I think this for sure - hook into python or lua and you get all those libraries others have written

I'm going to try and script up something to generate numbers from a beta distribution and wondered if it was better to script something simple like that or use the built in modules and make it as a patch. it will be easier for me to make a script, but will the script be faster or slower than a patch...

quick update - the subpatch thing worked a treat - thanks again

thanks again nay-seven - I am struggling but see the potential and appreciate your quick help

returning to this - I am struggling to understand he design philosophy - for example what does "delete patch" mean. When I see something like that I think it will mean that if I have a patch selected in a rack and hit delete patch, I will remove that patch from the rack. But nothing happens, so what...

thanks nay-seven - works fine now I shall make a copy and pull it apart to see what the bits do

here is my attempt to copy your patch nay-seven. I get no sound when the ball is bouncing around, althoug I do get a sound when I play a key on the synths (so audio works). I have no doubt it is something silly I have done, but if yu could help that would be great. http://www.sensomusic.com/forums/u...

thanks - this will give me a great start to experimenting with patching. Much appreciated

hi - i have probably missed something already there, but I would like to output midi notes from the Hollyhock physics engine example, rather than trigger samples as is the case now. Is there a tute that covers something like that, or an older add-on that I could deconstruct to give me some tips than...

congratulations !

"out soon", for large values of 'soon'

happy days I like the hollyhock name - delphiniums are the go at our place at the moment though:)

2)Usine will be simplified The actual version of Usine inherit of several dark codes and old stuff in the engine and overall ergonomics. The development of the MacOS version is a good chance to change deeply the interface of Usine to be much more efficient and simpler. We'll let you know very soon ...

upgrade on its way

thanks - my first look at the scripting language was positive. Just to clarify - can I read in multiple midi and audio files, analyse them, then build new files as a result of that analysis.
At the moment I do that offline, but online is what i have in mind for the future

I bought usine pro a while back but have not really used it. Mostly my midi based work has been generated in Matlab, but looking at the scripting in Usine I wonder if I can replace Matlab and start building within Usine. For example this piece http://www.greg-hooper.com/sounds/unselected_2.mp3 takes...

reaplugs (VST) are free and have one called reaFIR which lets you denoise using a noiseprint
http://www.cockos.com/reaper/reaplugs/
doesn't help you make one, but it works pretty well. I think they just do simple spectral subtraction.

thanks to you too martignasse - more good tips

thankyou very much nay-seven. this is exactly the advice I was wanting

Hi i have usine for a year but have not used it yet as doing other things. Now I wish some advice on patches to study so I can learn to make a particular and simple patch. - I don't want someone to supply a patch, I want to learn myself, but would very much appreciate any help in where to look first...

I am no expert and have now seen that the call is setInitialDelay() - but my understanding is that the VST has to report the latency to the host, which means the VST must be written to give out that information correctly. setinitialDelay() is found within the VST code, so you can't see how it is use...

VST's should report their delay and the host can then adjust. You don't have to calculate it your self, there is a plugin callback (apparently) called getInitialDelay(). But I think that needs to be done at the host level rather than user level.

this is great news - congratulations and thankyou for your efforts. (I think you are already part of a new and better business model)

"Computer Music" by Dodge and Jerse has a good description and pseudo-code on the beta distribution on pages 351 and 352 Here is the c-code for all the distributions mentioned in Dodge and Jerse http://sig.sapp.org/src/sig/Distribution.cpp from Craig Sapp - there is alot of useful code there and els...

Hi, what random distributions(s) do you have available in Usine? I ask this because my favourite is the beta distribution as you can control it to give a very wide range of shapes to draw values from.

And thanks guys for your links. Open source is not still my sand box... I had a look to Jack for windows, well, I don't know what to do with it! And wormhole works on Mac. ha ha - me too with things like Jack. Also, Wormhole2 works on Windows as well as Mac - at least that is their claim on the fro...

I thought of soundflower but it is mac only - however on the max/msp board the following were mentioned as replacements. I have no personal expertise I'm afraid.

my first post is to congratulate you on this addition (and everything else:) )
