aksoni, I think you may have somehow locked the panel you attached. I cant get into edit mode to see the component properties. ” title=”Sad” /> I like how you have set up the sequencer steps to display their note values… exactly how’d you do that?

[nrhyan]

nice looking panels!

[nrhyan]

To anyone who would much rather do the work on their own, ignore this. As for anyone else here are two nearly complete panels for the Tetr4. The panels include components for pretty much all of layer a’s program parameters. I think the only one I left out are breath and foot mod controls. Check ’em out.

atom, is the v5 vst now stable when in multiple instances?

That is my dream. One of the biggest reasons why I choose to buy the Tetr4 was because it could be played multi timbrally. I like fiddling with my DAW, but just as much I like playing my synths as instruments. This journey we all are on is the journey known as "Redemption Road" ” title=”Wink” />

Hi Kidney, to answer your question, in manuals’ Program Paramter Data table you’re see one columns labeled "A" for layer A and the other, column "B" for layer B(in the combo table columns 1,2,3,4 apply to the four voices/programs). If you’re making a control for layer A, you will put the value seen in the table in the panel component’s MIDI Controller Number" field. The values found in the range column go in the "Minimum Value" and "Maximum Value" field.

Thanks minimalist. I try to keep up with Chris/Pym’s updates. 1.4 is def more stable, tho there is definetly room for some improvement. One thing I wish I had would be that overpriced Tetr4 SE librarian…

[nrhyan]

this is sooo nice. Cpu usage is at a steady 2-3%, I’ve now got a third panel open to give me a whopping 101 configured controls (4 mods, 4 lfos, seq, arp, gate controls and seq steps), and still no crashes! I always wanted to be able to do this. What’s even better the preset for my ohm64 which by default has 8 banks of 8 controls (=64 controls) has been automatically creating new banks as I add extra controls from another panel. not bad, not bad ” title=”Cool” />

[nrhyan]

god damn. nice work atom. I have had the vst running beautifully for about twenty minutes now in Live. I currently have two panels up in one track and was able to configure paramter controls in the DAW for all of them. CPU spikes are gone, and no crashes yet.

[nrhyan]

Hey Kidney, I’ll try and help out. First off, do you have any particular reason to want to send standard CC messages? Itll be just as easy to send NRPN and you will also be able to create controls for ANY/ALL of the Tetr4’s program and combo parameters. Make sure you have a tetr4 1.3 manual and let me know whats up. I’d be happy to send you a panel I’ve alreadymade for the Tetr4 too so you are able to see some working examples.

yes the 32 limit is hard-coded, but i will change that, however i need to make it stable enough to change it.

You have to understand that VST and AU do not support changing the number of parameters exported to the host, i went around that limitation by exporting a fixed number of parameters and managing them internaly (i did 32 cause it was simpler to debug). Ofcourse i can export much more, but this will cause other problems. It’s not possible to determine how many parameters a Ctrlr instance will have, it’s a bit complicated. I will increase this number and fix the VST parameter handling (there is a bug report about this and multiple panels). Please remember v5 is still alpha and i need to fix a lot of stuff before it’s ready for production use, i’m aware of that.[/quote:xkbxwsam]

I do, I do! Atom, you are the shit! I’m just along for the ride, having fun and trying to help. I don’t know how many DSI owner’s there are out there, but once v5 is up and running, which I have faith will happen, it’s gonna help a lot of them out and likely help create a lot more of them. its da trufth

[nrhyan]

(osx 10.6.7)

The paramter being changed is sending MIDI to the hardware port. When I disabled the device I still saw CPU spikes. Mine aren;t quite as bad as Minimalist’s. Typically 13-28%

Let me know if you want any more info.

Short info: when v5 342 is controlled/automated by the host there are heavy CPU peaks (70-80%) appearing.[/quote:3ft9sitv]

yup.

[nrhyan]

I just notices when a ctrlr v5 VST track is opened in Ableton it already has 32 controls, with or without a panel opened. I thought this was odd. 32 is the max amount of configured controls ive been able to add into a vst track so far, and in my experience using other vsts there arent any controls the plugin track viewer if no device is open in the vst. hmph. ” title=”Neutral” />

[nrhyan]

awesome. this thing that is going on between panels is really getting in the way for me. I reassigned the VST index for all the components on these two panels I am trying to successfully use in Live, but that isnt solving it. The problem is when I switch from one panel to the other in the VST window, there is no corresponding change or response in the plugin track viewer in ableton. So, no additional controls are able to be "configured" in ableton’s plugin viewer. What happens is each control is mapped to components in BOTH panels.

In v4 I was able to "configure" a seemingly unlimited amount of controls in abletons plug in window(well prob 128), but tonight AI keep on hitting a dead end. This happened to me Reaktor and I’d always have to change/compress the device ID’s. That’s why my first thought was to change the VST index, to no avail however.

I’m sure there are more important things youre trying to tackle with v5 right now. I can try and take a break from bombing you with bug reports. All in all, v5 for Mac has seen so much improvement in the last 48 hours. I’ll try downloading 343. currently the upgrade link/button in standalone doesnt seem to do anything.

[nrhyan]

after loading the second time everything seemed to be functioning well and I had no crashes in the fifteen or so minutes testing my panel. I had trouble adding your NRPN preset to a Multi slider, so right now I’m going to go back to standalone to create a panel for Tetr4’s sequencer. Us Tetr4 and Mopho users could really help each other save time and have fun by sharing any work we’ve done on panels. So.. if someone has a panel for Tetr4’s sequencer, now would be a good time to share ” title=”Smile” /> . I will happily do the share the easy but somewhat time consuming panels I am able to do(these would include things like panels complete with all of Tetra’s NRPN program parameters). ” title=”Razz” /> Things like sysex parameter dumps I have not tried setting up components for and could probably use some help.

Some time yesterday I tried but could not log on to DeviceDB. I’ll try to give it another shot

[nrhyan]

For my first time I was able to load the VST in Live without it crashing! I was even able to open a panel and send values to my Tetr4. That felt fucking great.. Most of the components were already in the VST track. The buttons and lists/combos? werent and upon trying to bring them into the VST track in configure mode, Live froze. Just thought I’d drop this note, I’m gonna get back to do some more testing and I’ll probably return here with some logs. This is a HUGE improvement tho. fun fun ” title=”Razz” />

It’s alive!!! the VST is alive!!! hahaha!
