New Release by SzcZ: Cracklefield

Meanwhile at the drawing board...

That sounds great!

Actually, what it makes me want to do is to record a song’s worth of that, and then figure out how to play the same thing by hand on a real piano.

[Zombie Queen]

Playing by hand would require 4 hands as there are 4 cursors running and could be impossible at times as this is just a machine thing. If any Cracklefielder would like to try out beta-testing the update, mail me.
I'm still wondering how to call the process, 'chord' doesn't quite cut it...

I have been investigating sudden spike of youtube views and found that Cracklefield got cracked (if it's a proper term for something which has no security to crack) and is now all over the place. It's a name's karma I guess.

I bought this from Sound Dust and am curious if we'll be notified when there are updates?

I'll think how to work it out. Can send you a PM, to be sure it doesn't go straight to spam folder. Probably it will be just one update.

Sure, I'll send you one now. Would be great to be notified instead of having to remember to check. Appreciate it!

[Zombie Queen]

Will do. Unless "pro audio" sites which are distributing it now will get there first.

[Musical Gym]

Sorry about that news.
Maybe require unzip password for future versions?

[Zombie Queen]

Nah, it's the regular version out there, together with other instruments, not worth a trouble anyway.

There's a random preset generator which produces great results. You can use it while learning all the features. Well worth spending some time with.

Agreed! Definitely worth looking into..

what a shit - but Cracklefield is a "specialist" type of tool anyway, I doubt many people looking for a quick fix impulse buy purchase would have bought it anyway.

1.4 update arrived.

new feature:
– Added progression generator and sequencer, pattern/chord progressions can now be generated internally in Cracklefield.

fixes and tweaks:
– Tweaked random preset generator, the randomly generated presets should be simpler more often, possibly giving more useful results. The generator will affect the animator, reset it or occasionally set up a moving field. The generator will now also respect preset loading filters.
– Fixed scale key button set not being updated on certain occasions.
– The seed for random event generator will now be reset to a derivative of field checksum every time transport starts (you press play or record in DAW). This way any random event sequence in the project will be synchronized with field contents and each time you render a saved song it would repeat the very same progression of pseudo-random events.
– Small change in main sequencer queue, the animator will be now applied 1/3 sequence step ahead of other functions (with the exception of the first step). As the animator transformations can be CPU intensive, especially if you make it play several life games at one step, coupled with progression generator, it could occasionally cause audio dropdowns. Now that animator is processed a small while ahead of other functions it should make such situations less likely to happen.

It took a while, not only because the update is fairly complex, but I had to put it on hold for a while.

If you've got it at Kontakt Hub, it is updated there, otherwise write me or send a PM for the update links.

Outstanding, thanks Marcin

A chord progression generator in a free update is unbelievable, what a surprise .

Only thing I wish myself for the next life is a brain big enough to understand this marvellous thing at least a tiny bit (sigh.....) but I swear I will give it a try again now with this chord progression generator.

Even with the best user guide written for such complex stuff I ended up evry time so far with looking over my shoulder (so nobody could see me) and then hit the random button .

But maybe now with the chord progression generator it might be all I need ))))))
