using variables

[mike]

Thanks for this great plugin!

 I am trying to make a velocity curve adjuster for vsti instruments with both a s-shaped response curve and a key following tweaker.  I managed to make them individually but want to combine them into a single mapping, but preserve the graphical representation of the main curve.  To this end I am using the variable A as a (key following)  percent adjuster, B as the velocity adjusted by the curve, and the a final send (C for debugging) going out as A*B.

The problem is that when I press a key, for example, A=1,B=0.7,C=0 then only on release C=0.7.  This means that all my notes are vel=0 and disappear, but the
intermediate values in A & B look correct.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.

This is hard to explain clearly, so I attach the file.

Hey Mike,

Glad to see your getting some use out of it. Yeah this is sort of a bug. I'll look into fixing it tonight. Are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of MSS?

I like the S-shaped curve you created! Mind if I include it as a transformation preset? I was never really happy with the cubic presets I included.

Thanks,
Rob

It's great: lounge lizard + reaper + decent keyboard tweaked to perfection :)

 I'm using 32-bit.

Of course I don't mind : it's not like I'm clever enough to have dreamed it up myself!  It's a mu-law expander and compressor tacked together at the pivot point.

Good find on mathworks! Could you try replacing MidiShapeShifter.net.vstdll in your vst folder with the attached file and let me know if it fixes the problem.

Excellent! Looks like a fix to me!

Many thanks for the quick turnaround,

Best,

Mike

Glad to hear it fixed the issue. I just had a hard drive failure last night and lost the license for the software I use to package up MSS and release it so it may be a while before this fix makes it onto the download page :(

anyway let me know if you have any other questions.
