The Volume Layer

Actually, I am not very happy with the volume-control from the tenori-on. (R4)
I do not like the vertical style and I cannot do anything else on this page.
So I decided to make a kind of mixer-page on layer8.
Layer8 is one of the Random-Layers and I am not using all 4 of them anyway.
In the moment the 2 top rows are free for new ideas, but the other led´s work as kind of volume-slider. See here how you can set volumes:



The animation of the layer doen`t matter at all, so I put the animation-style to "simple" Size1, that it doesn`t bother me.

You find the new Volume Layer in the new update 0.96, which is availible on the left side of this blog. here is how it looks:

working with the version 0.952

Here you can see a video of working with the version 0.952.
Midi-Channel 1 is a synth-bass, controlled also by layer3 for the filter.
Layer 6 & 7 are playing the drums.
Layer 11 is for the sequenzer and Layer 15 is playing a pad.
Enjoy.

Version 0.952

After the concert on Sunday (which went well) I made a few adjustments and here is the release of version 0.952. (you find it on the left side of this blog)
Whats new?
The Midi-engine for channel1 is much more stable now, polyphony up to 16 voices - no more midi "hangs"...
If included a slider for the note-length now, I always had problems with handling some polyphonic tasks if i put the note length on the tenori-on to high - so the patch is now doing the job, and this works much better.
I am still not happy with the remote-mode. The status of the led`s is not always the status of the patterns or samples trigered in Live, and that makes it somehow quite confusing. If I want to find a solution I have to find out, if the led`s of the Tenori-On can be triggered by Midi-massages. If anybody has a hint for me it would be appreciated !

Version 0.95

I promised to be quick. Here we are: version 0.95 is ready.



Now I have 4 rows on layer5 for the remote-functions - this is triggering 64 samples or whatever and should be enough for the most things I do live.
Also I included the "dubdialer". The 5th row on layer5 on the tenori-on is now sending controller messages, and the value can be set on the dialer itself - great for dubs !

This version I will use on my concert on Sunday and then I decide how to get further on....

the dubdialer

Hey, thank you for your attention - I am now working on the tenori-on "dubdialer" in my application. I wanted to use some dial-function on the tenori-on, so I made a dial which stores the value and can be switches on and off - great for dubs - thats why I called it the dubdialer :-)




There will be a new version soon, because I need it on a concert on Sunday....

Version 0.94

After the concert I began working on a new version, which also enables me to use the tenori-on also as a remote control for Ableton Live.
Here is my version 0.94.





This is only work in progress, but you can control samples now in the gate-mode and there are some basic remote-functions.
The Layers are used as:

Layer1 = Midi-Notes on Midi-Channel1
Layer2 = Velocity for the notes on Midi-Channel1
Layer3 = controller on Midi-channel1 e.a. for Cutoff-Filter
Layer4 = controller on Midi-channel1 e.a. for Resonance
Layer5 = basic remote-functions

I noticed that the full polyphony is not working correctly, so in the moment Midi-Channel1 works only with up to 4 voices, but its only 0.94...:-)

Live

Yesterday was my first live-concert with the tenori-on.
I used the Fadervox for controlling Ableton Live and with the Tenori-On and my "tenori-on helper" I programmed a few sequences on the spot and played some solos in the solo-mode.
Everything went well and I am glad that I can adjust the synchronisation of the Midi-clock!
Here are some impressions of the setup:
