lately I've been investigating SD in a non usual manner I have a slightly complicated rig with a lot off effects,synth,etc all responding to prg ch. the idea was to build an adaptation that could remember the prog ch settings of my rig and send them could also be a set of c.controlers, sys ex strings, whatever can be sent at one point thru midi to my rig (ok no midi clock) see it as the SD memory manager or library sending by a click a burst of setup messages to the toys, this in a very elegant manner as the entries can have long names, have a date, comments attached to them in the library a personnal rig setup database As I'm using an opcode 8port se and the rig is on different out ports I out put the prg ch to LB1 and with use of multiple instances of midiloopback to the toys port everything is there in soundiver to build such a setup ada; its even working (i did it) but tedious to program If you never tried to build an ada you probably can stop here :=) some small things that could help a lot an option for all the editor objects that when selected would change the behaviour of sound diver as follows: when you click on an SD entry (autosurf) the messages that are described in the editor objects (Message collumn on the bottom) are send with the parameter values "VAL" that are saved in the entry a new value for each editor object that would mute it for the current "snapshoot" meaning that only the "unmuted" objects are sent when recalling this entry I could go on but just those two mods could interest a lot of people which could even take SD on stage with a small laptop with a midi interface. you get the idea ? good night Claude

One feature that I think would be great, would be to have a function where you could take an existing module and create the adaptation equivalent of it. This would allow people to update out-of date modules all on their own, without having to repeat everything that's already there. An example is my Akai S3000xl sampler. There is an S3000 module, but no S3000_XL_ module (or adaptation). The difference between the two models is that the later S3000xl supports a Multi mode. The sysex structure of the S3000xl builds directly upon that of the previous models, so it would be a big timesaver to be able to press a button, and ZAP! - there's an adaptation version of the module that I can modify, as opposed to creating everything from scratch. Hope this makes sense. -Markus (not Fritze :-)

Dear Michael Okay - I understand that SDiver doesn't have a debug feature, but it still does it even when opened without using the debug feature. The symptoms are: Opening sound-diver while logic is running causes Sound diver to give an error sound (it sounds like daffy duck tripping over on a bannana peel, you know - a cartoon slliip! - and it's not part of he control panel system sounds, so the sound is generated by sound-diver itself). This sound occurrs a second or two after I launch SD, right before the "splash" sound that normally accompanies the opening of SDiver. It DOES NOT do this if Logic is NOT running. Is there a way to start Sound-diver in a logged mode, or something, so I can check what's going on?

SoundDiver does not have a "debug" feature. The only command line parameter it knows is any file it is supposed to open. If you start SoundDiver by entering "SoundDiver -debug", it will try to open a file "-debug". The strange error message is a bug which I just corrected. It should read "SoundDiver cannot open file "-debug". Unknown File type." Beste Gruesse - best regards, Michael Haydn

Hi Michael I notice that there are several features that are not included in the SY-85 adaption (name server, and editors, mainly). That's fine - I don't mind programming them myself, as it's a good way to learn more about MIDI instruments in general. I'm just at the stage where I feel I could begin to attempt it. My questions are; Have these features been left out because the sysex implementation of the SY-85 won't support them? (ie; am I wasting my time in trying to add this functionality?) Why isn't the name server supported, even though the patch names can be seen in the memory manager? Is it because of the fact that different Bank Select messages are used depending on whether the synth is in Multi mode, or Program / Voice mode (and there's no way to know - as a programmer - which bank selects the user will have programmed in to logic? If so, should I attempt to create a new adaptation that works with the multi settings ONLY (ie; treat the multi part of the unit as a separate instrument with a different adaptation)? If I manage to wade through this MIDI jungle alive and emerge at the other side with a new version of the adaptation with editors, etc. do you guys want it? - or is it too much like "old news - hell, no one bought one of those things anyway"? I guess most of all I just want to know if this is possible to do, and has just been omitted from the official adaptation because of time restraints, or if it's the synth itself, and I am wasting my time (I haven't seen anything so far that would suggest this - it would just be nice to have it confirmed before I spend lots of time on it, only to reach a dead-end). Thanks -Markus

Until Triton module is completed, is it possible to adapt a portion of the Trinity module for use with SD? Also, any idea (weeks or months) before Triton is complete? Thanks, Michael Davis

This is not possible by design. Module can contain any type of code, written in the C programming language. Adaptations are only template files without any code. It's like "I want the engine of a Ferrari 550 built in a bicycle." At 11:28 +1100 19.11.99, Markus McCulloch wrote: >An example is my Akai S3000xl sampler.

We decide carefully which devices can be supported by Adaptations, and which require Modules. The Akai samplers are a typical example. Their architecture is quite weird, e.g. links from Programs to Samples are done by name, not by patch number - so we need a Module, as Adaptations allow only links by patch number.

If you mean the "Plop" sound: this is generated by Logic and gives a hint that something has happened with AutoLink, either an AutoLink client (i.e. SoundDiver) has signed on or off, or an Instrument has been created by AutoLink. This sound can currently not be switched off.

No, the Adaptation is simply very old, and we did not yet have the time to add these features (also due to lack of a test unit). >If so, should I attempt to create a new adaptation that works with the multi >settings ONLY (ie; treat the multi part of the unit as a separate instrument >with a different adaptation)? No, simply extend the existing one. >If I manage to wade through this MIDI jungle alive and emerge at the other >side with a new version of the adaptation with editors, etc. do you guys >want it? If it work yes. But it's probably simpler to extend the existing one. And: you could try to copy and paste the editors object of the TG500 Adaptation as a starting point. Please read the Universal Module Programming Manual thorougly before.

Yes, but how can SoundDiver know where the JV-1010 is connected to before it has been scanned?

I would also love to have a random feature, to be able to change sounds slightly. I used this a lot on my old ATARI Editors (some ten years ago, those were the days...).

Ouch, you found a bug in Logic Audio. It filters out any note-related events when transmitting outgoing MIDI from an AutoLink client. Will be fixed in the next Logic Audio release (not 4.0.6 which is already out).

Can anyone help with the following problems? 1) I don't get any performance names from my Roland A 90, it seems that the request is performed but afterwards the names don't appear in Sounddiver (ver 2.0.10r1-latest). The A 90 has rom version 2.11. The midimonitor shows that names are being dumped, but they don't show up in the memory-manager. 2) Autolink with my Proteus 2 don't work. When i'm trying to use "update use autolink" I get a message, that Sounddiver can't find a matching channel and port, allthough all the names are shown in Sounddiver! 3) I can't get Sounddiver to recognize my Nordlead when I'm trying to install it.

A question to all you experts out there. I’m working with my pod on a B&W G3, running Logic 4 and the OEM Sounddiver and everything is running well. But sometimes the both of us, my pod and me have to work at another place where a good, old atari is present, running Logic 2.5 the last atari version of logic. Q.: Is it possible to bring pod sounds I created or downloaded on the mac-sounddiver to the atari (logic) without overwriting the pod presets? Thanks a lot Stefan

I use Soundiver 2.0.10 and I've some problems to control all parameters of the sampler with soundiver. I'm on Mac 8.6 on a 9600/200. Is anyone has some experience with ASR 10. Thanks allready...Phil...

you mentioned a week or two ago that the bug in the qs series about modifying the mix settings is being looked into. without trying to be too impatient about it, is there a current workaround and what is the timetable as to when it will be fixed? thanks sy ~~~ Math problems?
