OSC for Reaktor Metaphysical Function

Hi and Happy New Year to all the Liine community,

I have just upload in the User Library a osc template for the Metaphysical Function reaktor ensemble, it is based on the MF Auralis 3.3.2 version from Arachnaut.
You can find the initial ensemble in the NI User library (http://goo.gl/xRhLd). The ensemble in the template have no sample map in it. It require the full Reaktor 5.8 software. It works with the Eternity sample map from patchpool.

There is some little bugs persistent in the template, essentially when you use the random function ie; the "play" button for the sliders are not actualised.

Find it here :http://liine.net/en/community/user-library/view/345/

27/01/13 - 1.3 Update:
Add controls for Resochord and Reverb
Add Physics control for Filter Multiball
Minor fixes



Comments are welcome, and you can freely modify it.

Sorry if you already download it, i found a little bug in the sampler range selection.
It is corrected in the 1.1 file.
Please download again ....

This is great news, good work Diversgens

Iam really looking forward to try this out. Does automation record work properly?

I have been working on a midi template for MF for a while, but hav'nt been able to get automation to work.

This is truly wonderful! I've been playing around with it for a few hours now, and have really lost myself in improvisation...the automation seems to work well..a click here and there while toggling, not that big of a deal. I've experienced interface freezing when i'm swinging around the multiballs on both A & B for cut-off and res, but no audio dropouts..these are issues with my machine, no doubt.

Thank you so much for this...I will be using this regularly!!!

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments ..

Yes automation is working, i have try to make the template as accurate as possible with the ensemble. To record automation you have to be in "Play" mode, grey button turn blue, then click once on the dark blue button under the precedent, automation record begin, click again on the dark blue button, automation begin.

When automation is record, you can stop it and relaunch with the grey button, until you record a new automation ....

Pay attention to the Restart button in the Random tab it " Synchronise all sliders, When enabled, beginning playback or recording on any slider will restart all other sliders", it can be disturbing.

@darrenj, sorry no freeze here with a lot of automated sliders ans multiballs A+B on "Physic". Does it freeze on ipad or computer ?

And i'm agree i spend few hours tweaking sliders and discovering so much incredible sounds when making the template. This ensemble is truly amazing and once you load another samplemap, the magic is back ...

Yes yes yes, its working pretty well, really good job.

Thank you so much

The only thing I miss, is reverb and resochords extra funktions, and maybe some controls for the physics. But I can implant them myself.

It just freezes on my computer, however, I'm still able to move sliders on the ipad (while the gui on the computer is momentarily 'frozen') and hear the sonic events take place...it only happens while moving the multiballs in tandem with sliders. But to that end, I've found that slow movements of the balls creates the most intriguing sounds...simply place a thumb on each ball (in physics mode) and i'm off.

Again, great work. Many thanks, my friend...magic, indeed!

@darrenj how is the cpu meter of reakor on your computer (here 8% on i7 2600k) ?
@alloedee i was just about thinking of it, my first goal was to have as much controls as possible on one interface easy readable. Perhaps can i use an hidden container with a show/hide button for the extra controls or add new tab on the 2 existing containers ...
I was thinking also of an other version with vertical (or horizontal) only multiballs with control on physics and range, it will bypass the reaktor automation.. need to find some time now

My CPU is anywhere between 15-22%...I'm on an older Macbook with a 2.2 dual core..the source of the issue. I've experienced no 'freezing' while using Reaktor in standalone..

Cheers!

Hello
I like your Template very much.This is for what i am waiting for so long.
But i can only control the parameters from the Ipad.
There is no feedback for example when i change presets.
I do osc-send manually for some parameters but this is a lot of work.
Is there a chance to set the osc-send globally for all parameters ?
Thanks in advance.

It is fully send/receive osc ready, be sure to check the osc settings in Reaktor under File>OSC Settings.
In "OSC send" you must have "Lemur" under Identifier, the ip adress of Lemur and 8000 under port. You can send a test message and see in "OSC Receive" if there is a PING-PONG message under OSC Monitoring.
Hope it help.

Hello
A big thank for the support !
This was exactly what I am searching for.
Great combination this Ensemble and this Template.
Many thanks again.
Greetings.

Hey again.

There is a bug in oscillator 5 from left i A, its get stucked and cannot move.

Sorry to ear about a bug, but i have try myself to reproduce it and it doesn't append.
Can someone else confirm this and post details to reproduce it.

I have make some improvements to the template and add some features for the next update. I will try to upload it in the next days.

Hello! I'm not experienced in Reaktor, but why do OSC Receive objects connected to Separator objects without any "Thld" value ?

Perhaps am i wrong but there is no need for threshold because the value send to Osc Send is already between 0 and 1.... bur i will look at it when i find some time.

The 1.3 update is in the User Library

So, it also recieving values outside 0 to 1? Sorry for possibly noob question, what's the purpose of separation of OSC input in general?

I use Osc Send and Osc receive mostly because the Mouse Area module send x/y value and i need, in this special case, to send or receive only one value at the time.
With the 5.8 update most of the parameters of Reaktor are directly controllable without the need of Osc Send or Osc Receive. Metaphysical Function is special in this aspect because it use a lot of mouse area module instead of faders or buttons.
I hope it answer the question more or less clearly, english is not my native language.

Yes, it cleared up a lot, thanks. Actually, I started to dig your template to make feedack of automated controllers, so faders in Lemur would follow the respective faders in Reaktor. Did you plan to do it by any chance?

It is already ....!! I think you must look a little bit more in Reaktor OSC and Midi preferences in the File menu.
You have 3 tab Receive, Send and Sync (sorry i'm not in front of my daw), set the Receive port to the same as you configure in Lemur editor or setting sin app, in the send tab you must enter the ip of the lemur (find it in the lemur editor, settings, lemur) and the port must be 8000 or 8001 (??), click on test, if all is ok you must see a ping and pong on the Receive tab ...

Hope it helps ...
