CK_Modules (SE) VST/FX now Freeware

[C.Kerry]

I notice when the "recording on button" in Polystep is press, and transpose midi channel is set diffrent to off, recording do not work.

If the Transpose Midi Channel is the same as the MAIN Midi Channel then they will conflict.
The TX Midi Chan can be anything OTHER than the MAIN Midi Channel and you can RECORD Notes without problems.

I see when i use playlist, every time i press play it begin on 0. Is this on your system same ?. I see this problem on many many sequencer. without playlist it is possible to start play at the measure.

The playlist will begin at the start (STEP #1) when Host Play is pressed.

Do you think it is possible with the formula in earlier post i write, every time a note or program change come, calculate the delay time of this event, so event is delay to next measure ?. maybe you can release that too, so other can try. best is use such a measure quantize delay only in a specific key range, for example lower octave to trigger or transpose sequences.

Actually Delayed Note (Next Step) recording is supported in my module, I just didn't add that mode in the PolyStepSequencer because i thought it was complex enough already. I can add it back, the Record Mode is not essential in the Presets anyway.

As for delayed program changes - I am considering it, that modification is a significant change to the VST and as I said before I need to hear from others requesting the same feature to justify the work to implement it (I will need to write at least one new module to do that)

Poly Step Sequencer
====================
I spotted a problem when loading old presets - the Note colour changed back to Red, this is down to how SynthEdit handles presets. I have made a 'patch fix' by forcing the colour to be Yellow in my custom module.

I also added the 'Next Step' recording Mode - this might be disabled if you load an old preset - again down to restrictions of SynthEdit i'm afraid - I can't add a patch fix for this.
'Next Step' recording mode is the same as 'Pos' but places the notes on the Next Step to the one highlighted during recording.

You can download the update now (v2.11a)

Hello Chris

I couldn't notice as I didn't yet have any presets saved with the plugin (I experiment for the moment, to discover it quietly).

But thank you for that unexpected work!


It's appreciated, you know!

[magicmusic]

Looks great, especially the yellow

As far as all those posts by Magicmusic are concerned, is he saying that something in the plugins does not work as they should? Frankly, I don't quite understand those posts...

I hope Chris understand what i mean. english is not my native language. I report some not working, and some ask for feature(or if can work with his midi delay module here.

this s standard in hardware Synth world. But i can do Videos to show what i mean. Chris let me know.

I know what my own modules do, thanyou! I did write them you know

Seriously, I have added the 'Next Step' note recording feature to Poly Step Sequencer - read my post above.

I also made comments about Preset Delay.
The issue is I need more requests from other users otherwise it simply is not something that most people want, so it would not be worth the time and effort to add it - unless you want to pay for the whole development time of course

[magicmusic]

If you tell what it cost, to build a Midi Delay to next measure, delay to next beat of program change messages and Notes messages, then can see if it is payable.

Then we can open a thread and see if there are more users out that need that feature and so the costs need not 1 person pay alone. I can pay additional 30 GBP(10 GBP i donate to you btw)
Also it is not 100% clear, if there is maybe a VST out that can do it. maybe i should first open a thread and ask if there is a VST or synthedit module here that can do this and show the examples for what it is usefull. I first ask you, maybe you like this feature for yourself too.

[fluffy_little_something]

I think it might make more sense to include a ratchet mode It sounds pretty good with the TubeOhm sequencer.
But then again, why develop something further now that you don't even get paid for it anymore?

CK: I hope some will appreciate what my VSTs offer and consider donating

I guess the problem with your stuff was that few people really knew about it You should have been on KVR more often, added little features here and there, and thus bumped your stuff into people's awareness regularly

Thank you for your donation, I did notice it.

The 'Note Delay' has already been added - it is called 'Next' in the recording mode options meaning notes are delayed to the 'Next Step' - download the latest version and try it for yourself. Maybe I could expand those modes to record Notes only every 4th, 8th or 16th Steps.

Things that sound easy when you say them are actually much more complex than you could imagine e.g. saying delay something to the next measure - StepSeq and PatArp only know when the next 'Clock' event happens, they have no idea about measures/time signatures etc at the moment, so a whole logic circuit to work out the position would need to be added etc.
It's not impossible and someone building a NEW Arp/Sequencer could add that feature, but we are talking about VSTs that have been around for several years, so maintaining backward compatibility is a very important issue in this case, and that is very tricky with SE projects.

I do not mean the recording mode. The feature is also in ableton live in. Here it is called Clip quantisation. (clips they called sequences, the can trigger with a Note). This mean a clip is start only when next bar or next measure is reach. so you need not press the Key on Keyboard exact on next bar or next measure. this make live playing easy and fun.

I have link to the Halion manul before, here it is also explain. with loop change, they mean the sequence is change(transpose etc)

A seperate Midi VST that do this quantisation is also ok. I can connect it before your sequencer or arp in MUX. this midi VST send then notes and program changes (delay them) to your sequencer only depend on setting next bar.

but here i copy the text. maybe it is more clear what i mean.

Trigger mode
The Trigger mode defines when the FlexPhraser scans for
new keys you play on the keyboard.
You can select one of the following options:
Option Description
Immediately
The FlexPhraser scans for new keys all the time. The loop
changes accordingly to your playing immediately.
Next Beat
The FlexPhraser scans for new keys upon new beats. The
loop changes accordingly to your play on each new beat.
Next Measure
The FlexPhraser scans for new keys upon new measures.
The loop changes accordingly to your play on each new
measure.

Oh, then why not just use Ableton?!! My VSTs only affect the timing of RECORDED notes - playback is totally linked to the host - so I don't know what you are discussing now.

I think we are exhausting this issue now. I've tried my best to help but building a new custom VST for this feature is not something I have time for right now.

If you want to build a midi Note/Program delay VST to link before other VSTs then feel free to download SynthEdit and build one. That is what SE is good for - building stuff only you need

Everybody should be already very happy that Chris has the kindness to provide them now for free. Ask for little enhancements can be understood. Ask for totally new features and needing huge modifications of the code seem a bit indecent now that these tools are offered for free.

I only ask. And if you say you dont want do it, its ok. I am happy that your se/arp VST can change with program switch the pattern.Many can this not(i find only kirnu cream that can do this too). I want not play the same sequence pattern all the time.

But if you tell something that sound as you not understand what i mean(problem is also, my english is not good), i explain more so that you know what i mean. thats all. I open then a thread later here, so more read it. Maybe there is such a VST out, under all the much VST. I like this feature, but i dont want buy a arranger keyboard, or a Yamaha MOTIF, or ableton live, or Halion, or Omnisphere. And because some have this feature, i thought there are enough that like this feature and so i can find.

CK: It's ok no problem. I haven't given up on the idea of Delayed Program Changes in these VSTs - it just needs more thought and more support. If you can show that enough people want it (10+) then I will do more work on it

Chris, I want to thank you for
Multiband_proc_fx...
it's very good for making ambient music

CK: Cheers!

I don't even know what you mean, but have you tried TubeOhm's sequencer? It has lots of features and is available separately now:

Pattern Arp Plus BIG GUI
It's 'hot off the press' so let me know if there are any problems

PatArpPlus_BIG_GUI.png

I had to rebuild the entire PatternArp GUI so the styling and layout is different but the essence is the same
The elements use similar/same styling as PolyStepSeq since that had positive feedback

*NOTE: 'Pattern Arp Plus BIG' and 'Poly Step Seq BIG' are now Donation Ware.
You don't need a Keycode to use them, but a 'nag' screen will appear when first loaded.
Existing customers are not affected.
