No, nothing, I press return and it just gives me a new prompt

this is really awesome! psyched to try generating some :ocean: for the digitakt

#10

can’t open both .dmg files i get this info

01

I’m on OS X 10.11.6

on 10.13.6
same for hardcore

this looks very cool. can’t wait to give it a try. thanks for sharing!

edit: ok, really should read that README :slight_smile: though dropping into terminal window didn’t work here… but I did:

xattr -cr /Applications/Softcore.app
xattr -cr /Applications/Hardcore.app

hm, the sliders appear to control the levels of first 16 harmonic partials, exactly as @a773 suggests, and calling them “octaves” is definitely confusing (to me.)

[edit] well, yes. ‘harmonics’ is a better term than ‘octaves’, because the former is true, and the latter is… not true? :slight_smile:

anyways, good lookin apps, thanks for sharing! i like the waveshaping and bias functions. it would be fun to process the output with lowpasses for bandlimited multisampling.

Yeah, can definitely see that - harmonics is a better term I guess. Although, I think octaves are easy to understand for someone who doesn’t have in-depth knowledge. Virtually, it’s the same thing in this case.

(Maybe it’s best to explain it properly! Everyone is happy then, haha.)

Hmmm. Lets start on 440Hz!

Octaves are 440, 880, 1760, 3520, etc
Overtones/partials are 440, 880, 1320, 1760 etc

Call them what you want, that’s what I (and everybody I know) call it :slight_smile:

Hmm! Ah yeah, didn’t think of the uneven numbers. Good point :slight_smile:
So yes - they are harmonic partials in Softcore, fundamental * n:th harmonic.

Edit: Shot myself in the foot a bit by thinking of how to describe it in the easiest way, haha.

don’t want to harp any more on this, but octaves are only powers of two (as you know, sorry!)

you have the fundamental, four octaves (2, 4, 8, 16), and 11 non-octaves.

just call them “harmonics”, which is common and not even technical (it’s the same term in music theory as physics &c)

anyways… think i’m gonna finally make a multisampler for supercollider, thanks for the nudge

Yeah, I know - just my mind rested on the number 3 and made the connection. Thanks!

#19

try:
xattr -cr /Applications/Softcore.app
xattr -cr /Applications/Hardcore.app

these look awesome, excited to try soon!

this sounds awesome, excited to try [when possible]!

Windows Defender didn’t want me to run the installer because it’s not signed.

I can’t get the audio working at all on my machine at work. The menu gives me 10 options for drivers, none of which produce any audio when I click the speaker icon. There’s no choice anywhere for an output device though, other than the “Output 0” and “Output 1” assigned to left and right channels… whatever those are :slight_smile:

I’m using audio over Bluetooth since my work machine has no speakers.

I’m using DirectSound with MediaMonkey, MME with Audacity, and whatever it is that WaveEdit uses, and they all let me select between specific devices or a generic choice, e.g.

But then, Chrome doesn’t even have that choice and it just works by default (probably through the Windows sound mapper)

#22

OK embarrassingly I just didn’t read/think the instructions properly, when I drop the app paths into terminal after the "xattr -cr " it does work fine!!

#23

Hmm! It seems a lot of people don’t know that it will trigger the sound if you send a MIDI note or use the computer keyboard. Could that be the problem you’re having as well? The speaker icon simply enables or disables audio output.

i eventually figured out you can use the keyboard :slight_smile: is there any way to play lower octaves?

#25

That’s possible, I’ll have to try it again. It does work at home.

@ess how did you output the OLED to your TV?

#27

These are great, thanks, I got the waveforms working on the 1010 blackbox. Perfect!

#28

I used an internal tool that Elektron uses for taking screenshots for the manual, etc. :sweat_smile:

Oh, cool! I should add that as a preset device.
