Hi,

Im working on version 1.3 of the Oasys Companion software. I have added randomisation features to Karma and am doing the same for the AL 1 Analogue synthersizer in the O. If any registered users want to have a play please let me know and I will send a beta version out to you.

Also any suggestions on which randomisation parameters for Karma or the AL 1 people would like ,would be welcome. I have started to add my own ones already.

Cheers

Stuart

HI,

Work on version 1.3 of my Oasys Companion software is nearly complete - Beta testing underway. The new documentation for version 1.3 has been uploaded to my site. I have added AL1 (Analog Synth 1) , Karma GE and HD1 (High Definition Instrument) editing and randomisation features. This enables users to be able to very quickly generate new sounds by the press of a button. I will add similar for LAC and String expansion instruments shortly.

Take a look !

Cheers

Stuart

Hi,

Version 1.3 of the Oasys Companion software for the PC is now available. The new documentation is now on my website. Version 1.3 covers some major new areas of the Oasys. The aim is to enable very quick generation of new sounds - by the press of a single button!

It includes:-

An AL-1 analog synth editor and randomiser. This module enables the user to select a parameter group such as amplifier E.G. and randomise the parameters in the PCG file associated with that group. You can control the 'strength' of the randomisation. You can select LFO, amplifier E.G. Cut off Filter A & B, E.G. 1 to 4, Oscillator 1 & 2, sub Oscillator, Ring/Noise, FilterA and Filter B groups.

There is a seperate module for the String Model EXi. Similar to the AL-1 features. You can randomise parameters for modulation mixer/feedback, LFO, amplifier EG, EG 1 to 4, String Parameters, Noise and excitation mixers, Pluck and damping, Harmonics, PCM Samples, FilterA and Filter B plus Amplifier Modulation .

The High Definition HDi instrument programs are also covered and the user can randomide the Oasys rom samples. 2,000,000 combinations are possible all at the press of a button!

Take a look at the documentation. I will produce a PCG of AL-1 programs for free download on my website shortly. Would registered users please e-mail me for the updated program.

Cheers

Stuart

Hi,

Version 1.4 of the Oasys Companion software for the PC is nearly ready - Ive had a few busy days finishing it!

The new documentation is now on my website. Version 1.4 covers some further new areas of the Oasys. The aim is to enable very quick generation of new sounds - by the press of a single button!

V 1.4 includes:-

An LAC Legacy Analog Collection synth editor and randomiser. This module enables the user to select a parameter group such as Modulation Generator, LFO 1 & 2, E.G., Oscillators, HPF, LPF, Resonance & E.G. and randomise the parameters in the PCG file. You can control the 'strength' of the randomisation.

New to the editor is a facility to 'undo' edits you make!
