selling patches?

[hope4ever]

If you have more patches / presets for the Mulab instruments then more people might invest in Mux Modular to plug into their other DAW's. I have never purchased Mux.

?

If i buy a vst instrument I kinda expect a lot of presets in there else I do not buy it.

p.s. I love that Mulab can change the piano roll grid easily to 1/16, 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, 1/64 and higher at the click off a mouse button. I cannot say it is so easy in ableton. Some other DAW's do not even do 1/24 etc and max out at 1/32. Though you can change the grid to these its just much harder to do.

I also noticed that every time I move or copy the Mulab portable app to somewhere else on my computer I have to enter the user license key again when i load it up. Its no biggie and working as intended no doubt, as some form of copy protection. I copy the entire Mulab portable app to back up each of my Mixes to seperate folders.

I also love how mulab automatically saves every projects user created sequence's (midi files). They are accessible under the right hand pane by selecting project something something and it displays the entire list of them. I love how every user created sequence and copied pasted sequence is saved automatically with an incremented number value for it. I love how even when you delete a sequence from the timeline so that it is nowhere in your song or timeline, mulab still keeps the sequence saved in your project accessible in the right hand pane. It stops you from losing work and from accidents, even from intended changes. Some other well known daws do not do this and certainly not by default.

"The linx 10V64 tablet has a smaller screen resolution (720p) than latter tablets so it was easier to see and read the screen."
720p = 720p has a screen resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels.
linx 10V64 has a screen resolution of 1280 x 800
This lower density makes the screen easier to read at the small screen size.

I don't think it is supposed to erase the key. Whenever I make a backup copy, I never have to re-enter the code (I always copy the entire folder, not just app). Anyways, we are going off-topic here, might as well make a separate thread.

There are some great vst's out there that take up little space and have thousands of presets. Oatmeal (32bit only though), Synth1 (32 and 64bit), or for a a decent paid one you could try Sylenth1 or Spire. Both of those have thousands of presets and sound amazing.

They also don't take up a lot of space and are easy to use.

Synth1 crashes Mulab for me

[sl23]

Works OK for me. I'll look again though as not used it for little while.

[MuTools]

Synth1 crashes Mulab for me

A known Synth1 bug.
IIRC it's only in the 64 bit version, not in the 32 bit version. (or the other way around)

Surge XT has over 1000 presets, it's available as vst3 only but you can make it work in MuLab with VST(i) loader:

Quantity isn't the same as quality, though -- are all those patches inspiring for writing a new piece or for using as base for your own patch? Or do they just take up space visually? And do you have the time to go through them to find what you're looking for, more importantly (for me ).

Many thanks for the lightweight plugin synth suggestions everyone. It will be noted.

Imo less presets is not more. More presets is better, I can trial hundreds in a short space of time cycling through them in the synth menu and with usually only one press on my midi keyboard key. If I get a good sound I just know. I can do this with or without the rest of my tune looping in the background.

[sl23]

That's what I tend to do as well. Find an inspiring sound then work a track round it

Sometimes using some 'plain' patches mixed in or layered.

More is better!

People find pleasure in different ways.

I enjoy imagining a sound and being able to make it.
Presets suggest possibilities, and I take them apart to learn.
In that way, I learn from presets how to imagine and create better.

Too many-- presets or features-- changes me from a creator into a consumer.
MuLab is different from most other music software because it helps users be creators.

It doesn't take long to find the right patch and to tweak it (as long, as you know how to do that;) Having lots of patches means there are lots of good starting points in each category. I'm also a big fan of layering multiple sounds (and I'm glad to have lots of cooking ingredients to choose from;)

P.S. Here is my demo for Unify (maybe I'll do one for MuLab someday). I enjoy playing and I hate making recordings (it quickly becomes boring to me;)

You're right Michael it can do, but Robert also has a point.

Regarding pljones' comment, inspiring is in the eye of the beholder. More patches means broader user range.

As I said, I'm not bothered either way now, but for newcomers....
