Anyone have any idea about software or vst to use midi pads to control a step sequencer? My Akai LPD8 has 4 banks of pads and can be on/off (with light up pads to indicate), it would be cool to be able to sequence some stuff from it.

You mean trigger a hardware sequencer or play slices in a sampler or do the 1-16 follow the beats light up thingy like an 808? First two for sure, easy, just tell us your software/hardware of choice. The last one is something that I've never seen before but probably exists. I'd imagine it's unwieldy as heck too. You could probably do it in Max. If it exists that's where you'd find it. Actually, go talk to the guys in the Max thread. They might be able to help you write it if you can't find it. Because ML is deader than a pile of dead things. vvvvvvv muckswirler fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Apr 10, 2013 |

In fact I didn't even use it for months anyway because I was waiting for the 64-bit version. So I got a synth I wanted from a company whose quality I trusted - at a discount. We're in the same early adopter boat. DIVA is easily my favorite synth, and I enjoy using it far more than the NI stuff. With U-he I've been very pleased at both the accessibility of the designers (through KVR's forum) and the steady improvements to the product since launch. They've announced that they're going to be adding new filters, an arpeggiator, and some new waveforms among other things this summer.

I made a stack in it for my LPD8 that has velocity of strikes on 4 pads controlling gate lengths, sequential pad strikes on a single pad shifting velocities onto a 8 steps, the 8 knobs controlling pitch, etc.

Does anyone know of a host-synced tempo delay that supports an additional delay offset set in milliseconds? Basically, I want to accurately compensate for I/O delay in my delayed feedback paths.

You can just put a second 100% wet fixed delay plug-in after it, right?

Not with a negative offset (and I want to avoid agitating Ableton's dodgy PDC with a negative track offset). Maybe I should just knock up a quick hack in SonicBirth if I get time.

I thought you meant I/O like A/D or D/A conversion, that would never cause a negative delay.

Echoboy has a rushing/dragging control that's effectively a ms delay adjustment to the tempo locked feedback signal.

MDA Degrade is a simple bitcrusher/decimator and gets the job done: http://mda.smartelectronix.com/ The stereoizer is also pretty useful I think.Radiapathy posted:CamelCrusher, mang. http://www.camelaudio.com/camelcrusher.php It's a compressor + distortion.

Does anyone know of any good electric guitar VST's? I have Guitar Rig already, but no guitar actual guitar anymore! I don't especially have room or the capacity for a whole guitar at the moment so I am looking for replacements.  If there aren't would anyone have any ideas as to instruments I could hook Guitar Rig up to and get a pretty similar sound? Phraggah fucked around with this message at 21:00 on May 3, 2013 |

Guitar is a complex enough instrument (so many playing styles, so much range of articulation) that your best bet would be to find a sample library in an appropriate style (metal, blues, funk, whatevs). I can't recommend anything specific (I play the real deal), but Loopmasters has a bunch of guitar libraries and their stuff is usually of good quality.

Guitar is super complex, but I guess what I was looking for is more along the lines of a Kontakt library for electric guitar. Sort of like how session strings is for strings and EWQL is for orchestral instruments. From what I can tell these Loopmasters products are all prearranged samples that can't be used in that same sort of manner. Is this correct?

You could check out ReFX Slayer 2, I'm sure there's other similar things out there, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. The problem you'll run into though is that regardless of the quality of the source, a piano roll or a keyboard or whatever is pretty lovely for trying to emulate something you'd play on a guitar.

Sort of like how session strings is for strings and EWQL is for orchestral instruments. It's sample-based, in that they record all of the most used guitar chords, but you actually trigger all the individual strums and articulations. It also comes with a bunch of MIDI files that have rhythm patterns you can use, and you can of course write your own. I have owned both RealStrat and RealGuitar for a few years and never really spent the time to learn them. But there are some impressive demo videos around that show how much you can do with these things. Kontakt 4 and 5 actually have a sort of watered-down version of this in the factory library. I can't remember the name of the instrument, and weirdly, mention of it was removed from the Kontakt 5 documentation even though the instrument's still there. But basically it's a RealGuitar-like scripted guitar with a bunch of chords where you control the strumming. I don't remember whether it does all the articulations that RealGuitar can do though. If I remember right the Kontakt guitar was fairly easy to use. RealGuitar is well-designed, but there are so many chord possibilities that you need to do some pretty complex fingering to get the right chords. (This is a plugin where some music theory knowledge can be a big help.) EDIT: Some videos from the official site. This shows what it looks like to strum your own chords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMtbFDdsPaU This shows what it's like to use it with MIDI patterns, including a lot of the real-time variations you can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYZmsb-lcgA And this dude totally shreds on a piece written for two guitars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6dsTZ0hEaw Radiapathy fucked around with this message at 06:20 on May 5, 2013 |

That sounds as good as I've heard a MIDI guitar sound but I really feel like it'd just be easier to emulate a guitar with a distorted organ rather than trying to sample it with a keyboard. Even that guy sounds kind of stiff.

I don't see any better thread for this so here goes: I'm having issues with loading VSTs in Reaper. Specifically, it'll see some of my VSTs but not others. This is rather annoying, as it means I can't easily record their output so they're useless for anything other than loving about. Anyone know what could be causing this? I'm using the 64 bit version, but I have both 32 and 64 bit versions of Aalto Solo which loads fine.

When it comes to acoustic guitar Ilya Effimov have two amazing libraries that sound pretty drat fantastic when you learn to use them properly. They also have a Strat and Telecaster electric guitar library but I haven't tried those. I believe a company called Simony or something of the kind also had a huge electric guitar sample library. And there's also the Ele6tricity library which seemed pretty decent at least.

Any iLok owners here? PACE/iLok rolled out a new version of their license manager last week. Almost immediately, customers around the world started reporting that their iLok licenses were revoked or reverted to "trial mode." The ilok.com front page is just a great big mea culpa. "WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER" Last night the president of PACE started a thread on GearSlutz, apologizing for the mess- but it quickly devolved to the point where people were making death threats against him; I just noticed the thread has been deleted. Anyway, do NOT mess with any of your iLok licenses now- just don't touch anything (and probably don't buy anything with ilok requirements?). They are working their butts off trying to fix it, but there is no current ETA for a working solution. There is a sticky thread where you can track the progress of the problem. UPDATE: Looks like the PACE president's thread has been re-instated, with some of the violent stuff removed. And looks like people are beginning to turn on Steven Slate for claiming to stick with iLok for future products. Also, some folks are finally starting to be able to recover their licenses...
