Frame CV Generator - my first RE is out now!

[Speo]

Hey everybody!

I've been under the radar for a while. One reason for that is that I've been putting together a Rack Extension utility to help de-clutter the sequencer and bring new possibilities for intricate movement to the Rack.

FrameCV is out now: https://shop.propellerheads.se/product/ ... generator/

If you have any questions, comments, impressions, please let me know .
The controls are minimal, which is partly intended, and partly due to the fact that I had to finish FrameCV before my Christmas break was up. I'm open to feature suggestions though!

Cheers,
Jan.

Amazing. Bezier curves! An overlay with all the mods displayed! Sold!

[Despondo]

Nice device. Would be good to have a sync feature so that you can sync up to the tempo.

Thank you! Those are two of the features I was most excited about when coding as well.

On the list!

[joeyluck]

Congrats on the release! Looks to be very useful!

Might be handy to have custom labeling. If there's no easy way to make it work on the front, maybe at least just the back?
I like that it would help keep things tidy in the Sequencer, and I'll know what I'm doing (most of the time) when I'm working on a new project... But I think when I revisit a project, I'll have forgotten what it's connected to and controlling. Not that we can't just hover over the CV connection to see. But it would be more immediate seeing a label

[Creativemind]

Nice. Loved the sidechaining, good ducking.

[Catblack]

What I'd like to see is either a number overlay or the ability to see what level you are setting something at. Perhaps the sdk doesn't let you show the value at the mouse cursor (like you get with a knob) in a custom display? In that case, I'd love a knob that lets me dial in values of the selected frame. And two smaller knobs that set the before/after bezier curve points for the selected frame.

Also include in my official wishlist: Remotables. Automation too, but; One remotable to let you select between each of the frames. A remotable to turn on/off the selected frame. A remotable to set the value of each frame. Two remotables to set the curve before/after of each frame. Probably separate remotables for each frame value, each on/off and each before/after curve points. I ask for the remotables because being able to set this from a controller (and see the values) would be beyond awesome and into the realm of the truly indispensable.

I know it must have taken a long while to get it this far. This is one of those tools I'll be reaching for again and again. Thank you.

Instant buy, it´s good tool for Dubstep Music I´ll use it a lot in the future I guess Thanks for making such a handy tool like this.

A few suggestions from my side:

- Solo/Mute for each Frame Generator
- CV Invert
- CV Uni/Bipolar

Cheers

there are so many other free tools you can use in the meantime for it. like the cva 7 cv analyzer which has the feature you request .. also have a look at the free rack extensions thread. Don't miss on the Jiggery ones gone free.

[Speo]

Thanks so much for the quality feedback guys! I'm getting a good feeling where my priorities should be for 1.1.
Solo/Mute + Labels for Mods, Tempo Sync for Trigger, and a Value Display for value and curvatures of the current frame are at the top of the list.

[Breach The Sky]

Nice device! I can see this having a big place in my workflow. I to get tired of all the clutter in the sequencer when you automate a lot.

Have you thought about adding som kind of loop function so it can be used it as a lfo?

[Loque]

Congratulations to your first RE. Hopefully more will come. I will try it tomorrow.

But maybe i have some questions, just while checking out the pictures.
* Is it triggerable by note/gate? Could be usefull if combined with a synth. Maybe switchable triggermode (free/gate). There is a gate on the back, so i need to hook up another device, maybe an RPG8 to trigger it
* Beside some additional modifiers like Env-Scaling, scale, phase-shift, offset and so on, at least a Bi/Uni polar switch would be nice.
* Somekind of time-scale information in the display would be nice, also a sync mode
* I dont see a save/load area. Well, i can save them in a Combinator and inject them if needed
* Are the curves automatable? I guess not...

At this time, it looks easy to hook up a modifieable CV signal. Well done.

[Catblack]

I just want to point out that from my testing, you can set up another lfo on the 'position' cv and automate this that way. Gate will still trigger on the FrameCV if you have one hooked up also, so be careful. But because he's included the position cv in, it's really quite handy!

Now thats some really cool stuff!!!!

[alex]

Great device! Simple and damn useful, I'm sold!

[GRIFTY]

I think this thing is a no-brainer candidate for a custom envelope generator. Just add note-in activation with a small button or something like that.

Also, it begs for some bi-polar CV action. Couldn't be too hard right?

Otherwise seems dope

You know you can just convert it to bi-polar with the combinator?

[Speo]

Really happy you guys are on-board with a simple device like FrameCV. It's something I've been wanting for a while myself.

The way it's setup right now, a trigger (CV in or button) won't block changes on the Position or vice-versa. You can play around with low speeds and changing the Position knob during a run-through to get a feel for that. It's a bit funky, but I kinda like it.

I think this thing is a no-brainer candidate for a custom envelope generator. Just add note-in activation with a small button or something like that.

On the list for 1.1.

Use the Trig Gate CV in on the back. Any device that can send out CV on a note (e.g. mod env CV out) can trigger FrameCV (if you use an ENV, use short values on the decay and no release so quick successive note hits still trigger run-throughs). You can see this setup in action in the overview video!

[Loque]

Great video. Thx.

I am buying it just to support the developer. Speo has been around like forever and makes really good music. I have actually chatted with him on face book. Free this and free that, how about supporting some of the hard work and grit that goes into supporting our platform. Thanks Speo.

[Majestik Monkey]

Congrats with your 1st RE ' Great little Device Speo !

[Taff]

You guys have an amazing ability to make me feel dumb! (Or maybe, I have an amazing ability to make me feel dumb.)

I'm sure this device is a real wonder, and worth every penny, (congrats to the designer.)

But what the hell does it actually do?

[chimp_spanner]

Dude, this one almost slipped past me! Seriously good work. Buying right now.

Taff - it's basically like automation inside a rack. So rather than working in automation lanes, you draw up to 6 curves (with up to 16 stages each), and then each of those 6 curves can go to 6 destinations on one device, or maybe 1 destination on 6 devices, and you can sweep through them all using the position knob. So you could create some really cool bass sounds where moving through the position moves a filter up, the pitch up and then down, FM doing some crazy pattern, all from one device.

[Taff]

Thanks C_S. I don't know if I'd use it, but it's obviously captured the imagination of many here.
