I don't know how it acts on Cubasis, but on ipad you need to keep your finger on the screen til you navigate through the menus to the preset you want to select. When you release your finger that preset will be chosen. This also threw me, as it is not how most ios preset managers work. Definitely worth considering changing that behaviour @woodman, as I think many users will be confused by it.
Yes you're right Gavinski, this is the issue I was having on iPad (ie. having to hold the press to keep the sub-menus visible). Apologies @woodman I mistook what was happening. Keeping those sub-menus persistent would definitely make things a lot easier when picking presets.
Hi @woodman. The WoodVerberator has become crashy for me inside Logic Pro. Since the last update, it seemed to work at first, then not. In addition to the condition illustrated below, I’ve had it freeze when browsing for 3rd party IR files. Please let me know what information I can provide that would help you to pinpoint the problem. Thanks…
@Schmotown : tnx for letting me know, do you have the same problems in other DAW's ? (AUM , ...)
and can you send me the crash log ? go to System prefs / Privacy / Analytics Data / WoodVerberator-date-nr.ips
(the most recent one or a few ...)
@woodman I found four entries in the analytics data which I can send via private messaging. Hang on a second…
+1 The menu scrolling is very finicky and not so easy to go through. Please fix. Cheers, ED
Earlier in this thread I described a problem I’d been having with the WoodVerberator crashing inside Logic Pro. The support from @woodman could not have been better. He reacted immediately to help resolve the situation. After a few days, the plugin began working normally again, although I’m not sure exactly why. Perhaps it was an issue with Logic or something else. In any case, thanks @woodman.
I have a suggestion and a couple questions about using 3rd party IR files. When navigating the files, their names are listed in a seemingly random order making them difficult to find. It would help a lot if the IR files were presented in alphanumeric order in the pulldown menus.
My questions concern the File Mode. How does one know which of the five modes to apply to a particular IR file? Also, some 3rd party IRs come as separate L and R files (e.g. Bricasti M7 from Samplicity) but I don’t see a way to import more than one file into the WoodVerberator at a time.
Thanks again… Joe
@Schmotown : tnx Joe !
for a mono file I have my own decorrelation algorithm to create a stereo reverb.
for stereo ir files (L & R) with L and R (enough) different, it already sounds stereo.
however if L&R are the same (or not stereo enough) L&R + DeCorr can be used which applies my algo on top of the L&R.
the other modes (L,R,L+R) create a mono file out of the stereo after which my algo is applied to create te stereo reverb.
so it finally is a matter of taste ...
stereo ir's which are separate mono files : have to think about this to allow entering them.
a workaround is to import both files in any DAW and bounce as a stereo file (with panning applied :-) ...
Thanks.
Okay. Not a huge priority as separate L / R files seem pretty uncommon.
@Cambler @ElektrikDiva : I am nearly done with a new preset browser, if you want to test it inTestflight, send me a message with your email address.
Thanks @woodman. Sent you a dm.
@all : I just released v2.0 which has a brand new preset browser and 29 new presets.
Also has a new Tail bandpass filter which allows to make the tail only brighter or darker.
And it has midi V2 Property Exchange which allow a midi controller (like WoodTroller) to receive all the parameter names, values, ranges, units, CC numbers, etc as well as receive all the preset names with their midi PC and bank number.
Just rediscovered this for the first time— my fave reverb on iPad.
Hi @woodman. Can’t find the manual online so asking here instead.
The blurb says the maximum reverb length is 10 seconds or the IRs native length. Can I check that this means that if the IR is longer than 10 seconds, the full length will be available/heard within the plugin?
Secondly, how many impulse responses does it come with? Many thanks.
The link to the manual was posted here.
Perfect, thanks @danbun.
@woodman, all of the presets seem to have the Mix set to 100% by default, even the ones with some sort of pre delay applied (which obviously can’t be heard with the mix at 100%).
Just letting you know in case this is not as intended - I’ve never encountered a reverb which has all of its presets set to be 100% wet by default?
I think that’s standard for send reverbs. I know IK group their reverb presets by sends and by inserts.
Yes, standard for send reverbs but presets here aren’t grouped in that way so it seems like an odd decision if it’s intentional?
I’m OK with them all being sends by default but @woodman it would be great if you could lock the Mix dial when browsing presets for anyone using it as an insert.
@gusgranite : very good idea ... on the TO DO list
@woodman, is it possible to create a new folder into which user impulse responses can be saved? If not, is there any chance you could add a User folder to serve this purpose? Cheers.
@Robin2 : yes, navigate to iCloud Drive / Woodverberator. In there there is or you can create a folder named "samples". Any file or subfolder in there should appear in the IR list.
Brilliant, thanks for the help. Cheers.
Hi @woodman. This method works perfectly but it’s not really a workable solution for those of us with limited iCloud storage available unfortunately.
I notice that when I turn off iCloud access for Woodverbator and then save a user impulse response in the app, that impulse response is properly saved and still available to select when the app has been forced closed and restarted. Presumably this means the impulse response is saved by the app on the device? Could the folder containing these user impulse responses not be made visible within the Files app? It would make managing impulse responses a bit easier if it were.
Also, it seems like user impulse responses saved in this non iCloud way aren’t shared between the standalone and AU versions of the app?
Robin2 : the app will need an update for sharing the files between stand-alone and AUv3 and to expose in the Files app.
The advantages of using iCloud is just that those files are automatically shared between stand-alone and AUv3 but also between a Mac or other iPads. They will also not be deleted when ever the app is deleted or has to be re-installed. And auto backed-up in the Cloud. That's why I assumed most people would be using the iCloud storage.
Thanks for the explanation @woodman. Yes, your reasoning is sound except for those users who don’t want to give Apple any more money to increase their iCloud storage and become locked into a subscription for the rest of time.
IR files can take up a lot of space so it’s just not really a viable option if you only have the standard 5gb of iCloud storage.
Hopefully you might consider allowing the user to have more control/choice over where things are stored? It really would be beneficial to some of us.
@Robin2 : sure I will update this after I have finished the WoodPecker update I am currently working on.
That’s brilliant, thank you so much, it’ll make a real difference for me. Cheers.
