SOFTWARE UPGRADE "Multilayer"

Hi @jofemodo,
the bold click (with the lower right knob) did the trick of opening a menu for deleting a single layer and for changing the MIDI channel (really nicely done!).

About the security question: Image you are standing on stage - thousands of fans are shouting your name and you accidental hit update :sweat_smile:
This is of cause not my kind of problem, for me it is more like being at some place without computer and the update overwrites the HDMI settings.

Regards,
Martin

OK! I will do :wink:

Regardin the layer menu that opens with the bold click, i have plans fot adding more options, like “traspose scale”, …

Regards!

OH WOW!!! this is massive, WELL DONE. All the features sound great, but TouchOSC is just over the top. Exactly what I was wishing for. One dumb question will TouchOSC work over ethernet? Working on midi knob box and it supports TouchOSC bridging also, would be great connecting the two direct :slight_smile:)

Of course, @yogi! You can use ethernet OR wifi, but not both at once (by now).

I downloaded MyOSC, changed the IP and started the BridgeMode. Which layout do you use and what is possible now?

And how do I delete snapshots? Bold press lets me remove layers. I don’t have touch options.

Deleting snapshots is not possible from the UI. You have to delete with SFTP or command line. I will add the option ASAP.

Regarding the touch interface … What “touch options” do you want? :wink:

Regards!

Great! Really good job done! I can’t wait the moment I will come to my studio and will try it!

Thousand of respects!

Really impressive!!! Thanks a lot to @jofemodo and all the developers behind the project!
Big Claps!!

Hey @jofemodo,

thanks a lot for this awesome effort. Very great job!

Best Regards
Michael

Hi @jofemodo
now I had time to checkout the new version! Amazing - very nice job!!! :smile:

For the next version(s): Can you add the folliowing plugins:

  • mod_meter
  • setBfreak

Both are located in zynthian-recipe/recipe. The current install/update-system works for me. But it is not really nice code…

Regards, Holger

Hi @C0d3man!

Currently i’m working in the Web Configuration Tool and after that i would like to release a new SD image, including all your work and improvements with LV2 plugins:

  • mod_meter
  • setBfreak
  • qmidiarp
  • fluidsynth??
  • something more?? :wink:

Probably i will have a lot of questions when i start to make tests with all this, so be prepared … jeje! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Regards!

Hi @jofemodo

:sunglasses: !

I am working on a way to load files into fluidsynth, so that only one fluidsynth-plugin is needed for all sf2-files (which can be uploaded with your new web-interface :wink:).

For something more I can say that I will also try this for linuxsampler… but I think this won’t be ready before #MFB2017

Lars and I will start on Friday with planning the setup for the booth.

Hi guys!

I did update some plugins on my Zynthian. Some of them are already in the recipes, but they are not installed in the Gorgona image.

For most plugins it was necessary to change only some optimizations in the makefile (remove -mtune=generic -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse) and adjust the installation path to /zynthian/zynthian-plugins/lv2/

At the end of the installation I also ran the MOD-UI update (/zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts/recipes/postinstall_mod-lv2-data.sh)

An Impulse Response Loader would be very useful. Is there any LV2 plugin that can be used in Zynthian with the files saved on the SD card?

Here’s the list of plugins I’ve installed on my Zynthian:

#Guitarix

Already in the recipes, but the plugins were not installed.
To compile it was necessary to install some libs (I can’t remember which ones)

#x42 MOD Meter
(https://github.com/x42/modmeter.lv2.git)

#x42 Equalizer
(https://github.com/x42/fil4.lv2.git)

#x42 Tuna Turner
(https://github.com/x42/tuna.lv2.git)

#MOD PitchShifter
(It’s already in the recipes, but the Capo, SuperCapo, Drop, Harmonizer, Harmonizer2 and SuperWhammy plugins were not installed.)
(https://github.com/moddevices/mod-pitchshifter.git)

#TAP
(Already in the recipes, but the plugins were not installed.)
(https://github.com/moddevices/tap-lv2.git)

#ZamAudio Plugins
(https://github.com/zamaudio/zam-plugins.git)

#Invada
I installed with:
apt-get install invada-studio-plugins-lv2
And then i moved the files to /zynthian/zynthian-plugins/lv2/invada.lv2

#RakarRack LV2
(https://github.com/ssj71/rkrlv2.git)

#SHIRO-Plugins
(https://github.com/ninodewit/SHIRO-Plugins.git)

#Mr Bollie Delay
(https://github.com/MrBollie/bolliedelay.lv2.git)

Hi @rod_amaral,

I am currently working on a new installation system. I am not really happy with the current state, but it works (see GitHub - dcoredump/zynthian-recipe: Scripts for several installations for Zynthian inside the folder recipe) .

I think there might be such plugins - do you have a name?

Some of your mentioned plugins are in the new installation system. Others will be ported the next days/weeks.

a bit of advice for anyone using this feature and enjoying a better experience:

  • This feature is monophonic: as in 1 note at a time, monophonic instruments will give you better results, ie. flute, sax. Polyphonic instruments will work as well but you have to stop sustaining notes before you play the next.

  • Each triggered note will allow you to pitch bend a little before suddenly jumping to the next midi note message. A smooth note glide is not possible.

  • This feature detects notes in relation to their actual wavelength. This means it will have a hard time recognizing lower pitch notes and will have a higher latency (delay between you playing the note and aubio recognizing it) A solution if you want to play lower registers comfortably with minimum latency is to play 1 or 2 octaves above the intended notes and to transpose the midi data afterwards.

  • Practice: audio to midi has been around for a while and it requires a different style of playing on each instrument for it to work seamlessly Sonuus g2m , migic , Jam origin, this one is polyphonic!

Best

Thanks for the advice, @mcgperu!

For those of you wanting to tweak with this, you can do it by adjusting the aubionotes parameters in the service script:

/etc/systemd/system/aubionotes.service

The current adjustment is:

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/aubionotes -O complex -t 0.5 -s -88  -p yinfft -l 0.5

And this is the aubionotes documentation:

https://aubio.org/manpages/latest/aubionotes.1.html

You can also get it from command line:

# man aubionotes

As you can see, there are different methods for onset (note-on) and pitch detection, and also a few parameters.

Aubio project is quite active, so perhaps there are new improvements or features that are not present in the Gorgona image’s version, that was compiled in December. In such a case, you could update to the last version. There is a recipe script (/zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts/recipes) that could help you with this.

Regards!

I had tested this nice toy. Yes - it works but it is unisono and I am not a very good guitar player for solo parts. Also it has a noticeable latency.

Regards Holger

so, anyone knows if can we now delete snapshots?
cheers

Yep! Navigate to “Load Snapshot” then bold press on the snapshot you wish to delete. You will be asked to confirm deletion.
