Happy Valentine's day everyone! I am pleased to release my new Eigenharp based CD entitled "The Feminin". Hope you enjoy.. https://weepomineeyes.bandcamp.com/ https://weepomineeyes.bandcamp.com

Aalto 1.6.0 released Its out, quite  a few fixes, but probably of most interest here: - Voice per channel midi support - OSC multiple port support (so you can control multiple instances)

Harrison Mixbus v3 I remember some  here liked the sound of mix bus, and I just stumbled on the following: "The updates on Mixbus v2.x have slowed as we are heavy in development on v3, which will bring many improvements including: - MIDI on all OS versions (Mac, Windows and Linux) - Virtual instrument support - 64-bit compatibility - Expanded controller support - Multi-core support " sounds like it might tick many of the boxes that some have been critical of. I also wonder if this means that they might 'sponsor' Ardour getting to V3 release on MacOSX... which has been a long and painful process so far. last news was: "Once again, the OS X release situation has still not improved, though a demo 64 bit copy of this version is available (fully featured except that is has does no saving or restoring of plugin settings, and no plugin presets)."

Getting my ducks all in a row... new agents coming to your workbench soon

Autosampler is available again. http://createdigitalmusic.com/2015/02/apples-mainstage-auto-sampler-turns-hardware-software/

Tip for continuous surface users :)  The setups we create for Eigenharps, tend to have scalers with small pitchbend ranges (typically 1.0) as its an offset for a key, it also usually set to be not linear, to give a 'centre' This is not what you want for a continuous surface like a soundplane or continuum, you want a big range, and also linear bending. BUT you also want to use the same rigs as your harp!? EASY, connect the roll output to strip connection (which is connected to global pitchbend in scaler) ,  then you can set the global range to 48 (or whatever) This input is always linear, so you don't need to change that,  and its also per key...  (its only global, in the sense that strips not keys...  but the scaler etc doesnt care) I just now need to see, what happens on the AU/midi converters, which will also need there PB ranges set....

PI 2 hmm, this looks tasty... and perhaps the future for EigenD? im thinking this + midi breakout board, plus custom (rt) linux + eigend build (or pehaps i might just use low level stuff as i did with max). i wonder if there is room inside the basestation pro to mount it :) http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/
