  • not yet. More of a long term/maybe at the moment. I think patrick was working on moving the samples into faster memory to get the buffer time down. The issue when I tried playing around with it is that the loop time is quite long because of (I think…
  • thanks! The idea with the bipolar assign is that you can have one parameter maxed when the macro is maxed and the other param at min when the macro is maxed - so you can crossfade two parts with one control, for example. You should get the full swee…
  • Hi Satori, Welcome When you load a 'pattern' file, you load all 8 patterns in the set at the same time. If you've only been working with the first pattern, the rest are probably just blank in all the files you've saved. There isn't currently a way …
  • A little weekend knob twiddling. Just LXR and Waldorf Rocket for sounds. Virus and EHX Cathedral FX.
  • Oh yeah, might want to add to the list - filter keytracking amount would be super helpful Pretty easy to implement, and wouldn't change the sound of existing kits.
  • I've been stuffing some more performance functionality into my custom firmware, and have added a "Transpose Function", nestled in the shift menu while in PERF mode. It is per-track, but shift-voice button changes active voice in this FW, so it's qui…
  • More weekend additions! This one might take some explanation, so read the readme: http://brendanclarke.com/files/LXR/ In short, there is an expanded Performance menu. Page 1 adds two 'Performance Macros' to the usual morph and sample rate controls…
  • Borfo was talking about how the guys over at MidiBox have native USB midi drivers to do this now. The Midibox processor is the same as the LXR, I don't see any reason this couldn't potentially be done, the hardware is all there. It would be very coo…
  • no no, you are misunderstanding me - I'm just talking about moving where the voice MIDI notes are stored. They are currently stored in kit data - every time a new kit is loaded, all the notes that the voices respond to can change. They should be glo…
  • It's possible, it's not something I would work on any time soon. It would require a lot of re-working code for almost no new functionality. If you have a voice you like, just save it to a new kit to use later. The only thing you can't do now is move…
  • Here's a fun one for the weekend: Voices can be changed by pattern automation. There is a new step automation parameter "Voice LoadKit#". When this is set, and the step is activated, the voice will do an individual voice load from the kit file numb…
  • you cannot currently plug a usb midi device into the LXR's USB port and expect it to work OTB. You can use a controller with MIDI ports, or an iconnect host. Or learn to cast some voodoo... http://forum.sonic-potions.com/discussion/483
  • Maybe it makes sense to have different note settings for each channel...   I don't have the LXR in front of me now, but there are two completely separate things being referred to here. The 'note' setting which is currently sitting in the 'mix' pag…
  • Some thoughts: global note setting: I scratched my head over this for a while. Does this mean something like "move track note assignments from kit data to global data"? This is sensible and much easier to put into my custom FW now that kits are vers…
  • The Tx filter controls what MIDI data the LXR sends, The Rx filter controls what MIDI data the LXR responds to. C represents MIDI CC controller data, P is program change messages, N is note, R is MIDI realtime - that is, sequencer messages (start/st…
  • I've also added a step copy function. There is both main step copy and sub step copy. Main Step Copy:   - Press and hold 'copy'   - Press a sequencer button (it will flash)   - Press another sequencer button. All the sub-steps of the first main step…
  • Brendan! I found a bug it seems. When i tweak fine tune parameter of HH to different value than -63 DR1 and DR3 start to sound distorted. I fixed a number of bugs over the last few days - I've tried it with the version that's on the web now and ca…
  • I've made a small modification to the stock .36 firmware introducing the file version number into drum kits. This means that you don't have to worry about kits with filter set to 'off' being inadvertently changed to 'LP2' when loaded. kit files are…
  • Great! I'd love to see some video of what people are doing with it, I'll try to do some over the weekend too.
  • they do, but if you want to change the pattern of a single voice, you can fudge it by using the track copy function, you just have to turn off the 'follow' global option that locks the viewed pattern to the playing pattern. track copy can then be do…
  • Have fun let me know if there are any problems! I went through Julian's commits again last night and realized I had missed the fine tune on voices 4-6, so that's in there now, along with a bugfix where the encoder could cause the morph value to rol…
  • First thing to clear up to avoid any potential confusion: The different 'modes' do not change at all how the LXR operates, only what parameters can be manipulated from the front panel. The pattern storage works like this: 'Pattern File' --> (eac…
  • Custom firmware now includes the updates in .36! I haven't done a super lot of testing, but the filter is there for sure, and I don't hear the reported 'morph glitch'
  • Had to get a free few hours to go over the changes - I've included the updates from .34 to .36 into my custom firmware now! brendanclarke.com/files/LXR/ or github.com/brendanclarke/LXR/tree/merge-test I'll try to implement some version control o…
  • Hi! I added this to my firmware a while back, if you want to try it. The MIDI CC assignments are very different on my fork - they use the instrument channels instead of the global channel, and there are no more NRPN's. Morph amount is assigned to th…
  • You may want to look into my firmware. I've added the option to 'scale' each pattern to 2, 4, ... 128 bars by reducing the resolution of the sub steps. I find 8 bars the most useful since each sub-step becomes a 16th note. It's a bit of a pain to en…
  • I just did a gig on the 10th using an LXR, Octatrack, and Virus TI. No video of what my fingers are actually doing, but I did get the whole 45 minute set down in audio, and some shots of very pretty lasers Very happy with how this setup works - an…
  • Yes!  I have some time again, so I will definitely be looking into this
  • I had a quick look at brendans git, but it seems like quite some big changes to some of the files, so it will be a bit more work for me to understand them first Willing to help out on my end Is the bug list up somewhere? Maybe I can cross a fe…
  • Are you using my firmware or stock .34? I messed around with the letter entry on mine, but I'm not married to it. Let me know which one you like better. On stock, I found the sensitivity of the character knob to be too fine to easily select letters …
