Need some help with the SpaceF Modular Mixer: MB7

[ehasting]

Hello,

(this is a double post from the spaceF forum. i am just not sure if that forum is active anymore)

I want to use the MB7 due to the massive routing possibility inside the device, however when i try to change the effect algo from serial to parallel, Fx2 does not get any sound into it, only Fx1. Making the Xfade/parallel configuration not working. Is this a bug, or just me that need some training..?

I can check tonight but I don't think it is a bug.
There should be a "Help" button at the top right, which shows you the different routings.
May be it can show you what is wrong ?
PM me a preset if you wish. I'll be back home tonight and can check it.

Thanks, that's quite embarassing, I've been feeding users with a kind of alpha/beta for xite.
That issue and a few others weirdnesses (return gain levels, preset label) are fixed now. (only the "p" button on channel 1 is still "on", i just saw that, but that will be for later now (this dev really needs a graphic overhaul)....
MB7-b117
in the user area
sorry for the unconvenience... but you made me see I can now use MB7 in xite (was not possible in scope, too big for me).

[ehasting]

Great work!! Thanks a lot!! The mb7 is great!
But input 5 to 7 should perhaps be labled aux1 to aux3 in?

I will dl and test tomorrow.

I love the modular mixer! The STM is having too many screen and mouse clicks, while your
Stuff is showing it all! Way more efficient when making music.

If i click the par/ser. button on and off i often get this message. However it works as it should now. So no rush!

Thanks again for the quick fix btw.

[spacef]

weird.
you're in scope or xite ?
I don't have that error on xite..... (but the dev is still "made on scope DP, ie, made for scope)
may be it is a case of "almost dsp overload" ?
here, i click and click and no problem.
keep me updated if it does it too often or if it happens to other people.
thanks

Hey,

I am on the old platform (wish i had xite though). Running SCOPE 5.1.
I have a 27dsp system and is probably on 30% load. So no problem there. And its just to click the OK box, and everything works without any delay.

Its easy to recall if i click rapidly on the button, but it also shows now and then when clicking slower. I dont consider this as any big issue Since its working anyway.

BTW: Another thing. The ScreenSets does not work with the modular mixer, and i was told that this was something that the developer need to look into. Its the same for the DAS plugins. But i am wondering. How hard is it to incorporate support for the ScreenSets?

[spacef]

Yeah, but I hate those error message when there is no reason for them to happen ...

Screensets: I think there is something to activate in the surface but also the preset list if I remember well. I am not sure it means that it can change the current preset/parameter when recalling screensets. sounds dangerous to me
what do you use screensets for ?

[ehasting]

Isnt screenSet only kind of what is visible. So i can set up my modular mixers in differnt views. One with mixer + stem mixer, then another screenset with MaseterBus and Optimaster. Then by using hotKeys i can change between the different views?

It should not do anything regarding parameters as fare as i know?!

[spacef]

Please get the MB7-b120 "for multiple scope board" in the user area and let me know if it fixes the problem, or else.
Thanks.

[ehasting]

Hey!

I cant re-create the problem after running the new version! seems to be fixed!
Great Job! Thanks!

[spacef]

Great.
Please note that I tried renaming the B5->B7 into A1 - A3 but it looked a bit messy.... in another version may be.

[ehasting]

No problem man! just loving the device! Btw.. i have bought a montor controller, and want to utilize the MB7 Rec output for checking sources, but the source select knob on the Rec is not working properly, so i cant select by midi. Can you check it out?

Hi there,
Sure I will check that.
I give you a couple of days though, because as I said before, this MB7 is still a kind of beta with a lot of things that were disconnected and redone, but not fully tested (as all development are suspended). It is much easier for me to do , say, 2 / 3 bug resolve per session, than 1 every x days , so if you find something else, please add it to the list
Thanks a lot for your time !

PS : you are finding bugs in all areas for which MB7 was actually designed (crossfading FX, remote control of the rec selector etc etc) I hope you don't find too much of them though !

[ehasting]

I will keep my eyes open. I just love the mb7! Its just great as the final stage for scope! Easy routing and record. Also extensive effect routing and crossfade!

I am just happy you are helping out! Thank you

Adding another issue regarding Modular Mixer.
The Device named R127V is missing B1L output. probably a mather of rewire.

Hi there,

Wasn't it corrected in the latest bug corrections (check in the announcement section topic about mod mixer, last page).
I am quite far from my scope right now, and had no computer to reply until now. I will check all this when I am back home on sunday.
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your patience and bug report.
all the best

Hello, i found some weird problem with 12M-Rec (if you are still up for small bugfix).

When using the Rec outputs they seems to be completly shifted and weird.

Channel 1, outputs on both Rec1 and Rec12
Channel 4 does not output at all
Channel 5-6, outputs on Rec4 and Rec5
-- And from here i think its shifted.

What i am actually looking for is a 24 channel mixer which gives me 3 insert, level and VU. so i can use them as pre-outboard mixer. 12ML-Rec does the job fine

So question is. if i am just outputing the i.e. 1LO , 2LO, etc.. i should be fine?
