I think djay has amazing FX but that they’re confusing to use. It would help me a lot if effects would be differentiated into at least two distinct categories:
beat-based
Examples: Echo, Gate
Functionality: specify the beat length (ie 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2) (there is a similar suggestion here: 3/16 echo time please! - #6 by djjoejoe)
analog
Examples: Noise Sweep, lowpass, highpass
Functionality: specify the intensity from 0 to 100%
Hardware: allow mapping to filter button (this part has already been specified here: Selectable alternate effects for Filter control)
Confusingly, some effects are mixtures between the two, for example Noise Gate. I don’t have a direct solution for those but feel like they should give you a checkbox that controls whether increasing intensity also changes the beat length.
Hi all, I was wondering if instead of an anonymous slider for the parameter of the FXs (that it controls the timing), we could have a stepping slider divided on time signatures?
I ran too often in off sync FX, and its sounds awful, because the parameter was set not on a precise timing…
So the parameter slider can be stepped by the same increment of the loop section (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 beats)
Oh and BTW, the DVS support it’s still needed
Hi, thanks for forwarding our requests to your staff!
We are talking about the capability of sync the “Parameter” of the Fx slider with the BPM of the song and dividing (or multiplying) it.
For example: i want the echo out on WET:100 and (instead of a percentage on the parameter like 25%) the parameter is 1/4 of the BPM of the song, so the repetitions are in sync.
For syncing the starting of the fx can be a challenge (like a flanger fx) but i think the starting point can be “snapped” to the time division selected on the parameter. @NathanielAlgo if i cant explaine me right we can get in touch and make a call so i can show you what i mean
Hi Nathaniel, Great that this latest update implemented this,
However the Parameter knob on the Rane One and the Mixon 4 (and probably other controllers) doesn’t allow for the multiple selections to be made,
If I turn the knob to the left, it selects 1/16 beat and turning it to the right jumps straight to 1 beat, it doesn’t allow me to select the other beat ranges, I can select them on the iPad but this isn’t really ideal…
We are aware of the bugs you mentioned in your previous threads (linked below) and and we will keep you updated on those threads with any new information.
