Get AFX mode in AUv3 synth in AUM.

cadetrim

I like the idea of AFX mode in the Bass Station II, in which each key can be assigned with an individual timbre, which is suitable for drum beats.

In AUM, AUv3 plugin preset loading could be controlled by midi note messages, so that we could get a similar function.

But I noticed that except for Moog Model 15/D, many other synths in my collection have rather long latency between switching presets and your tapping keys making proper sound.
(and also these other synths can’t hold sustain after presets switching.)

So we can send the midi note signal to midi fx plugin to delay these notes. Here I use Streambyter to accomplish this.

streambyter code:

if load
set q0 delay $10 $500 +s
ass Q0 = $100 +p
set name Note_Delay
set slider_display 1
end

if MT < A0
send M0 M1 M2 +Dq0
block
end

Move the delay slider to find the suitable delay time for the synth.

I find that Moog Model 15 has the shortest delay time about 30 ms, 70ms for Model D, and 100ms for the rest of my synths. Add some more delay if there is too much crackling.

Steps:

1. Save some presets in AUM
   

2. Go to ‘preset load’, tap ‘add action’ to add those presets.
   Then assign them with notes. 60 is 3C in hex, which is note C3 in some apps (like AD phosphor ) ,and C4 in some other apps (like AUM built-in keyboard )
   Now AUM keyboard C4, D4, E4 are mapped to load presets 1, 2, 3 respectively.
   

3. Midi routing example. You can replace keyboard with other midi-out devices like sequencer.

I don't have the hardware, but this is a quite simple (cheap) way to get an interesting result.

Cool idea! I've long thought about how to hack AUM presets. Will need to give this a shot.

Tips for better work flow:

Save any 16 (or more) presets as 1-16
map them all.
route them all.

Save the session as a template for this synth.

Now you can hot-swap preset (save the synth preset as the same name) without mapping again.

Would be nicer if pop-up parameter mapping window could be pinned, not vannish, while using bulit-in keyboard, so that it could be used to insert midi learn info.

I'll look into this in the future. However it's not very hard to just dial in "ch 1" and the MIDI note you want, knowing that middle-C is note 60.

Thanks for responding.
I know this is one of those niche requests. It is convenient only when there are a lot of things to map with notes.

It doesn’t make much sense in software
Why not call up as many things as you need and don’t get stuck with you can not play these sounds at the same time

A Drum beat that only plays one sound at a time isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. ^^

Because dsp is quite limited for old mobile devices especially using consumer app like model 15. I open like 5 of those apps and a couple of midi fx apps and it gets wonky and has crackling sound.

The method above is only a workaround, and some apps don't sound good in this way. But you can actually play chords by adding another midi prossessor to convert the notes in to chords.

Arping the drum kit seems like a common technique, and I think I've heard that a lot in 90s' IDM. But they might use the samples instead of synth.
