    Can’t find a direct way but is there a round about way to route different synth parameters to velocity? Am I missing something?

    Obsidian parameters ? There are two main methods:

    A/ mod matrix

    Source > Key > Velocity. This way you can map EVERY parameter to velocity

    B/ envelopes

    In envelope screen, tap "Scaling" - there you can define how much is envelope level increased or decreased with by velocity (check default settings in AMP envelope, it's top left "VEL" knob

    Envelope settings are quite complex, not just basic velocity > level , they contain some pretty unique possibilities ... here short explanation:

    1 - how VELOCITY affects level knob. if you set it for example to 30%, it means at velocity 0 it is 30% smaller than default setting

    2 - how NOTE affects level knob (for example if you set "KEY" to 30% at C0, it means starting by C0 note level is continuously decreased and at last (G8) note it is 30% smaller than on C0

    3 - how VELOCITY affects time of "attack", "decay" and "release" knobs. If you set it to 30%, it means at velocity 0 is Attack/Decay/Relases about 30% shorter than it's default value

    4 - how NOTE affects ltime of "attack","decay" and "release". (for exampel if you set "KEY" to 30% at C0, it means starting by C0 attack,decay and relases are shorter and shorter, and at last (G8) note they are 30% shorter than their default values.

    Awesome thank you! The mod page was what I was missing.

  • ciancian

    Hey @dendy - somewhere where the manual is a bit lacking is for oscillators. Is it possible to get an explanation for the following:

    • Wavetable - What does Mode do?
    • NanoSaw - What does Falloff and mix do?

    Also what is a bipolar envelope?

    Thanks

  • dendydendy

    @cian

    wavetable mode

    • single - during tweaking "pos" knob, it changes instantly from one wave to other. Good if you want play just particular wave from wavetable
    • crossfade - during tweaking "pos" knob it makes crossfades between individual waves in table. Good for smooth browsing through wavetable, for example usimg LFO or ENV modulation
    • detune2,4,spread4 - like "single", but instead of single voice it plays 2 or 4 detuned voices of wave selected by "pos" knob .. so it's somehing like unison

    nanosaw fallof

    just watch oscillator graphics, it does exactly what you see :)) it means how much quieter ar detuned voices compared to root note ...

    bipolar envelope

    mostly for modulating targets which default value is 0 and they can be modulated in both way - and +. Like pitch for example, you can define going from negaive to zero or from positive to zero during attack and durimg release phase

    like in this example, here pitch goes from positive value to zero during attack, and then from zero to negative value during release:

    There are some other bits of NS2 that I don't like (not being able to mute/solo the track lanes for a start)- but its the link/cycle that annoys me every time.

    You can mute/solo track lanes. Expand the height to show the knobs, or use the mixer view. One unique feature is when you solo a muted track, it goes back to muted when you unsold it. This is very handy.

    When you zoom back out, the mute and solo state is indicated by colors. Muted track patterns are grayed out.

    @wim he was probably talking about multiple lanes of same track which really cannot be mited individually, because they aren't actually independent tracks, just visual "virtual copies" of same track

    workaround how to mute everything on single lane is :

    • tap any clip on that lane (single tap to select it)
    • now tap in bottom icons Select > Row (this selects all clips on that lane)
    • now double tap "properties" - all selected clips are muted and switches to grey color

    Great tips. I’m really really loving Nanostudio 2 but still getting used to all the little workflow tools

    Just got one idea about about working with loops in NS2, will share it here, maybe somebody will like it :)

    What i did

    • i loaded few loops with same length (1 bar - but it works same way also in longer loops) into Obsician (first loop on C2, second on C#2, third on D2, etc etc
    • i disabled key tracking (so all notes plays loops exactly on their default pitch
    • now i mapped macro knob 8 to sample start, and i created sample start 0-100 automations for every loop. In clip, loop is not played as one long 1 bar note but 16th notes instead - so sample start automation ensures it's continuous playing


    Now - i can, just by transposing notes continously switch between playing loops - they all play still perfectly in sync because sample start automation controls which part of loop is playing

    Here for example in second bar, first beat plays loop which is loaded on C#2, but then second beat switches to loop loaded D#2, and then for beats 3,4 it returns back to loop loaded on C#2

    This way it is possible to play with beat variations just by transposing notes. Very interesting result !

    Sorry if the question has already been asked and has already been answered, but this is a rather long discussion.
    Is there a way to play legato and with portamento in Obsidian?

    Hit the 'voice' tab in the oscillator section :)

    On one of the YouTube vids comment section, the developer posted earlier this year that there would be audio tracks in NanoStudio by the end of 2019.
    Is that still happening or is there a later date for this to happen that I missed?

    It won't be this year, but no date has been given

    There was a delay with development because of issues arising from AUv3 intregration AFAIK.

    Guys anyone know if NS2 outputs midi sync?
    I’m finally spending some quality time with it but I’m hitting some walls😳😳😓

    Like i have it in AB3 sending to AUM so i can sync start everything using the AB3 side bar. But when i hit record in NS2, only NS2 starts.🤔

    I tried everything and read the manual but nada.😐

    I was able to record some awesome midi drum loops from Rock Drummer into NS2 and sent the recorded midi to Drum Session and it worked great!

    But i can’t remember how the heck did i get them to all sync start when i placed NS2 in record mode.

  • dendydendy

    No In/Out midi sync yet.

    Thanks Dendy😌

    But it follows midi sync right?

  • Tones4ChristTones4Christ

    Is there a way to put NS2 in record pause mode? So it starts recording once it receives start message from other apps?

  • dendydendy

    Is there a way to put NS2 in record pause mode?

    unfortunately no.

  • Tones4ChristTones4Christ

    Thanks Dendy no worries,
    Will work around it. Guess record the midi drum output and trim later.😌

    Nope, not even sync in IAA mode. NS2 wants to be the only star of the show and only permits a few junior LINK members to join the backstage party.
    DAW with sync usually means Gadget, Modstep, BM3 or Groove Rider.
    And Loopy HD for audio.

    No In/Out midi sync yet.

    This one kills me. I'd love to use NS2 in tandem with my hardware, but the midi limitations are the biggest hurdle. I love NS2 so very much, but it saddens me how much of an island it feels like sometimes.

    It's just crying out to use with external midi, but it is just too limited at the moment. The one piece of iOS software that I'd trust not to fail me in a live performance setting, but I can't sync to midi, send Program Changes, or map parameters to midi cc (well, a few.. but 10 parameters? come on..)

    Any update on recording AuMidiFx to tracks?

    No point even asking that until some time after audio tracks are delivered. It's nowhere near that in the priority queue and is apparently a pretty major re-architecting effort. You won't see it any time soon, and you also won't get any date projections. Blip just doesn't operate that way.

    The workarounds aren't difficult though.

    There hasn't been an update since it went universal. I wouldn't expect another release until the audio track update is ready. And we aren't likely to be told in advance of the release date of other changes

    The update is an hit or miss.. a creativity killer.. (midi tools)... too bad..

    Personally I'm treating it as a groovebox (largely because I have mini 2 air 2 too weak for AuV3 without freezing.) Usually have 2-3 Auv3 send effects and Rozeta arp.

    I really don't like Cubasis. BM3 is very good but a lot of things are clunky.

    Actually I tend to FAR prefer standalone (maybe due to older ipads)

    NS2 (with synthjacker) Gadget 2 Caustic 3 (with very good sf2s) are my thing. Usually export and put final touches in Reason 10.

    All with some standalone or AB3 midi apps driving input.

    The strength of NS2 is slick workflow and the instruments, easy MIDI export is very nice as well.
