Audio Damage Enso

Janosax

Anyone else has issues with super long time (up to 10 seconds) to save Enso buffer to Files App on iOS 13 (GarageBand File Transfer folder)?

Just find the fix as I had the issue only with 7 Plus and not SE: Enso had some lag with Files app because I needed to connect again to Google, Dropbox, OneDrive and Adobe Document Cloud accounts. Workflow saved!!! :-)

This is probably a really stupid question, but I am trying to record a loop of me playing Continua with my KeyStep into Enso in AUM... but when I hit the record button, nothing happens. I set it up in the same way Chris did in the 40 minute tutorial on YouTube, but it won't work. What am I doing wrong? I have Keystep connected and Continua as a sound source, it sounds (beautiful), but when I enter Enso as an effects unit, I am not able to record...

Press play in AUM?

Wow, I feel stupid now... thank you!

It might be helpful if you posted a video showing how you have things configured.

But not as stupid as before Hope it’s still sounding beautiful.

Finally got around to setting up Enzo. After reading the manual front to back and watching an hour of youtube videos, I understand it pretty well. I was so shocked to find out about the wonky midi control in AUM. Enzo still only midi maps to CC not plain note-on/note-off and basic common parameters are not exposed through AUM's midi parameter control, like trigger, clear loop, and overdub. Had I known this beforehand I probably wouldn't had wastes hours setting and learning the plugin.

BUT...

I try to be a problem solver not a complainer, so here's a simple workaround. Use mfxconvert inside AUM to convert your midi notes to CC, then map inside Enzo.

All is not lost!
You can access other midi parameters, including those mentioned above, in the app itself. Maximize the window and behold! Midi learn.

Thanks for the response, but you don't quite understand. The internal midi learn inside Enzo only works with MIDI CC not regular note on/note off. Some controllers are able to send CC and notes...others just send notes (like the one I'm using). AUM can use both in its midi mapping, but Enzo doesn't show basic stuff (like trigger or clear) to AUM's internal midi mapping. So if you're trying to control Enzo with a controller that only sends notes, it won't work unless you remap the whole controller with a 3rd party midi utility.

This is a flaw in Enzo that should be addressed in an update. I don't know why Audio Damage chose to not expose the basic buttons to the host or to only use midi CC for it's own midi learn.

Audio Damage? Update? You’ll be waiting a year. And it’ll come with a snarky response from Chris Randall. Don’t get me wrong, I like their products but there’s always a few basic things missing and you wait many months or a year for them to be fixed. I won’t support AD anymore.

Yeah, I've never understood why it's CC only in the app (or why you don't have access to all controls in the AU parameters). A control like Trigger absolutely should be controlled by a note, not a CC. Especially when you consider that most MIDI LFOs (Rozeta, apeMatrix Send MIDI) send repeat values of the CC even when set to square waves and that will make Enso freak out as it tries to change state with every message!

As you said, a converter like mfxConvert to change a note to CC is the way to go.

Stick with it though, it's a lot of fun with the reversing, different play and record speeds, Dub not in Place, etc.!

So do I understand right that by using mfx convert I could assign any key on my keyboard to trigger enso? But this needs to be set up in advance, which key exactly, will trigger it?

Yes. Several controls in Enso only respond to CCs. With mfxConvert (or StreamByter, Mozaic, etc.) you could convert a note to a CC and control Enso from your keyboard.
Yes, you will need to set all this up in advance.

Gavinski

Thnx, is there actually a Mozaic script for that already?

Not that I know of. Using mfxconvert was pretty easy once I got my head around the naming conventions of midi cc. Certainly faster than learning some scripting language. That plugin has midi learn, so you just tap the note you want to convert, set it to a midi cc, then midi learn the new key inside Enzo.

I was able to set up 2 loopers inside AUM mapped to 6 keys (trigger, clear, and overdub on each). All the conversion was done with one instance of mfxconvert. Just make sure to save the settings as a preset.

@coolout mfx apps look nice!

Does anyone else have a problem with this not loading in AUM?

I have tried launching the app before I try to load it into AUM. It takes an age to load, about 30 seconds and then comes up with the red warning over the app's icon and tells me to reload. I have got it to load a few times but it's much more likely that it won't.

Gavinski

I have no problem (though, like many audio damage apps, it is not that reliable in terms of crashing, not usually during use, but often after a period of not using it, when it was just sitting dormant in a slot). Maybe try deleting and reinstalling, then opening the standalone one time before trying to load the AU in AUM

JohnnyGoodyear

This app seems sufficiently like a boffin with soup in his beard that I haven't really opened it yet...

david_2017

My goto looper. Love Enso. But only one instance of it

Gavinski

Mine too, despite its unreliability, it is brilliant.

Yep, done the ol' uninstall reinstall fandango. Tried opening it on the Home screen and then closing it and then opening Aum and then loading it into the Effects slot. And every other permutation of all that. I even tried loading it with Retro Piano because it worked with that the last time it loaded. No luck. I have burnt some sage and done a small dance to the gods of iOS but they're not hearing me. The bastards.

Gavinski

Haha, damn

ashh

Also, contacted the dev via Twitter and email but not heard anything back yet. I'm guessing they have weekends off. Clearly not commiitted.

Gavinski

Hahaha, actually they are a lot better at replying now than they used to be, I'm sure you'll hear back soon.

Fandango is an excellent name for an app, deserves its own thread.

Gavinski

Except there’d be a hell of a lot of competition between all the apps deserving of that name 😂

Enso is not one of them. Still nothing from the dev. Gawd bless em.>

America is just starting their Monday morning now. Give them some time
