u-he Colour Copy - public beta!

[glokraw]

Here's a couple of guitar presets,
totally untested on anything else,
for ambient leads. Re-name each .tar extension
to .h2p

as .h2p lacks enough clout to be uploaded

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

edit: The Memorial preset I uploaded apparently
consists of a loud/obnoxious delay, and Memorial 2 is
a basic slapback, it's not how they
were heard at the moment I saved them in win 7,
where they had a nice playable ambience, sans any
heavy delay. I was shocked when I played them
in linux, nothing like the original, and now the
'originals' in win7, have also become
the obnoxious twins
I tried today to reproduce the fiasco, but a smilar
saved preset made_today in win7- sounded the same
in both win7/lin.
The gear/software/settings were/are the same,
(only the reaper cores for fx rendering setting was different,
4 vs 7) separate drives, each with a different OS
...apologies to those
who downloaded the garbawwwggggeee sounds

I tried to re-capture the original idea.

edit 2: The attched preset expects a fairly clean
electric guitar input!
adding maybe a 'let's-get-lucky' pot-shot from
Protoverb, or a competing reverb.

Maybe just me, but I would love the main (green) window to change colour to reflect the chosen feedback colouration type. Good for visual feedback and general trippyoffyourtittiness. Love the vibes that this generates.

I agree, the colour wheel is pretty subtle,
easy to neglect what it's choices are capable of producing.
Cheers

edit: this preset expects an electric guitar input,
from clean, to crushed...

There's a peaceful tremolo preset attached,
I find it helps reduce fiasco-retention-syndrome
symptoms.

This preset adds some harmony, if not played
too frisky, but don't blame me, it's not my fault!
Somebody understands these things

This is a typical 'playalong' preset, the more interesting the sound
you feed it, the later you stay up playing around. Give CC a nicely sustaining high-gain amp preset, and give the same preset
to an ampsim like Destructor or Amplitube, and blend the tracks,
adjust regen, maybe freeze if you find a sweetspot.

Does anyone have a EH memory man that has compared to this? I've never heard a good enough emulation to old school BBDs so I'm curious.. I was planning on plugging my guitar to test it out but curious if others have already done it

Now I've made a comparison. In my opinion, the Colour Copy did very well. The most obvious difference is the saturation caused by the preamp in the Memory Man and the crackling sounds from the dusty pots. Hear for yourselves!

The first one is always Colour Copy. I used a big box EHX Memory Man from early 200x. Download on SoundCloud for uncompressed 48khz 24bit sound.

This is such a great suggestion! I'm all for it!

Sorry if this has been asked, but when is Colour Copy expected to be officially released? Would like to plan my economy a bit, but also don't wanna lose the intro discount opportunity

As usual, I don't give any guarantees on exact dates. But V1.0 is feature complete, in testing and I hope we'll get the version out officially within a month.

Thanks for the reply! Checked my finances today, and figured I could buy Colour Copy before the salary hits on Wednesday, so did

Another thought, this time from a guitar-y session - the lower reaches of the Mix knob aren't very subtle. It seems to go from "off" to "initial taps not noticeably quieter than the dry signal" immediately. I want to mix it so that the delay is just-audible, to sit back unobtrusively behind the dry signal (easy with my pedals). I'm finding this difficult. Setting the saturation knob differently doesn't seem to affect this behaviour.
Sure, I could put Colour Copy on a parallel channel, but then what's the point of a mix knob at all?

I would agree with this comment. Would like to see the Mix knob more sensitive at the lower reaches.

[glokraw]

Since feature-freeze is in place, how about some
flow charts that go into individualthe parts?
Like how a colour effects other parameters,
and relationships between various parameters
not in the direct flow path?
There's a lot to figure out, and to me at least,
basic usage could be made a lot easier.
I know you rightly love your preset browser,
but devoting six manual mpages for it, without any visual aids
for actually making some presets? Seems a little
Cheers

[EvilDragon]

The only visual aid that you need is already on the GUI?

[glokraw]

I'm inexperienced, slow, and forgetful. The gui is nice,
like a car can look nice, but under the hood...there's
a lot to process. Six of the thirteen labels on the chart
in the manual, aren't labeled by the same name on the gui.
Not that they _must_ be, but more details will be useful,
(yeah, full release is near, I'm just too I admit it! )
Cheers

Does Key mode work in FL Studio ?

In the works.

Another buy here.

And a wish i would have : )

As i am tweaking the delay just to get the things groovy, i also adjust "Rate" to a spezific value. Now when i get into jaming, i like to play around with the rate to get nice effects.

Now if you do a double click on rate, it resets to 12 o clock position. I would love if i could restore it then to my "spezific" value. Lets say i put rate to -0,17 where my perfect groove sits, it would be cool to be able to perform this via double click on rate, just to be able to return from my wild jaming back to my perfect groove setting.
