Hi All, sorry for the numerous posts, had a lot to say and the spam filter was being painful:

Anyway, there's a couple of problems I'd like an answer to if possible, which is the reason for joining KVR:

Firstly and more importantly, I tried a couple of times to buy the license, but shareit wouldn't complete it...(was using my CC), I think it's some kind of browser related issue with the redirect.

I've mailed BeepStreet about it, but is there any work around that anyone knows of?

<edit>

So today I received two emails for identical licenses and have been charged twice, so it looks like both attempts actually succeeded even though they looked like they didn't.

For anyone else coming in and reading this, I guess the lesson here is to only order once, even if it doesn't look like it succeeds!

(I've contacted shareit to get one of the payments refunded, so hopefully that will be resolved soon...)

</edit>

- Secondly, I found a patch I liked, recorded a phrase in Logic, added some mod wheel automation for morphing, and would now like to loop playback of that phrase while I tweak the A & B states, but because it's following the mod wheel automation, it's not possible to do. I think the state currently being edited should be separate from the mod wheel parameter...i.e. The plugin reads the mod wheel automation and uses that to blend between the current set of values for both states whatever they are. Somewhere else in the code, there is an index to select which state is currently being edited. Visually this should be moved away from the modulation wheel, so that it's obvious that they are no longer dependent.

Just read that back and it's not very clear.

Basically, use mod wheel param for (continuous) state reading for playback, and use another uncoupled value for (discrete) state writing. This would have the side benefit of not having to update the interface when the mod wheel is animating, which at the moment it's doing in a non blending fashion...(the code seems to use a threshold test ...if (mod wheel < 0.5) params in UI = state A, else params in UI = state B...)

Anyway, great product. I'm using the demo version in a project with the Korg Legacy Collection, Hive, and Novation's Bass Station 2 and it's fitting in nicely!

Cheers,

Kaz

Ah yes.. working on this

Hi there,
I have sent email asking about license transfer steps. I haven't received a reply yet.

Can you please explain how to transfer the license and if there is any cost related to it?

Thanks

RE: the share-it problem. I'm having the same issue. I've completed my purchase and I'm just getting a blank screen when redirected to Share-it. Fingers crossed that it all works out.

I'm writing a video game score, and I've used Sunrizer extensively - more than any of my hardware - so the idea of being able to move my work from the iPad to the Mac is really exciting to me. Really hope this payment problem doesn't harm their business, 'cos Sunrizer is lovely.

Thus why I decided against getting this synth. I was very excited about it when I first heard it but when I downloaded the demo and saw the way the mod wheel worked, I was totally turned off on the synth, which is a shame because it sounds great.

To this day I can't for the life of me understand why they decided to program the mod wheel the way they did.

But it's all water under the bridge now.

On the plus side, it's $50 less that I have to spend.

They are aware of it:

Hiyo, I'm trying to buy the lovely Sunrizer for my Mac and after payment via PayPal I'm returned to a blank Share-it screen. I've heard that other people have had the same issue and that I should just wait for a confirmation rather than refreshing the page.

Anyhow - I thought you should know it's an issue, and that you have a fan eagerly awaiting their Mac version...

shareit is aware of it.. but they don't know the reason yet. Usually waiting a few hours and/or changing browser, cache clearing works. Sorry about that. We think about using another "solution". :]

Hi there, what are the steps to be taken to transfer a license to another person? Is there any cost for it? Thanks

jj_beepstreet Mod EnGee • 14 hours ago
Just send me an email containing "transfer data" . No its for free

EnGee jj_beepstreet • 14 hours ago
Thank you JJ for your answer. Two questions please! Which email I sent the "transfer data"? and what are the "transfer data" required? I have only one email of Michal and already sent email to him but had no answer. Thanks again

info@beepstreet.com (contact form on our webpage. I mean your and the person you want to transfer the licence: name/surname/email.

[Hans25]

Warning: If the developer doesn't respond to a in inquiry from the "Contact Formula" on his site he probably didn't receive it. I experienced that. I had to write directly to: info@beepstreet.com to receive an answer.

Why don't you just suggest it to him if you want him to change something? I made an inquiry about adding a feature to be able to see the saved chords (either the notes or chord name) and not just hear them when loading a preset. He recognized that this would be preferrable and told me he would put it on his "todo-list".

The only thing he won't change as I understood is the GUI (like extra buttons etc.). I guess he paid someone to make that GUI (I like it).

The GUI is one of my favorite GUIs of any soft synth I've seen. I love the whole layout.

I have already brought up about the mod wheel to the developer.

Yes, I got my answer You were faster than me to post here

Regarding the Sunrizer synth, It is a great synth. I wouldn't sell it really if I don't need the money. I'm selling it (together with my hard time collected software ) because as I said I need money to buy Blofeld as midi controller/synth after being fed up with the low quality midi keyboards they are doing these days.

Yes. Well then it he will probably make a modification so you can choose what to do with the mod wheel.

Hmm as far as I have read the keys are from Fatar and they are no more than standard keys. They have more professional editions (that's at least what they inform on their website). Keys should be: Fatar TP/9S.

Only small companies or companies that haven't got any experience in making keyboards and keys themselves use Fatar keys (like Native Instruments). Yamaha, Roland and Novation make their own keys and are in the top if not the top with respect to quality and playability.
I have Roland A-800Pro http://www.roland.com/products/a-800pro/ and I doubt that you will get better keys by buying Waldorf Blofeld. The keys on Roland are fantastic and of good quality plastic and the price is a fraction of Waldorf Blofeld. If anyone think they know better please tell .
