Re: New MVC module with note off velocity

Lets see if people take it on board. Sharc & I will certainly include Note-off velocity in our synthesis projects, possibly PAT as well, although we don't have a PAT capable keyboard, which again makes it difficult. All noted, thanks. Just for testing functionality you could edit a sequencer fi...

Re: When Do you Want to own SCOPE XITE-1

As soon as the bank manager calls me to tell me my bank account is full and would I please remove some money to make room! :lol:

The piggy bank is starting to rattle anyway.

Re: New MVC module with note off velocity

Yes, we knew about that & it's been mentioned here on Z several times. It's possible to implement it in Scope devices, but we don't have any hard or software here which supports it. There's definitely some useful applications for it in synthesis, but for most applications a velocity range which...

Re: SCOPE XITE-1 is shipping!

Monday I will have some cool sounding Solaris demos. But be warned I like the old Mahavishnu and ELP type of stuff, so the Bass drum won't be the 4/4 ( yawn, yawn) type of groove. More like 10/8 and 12/8 with distorted synth lead guitars and fake phased fiddles. Jimmy, did you get the PAT version f...

Re: New MVC module with note off velocity

It wizny me this time Jimmy. :D Twas sharc who made it. I'm just the bearer of the good news. :wink: Thanks Mark and Sharc. (that has a kind of ring to it....) BTW did you know there is a new MIDI message which extends the note on/off velocity resolution by 7 bits? http://www.midi.org/techspecs/ca3...

Re: Neglected MIDI messages

Sonic Core would have to code a new MVC. The Scope SDK currently doesn't allow C++ coding or the ability to create any customized modules. -John B. :( :o :roll: Now we need the SDKDK!!! I will plead with Ralf and co. for a new MVC and hope I can have some input. Not sure how well I will be received...

Re: Open Sound Control (OSC)

I think it would be up to soniccore rather than a third party, it would be rather awesome to make some monome apps for scope :D it might require some CPU rather than DSP type processing though. Geez, like that's not avaiable! :lol: There's always FPGA's. I follwed the link in one of your posts to M...

Re: Neglected MIDI messages

Mark, does the note-off trigger in the MVC derive from note-on velocity 0? If you hook up the midi monitor in Scope, you'll see that Scope does indeed recognize note off velocity, but I can't say what the internal workings of the MVC are, since it's internal circuit is not accessible with the prote...

Open Sound Control (OSC)

Is this likely to be supported in scope?
I saw reference to it in a couple of posts.

Re: Neglected MIDI messages

John and Mark, thanks for the encouragement. I don't have the SDK yet so I'm guessing a lot here. I have heard that the windows MIDI buffers are a little unreliable but how else can you get the MIDI data into scope? Can you open a pipe to the MIDI data directly? What access to the API's is there fro...

Re: Neglected MIDI messages

afaik release velocity was by far exotic in the late 80s - early 90s. Ensoniq keyboards and even the mass-market targeted Kawai K4 supported it. To be honest, I somehow tried to use it once, but didn't find it particularily useful. As already mentioned it may add realism to faked sample instruments...

Re: Neglected MIDI messages

What controllers today use it? Well I have to say, my Elka MK88 does! So do Cubase sequencers. I agree witjh Johndunn about running status in the early days. The protocol only runs at 31.25 Kbaud regardless of processing power and running status does help a bit. I would like to give it a try if I c...

Neglected MIDI messages

Another seldom used MIDI function is "Note Off Velocity" The current popular way to send note off is a note on with zero velocity. The MIDI spec was intended for a separate note off message identical to the note on message. the format is - note off (4 bits), channel (4 bits), note number (...

Re: New Physical Modelling Rhodes

This is a really decent plug though, I just think they need to do a little more than listen to a recording of the instrument they emulate. They should listen to the recording of a stupid pop song called Baby Come Back. It demonstrates what every developer keeps missing. The left hand plays a warm m...

Re: Prodyssey MIDI problem

Thanks Slammah.


It's the ASB.
The sending of CC's was coincidental.
A large amount of MIDI data could cause the optocoupler to fail though. :)
Anyway, it turns out it was a broken DIN socket.

All working fine now.
