I had an Idea...

It would be cool if:
1) the metronmome/tempo plugin had 'tap' tempo ability - with a MIDI automation - ie, a midi CC could be sent to KX Control at every Quater note...the 'tempo could be derived from this.
2) this metronome/tempo plugin had an output that could feed a new delay (or effects too, but I can, myself, implement this on a simple delay with no need for slider % to actual TIME conversion - seeing as how it will be based on a temp right?) a signal (-1 to 1) that would adjust that delay plugins delay time, based on the detected tempo.

edit: the delay would have to have its xTram calculated that makes the delay be 8th or quater note capability - but multiple delays could be made that are labled:
quater (50-100 BPM) OR 8th (100-150BPM) etc..
In other words - it would get around the 'unkown' ammount of tram needed.
end edit------------

This way - multiple plugins could make use of this special 'tempo' signal, and would save resources as opposed to every effect having the tempo detecting built in.

Am I just dreaming? DAMN if I wasn't such a porgramming 'tard'.....

The difference is the same as with 'limit' and 'limitn'

The above basically works like this:

if 0x8 < compass (or if you prefer: if compas > 0x8)
compas = 0
else
compass = compass

When using limit, it would be the exact oppsite:

if 0x8 >= compas (or, if you prefer: if compas <= 0x8)
compas = 0
else
compas = compas

Is there any chance to see this compilled for 3538L?
I can use DANE code, provided here, but everytime when I want some weird tempos I must calculate percents for BPM slider

JGSF

I second that... This is very useful.

Dear Guys!

metronomeV10-3538i plugin working with 3538i, but not working with 3545b. My hardware Emu 1820m, needed 3545b.
Please reprogramming metronome with 3545b. Very big thanks.
Sorry, my english very very poor.

Russ

You could use the .da version (you will not get all the features, but it will work with any version of kX).

BTW: Make sure there is a blank line after 'end' when copy/pasting Dane code from the forum.

Ok, I am understand, .da version working with 3435b. But 3538i version very nice, bpm control, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, start/stop button, ect. This version not possible to run with 3435b? Bad idea?

Russ

It is just that I have not seen eyagos (the person who made the plugin) around here in quite some time...

szundiszundi

I tried to change it, but did not succeed. Help I ask you, what it is necessary to write in the Dane editor?

Russ

You tried to change the .da version or the .dll/.kxl version?

You cannot edit the .dll version (it is compiled from C++ source code (which we do not have). For it to work with the current version of kX, it needs to be recompiled using a more recent version of the kX SDK).

If it is the .da version, what changes did you try to make? In what way did it not work?

szundiszundi

I tried to copy and paste 3538i version dane source from 3545b dane editor, and save .da, plugin working, and not tweak window. I see it already now, requires .dll file. I believed it this plain task, but gone astray. I would have need 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8 opportunity, and bpm scale. Sorry, for my very bad english.

Russ

Sorry, but you are not going to be able to get what you want just editing the .da file. You could probably edit the code to make the time signature somewhat selectable (and you already have BPM), but you are are still stuck with the basic GUI, and as such, you will not be able to dial in specific values.

I would suggest that you just use a software based metronome for now. There are many free one's available that can do what you want and more. Aside from that, there is MIDI, and (software based) drum machines and step sequencers, etc.

JGSF

This was a really great plugin.

I just hope that eyagos is OK...

Russ: Thank you for your answer.

JGSF: Thank you, very nice plugin.
