New Tool (2.8): Mpe

This might be possible when the PADS section is added then the selected note can be assigned / locked to a track.
In the meantime I decided to release the next version 3.4 for 2.8 and deal with DUPLEX and PADS as a separate thing.

sevenscientist:
we’ve change the name of the multitap device from “…/Multitap” to “/Multitap Delay” so unfortunately your latest 2.8 version of the tool will fail to load.

Your tool should be the only official one which is affected though, so I hope it’s not causing much troubles to update it.

no problem easy fix . thanks for the release and the new look is slick! good work!

something strange happening here with the alignment?

same code…

----------------------------------   
--left-side view  
----------------------------------  
  
 vb:row {  
 id = "gui_left",  
 vb:column {   
 spacing = default_control_spacing*2,   
 uniform = true,  
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
-- GUI Screen 01 song  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  
 vb:column {  
 id = "gui_screen01",  
 margin = default_dialog_margin*2,  
 spacing = default_control_spacing,   
 style = "border",  
  
----------------------------------  
vb:horizontal_aligner {  
mode = "left",   
--------------------------------  

look at the results

before v2.8beta

after 2.8 RC1

the right side if the view column looks shorter i think (uniform = true) is not working?

when pressing the MPE logo to hide the tool instead of shrinking to the size of the logo it shrinks but its width is as wide as the rest of the tool below it? PS cant attach the latest copy here the attachments below says !undefined undefined (I choose the file it show up next to (choose file) button and i click attach this file and im stuck here with undefined?

see :

ok fixed and uploaded version 3.5 with fixed bugs in midi mapping for fx section.
Im trying to create mute/choke groups but failing! so not included in this release.

any coding ideas greatly appreciated.
cant do anything with columns
so I was having the selected sample play on a dedicated track
eg selected sample is 1 and choke/mute group is 2 then sample will play on track2
BUT when looking for a change in the selected sample slot the track selection change occurs after the sample is triggered?

I have pads kindof working with touch osc so maybe that would be a way of triggering a choke group?

choke group fail! lock key/note to track works but too buggy to release.

uploaded next version 3.6

  • added buttons PRE- and PRE+ (these will skip through the currently selected plugins presets)
  • FLEVEL button now also sets the plugin volume to maximum
  • added CHORD enable/disable button
  • modified GUI button layout
  • changed tap tempo to 2 hits
  • fixed SYNC field to update according to timing field
  • changed instant sample recorded name to REC
  • changed save MPEFX track to SFX
  • RESET button now clears all slices
  • removed CLEAR button
  • renamed BLKLOOP button to REPEAT
  • pressing SONG or MIXER button a second time will display an alternate view
  • only MPE letters logo hide/shrink the tool ( the numbers do not)
  • added / changed buttons .LOOP. .SYNC. .CUT. ( these will enable or disable all samples on the selected instrument )
  • added / changed buttons LOOP SYNC CUT ( these will enable or disable individual samples on the selected instrument )

enjoy :wink:

PS how does your tool become featured in the tools page??

THIS TOOL NEEDS A MANUAL.
sorry for caps. :)

OK Cas , I will try and put some videos together.

until then … you can have a look at the Akai MPC200XL manuals online and Roland SP303. a link is in the description of the tool.
you can also youtube “mpc2000xl tutorial”

It has also evolved through time and can do some cool new things so yes you are right I need to jump on it! and get some tutorial happening now … stay tuned i will post links here and in the description.

Just uploaded version 3.7

  • fixed some incorrect MIDI mappings
  • renamed some buttons (.LOOP. .SYNC. .CUT.) are now LP/PGM SC/PGM CT/PGM
  • adjusted scale of sample attack slider

Thats it for now, I had planned more future updates to include moving of sample note ranges via a drop down called layers, just an easy way to layer the samples by selecting a maximum of 12 layers and I few more changes and enhancements, but I no longer have the time to keep working on this project. I hope everyone enjoys it. For those of you out there that cant afford the cost of a hardware sampler - this tool plus renoise comes as close as I believe you can get for free. Support the Renoise developers and purchase the program if you haven’t already.

I will now get on with making music and maybe creating a video tutorial that I hope will help those of you who do not understand how to use the tool. Remember its basically a way to control renoise like an AKAI MPC 2000XL hardware sampler or a BOSS SP303. Connect a midi controller, midi-map some of the controls and have fun , in particular the fx parameters and loop start and end points.

Cheers
Goodbye for now.

Found a small bug in MPE - it doesn’t take the LPB into account when jumping bars.

thanks for testing it revo11 I will look into it. Maybe an update is needed or maybe it should be integrated into another tool?

I have been testing and when I change the lpb number it works ok for me can you give me an example?

Here’s a functional link to the Akai MPC2000XL Manual: http://www.platinumaudiolab.com/free_stuff/manuals/Akai/akai_mpc2000xl_manual.pdf

Is this tool will live ir 3.0??? :o

I really hope so. This is one of the best tools out there. :yeah:/>

Updated version for 3.0.

I never really used MPE myself, did the update some time ago for someone on irc.

Not sure if everything works as expected, if something is wrong, let me know!

Nice! I’ll try this out with my Yamaha RY30.
