Re: Hardware replacements, time to downsize!

Flexor has string oscillators for karplus strong. Also, for percussive sounds, flexor all pass filter is pingable and can produce some nice sounds. And granular, drawable waveforms and filters are covered as well. For sure there are many other filters, some standalone as well, and I think there are ...

Re: Scope plugins and signal levels.

Obviously any compressor or sat/dist plugin will be sensitive to input level. Usually though a software compressor will sound the same if the signal is -10dBFS and threshold is -20dBFS as if the signal is -20dBFS and threshold -30dBFS. This used to be true of most hardware emulations as well, but so...

Re: External (non-Scope) tools of our trade

Having so much fun in the studio now after discovering the holy trinity; Scope, Bitwig and Eurorack. Comes together so nicely with all the routing and modulation capabilities in Bitwig and the Grid. I pretty much use modular for everything now because it is so quick and easy to patch things together...

Re: Phase mod in Flexor oscs not working

No, this has noting to do with the lack of sinc interpolation between samples as we discussed. Look at the frequencies they are set to, both oscs and lfos are running at 20 and 40 hz. And both pictures show things working as expected when understaning the Flexor manual correctly. A bit confusing tha...

Re: Phase mod in Flexor oscs not working

Might also be me being confused how the phase mod actually works on the oscs. Normally the modulator will continuously update the phase in accordance with the modulators waveform. But reading the description for for example NBL Saw Gate it says "This oscillator is retriggered by gate messages t...

Re: Phase mod in Flexor oscs not working

This is the first issue I have come across with Flexor on my Xite system, and have been using it quite a lot.
Shame, really been getting in to phase mod lately :(

Cannot seem to find a contact to Adern, website is a bit broken, and I'm guessing the hope for a fix is slim anyway.

Phase mod in Flexor oscs not working

I noticed a strange problem on my Xite system...phase mod doesn't work on any of my Flexor oscs. Regardless of if I wobble knob quickly or modulate with another osc, waveform is completely unaffected. The phase mod for the Pattern LFO work as expected. Anyone had a similar problem? I'm sure they wor...

Re: Scope plugins and oversampling

Oh, and EQ's can have linear or non linear phase. That is an other issue and has to do with the EQ algo used, and doesn't improve with oversampling.

Re: Scope plugins and oversampling

I thought EQing can be non linear too. It’s definitely the compression and limiting that’s doing it plus my misunderstandings. :wink: Generally they should not add new frequency content to a signal. Typical exceptions are EQ's that also do dynamic processing, or EQ's that will distort when you add ...

Re: Scope plugins and oversampling

I'm not really knowledgeable about what has oversampling or not in Scope. But it doesn't really matter on any linear processes, such as an EQ without dynamics features. On non linear processes it does matter in some cases, so they can benefit from internal oversampling. Basically a non linear proces...

Re: New/Unused Xite - What would you do?

So many variables, so hard to say what is right for you. Xite seems less picky about what PC you run it on than PCI cards. On my PC I can use it at minimum latency and never a glitch, which was not the case when using PCI cards on the same machine, where I had to run medium latency. I'm using a ASUS...

Re: KrOn - CV/DSP modulator

Been running Bitwig for some time now, on different systems with different scope hardware, and haven't had any problems. So it's not Bitwig that doesn't like Scope, but must be some system specific issue.

Re: KrOn - CV/DSP modulator

Shouldn't be possible if using Bitwig to control any VST with Kr0n, since you can modulate any parameter with a CV signal.

Re: Sine Wave test

Can only guess since I don't know neither what you use to generate or analyze the sine wave.

Re: DAW - ASiO and Scope/Pulsar outputs

Unlike sample rate conversion, reducing bit depth is doesn't require any algorithm. You can simply truncate the extra bits...that will give you some truncation errors that can be helped by dithering, but that you should do as one final pass, not on each channel. As I understand, when going from floa...

Re: Freq to V/Oct

Sure, it would be nice with CD-coupled outputs on Xite, but you still have the same problem of communicating pitch between rack and scope since scope doesn't use V/Oct but some other format. And in the end it will be an ES-3/ES-6 but with XTDM instead of ADAT connection. So we would still need those...

Re: KrOn - CV/DSP modulator

Ah, didn't notice the env followers with adjustable fall and rise times, nice!

Yes, ES-6 is great for audio signals as well since it of course works at eurorack level, unlike a regular interface which needs padding.

Re: Suddenly getting PCI Master Overflow

Yeah, if it would been 15 minutes I would have done it right away, but a bit more tricky with this computer, hence my hesitation.

But tested it now, and getting the same error on that computer, so it seems like an RMA unfortunately.
