"New" Project5 Control Surface

Techead,

I have that and I forgot all about this as well. I have to find the CD I burnt it to and install it and play around with it .

Thanks for bringing it back to rememberance.

Peace,

i liked it when i was playing with it

when i was running out of hard drive space, I deleted a lot of things that I didn't put back on when I got the external hard drive and moved my samples over.

as I recall there were only a few really useful sounding fx in the package
they generally sounded kinda cheezy/cheap/thin, but it was great for ultra smoth panning

I'll have to dig this out again.

on a real hardware control surface

,,, oh ,,, i dream,,, of the day ,, when cakewalk ,,, has a full featured,,, mapped ,,external controller ,,midi/audio,,, interface ,,,, for p5,,,,all parameters,, ,everything ,, ,, synths,, effects,,, etc....etc.... i enjoy ,, my sp-606 ,, with the p-606 software,, it;s basic,,, but extremely useful,, and fun,,,

I thought it was (more or less) replaced by SpectraFX?

By Jove, I believe that Ray is right! Smooth automation curves; there for the asking. And right under our collective noses. I, for one, am ashamed of myself for not finding this earlier. Thanks, Uncle Ray and Uncle Baaaaaaahb!

maybe even a little guilty for laughing at b rock in that other thread

Perish the thought, Bob. I dish it out; I can take it. Especially over what seems like such an obvious feature in hindsight. Now this Spectra FX plugin; this just proves that we've got more stuff than we know what to do with.

I seem to remember this plugin's quirks coming up once before; either in the Dark Days of 1.01 in this forum, or perhaps quite a while back in Sonar. The applications for automation curves are astounding. Cut & paste just the leading edges for synced filter sweeps. Offset curves reassigned to levels for perfect auto-panning/crossfading. Grabbing the locus or the sliders and going crazy, for some equally wild curve shapes (use a Wacom pen for that). Customizing the X and Y relationship by careful placement of those Bezier nodes. Way cool.

The weird thing is that the 'widgets' come in "pre-assigned". Just load the FX, hit play, and watch 'em go. It's also funny that the two parameters can't be overridden by MIDI Remote Control. And pattern recording? I guess that it makes sense that the parameter transmission of an FX unit comes after the synth outputs are split to pattern recording. Can't seem to get the Arrange Pane curves to pay attention to the Snap to Grid setting, either.

Maybe I'm just missing something else; it's been known to happen before. <g> But thanks for this [Bob & Ray]: Between the Spectra FX re-discovery and the LiveSet CC message LFO, I'm well on my way to exactly what I'd been looking for. I was almost to the point of picking up the soldering iron and sponge myself. That is: picking up the soldering iron, and picking up the sponge ... myself.
