Hi !

I want to present you my new SM-Plugin:

Name: Loop-drive Version: 9 Vendor: me 🙂

As you can see in the topic, it is a loop-player, which can slice a loop into parts, and you can re-order the slices. I also added some basic FX, LFO and an envelope generator. With the envelope generator you can set attack and decay time for all slices. The FX unit is a type of modular, you can choose the order in which the FX are attached.

For this VST I took some examples from this forum, eg. the Wave-player, but I don't remember all of them, and so if someone finds his parts in it, please write here, so I can add the names to a credit list.

You can download the DLL here: http://www.music-drive.com/loop-drive.zip

And the OSM is in the Early Adopters board.

I guess there are a lot of bugs in it, so I need some help to find and clear them. Especially with the problem "saving the filename as VST parameter" I need some help.

To the "license" of this: Your are allowed to use the graphics from the buttons and knobs. But please don't use my backround image, because that's the backround I want to use for all of my stuff 🙂 You can use parts of my schematics in commercial plugins, but please give me a credit. It is not allowed to sell the whole plugin as it is.

Thanks!

Looks very interesting! I'd made something a lot simpler a while ago, which loaded a .wav and then assigned 'slices' of this to different midi keys - but this is looking way cool 🙂

Nice work 🙂

🙂 Not having a lot of time left, i surely will give this a try - it looks very well build.

Thank you, to make the schematic available.

Wow

well, at the moment the slice grid isn't stored in presets, also it seemes that the selectors aren't stored. May be that I can handle that. But the problem with the filename is a bigger thing...

I've got a new version now, which I've done last night 😀 Here it is: http://music-drive.com/Loop-Drive10.exe

Well, it is an executable program now, but that's not all. It also has a basic synthesizer now, and the main area is scrollable.

Very nice plug, MyCo. Through trial and error, I figured out that a midi note 36 starts the plug running, while a CC64 stops it.

Any other control secrets we ought to know?

That's not a secret... it is a bug 🙂 But that's not important, because midi notes are not important for the plug. In fact you only need one for start and stop

Hi I'm new to this forum. I DL-ed the Loopdrive from kvr and was playing with it but it won't load any wavs . Maybe it only loads a certain kind of wav or maybe I'm not doing it right. Any advice from the creator would be appreciated.

MyCo ·

KVR? I never uploaded it to KVR, and it is not supposed to be public.

Moe Shinola ·

Oops. Sorry. Somebody put a link to it on a forum there. I surely would'nt have clicked on it if I'd known. Innocent mistake on their part maybe?

Moe Shinola ·

Anyway, it won't load .wavs. I tried a regular .wav and an acidized "grooveclip". One was a bass loop and the other a synth loop. The included drum loop just stays right where it is and is'nt replaced by the one I clicked on. So am I doing something wrong?

MyCo ·

if you use the first version, there was a problem in the wave reader module

hello im new user at synthmaker and also here in forum...

the sample player looks very great, and i wanna look on schematic, but i can access the forum (im not granulate user) how i can become this state?

thx a lot

Tom7777 ·

(im not granulate user) how i can become this state?

I think what you mean is your not a Early Adopter, to become one you need to purchase the program first then you will be able to use the Early Adopters area of the forum and download. 🙂

Thanks for becoming an early adopter. We just needed to know your username in the forum so we could add you to the early adopters usergroup. You should now have access to the private forum.

Welcome here Electrixx!! Have a good time! 😉

thx a lot!

i'm having the same problem 🙁 how do i verify my account for the members area after purchasing it?

malc ·

Hi groundzero,

Unfortunately I can't find anything in your profile to tie you to a particular purchase. I'm sure everything is in order but if you wouldn't mind replying to the confirmation email then I can set you up straight away.

If you didn't get a confirmation email or you paid by bank transfer then let me know via email (you can find my email address in my profile).

Many thanks.

How do I make Loop-Drive save my wav file? It just loads the default every time. 🙁
