  • What are some good uses for multiple-out for a synth app?
    Is it more useful in some DAW's that might not have sub-busses?

    Pointers to useful videos appreciated...

    Multiple out for Dixie is really good because it's multi timbral and can do drums, leads, pads, basses etc so you can mix a whole sequence together with different effects on each part.

  • woa nice

    So, this synth can run multiple presets in the same instance and then output each on
    one or more outputs? I'd assume it must be fairly light weight to pull that off.

    I typically use AUv3 synths and just run multiple instances to have drums, leads, pads
    but I usually have so much FX processing going on the number of synths is pretty small
    before I start hitting resource limitations and get crackling.

    Yes, it's got 8 layers and each one can be a different preset so presumably each one gets an "out" .

    ouf this thing is so unintuitive already, will take some time to hack this multi out.. kinda gave up on dixie due to short attention span.. will do some yoga and try again

  • Damn what a great update. The sound design you could do with this now is absolutely nuts to fathom

  • Yeah now it's basically equivalent to a TX802 hardware synth which has 8 outs :)

    So, it's now officially a TX816. 😉

    TX802 had 8 outs but it was limited to 16 voices total. Still have mine.

    With TX816, it was 8 DX7s in one, with 16 voices for each part. With KQD, you can go all out. 😁

    Dream come true, my favorite iOS synth!

  • So each voice of the synth has a separate audio out? If so that's like so insane for me and Id never mix anything proper haha, or what is the 'bone headed' benefit of multi outs on this synth? Perhaps each voice a different effect? Woah...

  • edited July 2020

    Not each voice, but each part. Each multi-out can be single voice or multiple. So, 1st could be a lead (mono or poly), 2nd bass (mono), 3rd chords (poly), 4th pads (poly). Each part can be assigned different midi channels.

    Or you could create a 8-part drum synth with a different part (kick, snare, hats) on different tracks.

    Or even just stack with 2 synth parts for layered sounds, like bitimbral polysynth. Lots of possibilities. And yeah, each part could have different effects.

    Yeah that's true more like a TX816, I still have my TX802 as well :) In fact Dixie makes a great controller for the TX802, you can set it up to load patches into it.

  • @Carnbot Yeah, I've thought about that many times. I even have all outputs on the TX802, patched in, but KQD is so much more convenient.

    "Bone headed"?

    Uhh, just because you don't have a use for it?

    I emailed two feature requests to Kira Ryouta, the developer of KQD. The first was for microtonal support, and the second for multi-outs. He fulfilled them both with surprising speed. I will be supporting this dev in all his endeavors.

    With multi-outs, now when I record in AUM, I have stems for each timbre and can (as you guessed) process each timbre independently. If I want a verb on a snare on channel 3, I can do so without reverberating all 16 timbres. Makes mixing much, much easier if you ask me.

  • This is a better than TX816. It's like 2 of them. 17 outs! The 1st one is all 16 parts combined. 2-17 are individual parts. A little confusing but I'm ok with it. Just mute 1st one.

  • Wow! This is just plain amazing. Layering heaven. 💛🧡❤️💜💙💚

  • I meant I am the bone head and need a child like explanation! Sorry mate, I just don't know what it is. My bad

  • Oh, so yeah different effects on different voices?! Thats super cool in depth!

  • I’ve been trying to figure out multitimbrality on this - is there a way to map different patches to different keys / ranges for example to build a drum kit? Our does it work only with different MIDI channels? Had a good hunt through the manual but couldn’t spot anything...

    I was using Drambo to sequence each individual timbre a channel controlled by Drambo then I could control everything from one window. As far as I know, you’d have to do a kick sound on one timbre, then a snare, etc

    Cheers, that’s what I suspected, I’ll dig into it and see how I go 🙏👍😁
