started running parc on my grid 128 sending midi notes to Aalto, ended editing in Aalto only, making weird sounds

enjoyed! thanks for sharing.

Have had good times making patches in Aalto or Kavio and then attempting to rebuild them in Csound (with varying degrees of success!). I’ve learned a lot from these soft synths actually.

Very nice to see what the grid is doing as well here. Also, maybe B/W for the next plugin?

nuun · 2016-11-07T21:53:11.376Z

No b/w! i really like the colors of the UI!! It looked nicer for the video tho

randy · 2016-11-07T22:04:41.537Z

No worries, I’m only funnin’.

I wonder has anyone here run any of the ML synths on a Microsoft Surface Pro? It looks like an ideal environment, if it it works properly…

randy · 2016-11-08T17:27:31.444Z

I haven’t tried here but I’d sure love to hear about it!

and, aalto is quite something!

I just got aalto a few weeks ago and have done just that! it woks really well actually. especially if you use “absolutemousemode”. the knobs are actually quite responsive. next, i’m hoping to find a cool m4l patch that will allow me to send midi notes to alto from the grid. Anyone have suggestions? how i would love a m4l version of earthsea.

to further emphasize, aalto is absolutely stunning. it sounds amazing and is incredibly fun to use. bought it as soon as i discovered all synth sounds from this came from it.

Randy makes awesome things. Buy all of them. If I had infinite resources, I’d buy a soundplane in a heartbeat.

Hot stuff!

Looks great. Excited for Sumu!

Vessel · 2018-10-06T11:24:42.767Z

been using your instruments for years now, randy. i regularly find myself in strange and exciting places with them all. many thanks, and welcome!

edit: new site / / Sumu looking amazing / enticing!

so I’ve had these pieces from an old soundplane (I’ve sold it since)
I had to replace them with new pieces form Randy
I’m not sure if they might be helpful to anyone for anything
I’d be happy to mail them out to whoever might find a use for them
there are 4 and each has 16 columns

glia:

i’ve only owned three plugins and two are by ML…but deep down? i wish they were standalone

Standalone would be awesome for these, agreed.

randy · 2019-05-06T18:01:16.051Z

I can’t think of anything these parts would be good for. They were spectacularly failure-prone.

wednesdayayay · 2019-05-06T18:03:49.541Z

well there it is from the man himself
now they are limited collectors edition hahahaha

is a soundplane model B still in the works?

playing with the continuumini made me realize how much I miss that instrument

randy · 2019-05-06T18:20:06.922Z

Yes, a new Soundplane is definitely a thing that is happening. The CV module too.

Right now I’m still working on software full time. I’ve been writing a whole new framework to support the existing instruments and the things I have planned for Sumu—I’ll share some of the results of that work very soon.
