Max : BEAP modular - So I've worked it out !! I now am able to build polyphonic BEAP based synths with VpC  AND get them to run in Ableton as Max4Live, and they even have Push support :) (oh, and multicore too :))  Im pleased, as BEAP is a really good platform... (this was last on my list, i can now build VpC synths in Reaktor, Oscillot and Max/Beap...  why? because they all sound different due to their implementations of OSC/filters etc) I'll do a video soon :)

Hello, not an Eigenharp owner yet, but I have decided to go cold turkey on new eurorack modules until I can afford a Tau. I work as a software developer and am an amateur musician that makes electronic music together with my wife as "Tic Tic". I've been fascinated by the Eigenharps for a while already and can't wait to get my hands on one. But until my saving account has grown plump I'm just lurking here and finding my way around in eigenD and the source code. Hopefully I'll be able to do modest contributions to the eigenD development somewhere down the line, but for the time being, just getting up to speed on how everything works is more than enough to keep me busy. :)

Oscillot - this is fun :)  (Max4Live/Ableton) So, Ive created my own Oscillot object, so I can have VpC goodness in a virtual modular with Ableton :)  of course, as its OSC based, it avoids the Ableton single channel midi nonsense...   and because its T3D based, you can also use it with my EigenD Soundplane agent on your Eigenharp :)

Pgm adventures...

Mutable Instruments Grids ported to M4L. this is quite interesting... Ive been considering doing the same for EigenD, for a few of the MI modules, which are all open source, as EigenD with its wiring etc really does lend itself to this.  (careful consideration of course required for the UI aspects) Unfortunately at the moment, Im busy with Axoloti, but my turn to it later (oh so many things to try!)... but if someone else wants to have a go, Id be happy to help on the EigenD front. http://mutable-instruments.net/forum/discussion/5835/look-somebody-ported-grids-as-m4l-device/p1

All this years and still finding new things... Workbench agents Adjust values - Just by "hovering" and swipe up/down on the - (minus) + (plus) (this with trackpad, have to check with mouse) Back to earth...

Trying to build EigenD from github today on a different machine to the one I've developed on before. I'm getting the following error and was wondering if anyone else has seen this?? In file included from lib_juce/modules/juce_graphics/juce_graphics.cpp:137: lib_juce/modules/juce_graphics/native/juce_mac_CoreGraphicsContext.mm:510:13: error: comparison of function 'CGContextDrawTiledImage' not equal to a null pointer is always true [-Werror,-Wtautological-pointer-compare]         if (CGContextDrawTiledImage != 0 && transform.isOnlyTranslation())             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    ~ lib_juce/modules/juce_graphics/native/juce_mac_CoreGraphicsContext.mm:510:13: note: prefix with the address-of operator to silence this warning         if (CGContextDrawTiledImage != 0 && transform.isOnlyTranslation())             ^            

Madrona Labs - Virta  I know a few of us here, love ML synths, so a 'tasty morsel' from  Randy @ ML, (forums) on the next ML synth. "Virta is a patchable sound-controlled synth. It still has MIDI and OSC input but can also be controlled by your voice or another instrument using its pitch to signal converter. Something like a Korg x911, with a patchable vocoder and some other goodies. Musically it's got a distinct personality from Aalto or Kaivo. It loves to lead you into the uncanny valley." only a small tease, but I'm sure will be an interesting as Kaivo/Aalto :)

small low-res videos… (like the one I posted early on, just for this community) I think if no one opposes, this may be a good tool of discussion, evolution.

Snippet showing cross fade (midi monitor agent) and midi program change (midi program chooser agent)

Good to be in control and in the process have a new instrument to play with. So, take Aalto and its amazing, ever evolving, noodling patches - what to to with them ? Strip controller for volume crossfade between 4 Aalto instances (one in each horizontal row) add midi program change, T3D control… Ohhhh wackiness.   Forget notes, scales bahhhh (ok just spread all C note octaves across 9 keys) agents from Mark Harris  latest midi program chooser, midi monitor, t3d output Refining and having a great time, at some point move this concept to the Alpha 5 columns (5 instances)-perc keys as some more control?

New Agent : Midi Program Chooser.  a small (& late) present for António Machado , as a little thank you for hosting the Euro PMC (which was such a great event) usage - connect it to a keygroup output and a midi output (include AU agent!) and then when you press the keys on the keygroup it will send a program change event (or bank change if in bank mode) and light the relevant key. (it uses the physical mapping for numbering, so you can have splits, or switching etc)  download, is from here:   http://bit.ly/1zrR5KA , which is a new '2.1' full build.  (I'll do a windows one later)  (sorry didn't get it completed earlier have been bit busy!) note: screenshot is old version! attrib midi channel - channel, 0 =send all channels bank - current bank program - current program  window - start of window bank view false - leds show program, keys activate program change  true- leds show bank, keys activate bank change  NOTE: when a bank change is sent, it will also send the cur...
