  • I just noticed the zipper noise is directly related to the buffer latency setting. The lower the latency the worse the cc response. This is true even if there is nothing else running on the iPad, there is only one track in ns2, and audio cpu usage is < 7%. It’s even true if the ns2 is stopped and you just monitoring in…
  • Data and notes together in same part. Got excited there about the linked parts. I have never used them - at least not intentionally. But I went back to one of saved copies with missing data looking for the link icon in any parts but not there. It looks like you can’t really link by accident. Even if the link button is…
  • Thanks all. Great forum. Learning a lot here.
  • @bobheads I am with you 100% on everything you just said. You obviously did not need my advice on how to develop an idea - apologies for that. I am thrilled to know there are others who struggle with exactly the same things I do! I too was a full time performer for over 20 years and have been composing here and there for…
  • I am not even going to touch your mixing concerns. You are all light years ahead of me on that. Compositionally why did you stop? This is really interesting stuff. That little melody alone begs for development in any number of ways. Take it apart, shake it up, change the patch, the key. That growling effect to me is really…
  • @bobheads I can’t thank you enough for your comments. I was not intentionally going for Genesis but I am a child of the 70’s. I think you and @AceRimmer are right in that I may have been sub consciously doing that. It is not possible for any of us to not be influenced by what we have heard before. Our systems naturally…
  • Thanks @Cray23 . Ya know I think this is the first time I have put out 2 pieces where you didn’t do 2 or 3 in between 😀
  • Wow man! Love it. I agree about the mix. I have a lot to learn in that regard. And huge thanks for the secret to doing that vocal thing. Been trying to make something like that happen for awhile. Never would have thought of bit crusher for it.
  • Thanks for the kind words. And very perceptive on the attack comment. That’s exactly what a wind controller gives you - real time control of envelope. You are not locked into the same ADSR for every note.

  • There ya go again! How in the world do you produce as much quality as you do? Are you really 2 or 3 people ? 😀. Definitely a corrupted something. I was in a lucid nightmare. Fortunately or unfortunately it ended before I got sucked down into it too deeply. Very scary. Double ups!
  • Where to start? First of all how do you stay so prolific? I have not even figured what I want to do since I finished my last project and you are cranking out quality stuff in days. Weird? Not at all. It’s eminently listenable. Not to mention cohesive. The 7 note motif is present throughout, in one form or another, and…
  • Thanks @Cray23. Wish I could take credit for the pic. Got it off pixabay. Another creator creating for free - just like the rest of us. Oh well, such is art.
  • Wow man. First thing in the morning. I’m awake now - who needs coffee? This is truly exciting stuff. Gotta ask - all the risers and fall offs - are those programmed into the patches? Or is it pitchbend automation? Love your mixing too - a lot going on yet everything is clean and clear. Gotta get over here more often. I get…
  • Never mind. Just found the answer I was afraid of in another thread. https://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/community/index.php?p=/discussion/300/how-can-i-move-clips-and-keep-track-automation-in-sync#latest. Sadness. How do we get the developer some help with either coding NS or the rest of his life so he has more time to code…
  • Much of what I hear in pattern based pieces loses my interest in the unvarying repetitiveness of it. Kind of like listening to a fan. Remember this a “boomer” talking so you need to understand my musical roots are likely alien to you and most others here. However you have broken free of that limitation for me. You change…
  • Thanks @Cray23. Appreciate the compliment. Auto quantize does seem to work on cc data in NS, a cool feature actually, but alas it was turned off. Can’t really quantize a wind driver performance. There is a separate discussion about the resolution issue in another topic. I personally would take high resolution midi…
  • I had never heard of Ray Lynch. Thanks for turning me on to him! Love it - my kind of music. Kind of new age neo classical. Gonna keep listening.
  • Thanks man. Appreciate it.
  • Attached are 2 files that I think clearly demonstrate the problem. I recorded midi into NS and simultaneously recorded direct to audio into MultiTrack as an audio effect in the same track. LiveAudio is the direct to audio recording. MidiPlayback is the audio rendering of the midi track. The Obsidian response to midi cc is…
  • @Trigger_the_Monkey “it may not be ideal, but have you tried correcting the really bad zippering by re-drawing the CCs for that short section by hand? Just make sure you turn grid off (bottom left of the screen when you are editing the CC recording). This may be enough to make it usable.” Problem is that it’s not a short…
  • Yes. Real time quantize is set to off. The cc data does not look quantized. Just fewer events than I would expect.
  • To illustrate, I recorded 2 quick mod wheel movements into ns and Cubasis simultaneously. Attached (I hope) are screen shots of what was recorded. You can see many more events in cubasis recording.
