Great! I am just looking at it now.
"- Skinable user interface"
I couldn't see where to do that, am I missing something?
-
its usually a integer change in a skin file in their data folder or something like that.
well t hat's how it is in G2 and ElectraX

Hi Markus,
That small correction to the way Saurus react when you play solo lines in mono mode while pressing the sustain pedal is still missing... :angel:
BTW I like the other improvements.
Just a question about these: in which way the volume envelope and the legato has been enhanced/changed?
Max
P.S. I can't see the skinning options as well :D
-
So far i can not confirm a problem with the sustain pedal, but we'll investigate.
Legato is now more 'smart' when it comes to deciding which note if played when several keys are played. It more 'easy to play'.
The volume envelope has a more precise ending of the decay and reverb tail.

Understood ;)
Concerning the pedal see the reply in the other thread!
-
Hey Max,
i investigated the sustain pedal behaviour. It's difficult to reproduce. It happens only under certain patch settings in combination with certain keys pressed in a certain order in combination with the sustain pedal. ???
But i think i was able to fix the problem. Beside of that i have noticed a problem with legato that was not present in saurus v1.0 which i also fixed.
-
Markus,
No it happens with all the patches as far as I know... One thing you can try is this: hold a note with a finger and press and release the next note quickly (while holding the first one) without using the pedal: you'll hear a trill. Now do the same thing but holding the sustain pedal...
I'm able to reproduce this on all patches, here...
(Anyway I'm still scratching my head because I was sure that ElectraX had a different way of handle this thing).
-
It seems to be fixed now. I'll send out a new beta this week.
-
Fine! ;)

Update:
The mac version of the public beta is also available now.

just installed, and will check it out today. shows as version 1.0.0 in the AU manager (shouldn't it say 1.1??)
and still wish i could hide the keyboard, like in ray blaster... 8)
will report back today, after torturin I MEAN using the plugin...
-
you can.
you just to manually create the file....
and name it:
SaurusHideKeys.cfg
and put it, well in the right place :-)

could u, um...elaborate? how do i make that file? and put it in HD/Audio/Plug-Ins?
EDIT: nevermind! DUH...copied the RB file, renamed it as above, and...all is well. YAY! no fake keyboard! thanx..!
-
...and logic crashes every time i open it (with saurus in a file). so...REMOVED SaurusHideKeys.cfg, had to reboot, and am back in business.
any thoughts? would LOVE to use the plugin without the keyboard showing, but this crashes logic...

sorry, my bad...
that's exactly how I did it too.

I don't use Logic, sorry.
Hopefully, Markus or Bastiaan can chime in here.
For me on both mac and pc, in both nuendo and cubase and maschine, it works fine (strangely on mac, either in cubase and maschine there are glitches with rayblaster hide keyboards for me)

and here, LOL, hiding the keyboard in RB was painless. so, obviously, a logic issue. ugh...

meanwhile...
i do think that saurus sounds better than ever; in fact, i have not been using it, but will now add it to my arsenal. playing with the arps (spellcheck keeps trying to change 'arps' to 'raps' LOL).
and (outside of my one bad moment posted earlier), seems stable. made some music with 8 instances of saurus, and mac seems happy.
OOPS. tried to open my saurus piece, and logic froze, had to force quit. got this:
12/14/12 11:13:04.890 AM Logic Express[577]: Warning: NSSegmentedCell has unknown NSControlSize 3. This will only be reported once.
and here's some odd information:
if i open logic, and open that saurus piece i just made, when i hit play, logic beachballs, freezes.
if i open another song, with no instances of saurus, am fine.
if i open a new file, and open an instance of saurus, am fine.
THEN, i can open the saurus piece, and it plays.
weird? seems weird... 8)
-
I'll have a look and see if I can reproduce the problem here :)

As the load/save feature for the Arp in Rayblaster is now also included in Saurus my question is if those Arp files of both synths are compatible?
Would be cool to load an Arp pattern from e.g. Saurus into Rayblaster and vice versa.
Ingo
-
The arp files are nearly compatible. 95% of the arps will load in the other synth. In some you'll have to fix the 'Arp key mode' parameter and resave it.

Hi Markus,
thanks for the info. The most important thing is to import the pattern itself.
It would be nice if it would be somehow possible to make them 100% compatible but without compromising the overall stability of the plugin.

-
I didn't experience any crashes in my tests and everything worked as epected. The arps of rayblaster and saurus have slightly different features - that's why they can't be 100% compatible.
Beside of that only very few people do sound design and even less will import a Saurus arp to RB and vice versa.

No problem, i just asked if it would be possible. Around 95% should be more than enough. :)
