Randomize not working Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
maxxatgit opened this issue · comments
These plugins are great, thank you!
I want to use randomize to generate new patches, but randomize does not work on my computer.
Keyboard shortcuts do not work. Ctl + click works to reset a parameter to it's default, but all standalone keyboard shortcuts do not work.
Thank you.
Hi.
A randomization and other keyboard shortcuts only works for a box of blue bars (barbox) like the one in the image below.
To use it:
- Click or move mouse wheel on a barbox to focus.
- Stay the mouse cursor on the barbox.
- Press R key.
(Probably) another person was requested the same feature for GenericDrum, so at least that synth got a bit better randomization now. I pushed the change now, so it will be available in like 30 minutes if nothing goes wrong.
I just realized that you are on Ubuntu. In that case, the plugin may not receive the keyboard shortcuts. VSTGUI is a bit flaky on Linux.
I'm considering to change GUI library to something like static Qt, but it's not priority and will take long time.
Thank you for your reply. I didn't know the random function is only for the boxes of blue bars. That works perfectly!
What I was hoping for is a random function like the button on your web synthesizers at github.io. They are great for generating samples, but I would like to generate presets that I can start with and modulate a few parameters in real time in a musical piece.
The plugins are still great exactly how they are now. Thank you!
Which synths are you using the most? I can add randomization button but only to a few of them. This is to reduce the work when I eventually port them to other GUI library.
Wow! That is amazing...
Generic Drum, Clang Cymbal, and FM Glassy Pad.
Thank you so much...
Randomization button is added to ClangCymbal on develop branch. Could you test it?
GenericDrum already got a randomization button in version 0.1.1. Check out the release page.
FMGlassyPad isn't available as a plugin. Maybe I'll work on it when I find a fast sin/cos implementation.
I don't know how to compile/build...
I just tested the new Generic Drum - Random button is great!
There are so many parameters, it's a long process to get to a working preset. It's great that you include presets with it.
Don't worry about FMGlassyPad, I'll just generate samples from it. It really sounds good! I have gotten some really nice Roland D-50 type sounds out of it.
Many thanks! :)
Here's ClangCymbal built on Ubuntu on GitHub Actions. Is this sufficient or you'd like to have more narrow randomization?
More narrow randomization would be great. many of the randomizations do not produce any sound. The randomization on the web synth ClangCymbal works quite well. Many useful patches.
Thanks for feedback. 👍 I made some changes.
A difference between the web synth and the plugins is gain normalization. Web synth works offline (non real-time), so it can fix the amplitude after rendering. The plugin version can't do this because it's hard to know the max amplitude beforehand.
Thank you!
