Are you considering development for Scope 5.0 or just an avid user?
Perhaps. Depends a lot on how the SDK5 falls out.

Re: Neglected MIDI messages

That particular well was poisoned by manufacturers using the 0 velocity for note-off. If some do and some don't, it doesn't make a lot of sense to support it. The main reason for using velocity 0 was that, in the early days of MIDI when MIDI stream processors were far slower than today, the roughly ...

Re: Is a system like Kyma possible in Scope?

Just a couple factual updates. I have used Kyma for about 10 years, Scope (starting with a Pulsar card) for about 8 years, and I have written extensive MIDI control modules for both, to link to my software. So I'm pretty familiar with both the differences and similarities. The Kyma team is a twofer:...

Re: Is a system like Kyma possible in Scope?

If you are only looking to morph sounds, yes that could be done by Scope. In fact I would guess (but admittedly haven't tried it) you could get decent morphing-like effects with the Mod3 Vocoder Analysis & Synthesis modules, or the Orbitone Vorb. But if you are looking to have a Kyma-in-a-Scope,...

Thanks for your reply. I've answered by PM.

I hope SC changes their non commercialization policy for SDK4 developers too. It seems everyone would benefit if devices were at least allowed to be released as shareware.

Re: Problem w Prog Change on 3rd pty synths

Well 3 out of 4 is pretty good if it happens. Especially those three. Each one is a terrific synth, that goes well beyond something you could cobble up as a Modular patch. I look forward to being able to use them. Thanks for your traction on this.

Hi John, I just checked & you're correct about Paradox. I sent Neutron a message to let him know about this in case nobody had already told him. ~Mark Thanks. I usually try to notify the synth developers directly, and in the case of the Paradox I wrote a note last week in the synth's intro thre...

Re: Problem w Prog Change on 3rd pty synths

Thanks for explaining this...I wasn't sure if there was some magic trick I didn't know about that would make them work. Now I know there isn't and if MIDI Program change is required (as I do because I control everything algorithmically), the synths with this issue simply will not work for me. Of the...

Problem w Prog Change on 3rd pty synths

There seems to be a problem with most 3rd party synths responding to MIDI Prog and Bank change. I know to number both the Program list and the Banks, and I have no trouble with this on the standard Scope synths or on the Modular synths. But most 3rd party synths simply don't respond to the MIDI chan...

Re: Hardware version 16 detected error ... pro 4.5 on XP

Use deoxit gold, stabilant 22, 99% isoprobyl alchohol or etc to clean the contacts (NOT tuner cleaner or 70% alchohol). Just curious, why do you warn against 70% alcohol? Same bitter taste additives as 99%, which as far as I know do not leave a residue; and the other 29% is just distilled water, ri...
