Thank you very much for adding FX to the LXR. I thought about a simple delay, but I am not a programmer. Is it possible to use the rpt function for this issue? It would be cool to have two more parameters here: repeat time (rtm=sync, 0,...,1000) and repeat feedback (rfb=0,...,100). The repeat time is then the time between two repeats and each repeat is multiplied by rfb/100. I think this could be an ansatz for a simple delay. What do you think?
I did not thought that the repeat could become a delay!!!! this is a great idea! let me think of it and come back to you with an FX based on what you suggested :-)
Delay. Maybe it may by easier if you try to make delay on notes? Like in Yamaha RS7000. I can't explain it in english, but you can read how it works in documentaton: http://www.manualowl.com/m/Yamaha/RS7000/Manual/152719 - page 90 - 91.
I have a lot of fun with RS7000 delay maybe you can implement it to LXR??
Hello, I pushed this morning a new version of the LXR Marimba firmware. I completed the RND function for all the voices (rum 1, 2, 3, SNARE, Cymbal and HitHat) can be randomized.
PS: For the crazy LXR coders (who will understand what I mentionning below ;-) ) I think I will stop coding for a while (I need to work on other projects ;-) ) and I need more knowledge about the LXR code.
Especially I need to think on how to add more "knobs" as I am stack on the CC2_..._... declaration at 256 values/parameters !!! I exceed the limit :-(
I would need to add a special topic for DEV with all my questions and concerns :-) for Julian Rudeog , tb323, etc :-)
New big release !!! I change the way you can Loop and Divid: GO on the PERF menu, then select steps 10 or 11... until 16 :-) Enjoy the looping effects! to reset, press 9 !
I also added two FX sections ;-) FX1 is the OTO FX FX2 is the new FX I am working on (very very long :-( )
- I tried delays :-( not successfull, crashes, too short delays, well audio delay is not for me (I am not good enough in programming).
I am thinking to try to develop the midi delay stuff ! (like on the RV7000 I guess?) In september I will try to develop this function. ---
here are some more news .. - I have to admit that I worked on other projects ;-) - I will continue my developments end of august.
But meanwhile, I did try many things :-) - I improved the OTO effect alike (compression, disto, bit swapping) - you can in the PERF mode make nice loop effect (button 9 to 16).
- I created a compressor function but not really useful / good results :-(
- I added a ring modulation function :-))) I have bugs with it :-(((( I wil make a post to the forum. I need help! - I created a new SRR and BRR function with a smooth parameter. I need to try it this week :-)
- I notice a strange behavior when you use the RND function on sounds.. your new sounds is not saved in the kit :-((((( I don't have clue why this happens!
I noticed that people wanted an individual shuffle... could be nice , I need to think of it :-)
well, as you can see I did many experiments but no real code improvements... I need to define a clearer roadmap: september -> midi delay and a stutter alike effect + Ring modulation
Hello guys! For the moment, I don't think it will be pertinent to include my code the official branch.
Perhaps the looping effect (arturia spark alike) could be interesting, or the "pre filled pattern" .. The ring mod is still under DEV. I would like to improve the OTO biscuit effect.
For the midi delay and midi stutter effect, this is more complicated as those functions are planned but not developped yet :-( I hope I am not too ambitious with these functions but they would help me in Live situation.
I will go for some holidays and I am going to re work a bit on my current code. I also need to take a decision about the user interface...
Well, as you see I am more on experimention Have a nice summer!
Thanks :-) the rnd feature is really nice if you want to design and go to new kind of sounds :-) I really enjoy it when making new kits. On top of that I found some bugs and I will release mid september a new firmware .. with the new RND functions corrected and ring mod :-) I am also thinking of adding a simple filter on the PERF menu, I need one for my live act :-) filtering the whole drums !
Thanks! for your information on my progress: - ring mod is working but I want to improve it. - rnd is still under correction - I am developping a stutter effect a like. the results are not so good yet :-( - better Wet/Dry effect :-) - I have reduced the number of effects to keep only the most musical.
I guess I will maintain a release for mid-september (modulo a big issue that I could find on the way). regards.
Huh this sounds wild, you know I've never tried it, but I will have to give this a whirl, I love bit swapping effects!
I'll make @egnouf a deal - he seems to have far more experience with the DSP code than me. If he can help me figure out how to make user samples loop in the stock .34 firmware, I'll help merge over the copy/paste function! Everyone wins
I should mention there is a LOT of other stuff I've added in the 'Instapattern' branch of the repo above. The full list (so far) is here.
Dear all, I am just back from a long period of work (http://www.poppy-project.org and http://natron.inria.fr ) I will read the different post I have seen and come back to you asap. but I can tell you that I owuld be happy to collaborate/help with others.
I need one more month before I can push my new release.. grrrr !! work!!!! grrr ! but I am happy I have a work ;-)
A question, I cannot use the Marimba firmware, neither the brendan clarke one, when I boot the LXR it shows *header error*. What does that mean? But I'm always able to use 0.33 official. Some thoughts about what I'm doing wrong.
I got sample looping working fine (apart from it doesn't seem to want to work on the FM secondary oscillator, even though you can select a user sample for it's waveform). I also added a new voice parameter: a switch that lets you turn looping on and off.
I've no idea how to go about releasing the code so that someone could use it. I could just ZIP the entire thing up I guess and someone could figure out how to merge it?
I've tried to email a .ZIP archive to you at that address. It seemed to bounce back (gmail not like .ZIP files?) so I sent it again with a .PNG extension. Hopefully it got through!

Should we expect these additional functions to go in the next 'official' firmware too?
For the moment, I don't think it will be pertinent to include my code the official branch.
Perhaps the looping effect (arturia spark alike) could be interesting, or the "pre filled pattern" ..
The ring mod is still under DEV.
I would like to improve the OTO biscuit effect.

How's the update going? Really interested at the improved effects. Is it possible to merge Marimba with Brendan Clarke's version where youre able to copy voice parts in between diffrent pattern?
He used 0.34...
