Product outline:
Characteristic:
From reviews Emagics SoundDiver 1.5 in July 1995 the question, this program has accepted several renewals. Many new characteristics including put on make-up in naming overhaul, the change in principle, the error repair and the new edition to hit street's equipment in edition 1.5 later. Moreover, several essence's changes deserve minutely examine strictly, including program wonderfully enlargement mode graph, characteristic support for key order and consistency in Mac and between Windows platform. SoundDiver ships in identical CD-ROM with Mac and the Windows edition. From release edition 3.0, two platform share same characteristic (except Mac and between Windows menu difference congress harmoniously connection support).
I OS which 8500 runs in mine strength Mac 8 has installed SoundDiver, does not use the hitch. This program no longer supports 68000 rubber waterproof cloths, but all PowerPC will do. Copy protection plan including temporary authorization from CD-ROM. After the hard disk is authorized, program request primitive CD every several other weeks. One week, before authorized due, SoundDiver gives a warning, therefore you by will not seize surprisedly. Strikes the transceiver and collapses compared to the loss facility from the hard disk, but it facilitates not specially.
WHERES my gear?
When first launches, SoundDiver scans the port reorganization to connect densely gear's connection and the patch bay densely rapid then opens installs the window (to see also Figure 1). The window is some synthesizers, the thief, the drum unit, affects the processor and other equipment provides the edition name list. Left side of the name list is three buttons for the installment edition: Scans all buttons to vote you in the name list densely the system (and needs a while) for each equipment; Scans the button to inspect the choice only the equipment. I recommend use the latter. If possesses your equipment arent to recognize, increases the button to let your manual choice and the hypothesis equipment.
I have first attempted scan all choices. After my connection long appraisal, the hypothesis window opens revealed that my some system equipment (see also Figure 2) only. That not necessarily is the program shortcoming. For example, my Casio the VZ-10s primitive implementation needs the manual facility and the dump from this kneading board. My Kawai the K5m default is the SysEx disability, whenever it electrifies.
SoundDiver increased the support for opening music system (OMS), the permission user has exchanged freely between the program fixedly densely system and OMS. I created the new facility to use OMS to take densely the driver; Must guarantee that an accurate hypothesis, I give up this program in the system folder, and destroyed my SoundDiver preference. When I started this program again, SoundDiver has initialized, and preparation hypothesis. In mine system new scan, after the hypothesis window has demonstrated many equipment, the replica. I continued after the facility, and, deleted the replica. When the equipment is scanned densely, and occupies time, they appear in the SoundDivers hypothesis window, and the dialog box asked popularly whether you do want the request memory from yours equipment. At that time, you could retrieve the data in the library which deposits in yours equipment for the edition or the safekeeping of security.
You are good, information
The equipment appears densely in the hypothesis window takes the reality three dimensional elephant, is connected together with a genuine patch bay line to a genuine computer. The click was opening the equipment window (before name to remember likely manager). The equipment window demonstrated that your synthesizer memory architecture (see also Figure 3). I have double-clicked likely in mine Korg Wavestation A/Ds and greet with have contained synths the Byzantine memory architecture the layout window, including patch, wave sequence, performance, multiple condition hypotheses, global parameter and even user scale. That may be a double-edged sword.
With possesses that information to propose immediately that seeks for your path (is specially in looks like Wavestation as equipment complex) to be possible to be difficult. , SoundDiver provides several ways to concentrate luckily in any you needs. The button hides or opens the equipment memory structure again possibly in equipment window's above all levels, for example program, combination and global establishment. In addition, you can demonstrate or hide each bank which retrieves from the equipment, lets you isolate a memory is the edition. You can be the equipment content broad either the narrow outline also rapid mobile equipment window or.
The library window lets you deposit anything, from equipment patch to you densely system memory content. Because the library holds all possibly which needs to deposit about you, assignment its important exactly record correlation data and SoundDiver handle. For example, clicks in Korg the M1 program in the librarian window revealed the use program combines name list. Similarly, clicks in all combinations provides including the high level sound program's name list. The deletion program opens the dialog box to warn that your youre removes a high level memory structure the component, vice versa thus prevents the brass part which you carve carefully to combine a Mars' banjo orchestra or sounds.
Editorial assistance
The double click (e.g. patch or performance) opens the edition window in the equipment memory constituent. Usually provides the patch layer, the speed switch, the fission upper formation combination, and so on has the handy edition button link to the first floor patch component. In that way, you tolerate move the shuttle between the performance and its component, makes the edition like need. If as if looks like many too, for a monitor can process you believed that youre right. However, you can the weight size window concentrate in any you need, and the preserved window establishment takes Screensets. You can then press the pingpong key again between the screen and the key order.
SoundDiver in gorgeous, the color arranges the detail to demonstrate your patchs architecture. You can change the mold envelope background, the parameter, the parameter label, the value field and even handle's skin color.
Sometimes, the Emagics programmer expanded the characteristic outside the equipment native ability. For example, except outside the model program parameter in Kawai the K5000 additive synthesizer series, the SoundDivers patch edition provides the three dimensional time and the altitude signal profile demonstrated that the classification which, under frame formal pattern synthesizer waveform pulls the menu and which is established in advance the formant filter establishes. Moreover, you can load the digital audio frequency document to analyze with resynthesis can provide the work the unfinished oscillator waveform. The result has provided an interesting timbral springboard's good numeral for the programming. Although that characteristic 1.5 had not been introduced in the edition, instrument (and, thus, its edition), in the review later arrived in the scene in EM. In addition, the import function has not operated reliably until the edition 3.0.
In surface
SoundDiver supports various densely control surfaces now, (is the SAC-2K review see also p including Radikal technical SAC-2K. 146). I have not had the special-purpose control surface, but I install a false unit in mine hypothesis window to inspect Emagics newly to tow put the programming the characteristic. As usual, double-clicks in SAC-2K opens the edition window likely; However, in the equipment memory content's abstract position, you obtain the control surface expansion field of vision. Must assign controls the synthesizer parameter, opens the control duty window, clicks on genuine pouch 2Ks volume controller or the button, and drags a genuine patch to a synth edition parameter in another window. The intuition user interface lets me for the programmed control surface program false SAC-2K with possible to choose Gao Huodi in mine K5000W synth the overtone the lump (to see also Figure 4). My then assignment volume controller changes the choice group's gain standard overtone. The entire process needed to be short in ten seconds.
SoundDiver lets you establish the keyboard to edit other synths densely as the control surface. You can map actual all follow on somebody's heels the news to control an editor parameter densely, therefore, even if your main keyboard provides only a standard set of modulation and the asphalt curved wheel, you can enter the service achievement according to them to edit the tool rapidly. I have opened my Oberheim the matrix 6R patch, has highlighted the FM amount parameter and hit order + L. When I have edited, I then adjust my matrix 6R possibly from mine Korg M1 and the use. When you make your change - you to be able to test to the programming one unusual music method for the performance ability edition.
Another intelligent edition characteristic is the outline window. It provides a generalized view equipment parameter and the signal flow, lets you make the coarse adjustment (to see also Figure 5) to this patch. In the adjustment parameter opens one to be rich in the characteristic the edition to be possible to see with this choice parameter outside screen's center gadget to click only. You can press the pingpong key again in the detail and between the outline from the domain in edition window above. That is the great material, because it lets you located at and concentrates the element which needs to work in you, although latent confuses parameter.
Unfortunately, the outline has not amounted to the edition all along to implement. The K5000W edition module compared to provides more parameters in a screen to suit possibly possibly, it does not have the outline. The grateful place, the edition is Wavestation A/D. This solution is creates the multiple edition window is an equipment with demonstrates a different parameter area each window. You can then the weight size window and the switch between them. Does in a window editor with other window connection, but that method as if looks like one disorderly and the quite clumsy way concentrates in any you needs.
You can also grab the edition window the base left corner (before scroll arrow) and drags directly to any group parameter. That is a handy navigation tool, but I will welcome under a sensitive content to pull the menu most to jump to a concrete group parameter (e.g. filter part). When drives a complex equipment, drags, until you discovered when your area of interest is not this kind of most elegant explanation.
The adaptation or dies
The adaptation is the user establishment edition, and the adaptation edition does not let you create the outline, therefore adapts does not have the outline window. Then brings me for mine under big discontent: The SoundDivers 346 editors, 65 are the modules, and 295 is the adaptation. Perhaps it as if trivial the equipment which supports in front of such many about compares the Emagic creation to the carp with the user establishment edition. However, the adaptation and the module are different in many aspects, and sometimes their characteristic set is smallest. For example, the K5R adaptation provides has not edited; It provides only the librarian ability. The module is the entire appearance characteristic edition usually. SoundDiver is great including the facility for creation edition's it; Because of terminal user, however, I will rather spend my time and music and the sound design compare and the SysEx value table.
This guide is quite good and deals with the characteristic very enormous quantity. Moreover, CD-ROM contains the PDF document and the bibliography support equipment and editor's possible parameter. You also obtain a procedure guide for the creation adaptation and to the compilation help file application. The software provides the widespread context-sensitive help, although this program in chose among the topic to give up frequently unexpectedly.
Getting down diver
The edition librarian program compared to is the retrieval, processing and a creation patch high efficiency tool to adapt densely may be more. Consistent graphical user interface (GUI) provides the window to enter the synthesizer intrinsic work possibly through to propose to the equipment architecture and the signal flow better visual understanding.
I have, but contradictory feeling about Emagics SoundDiver. They contain it is powerful, the characteristic stowage diagram edition hinders frequently by the pure information content. Sometimes the full development's edition along runs compared to utilitarianism's adaptation.
The outline window help relaxes the information overload, but it does not have all along is implemented. However, software support bog equipment - more compared to ill has possibly densely -, and some SoundDivers characteristic is inspired absolutely. Anything is more, the edition provides caters to the equipment unique characteristic frequently other tool.
The SoundDivers focal point provides unbelievable the intuition programming in a nearly complete graphical user interface. The driving window pure duty may tedious and counter-direct-viewing - connection giveth; Connection taketh.
No matter what kind, SoundDiver is one powerful and the versatile tools, and my next hope program distributes. You may not want to wait for a long time that inspects it. |
