It actually wasn't a bad experience at all, less the hassle to wait/install/read up on PACE signing.

The overall port took about one week on and off.

No, tell them how you really feel!

Actually ProTools is a great system to work with... but I just hate their business practices/pricing structure. Please no plague for their customers (because I am one... just haven't upgraded to the latest and greatest, so no AAX for me).

No doubt. But it's yet another proprietary plugin format and the more formats there are the less time devs have to spend on the interesting stuff... parasitic drag.

I'll see what I can do.

What you describe is pretty much exactly what we have in mind. We're going to listen on individual MIDI channels, and have each channel have its own MIDI controllers. This will be regardless of poly/mono/duo settings. In Legato mode for instance you'll have up to 16 monosynths with the same patch. In poly mode you'll get 16 voices dynamically assigned to those 16 channels.

Nevertheless, our curent focus is AAX, then Diva 1.3 then Bazille. Until then we do not know exactly what's next and when.

Cheers,

That sounds fantastic. I'm also looking forward very much to Diva 1.3 and Bazille, so I'll just have to be patient for the midi features. I'm very pleased we are on the same page about that, even if it takes a while. The first batch of Touchkeys ship in January, it would be great if this midi multichannel functionality was ready by then.

While a lot about Avid sounds like corporate snafu, the people we deal with are quite phenomenal. We wouldn't do it if the people weren't great. They really care. Which is something that others have lost a bit.

I'm glad to hear that. For a while it seemed like it was going to be difficult for their employees to continue caring. I know around the beginning of 2010, it was certainly hard for me. I'm glad that has changed for the better.

I'm sure the Avid people are fine. I was just venting.

this may have already been mentioned, but I would really like a mute/bypass switch on each module of a modular synth. This is an aid to make sure that I'm hearing what I think I'm hearing and that a particular effect is coming from the module I think it is. In a complex bazille (or ACE) patch it would be great to be able to turn things on and off without disconnecting the patch cables, and in Diva (and Bazille), it would be great to be able to take the filter completely out (bypass rather than mute) without losing settings.

In other words - oscillators should have an on off switch, and filters and other processors a bypass switch, and maybe a mute switch too?

the FX units already have this, why not all extend that to modules?

Oh and the oscilloscope should be able to monitor any stage of the signal chain, not just the output.

for should read "it would be great if" but that's longer to type and clutters the explanation.

Btw, not sure if anyone has ever asked for this, so it may not be done

. But.
I never have used zebrify, zrev and zebralette and I am pretty sure I will never use them..... would love that the installers give me the option NOT to install them.

This is a really cool idea. Even for the majority without poly AT, this opens up a world of editing opportunities for expressive sound. And wouldn't this dovetail with Cubase's Note Expression? I'm just now reading about it, no experience with it, but it sounds really cool for composition and orchestration with softsynths.

Urs, +1 on the expansion of support to multiple midi channels as you've described. The discussion as I understand it has focused on polyphonic aftertouch and related from new keyboard controllers... Sounds like it will benefit those of us with midi guitar controllers as well. Thanks for all that you do!

Will there be Hermode Tuning or something similar in u-he synths some soon ?

We'll be supporting MIDI tuning so that one can e.g. use Hermode tuning in Logic, possibly other hosts.

Other than that I've been toying with the idea of a note weighing function, but d'oh...when...
