Call for testers and opionions on upcoming v1.5.0 of PackOne!
I have been working on a few new modules and I hope some of you will test them and give me some feedback
-
MIDI-STEP is intended for relative MIDI protocols of endless knobs found on Beatstep Pro or Native Instruments controllers. It outputs triggers on INC or DEC on knob-twisting.
- I don’t own a Beatstep Pro so I couldn’t test anything myself but is seems to work quite smoothly in relative mode 1.
-
PILE is an utility module which translates increment or decrement triggers in absolute voltages. It supports slewing the output voltage. RESET allows you to reset to a specific voltage which is used as starting point for increments and decrements.
-
SAIL is one of these crazy modules that stoermelder’s PackOne is known for: It allows you to control parameters by hovering above them with your mouse pointer. Just imagine following: Add MIDI-CC and patch it to IN of SAIL. Then you can control any knob in Rack with one of your MIDI controller’s knobs as long as your mouse pointer hovers above it
- Voltage range for IN-port is 0-10V
- Differential mode adds delta-movement to the parameter’s current position on voltage change on IN
- Absolute mode sets the parameter to the absolute position as soon the voltage changes on IN
- INC and DEC allows incrementing and decrementing the current position, especially useful with MIDI-GATE and its keyboard driver (increment or decrement with keyboard events) or my new MIDI-STEP module and an endless knob on your MIDI controller
- High voltage (>=1V) on FINE increases the precision by factor 10. Can be patched to MIDI-CC and used with a push button on your MIDI controller for high precision adjustments.
- SLEW adds exponential slew on the parameter’s changes. It has been said that it adds a nice analogue feel to Rack’s knobs
- OUT outputs the parameter’s position in 0-10V. Can be used for MIDI feedback if you patch it to CV-CC and send it to the same CC.
- Multiple SAIL modules can be used the same time, so it is possible to use one knob on your controller for relative control, one knob for absolute control and one knob for fine control.
These modules are not available in VCV Library yet as they are still in development. You can download the most recent builds linked below and follow these instructions.
