@MeldaProduction: concerning the (re)triggering options one small thing to make it more intuitive for sound designers to find the option.
You could change the name of this option from "MIDI RESET" to "MIDI RESET - (RE)TRIGGER".
So people who are used to this naming (like me

) will find the option without posting it as a feature request...

Ok, so about the "virtual keyboard" - I just checked and it seems just fine. Can you give more information about the problem?

MIDI reset renamed - well, it could be done, I'll check...

About the arpeggiator:

For velo-sensitive sounds (btw, imho any preset should be velo-sensitive*) one misses a lot of fine-tuning options to tweak the arp sequence right.

+1 absolutely! This would allow for much better results, much finer expression in any bassline or whatever one creates. In fact I was missing this already a lot of times when programming arps. Something similar to the step sequencer in the LFOs tab would be easy to implement, isn't it? (of course steps only, no other curve forms)

Well, sorry, no es possible

My former boss told me: if we talk about software, there is no "not possible"

I really don't see a reason why this shouldn't work.

Backward compatibility I'm afraid... And of course, there are way more interesting things to do

. You know, ARP is just a "simplification", if you want something crazy, you can always "play it"

.

agreed, but since it's still in beta phase, what the heck, no problem

Hm I guess there are many things to do, yes. But MPowerSynth is a cutting edge synth in many respects, so it would be nice if the arpeggiator is cutting edge as well

True, but an arp does not exist just for fun. You just get more creative with it.

So maybe you keep it at the very bottom of the to do list

BTW, if you want a general excuse for not doing something, just say "we don't have enough manpower/resources/funds"

Ok, so we don't have enough manpower!

To be honest, I don't even like the idea. Right now it's really easy to dial the velocity sequence. "Floating point" values would make everything unnecesarilly complicated and unfriendly, I like it the way it is now

.

CableChannel · Post by **CableChannel** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 12:20 pm

But the LFO step sequences aren't floating point either, are they? I guess they have 100 steps or so? Anyway, they are just as easy to use as the 4-steps patterns now I think. The step sequencer is really powerful because you CAN rasterize the y axis into as many steps as you like. That's the ultimate flexibility.

MeldaProduction · Post by **MeldaProduction** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 12:36 pm

Actually 100 steps means "true floating point"

. Anyway I'm afraid that's too late now...

Just a test: Does fxp-export and import (single presets) work for you?

Pls check with this file (s. attachement). Note that you have to rename its ending to "fxp" due to the upload restrictions of this board.

No no, please use info@meldaproduction.com and just select your folder in the preset window and click Export

.

I'd like to 'discuss' a single preset with the community because I have no clue why it's clicking and popping. It has nothing to do with your request for the beta-phase.

The need of exporting a whole folder is way too tedious because meanwhile it's filled with lots of WIP (work in progress). Therefore I'd like to test another option just for this purpose.

MeldaProduction · Post by **MeldaProduction** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 6:16 pm

Aaaaaah, you should have said that

. Ok, then please go ahead of course.

Hey, I avoid this problem by having an additional folder named export or temp or debug or whatever you like. If I have a preset that I want to export I resave it under this folder, export it, then delete it. It's quick and easy.
