me if you think I deserve it.
We heard the critics on forums about UVI Workstation v1, being too flashy, hard on the eyes...etc and we tried to make it more neutral to give focus on content (i.e. soundbanks) and more specifically the new scripted instruments that have dedicated interfaces (http://www.uvisoundsource.com/images/Image/articles_divers/EmulationII/cap_emu2.png). Those new instruments required us to reorganize the user interface: we introduced the Single page and took the opportunity to streamline the workflow and simplify daily usage.
In the aim of simplifying the usage for our customers, we choose to hide Hard Disk browsing in our internal FileBrowser so that all the vertical space is dedicated to soundbanks and search, users with lots of soundbanks appreciate. Note that loading of external loops and audio files is still possible by Drag & Drop, it's still there but less emphasized. But It looks like hard disk browsing is important for our customers, so it will be back in the next version.
About the Edit panel:
Our engine is modular and a fixed panel cannot match the diversity of structures and controls that are available in our instruments.
This is the reason why we introduced macro controls and scripted instruments in the first place.
But we heard the comments about the lack of editing and are actively working to provide a default editing panel.
I hope this is clarify things, don't hesitate to ask questions if not.
oh and that folder search option. drag and drop is so tedious!!!!!
