A little workflow capture with the new audio clip launcher in vangelis:
You can also see in action the file manager with the new “collections browser” feature.
I hope you like it
Ahhh! OK! … You never heared about zynthian “collections” until today. Neither me! But probably they are going to be a popular zynthian topic in the near future.
Yesterday i realized there is a vast world of CC0 / CC-BY / CC-SA contents in the wild, so I hope to make available some “collection packages” very soon. For Vangelis, of course.
For the curious, here is a kind of “collections spec”:
A collection is directory structure with data files.
The directory structure is the same than the “files” directory. Something like:
Art
Audio
IRs
Midi
Neural Models
Patterns
Samples
Not all these subdirs need to exist in a collection. Only those with files inside.
The files can be a mix of audio samples, mid, IRs, neural models, etc.
Collections have an “Art” folder with graphics and a yaml file with info about author, license, description, etc.
Collections are stored in the “collections” directory, under “zynthian-my-data”.
I have a question about clippy. Maybe I do not really catch the functions. Anyway: What I am looking for is a way to load and play beat samples as loop, synced to the clock, fitted into the bar. I understand: This is not achievable without issues (changing pitch and length in real time) but Is there any chance Zynthian can do that?
I’m not sure what you mean by “beat samples”. If you load an audio clip into a clip player and enable warp, it will be time stretched to fit the synchronised loop. You can manually adjust the quantity of beats in the loop to get the right timing. This is exactly what clippy does.
