    A = 432Hz

    in The Coffee House

    Posted

    As a sound designer and producer of ambient music I see a lot of peeps sprouting this A=432 stuff. Personally, I have never bought into that and I just don't get it.

    And, at first, watching Neely's video I was thinking, "oh no! Not Neely too!" I respect the guy a lot and this video, up to 1:47, was putting that to question.

    Some interesting historical stuff in that video although it didn't really help to broaden my "musical" skills...

    How do you guys overcome the munchies

    Hmmm... A daft one, I guess, but my own personal method of dealing with this is an hour after having my last meal of the day I clean my teeth. That kinda draws a line under my food intake for the day. Ain't gonna work of everyone, or anyone but me, but work it does.

    And the reason for that, more so in the last couple of months, is I ended up with gingivitis and, according to my dentist, the main reason for that was because I was snacking in between meals. I'm on top of of the gingivitis now but only because I have pretty much stopped "inter meal snacking."

    apologies if that is considered TMI...

    NOIRE Grand Piano for Kontakt

    in Deals

    Posted

    Okay, not a deal. But having plunged into the NOIRE deep end yesterday I wanted to share:-

    https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/noire/

    I fancied something "better" in terms of a piano VST.

    I looked into the physical modelling option, Pianoteq and, after a bit of research decided that it wasn't for me.

    I then started to look more into "library" options.

    I've stayed away from sample libraries for so long. Well, not entirely true because I own and use Battery. It seems, though, if you want something that sounds pretty authentic then samples libraries are the way to go, especially for something like grand piano. At least in my opinion, I hasten to add.

    To cut a long story not quite so long, I was looking at the piano day sale offerings on the NI site and, as you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there it is, NOIRE, sneakily added so as to entice you in, and it did, hook, line and sinker.

     

    Anyway, piano library peeps, have a look at the vids and write-ups, let me know what you think :)

     

    cheers

    Can't change patches

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    Difficult to say without seeing your project and the event list showing the order in which you select banks and patches.

    Also, I don't have a Kronos so I am not familiar with its multi timbral setup.

    Normally, each multi timbral "channel" or track will expect a patch change to go out on the MIDI channel assigned to that track.

    For instance, I have a Novation Nova, which is six part multi timbral.

    I first have to select a particular "performance" which is set up to be in multi timbral mode. I send that selection on MIDI channel 7.

    Then for each "program" (or part) I send a PC on MIDI channel 1 for part one, MIDI channel 2 for part two and so on.

    And it is most important that the program change message is sent after the performance change message, and not at the same time. What can happen is that a program can be selected correctly, only to be over-ridden with a performance change, which reverts to a default program for that channel.

    But that is just the way the NOVA is set up.

    Unfortunately, although there is a MIDI standard, each vendor has its own way of implementing that standard. So a "program" on the NOVA might be called a "patch" on a JP-8000.

     

    Sorry if this isn't much of a help.

    Hopefully someone does have a Kronos on this forum. If not, I know someone with a Kronos on another forum and I could pose this question to him and see if he can help.
