Re: Sample pools in OS 2.x

Oh, and last thing is to be able to handle stereo sample files. Kluging up a solution with panning multiple oscillators is a bit odd and inconvenient not to mention, as you have, the phasing issues that might arise.

Re: Sample pools in OS 2.x

Thanks for the helpful response. A few comments....I don't understand why the engineer that coded the audio file handling couldn't just take the wav files and strip the metadata out in the code and then play it. It is certainly straightforward and there are numerous public domain code resources (aud...

Re: Sample pools in OS 2.x

John, I have been testing some sample and sample pool files from Garth at Chicken Systems. I really hadn't used the sample pool functionality before but now having gotten a lot more exposure, I have a few observations of my own. You had mentioned enhancing the software to actually use sample pools w...

Re: Sample pools in OS 2.x

I don't know why my last reply posted up as "guest." I guess I forgot to login. Garth from Chicken Systems is going to be working on getting this functioning properly and I have volunteered to test stuff he comes up with on my Solaris so we shall see how it goes.

Sample pools in OS 2.x

I am now completely confused about how to load up sample pools in 2.0.3 OS version. Sample pools are supposedly global so they don't apply to each part. All well and good but now there doesn't seem to be a way to enable sample pool loading and selecting the sample pool for your oscillators. This is ...

Are you going to prioritize development of 1U rack hardware above continuing OS development of the existing platform? I am sure I am not alone in hoping that doesn't happen.

Re: other Solaris hardware ideas

John I would not assume that there are a lot of people regularly reading this forum. If you want to really gauge interest I would do a post on GS or Muffwiggler as well as sending an email out to all existing Solaris users. I am very interested in a Solaris expansion bit strained for cash right now ...

Re: Developer Fund

John, Lots of great ideas already here. Here is what I want: multimode support - See the implementation of the Schmidt 8 voice polyphonic. I thought that was very well done. You could have 8 parts and you could allocate 1-8 voices per part. It allowed unison mode inside of multi patches also which w...

Re: Developer Fund

Yea, we don’t really want to have two code bases to keep up. As for a licensing scheme - the Solaris has internal code that allows for secure operating system management, so that someone who didn’t pay for the upgrade would not be able to use the OS. So if you agree with me that you don't want to h...

Just tripped over this thread so I apologize in advance if I post a bunch of replies instead of one lengthy one. I absolutely would contribute $200 to this effort. Regarding separate versions of the OS for those that contribute to this effort and those that don't, I am a software engineer by trainin...

MidiCtrl defaults to off in 1.4.2. Should be on

John, I upgraded my Solaris from 1.3 to 1.4.2 (which is overall great by the way....) and discovered it stopped working as a controller keyboard for my Parva. I used Midi-Ox to verify that no midi was being sent. It turned out that the MidiCtrl parameter was off when it should have been on. I have a...

Re: New Preset Bank by Brian Kehew

I just spent a bunch of time going through all these presets. Wow.....what great work. Thank you so much for these. I learned a lot just looking at how some of these were constructed. Patch 42, Starpeggios was just awesome!
