Re: ReMote SL Automap 3 - how to program XY pad (for FM8)

I can't possibly imagine that's what they meant by programing the XY pad.

Re: novation sl 37 switches template automatically

Just skimmed your comments, but have you tried saving your Global settings when you're in your preferred template? For example, if you wanted your ableton template to be template 1, save it to the template 1 slot. Then, go to global settings, no need to actually change anything in your settings, and...

Oh, and thank you for bringing it up. Real tricks on this board are a rarity, so don't down-play it. You found something useful and that's great.

I'm not sure I understand what this is about. Are you referring to the fact that for some reason, even when I "set as default" my nocturn to a User Assigned layout, or include the cross-fader in a dedicated Midi assignment in ableton, the nocturn somehow stupidly continues to NOT load the ...

Sure, magazines and manufacturers both have incentives to sell product. With that in mind, you can be your own filter of information, I think. If anything, I feel like I'm the biased one in the review equation of Ableton's instruments. And it's entirely visual. Somehow the minimalist feel of ableton...

Honestly, I often hear it referred to as a "convenient sketchpad". For that I use AudioHijack. Loads up fast, while I'm still in the right head-space. I did put some care into GB when I got a license for Channel Strip, and I do use it occasionally as a mastering environment. But this begs ...

no, not a stupid question. just a lesser-known answer. I can only guess at the mac answer and although I'm not inclined to tell someone it can't be done, in this case, I'm leaning towards that answer. It needs to implement general midi, which is why I think the mac defaults to the DSL. If you look i...

yes and to add to your comment, tetra, the Nocturn HAS to be the one using the automap port. It has no interface without it. And this is where folks might feel like there's "too many cooks in the kitchen" or some such expression. The point of this initial post was to create a user remote s...

Well, more people will come to your aid here, but I'll give you first impressions (I'm not in arrangement view much either.) One way, wait for abe 8 and grooves. other way see below: First off, appreciate that a on old steam train has a syncopated rhythm, so your transients are not your down-beats n...

daunted? yes. i've made many attempts to really express myself with object oriented coding and the like. At best, I can read what someone's done, but I don't have the kind of mind which can proactively design something. I don't have the mind that imagines weird conceptual signal flow. "To thine...

kirstoffer1989, do you mind posting a link or hosting the download somewhere for instajungle universal/intel? I went to the website as well, and I don't see any link for a universal version. It's either windows or power pc. Not that I even know how you would be (I simply can't use ppc plugins), but ...

man that's cold

okay, go with this rack for now would be better advice than my previous suggestion. I just made an attempt to consolidate an arrangement loop (not running) while I was clearly running a Session window scene. Doesn't matter. It will stop your audio. Globally? Yeah, I think so.

I've was curious about this too, and got an overall consensus that AU's have just a slight edge over VST's. I've no real computer science lingo to support this claim, but I understand au's, due to their native to apple, are more robust/stable and use better architecture to take advantage of the oper...

I didn't read the fine print of Timur's response, but I think he deserves the credit for this. It sounds like what you want is similar to a "survelience" Camera tape. You don't need to monitor it all the time, but when something happens that you want to make note of, you can measure out th...

Really looking forward to putting it through the ropes.
Reminds me of a couple popular board games: Catan, and Knizia's Ingenious
I'm looking at the tokens, and I'm trying to figure out some game rules for using your sequencer.[/u]
