  • The 3 modes of resampling

    Perhaps someone has checked this out and it would be good to systematise. There are three modes of recording: into a pad, into a resample folder and into an audio track. I wonder how they differ in terms of start/end sync, normalization, wav destination and possibly also where in the effect chain the recording takes place. I guess there is some naming coined.

    The 3 modes of resampling
    1. Into-pad
    2. Pre-masterbus
    3. Post masterbus

    what is recorded
    1. any unmuted track and its effects less track volume (normalised instead)
    2. any unmuted track and its effects less track volume
    3. unmuted or soloed tracks + effects, master effects less master volume

    quantized start or recording
    1. optional (from stopped playback)
    2. yes
    3. optional (from stopped playback)

    quantized end of recording
    1. ?
    2. yes
    3. ?

    location of recorded file
    2. Record folder
    3. clips folder (project must be saved as pre-requisite)
    4. resample folder

    normalised
    1. yes
    2. no
    3. no

    What do you think?

  • Transpose individual notes !

    When in midi synth clip, shift + 3 right one up off the top of my head, enters transpose. Press an audition pad to select note to be transposed, press SELECT, now set the value; zero for no change.

    Turns out it is possible to have a single midi note play at a different pitch :) Selective transpose if you will.
    Has anyone found a way to put this to good use? Could be great for pattern variations or notes borrowed from other scales. This does not spread across octaves, so might derive from kit, where there is instant application: a CH motive might be, at times, taken over by snare etc.

  • Change a song's key (?)

    @Alter said:
    To transpose from Fmin to Gmaj, in the scale mode, SHIFT+ press UP/DOWN knob and turn clockwise +2, then press SHIFT+ SCALE to select major scale. This is not a fun operation. I don't think deluge is so much fun to operate..

    So essentially, you make all notes available, shift all content to new root note and superimpose the type of scale. Good to know, thanks.

    looking for something similar to changing the scale (Maj/Min/etc.), but also transposing to a different key.

    Hi. Don't want this to sound like I have anything against the Novation method, but there a couple of things here.
    First, being able to reassign the root without modifying the composition is in itself something I think we don't want to lose as we have good made better. I don't know much about scales but based on my experience with Scaler2 midi effect for DAWs, precisely the same chord, i.e. one consisting of a given set of notes, has different character and a different host of follow-ups depending on what the root note is assumed to be. In lay terms, it may sound like the base chord for one song but add intensity of another, all other factors being equal. This is quite bizarre, but also fascinating and completely new to me.
    So if you create a chord you like, you may still build dozens of completely different compositions in different keys. You may have created it as chord I for a song only to thing after a while it may be a IV or a V of the song or for the subsequent part, in which case the root note should be reassigned. In that respect, the functionality the way it is should stay to support more flexibility of composing interesting progressions.

    When it comes to the functionality you use in Novations, I am sure this may be very useful for three things.
    One, creative process at home for songs to be bounced to audio. Two, on-stage harmony improvisations. Three, home-made and tested transitions to be quickly recreated on-stage.
    The second case I would consider completely outside of my capacities - I could not improvise with scale changes with confidence. The audience would go out after my two leaps of faith max.
    As for creation at home, I would not mind as-is presented by @Alter. I can see how menu diving may be a hindrance for some people though. Do you do many such changes on your Novation? Can you present some track of yours with such changes?

    Three, there is an easy way already. You can create one 'scene' in a given key and scale, save it. copy it to another pattern, do the change the menu-diving way, save it next to the first one. Voilla.
    Now when you are on stage, fire pattern one, do some performance around it, then switch to the other one - and it happens seamlessly. Any good?

    Menu diving in itself is not bad; it expands possibilities without increasing the size of desk occupied by the device, or the need to order a new better model for every new feature.

    Where it fails is I think live performance, and my point is that for most users probably, scale changes are not what they want to take chances with when someone is listening. I might be wrong though.

  • Apply an effect to the whole kit

    So there is no way, I infer; the 'grid-accessed' effects are hardwired to individual drum pads.
