thank you for making the world better

[@gjb7966]

this thing is a beast... the spectral morphing feature makes it such a well-considered design! next-level stuff. amazing work, dillan!

[@ianmalcolm2]

this thing rules -- combined with an expression control and some lfos mapped to x & y axes --- this is such fun to play on an actual midi keyboard. well done

[@zydecokid1898]

thanks for this - its an immense and wonderful instrument - great work ..

[@jrettetsohyt1]

Can slicing by vowel sound slice by word? So then, using path mode as a sequencer, you could reorder the words? And using the phase vocoder, make it sort of sing those words? Thanks.

[@fumiokiji9716]

Thanks for this amazing instrument! I'm experimenting with the vocal onset tool in the input tab and am wondering how I'd go about adjusting the settings so that my samples are only triggered at higher amplitudes. At the moment I'm enjoying triggering samples with the bare minimum of sound (all it takes is a breath) and liking how samples will cut out at higher volumes but I would like to know how to set for triggering only in loud passages. Thank you, Dillon.

Hey just turn up the value of the "Threshold" parameter

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

This thing is cool…I got some really subtle variations going with some random stereo pan and it’s a great way to add some movement to otherwise repetitive beats 🤙🏻🙏😎🐓

If I understood correctly this neural network (SOM) can detect pitch of some fragments in a sample? Is it possible to make a mode to map multiple chops from the loaded samples to a certain midi notes? I mean for midi input.

[@Jam_Bon]

Yeah there are 3 modes - one of them just plays one selection, then the second one you can map as many as you want starting at c3 (can move up or down) … then mode 3 is like a map you plot out by selecting different points and it plays in the order you select when you play on the keyboard. Only played with it a few times, but it’s awesome. You should check out his other longer videos will show you what you want to know if I’m understanding you correctly!

[@Lynnaverym]

If you're looking to have the notes map chromatically in a scale it's something you will have to set up yourself still

[@dillonbastan246]

Yes as mentioned you can do that with the three playback modes, Rings mode is probably best for your case but also Paths could work depending on what you want exactly. Check out the walkthrough video or product Feature description for more info. To clarify, the SOM clusters fragments of samples based on whatever spectral features you set it to analyze. So it doesn't exactly detect pitch, but it can cluster the fragments based on whatever descriptor you choose you can check out elsewhere where I talk about the different options.

[@ok.frasco]

Sooo cool can you do also a video walkthrough for the audio input feature?

[@dillonbastan246]

yea eventually i want to do one for that and doing some pseudo style transfer stuff with it!

[@genoellilienstern5789]

@@dillonbastan246 Exactly that would be very much appreciated from me as well.
