Of course I know about the XY Pad. Doesn’t help you with anything unless you’ve hooked it up to something else innit
Point is for things like Duplex, where parameters get automatically assigned depending where you are, it may not be the most obvious. Setting up a decent map via OSC, where you can assign different pads to control effects and samples in different tracks plus loads of power with the other controllers it will be far out there! A lot more work setting up and ideally suited to performance, rather than composing, in my personal opinion.
Hope that makes it a little clearer what I was trying to say
Not to venture completely offtopic, but I feel I have to “clarify back”:
It’s true that some Duplex apps are generic in nature - such as the Mixer, which adapt to the current track - and doesn’t feature ‘hardwired’ mappings like the traditional MIDI mappings. But this is really not a limitation of Duplex, but rather a design philosophy I initially followed - however, I’ve noticed that all things Duplex are becoming less generic and more “customization friendly”, a hybrid sort of workflow.
For instance, with the XYPad app you can freely roam any XYPad device in your song, but you can also have such perfectly hardwired mappings, automatically recalled/restored when the song is loaded. So, whenever you feel like modulating two parameters across a surface, you just add an XYPad, configure it to your liking and bam!! it’s at your fingertips.
What it doesn’t do, however, is to create the DSP devices on-the-fly, Cells! style. But there’s absolutely nothing to prevent such a thing, it’s just how I roll. I like that Renoise is the foundation for everything that’s done with the controller, that the “state” of any given parameter is represented somewhere within Renoise (I guess this is what you mean by performance, but I digress…).
But no matter what, something unique like the Quneo would probably be best off with a dedicated script/application (actually, this is what I’m hinting at with the “how it should be put to use” question).
I placed an order. Check out this video using it as a step sequencer. Since there are multiple sensors you can easily use the pads as a 8x8 grid. Wonder if you could make it 12x12 using the middle top/bottom/sides of the pads.
Few videos from NAMM in the latest update. These couple cover most features they were demonstrating.
Although this comment was in the email: “We recently sent out a survey to collect your shipping info. If you haven’t yet responded, make sure you do so soon.”
I’ve not received an email. Has anybody else who jumped in on it who isn’t based in USA been contacted?
(Why can’t I get the Media tags to work all of a sudden?)
Second vid is interesting, as the mapping system is explained a bit. Sounds like you don’t have to be a scripting wizard to put it to use (keeping in mind that the capabilities of a one-to-one mapping system is rather limited, this is still good news).
I bought one a few years ago and it arrived faulty and I stupidly tried to follow the “correct” returns path of going through the reseller, which was impossible! After about nine months of an email and 5-10 phone calls each and every week I just gave up with the idea of getting it fixed even though it was broken new out of the box
Duh, i even bought a b-stock model, now you make me feel bad about my purchase (Nevertheless, more reason to cheer for the fact that it is running flawlessly, poor you.)
Which reseller did you got it from anyway?
KMI has started the work to open source the QuNeo preset editor and there is now an Alpha Linux build available for testing.
If you are a Linux user with a QuNeo, please PLEASE download and try the Linux builds of the preset editor, and direct your friends to the announcment post
It is important that we show KMI that there is indeed Linux, and Open Source, interest in their products, so that we can continue to build this relationship and continue to build Linux support for the products we use!
Even if you just download it, try it once, and report back here success or failure, it will help the software developers to know how things are working, and KMI know there is interest!
I am not an employee of KMI and do not represent them, but I am working with them on developing the Linux port of this tool (I am jrussell on the KMI forums).
Anyone have any direct experience with this yet? From the reviews and general data I can gather online it seems like its pretty, novel but unfortunately a bit rubbish in operation.
