this looks interesting, whats the copy protection?

A downloadable license.txt file that unlocks the demo version.

It's pretty fun and I like the ability to modulate the global tonal parameters in Bitwig for a very alive sound.

Cheers,

thx sounds good, no online copy protection crap!
sorry Tom, im back tomorrow but is export of the sampl possible as WAV?

[ThomasHelzle]

You can export the Midi sequence via drag and drop, but I wouldn't know how to export the mangled sample, other than recording the output.
Check out the demo and maybe write to support directly if the devs don't answer here.

I use it mostly with external sequencing and Bitwigs modulators, so that I can change all the settings in Visco on the fly, which for me is the most interesting part, since I'm allergic to static drum sounds...

This mainly visual experiment is using 100% generative Visco drums, played by Harmony Bloom (the bass is Glitchmachines Palindrome):


Cheers,

this thing doesnt support WAV export, very lame, every good tool like this should support it. so no thanks, next try.

We're aware of the wish and agree it'd be useful, but given that we're a small team with limited resources, I can't promise if/when we can implement an export feature. Contrary to what one might think, this is not a straightforward topic and has plenty of corner cases.

It stopped me buying it, I want some easy way to just keep exporting a bunch of variations without having to record everytime, so definitely hoping you can come up with something.

Anyone know when the intro pricing will expire? Can not find a date on the website. I think this sounds really good.

Good to know, There are probably more people feeling the same out there too! We'll see what we can do

Last of April! Announcement coming officially later this week

I've been noticing something with Visco not following the DAW transport reliably. I'm only aware of the issue while using the current version of Bitwig, I haven't tried anything else yet.

When setting the plugin to follow host transport, it often will not start unless the track Visco on is selected. Has anyone else seen something similar? Have I missed an option I need to change?

This sounds like a bug I've never heard about before — can you send us a screen recording and we'll have a look at it asap!

That is rather typical in Bitwig and often happens with plugins that are self-generating as in creating output without any input. Bitwig is sending them to sleep since it assumes that when nothing goes in, the plugin isn't needed. It's a bit over-eager there...
I've seen that with many sequencers, drum machines etc.

You can either set the "Suspend" Mode for the plugin in Inspector to "Never" instead of "Trust Plugin" (and save that as your default preset), or the devs could look into how to tell Bitwig that Visco is indeed alive and kicking instead of asleep
IIRC there is some kind of VST notification stuff for that scenario.
That's the "Trust Plugin" thing AFAIK.

Cheers!

Thanks for the input Tom! I'll reach out to my buddy at Bitwig and see what we can do about this, and add the info about to our FAQ. Highly appreciate that you took the time to answer!

We've just published a fix for this, thanks both of you for bringing this to our attention!

Sounds great. Curious what is the limit for sample length?

I didn't measure it but when I was loading in longer
Complex sounds they cutoff completely around 1.3-1.5

I bought this from JRR-shop and received a serial number, Visco asks for a license file though. Anybody know what to do? I wrote support but I'm not expecting a reply over the weekend.

[steb_osc]

Does the serial number act as a Coupon Code that you can enter on the website’s checkout? Bringing the value to $0.0? https://forever89.studio/
