Sundog Scale Studio 1.3.0 out now: Standalone MIDI tool for chord progressions and melodies

[hauke]

Hi Alex,

thanks for your suggestions !

I wrote them down on my list and will see what I can do . I hope that I can implement the "song sections" concept in the near future. This is very important to me as well (but unfortunately also a big rewrite of the current code).
And I also have some plans for an advanced sequencer... some of your suggestions might come in handy there .

Have a great day!

Greetings,
Hauke

I found out about this gem on the Maschine forum, was quite impressed with the video so I downloaded the demo. Playing with it for about 5 minutes was enough to make me buy it

I have 2 questions though:

• Sundog seems to send program changes, which are useful for General Midi but not for most VST synths. Is there a way to disable these program changes?
• Is it possible to set note length (i.e. gate time) in the sequencer/arpeggiator?

Maybe I looked over these things in the manual because I was having too much fun with Sundog

Hi Reefius,

thanks for your purchase !

Point 1: Maybe I should include an option to disable program changes in a future version. But there is also another solution: Simply set all your instruments to 0 inside Sundog (there is also a shortcut for that in the Edit menu). I always do that right in the beginning so that the VST never receives a different program change. This way it always worked for me and the VSTs stayed on the patch I chose inside the DAW.

Point 2: You can edit the note length in the sequencer by setting a step to the stop symbol "#". Just click on a step for a few times: It will either show you a number, a "#", or a "-". The "-" means that nothing will happen on this step. The "#" will stop the playing note. And a number will trigger note playback. Please also take a look at the manual, it's explained there as well

Greetings,
Hauke

I would really love to see a VST version of Sundog, especially for the jamming function

Reefius: Thanks a lot for posting ! I just opened a new thread for the 1.5.0 release as well. I had a bunch of stuff to do today, so I am a little bit late on the forum
