A little sequenced beat I made:

This patch seems to make all audio from Logic stop. Anyone else?

Hi,
Is it possible to automate the sequencer note on/off buttons in logic? I'm not able to get it to learn and it they don't record automation data - but the red value sliders do.
Thanks!

Alrighty - added and shaped this badboy up, I think it's looking pretty good now and has a couple cool things in there. Comments can now have a soundcloud embed, as well as the patches (subscribes are also working on the comments). Let me know if you guys have any other ideas. Got an article on CDM and got a fair amount of traffic and sign ups, looks like the ball is a-rolling.

Also, does the audio player crash safari for anyone? Running 5.0.5 version here and get crashes every time. I'd love to get a better audio player in there - this one isn't very attractive, but works and took zero coding.

@technomonkey - No problem - happy to have a little project to work on. My wife slapped a little design on it yesterday. Added a soundcloud embed field, but it's not displaying the nice big soundcloud player. Either way, progress. If you have any ideas on promoting feel free to do so. 41 visitors yesterday, so that's pretty cool :)

I posted on gearslutz in the Aalto thread and went to the monome boards, but someone beat me to it.

I tried out the demo and didn't have any problems with that patch. Went back to the old component and then had issues after opening that one again. I played with the new component a while and couldn't reproduce any issues.

I have the same behavior, latest versions of logic, os x (10.6.8) and aalto. I have the 17" 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 laptop, recently got.

I can fix it by clearing the aalto plugin and then re-inserting it.

One time this happened when a one of the synth parameters was at the max and I put another patch into it and pushed it further (if this is possible?).

I'll be sure to note when it happens in the future. Since working about 2 hours today it happened about 4 or 5 times.

Randy,
Is there a difference between Windows and OS X patches?

@technomonkey

I would rather there be spaces inbetween tags, oh well.

re:finnAle
Thanks! Added a bit to the Finn factory preset.

Awesome patches guys! Pleasantly surprised to see some new stuff up there :)

@tikitpok
Thanks for trying it out - appreciate you help.

@monkey
I'll add that in - that's what I was thinking - cpu mostly, since this thing is a bit of a beast.

The look can be swapped out easily - I need to browse a bit more and see what is out there.

Added a few more bits to this..

Patches organized by contibutor,

check!

according to keyed or sequenced,

check

number of voices,

hmmm - didn't think about this. Will add if you think it would be useful.

pad/lead/perc/bass etc,

check

upload date,

check

perhaps a rating/favoriting system.

will add this

Thinking that something like this would be a CC license. Users could delete if they desired though.

Worked a bit on this today. Any feedback on the upload form would be appreciated. Platform field needed?

http://www.patchdump.com

Still a bit to do with the navigation here.

I set up this site a few years ago, playing with the idea of a general patch upload area for EVERYTHING. Creating a site for just one synthesizer would be much easier to categorize properly instead of relying on tags alone as I did.

Never promoted it and really just left it alone - just a few of my patches up there right now.

http://patchdump.com

It's done in Drupal 5 iirc.

Just a little example of what can be done in a day or two of CMS config :) I've been wanting to see what WordPress could do in this area so maybe I'll play around a bit and see what it can do. Drupal is such a pain to maintain and upgrade.

"If you make a patch from "voice" to any parameter that can be modulated, you will see that parameter "multiplied" by however many voices are running. This is powerful: the filter can have four outputs at once, for example. So can the waveguide."

So the value of the parameter is multiplied or the number of instances of the module are multiplied? The voice control of key leaves me a bit confused.

"Thus, each voice is separately controllable, in timbre, modulation, and all of its parameters."

At some point all the voices are combined, aren't they? At the waveguide/delay?

I've been having a few crashes tonight while playing with the synth. The demo crashed when pressing the synth wavform buttons a few times, so I didn't do that anymore. Now I've gotten two crashes in the last 30 minutes. Once when loading up a fresh Aalto and another when clicking in the sequencer I think.

Can we give you crash logs? I'm up to help any way possible.

Thanks Randy - I look forward to the release.

Thanks Randy - I look forward to the release.

Another crash like before - this is what is happening:

Aalto stops responding to changes in the sequencer
I reset my channel strip in logic
Reload my Aalto channel strip
Logic crashes

I found my way here from that article. The interface on this thing is just great - I'm still working out how everything works though. I'd love to see a longer manual explaining everything for the novice. It's my first time really trying to understand a modular type synth.

The set of patches showing fundamentals are helping, but a text explanation would also be helpful to accompany them.

I love how you can preview the patches cables by hovering over the destination.
