Re: Nubus Reverb

[Sean A. Cummins]

Hi Slau,

Thanks for the heads-up!  That's good news.  I really like the quality
of that plug-in, it will be another great addition to the arsenal to
have assessable.

Later,

 Hello  Slau and All on the PT List,

 First off, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy New-year to all
 on
 list.

 Recently, I downloaded a demo version of the nubus Reverb by
 Exponential Audio.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that all of the
 plug-in values are visible to Voiceover and are even very intelligibly
 well labeled.  As a bonus, there’s not an overwhelming plethora of
 settings; making the potential use of such a plug very reasonable.

 However, when interacting with most all of the numeric value elements,
 they cannot be changed using Voiceover keystrokes.  Some can be
 changed, but they are mostly categories such as reverb types, but no
 go with all the other values that control the reverb function.

 Has anyone else used the Nubus, and had the same experience?  It’s an
 exceptional sounding reverb, and I do realize the preset can be saved
 as user presets; I just like the ability to dial in parameters if
 possible.

 Thanks!

 Sean

Re: Nubus Reverb

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Sean,

Just wanted to let you know that Exponential Audio's developer attended the 
Avid Alliance Partner Conference in Anaheim where I did a presentation on 
accessibility. I've reached out to him regarding the Nimbus reverb. My 
suspicion that the plug-in is authored in Juce was confirmed. The good news/bad 
news is that it's the same platform that the Sound Radix guys fixed but the 
version that Exponential uses is customized or, as he puts it, hacked. So, he's 
been in touch with Sound Radix about how to potentially fix the issue and, if 
that isn't as quick a fix, he'll be upgrading to the latest Juce version some 
time this spring. So, we're in touch and we'll figure it out. It might be 
sooner, might be later and he is a one-man operation but things are at least on 
the radar. Just wanted to let you know.

Best,
Slau

RE: Velocity curves - Roland A8

[Martin (Punky) Sopart]

Hi Slau!

Yes, there is a kind of config mode via the keyboard of the Keystation 88 
itself.
Your description sounds very similar to the Keystation 88 manual.
The bad thing is, that there is no word about velocity in that manual.
Only an older Keystation called Keystation Pro 88 had the velocity chapter in 
its manual.
But I'll give it a try.

So far I'm trying with the MIDI real-time velocity properties to push the 
signal. Thanks Pro Tools.

Best and many thanks! / Martin

Re: Velocity curves - Roland A8

[Slau Halatyn]

Hi Martin,
Yes, it's possible to change the curve accessibly. I'll describe exactly how 
it's done below. One thing, however, is that I'm thinking that the process 
might actually be similar on the KeyStation. I'm not sure but, if it's anything 
like the KeyStation 61, it's a series of controls that are mapped to the keys 
themselves. Anyway, I'll describe the process for the A-88:

1. Press the dedicated Function button on the left side of the controller above 
the pitch bend/mod wheel.
2. Press the G#2 key which corresponds to Velocity curve.
3. Choose one of five levels from 0 to 4 which correspond to the keys D3 to F#3.
4. Press the C4 key to enter.
It couldn't be simpler. The only thing you have to do is press the right keys. 
I've created a list of the keys and their functions.  I'm pasting it below.
Hope that helps,
Slau

Velocity curves - Roland A8

[Martin (Punky) Sopart]

Hi Slau!

At the moment I'm testing a M-Audio Keystation 88.
Very inexpensive but maybe enouth to trigger some Samples.

I realized that it is very hard to play notes with a velocity of 127 with
the Keystation 88.
Unfortunately there is no way to change the velocity curve at all.

How is this behavior with the A8?
Could I change velocity curves on the fly accessible?

Thanks for your valuable support! / Martin
