I still use eXT1.4 a lot, but as time went by, the best way that worked for me ( I use the VST version ) was running it bridged inside this tool that I specifically did for it.

I know, in a scale of ugliness from 0 to 10 ( where 10 is the ugliest ) this solution gets an 11, but when you're playing live and controlling everything without looking into the screen and switching between several sets with complex setups you can always be sure to have a fresh start ( no memory leaks, etc ). :shrug:

Linking my 2 keyboards and foot pedal together.
- Turning on and off the drums using my foot expression pedal (I can play an intro and then start the whole "Jam Track" program in sync)
- Adding strings according to active chord on the fly
- Changing main voice with my FCB1010 foot controller or keyboard slider via midi CC
- Changing the rhythm of the electric guitars in the programmed "Jam track" with the foot controller
- Changing secondary voice on the second keyboard by pushing some buttons on it
- Attaching the transport controls (record, play) to the sequencer
- Converting Aftertouch to Pitch Bend modulation in order to control generate Vibrato with AT (on the fly).
- Controlling the chords of the "Jam Track" (bass and electric guitars) on the fly with my left hand
You can in Loomer Architect.
Seeing your screenshot I understand now why Loomer Architect seems to be revered among former energyXT users.

Is this stuff released? Can't find much about it...
Found the main site, but nothing on YouTube.
Seems there's a thread here on KVR about it..

The Loomer forum is here, worth browsing thru some threads and see what people are doing with it.

Also, these posts on another forum might give a context:

I still have 1.4 and 3 installed but no longer use them. Jorgen is never coming back, so I wonder why KVR still has a forum with a link which directs to his shop? People are following the link and buying it, and then finding it does not work, and there money has been wasted.

Post

Jorgen could hire a team to develop it further. Not sure what went wrong. I guess he lost his interest or had other problems, maybe. He could make an open source at least...

I definitely miss it. Best and fastest scratchpad tool. Decent enough for working on full songs. It goes by the rule that I wish more developers would go by: simple things should be simple; difficult things possible.
Surely there must be consensus by now...

Post

yeah, missing it from time to time, made a lots of songs using it. MuLab to me is nearest to that modular + sequencing perfection out there. Not the same, but there enough.
