n.Slice a neat slicer

Really awesome GUI!

If you want to I could have a look at the schematic to see if there's anything I could do about its CPU usage.

hey man, check out my site. I have a ton of free loops and sample packs online for free 🙂 Use what you'd like for whatever. Or if you need something custom, I'll create it if you'd like.

EDIT: that GUI is really cool! 🙂

oh yeah, thanks, that would be nice, but i wanted to release it semi commersial, so free for non Commercial use only (20€-80€, for money makers), so you can make lots of great free music with it 😉 . so if you don't mind helping me with a "commecial" product, thanks (i will thank it to you in an adequate manner). as i stated on KVR , maybe it wil be 100% free at the end. who knows. copy protection would be a nag screen, and naging people with my first plug in could be .. no no, but i like what it is so far, for a freebe it would be a must have for me.(i only use freebees! except energy xt, and since i bought a license of SM i stoped thinking about buying this and that. and also , i do hip hop kind of stuff , who need high tech for that anyways?)

i would give you a DL link for the sheme via PM if you still interested.

AFAIK if i connect a text compt to the poly to mono plug in , i can see the assambler representation of my stream part, right? it is not too long without envelopes, but with, baaam! a huge list. also switching at stream time (for multi outs for example). but hey, i thought of controling this kind of stuff befor sound begins via green data and selector, meybe it'll work.

i use one stream path for all parts/samples so i can not switch of parts of the stream sheme for specific parts only (AFAIK)

also i already asked about a simplified version of shifs & sams (&others if forgot) multistage envelope. i only use 5 fixed stages, but the stream part is still the same as in the multi env one. if you know of a way to improve this and tell me , i would be very thankful.

peace

P.S.: ill post a feature list of n.Slice later today, now i go out n skate as the sun comes out 🙂

We don't have any issues with giving support to commercial devs, that'd just be odd 🙂

I'll have a looksie when I get a chance to if you want.

Cheers!

Heheh, you can also take some from my site, there are about 1500 loops there. You have my permission to use and redistribute 25 of them or so.

here is what n.Slice can do for you, and will be able in the near future:

features: -16 voice 128 part slicer and general sampler (one part for each key of your midi keyboard). -multimode filter ( LP, HP, BP, Notch, Peak). -2 x 5-step curvy envelopes ( volume & filter frequency). -pitch, volume and paning for each part and global offsets. -start and end point selection. -oneshot and gate mode. -semi advanced sample browsing abilitys. -4 x stereo output

known issues limitations: -envelopes do not reset properly after choking through voice limit, sounds cool , but not as expected. -clicks on voice choking, aka same note retriggering. -loading of max 128 wave files. -max voice cound fixed to 16. -cpu usage is too high imho. but seems optimizable.

coming next: -hopefully reduction of cpu amount, maybe through selectable interpolation quality turning on of feature, etc. (sadly the present architecture does not allow to cpu effectively deacitvate featurers per part, only globally 🙁 ). -ability to play sounds backwards (*slaps on head*, how could i have forgotten this?). -separate gate mode for filter and volume envelopes. -copy and paste of parameter and whole parts. -adjustable voice limit. -mono switch ( so outs expand to 8 mono outs). -(filter!) parameter change smoothing. -on of switch of parts, all parts will be initially of (silent) until you move a control or turn it on. -better wav file manager (indicates wether files are in use in other parts, make multi used wavs indipendent,less restrictive file count limit and more) -if you like the idea (i liked it quit a lot, was fun to play with), I integrate a little mod wheel scratcher (as it was in early versions) into n.Slice, but i guess a seperate plugin would be better, but you can decide! integration would mean more mem usage, GUI space and startup loading time, CPU would barely be touched. -drawable velocity curve(global or local?) -slightly bigger gui. (i like it small! but i can make different sized version if you like. you can also give me GUIs to slap on n.Slice)

please make suggestion if you got some!

cheers

P.S.: did i say i go skate? i didn't i went out to f%ck up my left foot. AAaaooouuuuuuuch!! 😮 😠 😕 😇

Looks nice. I am working on something simular.

phhuuu!! i thougth n.Slice was dead , but then i discovered that it runs perfect in 44100 hz. i usualy run 48000, but there seem s to be an issue with SM or my machine. i mean, i now there is a performance difference, but my SM creations get unstabel(they don't crash, but the CPU meter sometimes jump) as soon as i run them as a vst (44800) . but now, since i run it at 44000. perfect! and cpu consumption is not that high as i thought. the glitches i had where not cpu consumption related i guess. seems like a bug to me.

n.Slice 0.5 will go out tonight i guess 😀 also 44000 only here. maybe it works for you at other rates? i had similar problems with stefans anna, glitches an all that. ill give her another try now i guess.

cheers!

edit: or was i just dreaming? glitch hell again! ahhh!
