breaks

Sorry for the YT short link

I'd mirror if I thought I was posting to anyone but the void

Bonus points go to whoever can tell the song I sampled

Once again I've bounced out a project I was working on in Bitwig, chopped it up in Koala, and resampled it to hell.

Interesting points brought up my a prominent Bitwig user. What are your thoughts?

YT Shorts link — I know, I know, but I could use the engagement 🥂

Having some fun manipulating breaks (as usual)

Soundcloud link

I'm pretty sure this isn't even federating out anywhere 🤷‍♂️

It seems my posts and comments take a while to reach other instances if ever. Any transparency on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for running this place.

I will post a non YT Short link momentarily (though I wouldn't mind the views for the algorithm).

Any projects or demos you'd like to share or talk about? Exploring any new sound design or composition techniques?

Any projects or demos you'd like to share or talk about? Exploring any new sound design or composition techniques? Tried any of the features introduced in the 5.2 Beta and if so have you found a way to incorporate them in your workflow?

#Improvements

Now when importing audio, holding the [CTRL] key will Insert Audio as Raw

Various improvements to audio import behavior:

Better tempo estimation for audio loops based on loose numbers in filenames

Can now read tempo/beat-length information from ACID chunks of WAV files

Can now read tempo/beat-length information embedded by Logic Pro into WAV files

New combination Zoom In Vertically and Zoom Out Vertically functions are now available:

These work both in the Arranger Timeline Panel (for tracks/automation lanes) and the Detail Editor Panel (for notes in the piano-style view, or when using layered editing)

Default shortcuts are [SHIFT]+[CTRL]+[+] ([SHIFT]+[CMD]+[+] on Mac) to zoom in, and [SHIFT]+[CTRL]+[-] ([SHIFT]+[CMD]+[-] on Mac) to zoom out

Zoom In and Zoom Out functions have been renamed Zoom In Horizontally and Zoom Out Horizontally:

To cover all horizontal cases, these functions also work to change track widths in the Mixer Panel

Default shortcuts are the same as before: [CTRL]+[+] ([CMD]+[+] on Mac) to zoom in, and [CTRL]+[-] ([CMD]+[-] on Mac) to zoom out

Menu functions are now grouped into the following submenus:

Content Scaling submenu - contains Scale…, Scale 50%, Scale 200%, Scale 50%…, and Scale 200%… (when available)

Quantize submenu - contains Quantize, Quantize…, Quantize Audio, and Quantize Audio… (when available)

Transpose submenu - contains Transpose a Semitone Up, Transpose a Semitone Down, Transpose an Octave Up, and Transpose an Octave Down (when available)

Slice / Fold submenu - contains Slice In Place…, Slice to Drum Machine…, Slice to Sampler…, and Fold to Takes… (when available)

Tempo submenu - contains Detect Event Tempo…, Set Event Tempo…, Apply Tempo Curve to Arranger, and Set Project Tempo (when available)

Device Defaults submenu - contains Load Default Preset and Save as Default Preset, when a device is selected

These submenus are used both in normal window menus and in context menu (on right-click of objects)

Waveforms are now displayed with higher precision [36283]

Generic controller now supports polyphonic aftertouch [36336]

VST3: Implemented the IPlugInterfaceSupport interface
