Hello,

For those that don't look at the instruments section, I'm posting about my drumsequencer/sampler midi controller plugin here.

Checkout www.beatforge.nl for trying, manual
for examples.

Currently I'm working on adding support for rex files. No you can already load loops and play a selection of that loop. Every stepbutton can have it's own settings, als its own selection, but I came to the conclusion that the rex system is far better for stuff like that. I hope you like it. Any suggestion to improve my plugin are welcome.

UKs National Cyber Security Centre is blocking your site apparently...

Strange, it's a registered domain, I'll look into this.
maybe it happens when my link gets clicked on the kvr website ? I just ask a friend from the uk and they didn't noticing anything weird.

you can also get if from my kvr product page.

edit: I've asked a mate in the UK and he didn't notice anything, maybe it is just your isp blocking it ? is it as well on your phone as computer ?

Just home from work and works fine on my domestic connection.

I work in IT so know we don't have anything that would block your site specifically or display that message so must be something further up the line with our corporate ISP... Maybe if it's a new-ish site then just hasn't been assessed yet (like some people here report false positives on downloads of new plugs from smaller devs, just not in the system).

So all good for most folks I guess, sorry if I worried you

Seems like I'm getting alot of polite silence, but I want the harsh truth. Tell me what sucks about my plugin/standalone . So I can take care of that. I think I'm on the right path, but that doesn't mean nothing if people don't like what it does.

I think it’s great and that you should hang on until folks realize what a killer deal it is. You’re definitely in the right track with all the cool new features and what not.

Maybe you could add some screenshots on your site. And audio examples, links to YT. I am going to give it a try.

I gave the website an update. Check it out. Let me know what you think. Thanks, should have done this sooner.

I tried again but windows defender blocked the download for a possible trojan. Sure it's a false positive but i'll wait till it's 'approved'.

Definitely this.

Did you specifically got a Trojan message ? Normally it should just be an Unknown app warning.

Edit: I packaged the windows installer just as zip file with the .exe and .vst3 file separate.
The vst3 you can drag in your vst3 folder, the Standalone version will still give you the unknown app warning from defender. Defender shouldn't flag a vst3 file.

Anyways, here is one of the usecases, letting it play a midi. While doing this I noticed a mistake in my midi in implementation, I treated it like a synth where the length of the midi notes set the length of the drumssound, that's abviously not how a drumsampler should work because the length of the samples is supposed to be set by the ADSR tab, so i fixed that. Aphex Twin midi for testing

This one has some bitcrushing, phaser and convolution reverb.

Just pushed an update to the Mac version of BeatForge — it now loads REX files.
You can drag in a loop, and there’s a new button up top that lets you export the corresponding MIDI.

If you set that BeatForge track’s MIDI input and channel to match the midi, it’ll trigger and play back perfectly. You can then move the MIDI notes around, rearrange slices, etc.

Right now the step buttons don’t do anything for REX-loaded tracks (yet), but that’ll come later — they will be able to play midi sequences.

Sorry for the windows users, didn't have enough time to set up the Rex framework for that too. You'll have to wait a little longer.

i really like how natural tempo changes are with REX loops, no more weird time stretching artifacts. Pitch shift still works on rex slices, timestretch doesn't, as that would use too much ram to preprocess them all, and I want to keep BeatForge as close to zero latency as possible.

The Windows also got the REX file update.

I've added an aax version to the mac installer dmg. Windows aax version will follow soon when Certum activates my licence.
Next up will be development of the drumsynth to go into D16 drumsynth, Baby Audio Tekno and Kick 2 territory. I'm going for the total package, samples, rex files, drumsynth, and midi sequencer for outboard gear.

Edit: finally got my Windows code signing certificate, it just needs to build up reputation now.
