How and where to upload files

How:

---->> PC users should .zip their files, otherwise Macusers won't be able to
read them.
---->> Macusers should add the extension ".glo" to the bank, otherwise PC users
won't be able to read them.
If you have Stuffit Deluxe, please .zip the files. If not, stuff them and I'll
take care of the conversion.


Credits:

Please include your name or initials to every patch if you want people to know
that they are made by you. Additional textfiles are helpful as well, but might
not be included when the patches are sorted into cathegorized banks.


Size:

every single patch is welcome! So it doesn't care if you only want to submit one
patch or a huge bank.


Where:

patches/banks that meet a cathegory (e.g. if you have made 10 Pad patches)
should be uploaded to the 4_Cathegorised patches folder.

Thanks to all those who have submitted! Keep it up :-)

I'd like to alert the group that there has been an influx of new members in the
last few weeks- and I'd like to welcome them : )

There are some extremely helpful and talented folks on this list and we
encourage new members - particularly new Absynth owners, to initiate discussion
here as it relates to learning the software, making patches, technical issues,
etc...

Beginners Absynth Mac TIP:

Do you know you can 'Control-click' any parameter in the Performance pane and
select 'MIDI Learn' - as soon as you move a knob or slider on your controller
keyboard Absynth remembers the assignment... I showed this to an experienced
synthesist yesterday and he now controls multiple Absynth parameters with the
front panel knobs of his Access TI II ... very modular... Absynth is so deep
even experienced users miss stuff : )

It seems that in my Absynth 4 patches there were a number of controller

Three Absynth-related news items-

a) I've purchased and downloaded a new sound library from Analog-
Factory called 'Paranormal Experience' - it's really very good and not
a lot of money I suggest you check it out- I've added this link in the
links section to this:

http://www.analog-factory.com/?page_id=17

It's compatible with Absynth 5 and Kore 2...

b) If folks do not know this, Ask Video has a very good tutorial for
Absynth 5. I've added two links on our links page for this, one to Ask
Video's own page and one to IMS page (we offer digital download and
fulfillment here http://imsproav.com/main/ASKVIDABS5DD.html)

c) Absynth is running great in Maschine 1.6 beta- default Macro Knobs
are instantly assigned to the physical knobs, making the Maschine
control surface a really great control surface for tweaking Absynths
parameters.

Is the absynth 5 patch "tranquility" a factory patch?

If so, I have some problems.  The patch seems to go berserk from time to time,
like a sudden slam of volume.  I believe it is the aetherizer effect causing
this.

I used absynth5 on a track and you will hear it.  It is the pad like part
present at the beginning. at 2:37 you will hear what I'm talking about. (a
sudden volume spike)  How do I get rid of this?

http://soundcloud.com/elipsis1/communication-aura

thanks in advance, I really don't want to have to scrap the only instance of
absynth in this track because of a buggy patch.

Hi Scott;

The patch seems to work here. What version of Absynth do you have? Latest
available is 5.0.1.

There are some effect controls in the Perform view, maybe try adjusting those.
As I recall, in 5.0.0 there could be problems when aetherizer rate was high and
feedback was high, but that's fixed in 5.0.1.

It obviously should not be doing this, so I'd like to know what's happening.

Best,
Brian

Subject: tranquility patch

Hello Brian,

I believe the version I have installed is the latest from NI. I will verify
this.

Another thing on this: it seems to happen "once in a while", but obviously it is
even occurring on mixdowns.  Have you let it sit there and play a midi track for
a long period of time?  Just watch your speakers if you do, cause it is very bad
when it fails.  On my track I had to turn the volume way down.  It spikes hard
when it fails.

I am using ableton live 8.2.1 as my host on an intel i7 machine (quad core),
running windows 7 64-bit. 6GB RAM.

I will verify my version at home when I am at the house again.

I'd be curious if anyone else is having the issue with that patch.

Oh, also, I usually run at 24bit 48kHz ASIO.

Thanks for the reply.  I am trying to get back into using Absynth, haven't done
much with it in a while, so I'm "falling back in love" with it.

well, I checked the perform tab on my laptop for the tranquility patch, and the
"effect gran feedback" looks like it is cranked. It also uses a morphing
oscillator.

I just tested this with a new ableton set and and drew single notes 1 bar each,
and let it run.  sure enough, sonic explosion! (hehe, is this supposed to be in
the patch? like "just when you think your tranquil": BOOM!) LOL

Anyway, I have lowered the "effect gran feedback" on the performance page from
near max to around 50%. and yep, the error is still there. DARN. It can take as
long as 5 minutes or more for it to occur.

Is this an older patch that was brought along from earlier versions?

Thanks again for the quick response Brian.

another thing I notice is that when you disable the aetherizer, the output of
that patch is really high.

Could it be clipping at the effect stage input?

Hmm, well I lowered the volume significantly, so I don't think it is clipping
causing this.

Here is a good test,

setup a simple track, have it render a single note with the tranquility patch
for the length of an hour or so, save it as wave,  look at the resulting file
for the spikes.

anyone else having this problem with it?

it is a beautiful patch, I just can't use it with the aetherizer turned on.

Hi Scott,

The patch has been playing for about 30min so far, I'll leave it going for at
least an hour. So far no spikes.

Please check the version number of Absynth, just click on the NI logo. If it's
less than 5.0.1 then you need to update.

If it is 5.0.1, then maybe turn up the Highpass in the effect window a bit, like
50Hz or so (depends on the musical context of course). However this really does
sound like a problem with 5.0.0...

Best,
Brian

Brian:

5.0.1 (R865) is my version number

http://soundcloud.com/elipsis1/tranquility-patch-test

the above file consists of two instances where this volume issue occurs.

This was exported straight from ableton live, no effects or anything.  Just a c3
note held for 3 minutes.  I re-imported the wav. During 3 minutes it was clear
in the peaks where these occured.  I have edited it down to pretty much the two
failures.

now: without the aetherizer, I do not observe this issue (although the patch
needs to be turned down a lot so it won't clip)

And to put to rest the "host question" here is another example I captured using
the record function in standalone mode straight from absynth:

http://soundcloud.com/elipsis1/tranquility_standalone


Thanks for all your help on this.

I just want to figure this out, but my guess is that it is the aetherizer.

Scott

Tried the high pass at 147hz.  Problem still occurs.

Oh well, I guess I'm the only person who seems to have this problem.

I am running windows 7, 64-bit on a Dell XPS 8100 with a presonus audiobox USB. 
However, the same thing happens on another system, so I don't think it is system
based.

Thanks Brian, I'll quit posting until I hear from someone else, or I figure out
a way to fix it myself.  Most likely I guess I'll have to turn off the
Aetherizer and use another effect.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the detailed info! I recorded in standalone for a few minutes, there
are some peaks which look similar to yours but they don't come close to
clipping. It's kind of strange, I wonder if our patches are a little different
in some way. It's possible the patch was updated, but you have the most recent
update, so we should have the same patch...

The aetherizer is very random, so there will be some random amplitude
fluctuations. But I'm not getting peaks like yours.  I would think some
compression in the host would get it under control. You might want to bring
Absynth's gain down a bit (in the perform view).

I am using a mac, I'll try on a PC tomorrow, but I don't think that explains it.

If you don't mind, I'd like to see the exact patch you're using, if you want you
can email it to me directly.

Cheers,
Brian

Brian,

I tried that export test on 24bit 44kHz and it is a lot better.

Try to see if you get the errors at 24bit 48kHz!

Wow, could I have found it?

Try out the patch at 24bit / 48kHz.  See if that causes some speaker damage
hehe.

I just rendered my track at 24bit / 44kHz and it seems to be error free.

I guess the real question now is, why does 24bit / 48kHz freak out the
aetherizer?

I'll let you know if I have any further issues with this lovely patch.

Thanks for all the help, and for listening to a single patch for 30 minutes for
a humble user.

there are some peaks which look similar to yours but they don't come close to
clipping. It's kind of strange, I wonder if our patches are a little different
in some way. It's possible the patch was updated, but you have the most recent
update, so we should have the same patch...

Just a c3 note held for 3 minutes.  I re-imported the wav. During 3 minutes it
was clear in the peaks where these occured.  I have edited it down to pretty
much the two failures.

Hi Scott,

Well, I'm glad you found a solution! I'm listening to it now at 48k and it still
isn't clipping, so I don't know why SR makes a difference on your system. Thanks
for bringing this to my attention, I'll investigate further.

Cheers,
Brian

This will be the third time I've tried to post this. Not sure where they go.


running at 96K

I just got this to occur in about 20 seconds. Just hold down one note. 5.01

The first time I got a hard clip and it went right away.  The second time it
took about 40 seconds and it got that big vibrato pulse and when I let go of the
key it went silent then maybe a couple seconds later the big pulse again. As I
have typed this it continues to happen, just pulsed again maybe a minute later.
Just happened again maybe a couple minutes. Bear in mind nothing is playing,
just a track armed and transport paused. Just did it again took several minutes
this time.

Just to be clear I only pressed a key twice and each time it was released when
the defect occurred. Actually I used the Virtual-Keyboard and mouse.

You were on moderation... everyone who joins this group is on
moderation till their first one or two Absynth-related posts... and
these three posts count so you're off moderation now ; )

This policy has kept the list virtually spam free and useful for the
4800+ users here : )

If new members want to be taken off moderation right away they can
post some Absynth-related biographical information on themselves, gear-
lists, specific techniques they use Absynth for etc... when they get
approved... it might take me a day or so, but those kinds of posts
will get you off moderation pretty quick... we just want to make sure
there is only intelligent life here, we don't expect all Absynth users
to be from the planet Earth necessarily, we are pretty sure there are
some aliens among us on this group...

I've never felt the need to moderate anyone for content here, as
usual- complaints about the list, list policies or thread content can
be addressed to me *off list* keeping the list and the archives 100%
on topic... I've rarely received complaints here which tells me that
these policies are functional at a high level of functionality : )

we do have a lot of lurkers here who have never posted- they are
pretty much all on moderation, I'm hoping that the list has been
useful to them... we welcome all speakers of the alien language of
Absynth...

Ah, ok well sorry about the triple post. I tried email, then I tired the
web site, then I noticed Yahoo had changed and my account had some
things out of whack so I tried once more.

I know the feeling though, I am admin on JustinGuitar.Com which is one
of the big guitar lesson sites. Also been a member of 01V96 group for
ages and every so often our posts will take a day to show up. So glad it
made it eventually.

I am totally new to Absynth and basically don't know anything. I know a
little about synths in genreal. oscillators, filters, adsr but complex
patches I can not follow too easily. I looked for something in that
patch that would suggest a really long lfo time period but could not
find it. That would have been my wild guess.

Not sure how anyone figured out sample rate. That's the last thing I
would have thought of.

Tom, does it still clip if you switch to 44kHz?

That solves the clipping for me.
