CaraterÃsticas:
Since revisão of Emagics SoundDiver 1,5 in edição of July 1995, the program submitted it diverse atualizações. Many new caraterÃsticas consist of revisões cosméticas, in mudanças in the nomenclature, repairs of error, and new publishers for the devices that beat to the streets apà ³ s versão 1.5. Além, diverse mudanças substantive deserves a minute examination more prà ³ ximo, including the supreme ¡ ficos of aumentação beautifully of the programs, sustentação for the commands keys, and the consistência of the caraterÃsticas between platforms of the Mac and the Windows. SoundDiver sends the same with versões of the Mac and the Windows in CD-ROM. Since liberação of versão 3,0, the two platforms share of idênticas caraterÃsticas (exceção of sustentação of diferenças between convenções of the menu of the Mac and the Windows and relação of MIDI).
I installed SoundDiver in mine ³ smio of functioning 8 of Mac 8500 of the power without a hook. The program jà ¡ in £o supports 68000 Mac, but all the PowerPC farà ¡. The project of proteção anti-cà ³ pious consists of one autorização provisà ³ laughs at the CD-ROM. Later that movimentação lasts authorized é, the program order the original COMPACT DISC each few weeks. One week before autorização dies, SoundDiver presents an acknowledgment as soon as você in £o serà ¡ stopped by the surprise. That dongles of losing the better strokes and são of what instalações of the elétricos ruÃdos of the hard record, but its in £o especially convenient.
WHERES MY GEAR?
When lanç first, SoundDiver makes the sweepings of the MIDI ports to classify for is relações and baÃas of patch that conetam the MIDI gear and então quickly opens the window of instalação (to see Fig. 1). That the window supplies a list of publishers one disposição of sintetizadores, of demonstrators, me ¡ quinas of cylinder, processors of the effect, and other devices. Left À of the list são três keyboard keys to install publishers: the sweepings all the keyboard key vote its system of MIDI for each device in the list (and it takes one when); the sweepings keyboard key verific to only see if hà ¡ selected devices. I recommend to use the últimos. If all its recognized arent of the devices, the keyboard key of leaves adição it to select and setup manually devices.
I tried the sweepings first all opção. Apà long ³ s one avaliação of mine conexões, the window of instalação opened to only disclose some of my devices of systems (to see Fig. 2). That one in £o é necessarily the imperfection of the programs. For example, primitive mine execução of Casio VZ-10s needs instalação and manual discharges the panel frontal. My Kawai K5m opts SysEx-incapacitated whenever é psto on.
SoundDiver added sustentação for the open system of the música (OMS), allowing that usuà ¡ rivers commutes freely enters the internal system of MIDI of the programs and OMS. I created one instalação new using the OMS as a MIDI driver; to assure one instalação accurate, I stopped the program and trashed my preferências of SoundDiver in the bender of the system. When I restarted the program, SoundDiver was inicializado and gets ready for setup. Later that new sweepings of my system, the window of instalação showed duplicates of many devices. I continued instalação and suppressed later of the duplicates. When the devices of MIDI são made the sweepings and clarified, appear in the window of instalação of SoundDivers, and a box of day ¡ soon estala above asking if você wants to ask for memà ³ laughs at its devices. In this point, você can recoup the data stored in its devices for edição or the cost ³ day in a library.
OLÃ! , INFORMAà ‡ ÃO
The MIDI devices appear in the window of instalação as Ãcones three-dimensional realÃsticos, together with a virtual line of baÃa of the conetada patch to a virtual computer. Estalar in a Ãcone opens the window of the device (called previously the manager memà ³ laughs). The window of the device indicates its architecture of memà ³ laughs at the sintetizadores (to see Fig. 3). I double-clicked in my Ãcone de Korg Wavestation A/Ds and was complimented with a window that will count to one disposição of the bizantina architecture of memà ³ laughs at synths, including patches, seqà ¼ ências of the wave, performances, instalações Multimode, global parâmetros, and same scales of usuà ¡ river. That one can be a sword of double gume.
With the all this informação presented immediately, to find its way around (especially them devices in the complex you £o how much the Wavestation) can be difÃcil. Happily, SoundDiver supplies diverse ways to focus in what você needs. The keyboard keys in the superior part of the window of the device can hide or to reopen all nÃvel of the structure of memà ³ laughs at the devices, as programs, combinações, and global adjustments. Além of this, você can indicate or to hide each recouped bank of the device, leaves that it to isolate a única ¡ rea of memà ³ laughs to edit. Você can equally buzz the window of the device inside or for it are for a wide or narrow general sight of the Ãndices of the devices.
The window of the library leaves to store it any thing, at the patches of the devices its Ãndices of memà ³ laughs at MIDI systems. Because the libraries can only arrest above all that você needs to store, its fists important to remain it pair agradà vel of related data, and SoundDiver that if put in charge. For example, to estalar in a program of Korg M1 in the window of the library ¡ river discloses a list of combinações that they use the program. Similarly, to estalar in all combinação supplies a list of programs that understand the higher sound of nÃvel. To suppress of a program soon opens an acknowledgment of the box of day ¡ você that youre approximately to remove a component of a structure of memà ³ laughs at higher nÃvel, thus hindering that its combinação with care sculpted of bronze-seção sounds as a Martian orchestra of the banjo or reciprocal.
PUBLISHING AUXÃLIO
Double-clicking in a component of memà ³ laughs at the devices (as the patch or the performance) opens the window of edição. combinações Top-level that supplies layers of the patch generally, interrupter of the speed, separações, têm and so on acessÃvel to edit ligações of the keyboard key to the components lower-level of the patch. In this way, você can shuttle between the performance easily and its components, making edit as necessà ¡ river. If você thinks that it seems as too much so that a monitor holds, right of youre. However, você can resize windows to focus in what você needs and conserves adjustments of the window as Screensets. Você can então firm between screens with commands keys.
SoundDiver indicates its architecture of patchs in the pretty detail, color-coded. Você can change the color of the deep ones, the parâmetros, labels of parâmetro, the fields of value, and same of the fists that of £o it forms to the envelopes.
In some cases, the programmers of Emagics had extended to caraterÃsticas além of the capacities of a native of the devices. For example, além of what the tÃpicos parâmetros of programação in série additive of the sintetizador of Kawai K5000, the publisher of the patch of SoundDivers supplies one exposição three-dimensional of the form of wave of the time-and-amplitude, a menu pull-down of forms of dwarfed wave ¡ logas of the sintetizador of the pré-adjustment, and a variety of adjustments pré-adjusted of the filter of the formante. Além of this, você can load an digital-audio rasp so that the dwarfed ¡ lise and the resynthesis forneça one form of raw wave of the oscillator of that it stops working. The results had supplied good número of interesting springboards timbral programming. Although this caraterÃstica in £o was introduced in versão 1,5, the instrument (and conseqà ¼ entemente, its publisher) arrived in the scene apà ³ s revisão in the one IN. Além of this, função of importação in £o worked até confident versão 3.0.
IN THE SUPERFÃCIE
SoundDiver now supports a variety of superfÃcies of control of MIDI, including technologies SAC-2K of Radikal (to see P. 146 for one revisão of the SAC-2K). I in £o possess one superfÃcie of dedicated control, but I installed a unit dummy in my window of instalação for verific for I am the caraterÃstica of programação of drag-and-drop new of Emagics. As usual, double-clicking in the Ãcone of SAC-2K opens the window of edição; however, in the one place abstração of the Ãndices of memà ³ laughs at the devices, você começ an idea extended of superfÃcie of control. To attribute controls to one parâmetro of the sintetizador, to simply open the window of atribuição of the control, to estalar on one of faders virtual or keyboard keys of SAC-2Ks, and to drag a handle of virtual patch to one parâmetro of the publisher of synth in one another window. The intuitiva interface of user for superfÃcies of control of programação left to program me the SAC-2K dummy with one botã what ³ nicos high or low in mine could select harmà synth of K5000W (to see Fig. 4). I atribuà então fader to change nÃvel of the profit of the group selected of harmà ³ nicos. All the process took less than ten seconds.
SoundDiver leaves it setup a MIDI keyboard as one superfÃcie of control to edit others synths. Você can practically traçar all the incoming message of MIDI to control one parâmetro of edição, as soon as exactly if its keyboard master only offers to the game padrão of the wheels of the bending of modulação and of the step, você can pressionà quickly ¡ - wools in serviço as edição of tools. I April one of my patches of Oberheim Matrix-6R, detached parâmetro of an amount of FM, and the command of the stroke + the L.I could então adjust to my Matrix-6R of my Korg M1 and jogà ¡ - lo when I edited. Você can test edits for playability while você makes its mudanças - one aproximação very musical programação.
One another caraterÃstica of edição intelligent é the window of the general sight. It supplies to a generalized sight of the parâmetros of the devices and flow of the signal, leaves that it to make coarse adjustments to the patch (to see Fig. 5). Único-estalar only is of a device that has adjusted parâmetros opens a publisher full-feature with parâmetro selected visÃvel in the center of the screen. Você can firm between the detail and the general sight of a field in the superior part of the window of edição. That great é material it leaves because it to locate and if to center on the elements that você needs to work on, although one disposição potential baffling of parâmetros.
Unhappyly, the general sights in £o são consistently executed in all the publishers. Me ³ dulo of the K5000W publisher offers parâmetros more of what it could possibly fit in a screen, however in £o has no general sight. Grateful, the publisher for Wavestation A/D makes. ac1ão alternative é to create múltiplo edits windows for a device with each window that shows one ¡ rea of parâmetro different. Você can então resize the windows and the interrupter between them. Lig edits done in a window são the s other windows, but this aproximação seems as a disordered way and a little disfigured of focalização in what você needs.
Você can equally grasp directly sings it part-left of a window of edição (immediately before the coil arrow) and arrastà ¡ - lo to any group of parâmetros. That é a navigational tool acessÃvel, but I it majority of good coming a menu pull-down context-sensitive to jump to a especÃfico group of parâmetros (such as seção of the filter). When to sail a complex device, dragging até that você finds its ¡ rea of interest in £o é solução most elegant.
TO ADAPT OR TO DIE
adaptações são publishers user-created, and the publisher of adaptação in leaves £o it to create seen general, as soon as adaptações in £o têm windows of the general sight. This brings me it my following great complaint: of SoundDivers 346 publishers, 65 são me ³ dulos and 295 são adaptações. £o can seem trivial face you many devices supported the carp on relação of Emagic-been the author to the publishers user-created. However, adaptações differs from me ³ dulos of vain ¡ laughs ways, and the s times its games of the caraterÃstica são we mÃnimos. For example, adaptação of K5R offers nenhuns publishers any; river only offers to capacities of the library ¡. Me ³ dulos são generally publishers full-featured. Its great one that SoundDiver includes easinesses to create publishers; because a final user, however, I very a little would pass my time with música and healthy project of what with tables of values of SysEx.
Completely good the é manual and completely approaches número enormous of caraterÃsticas. Additionally, the CD-ROM will count to rasps of the pdf with supported devices list of documentação and parâmetros editable. Você equally começ one guides of programação to create adaptações and an order for rasps of compilação of the aid. Software supplies to the extensive aid context-sensitive, even so the program stopped frequent unexpected in the way to select you ³ peaks.
DIVER FOR LOW
One programs of the publisher-library ¡ river can more than be distant what an efficient tool to recoup, to control, and to create patches for MIDI engages the clutch. An interface of supreme user ¡ is consistent (GUI) can better offer to windows in the internal functionings of sintetizadores presenting one compreensão visual of the devices architecture and the flow of the signal.
I have strong feelings but conflicting on Emagics SoundDiver. Its powerful ficos publishers supreme ¡, caraterÃstica-loaded são hindered frequent for the complete amount of informaçã what contêm. The publishers entirely developed function to the side of adaptações the s times little-do that-utilitarian.
The aids of the window of the general sight alliviate the overload of informação, but its in £o executed consistently. However, software support a pântano of MIDI devices - what more than sick test ¡ vel distant never to possess - and some of caraterÃsticas of inspired SoundDivers são absolutely. What é more, the publishers supply the tools frequent you add that they supply to the original caraterÃsticas of the devices.
The focus of SoundDivers in an interface of user almost total supreme ¡ is supplies programação incredibly intuitiva. However the complete task to sail the windows can be fastidiosa and counterintuitive - giveth of relação; taketh of relação moved away.
In any way, SoundDiver é til a powerful tool and versà ¡, and I onward eye liberação them programs after that. Você in £o can want to wait for much time that one for verific for is. |
