I did also like that the video didn't edit out the pauses and the mistakes (like not quite selecting the right set of things and having to do it again) - it gets a much more "real" flavour of using the tool across and helps build confidence as the viewer can see they don't have to get it "right first time" for it to work.

For a very new user, I think some "thought bubbles" and pauses would help, along the lines of "Oh, well now let me see what it sounds like if I ...", so the viewer knows why something is being done beforehand, rather than having to hope to understand from seeing the result. But that's a fair bit of extra work. I certainly thought things like pointing out the differences between shared copy and separate copy were done well.

This new version fixes an issue in the step sequencer arpegiator mode.

If you already have installed the MuLab 7.0.32 package or up, then you can apply this quick app patch:
http://www.mutools.com/mulab/app-patch/index.html

I notice that there is actual MUX .36 version too here. great, so i can test. full download of MUX can reach when press button MUX but how can get newest update file, so need not download all ?

I see problem in step sequencer that when use modulate pitch bend for example default mod group A is set. when change knob for CC value % of MOD A to lower value even 0% pitch bend can not reduce. pitch bend modulate sound really very good btw. good when change easy with diffrent strength too

To be honnest i don't understand your question, i'm sorry. (i'm afraid it's a language issue)
If you're asking how to update to MUX VST 7.0.36 then the answer is here:
http://www.mutools.com/mux/app-patch/
That's assumed you already have installed M7.0.32 or up.

I see problem in step sequencer that when use modulate pitch bend for example default mod group A is set. when change knob for CC value % of MOD A to lower value even 0% pitch bend can not reduce.

Indeed the Mod Control is not yet applied to aftertouch nor pitchbend events. Added that in the next version.

Again: Note that if you did not yet install MUX VST 7.0.32 or up, then you can't use that app patch but you need to install the full MUX VST package from http://www.mutools.com/mux-downloads.html

There is a new MuLab 7.0.38 with these changes since M7.0.36:

Step sequencer: MIDI CC pane: The Mod Groups are also applied to aftertouch and pitchbend.
Audio recording: Added a new "Auto" channel mode. In case of using direct audio inputs, this results in mono recording when only a left/mono input is selected, otherwise stereo.
Disabled a redundant project switch wrt audio recording. (in some cases, when using existing projects, this project switch could cause confusion)
When switching between editor windows and other apps, now switching back to a VST editor auto focuses the VST editor itself. This is related to using key shortcuts.
When a VST editor requests a window resize to make the window smaller, then it could happen that the top control panel (with MuTools' open/save/option buttons etc) was not fully visible anymore. Fixed.

The new M7.0.38 app patch is available here: http://www.mutools.com/mulab/app-patch/index.html

Thanks for the new update!

magicmusic · Post by **magicmusic** » Tue May 17, 2016 5:46 pm

thanks, the CC % work now with pitch bend. the keys that switch patterns do still start sequence. This only work good, when transpose is off and arp is off. but when transpose is on or arp is on, then it need deactivate to work good. Should i do a video that show what i mean ?. even when pattern switch key is very short(i use midi keyboard pads to switch), there can happen bad sound, of low notes, and in transpose mode, it switch to root note after a short press. so trigger with pattern change keys sequence should only work in non transpose and no arp mode

Check Step Sequencer -> Options -> Edit Properties: Is "Pattern Notes = Select & Play" enabled? You can disable it if you want. It's enabled by default.

Yes please, thanks.

Please also include this in the video as i'm not sure what you mean. Thanks.

ok thanks, switch off Pattern Notes = Select & Play help. I switch it in all step sequencers off, give best results.

I can't repeat that. What steps/settings do i have to do to repeat that?

magicmusic · Post by **magicmusic** » Wed May 18, 2016 6:24 pm

it work ok, when Notes = Select & Play is off. should it work when arpegiator is on and with Select & Play is on ?. if it should work i can send video that show it, and the demosong. it use 4 step sequencers and is wire as realtime accompany. but can hear with 1 step sequencer enable too

Haven't followed this properly but could it be that the pads on the midi keyboard are set to trigger notes as well as just the patterns. Maybe limit the velocity on the pads to 1 so the low note can't be heard or filter out the notes that the pads are triggering.
Or maybe I should read the whole thread
