One Small Clue updates Poise Percussion Sampler to v1.0.78

Posted on by

One Small Clue has updated Poise Percussion Sampler to version 1.0.78.

Changes:

  • New: Quick Drum Pad Render feature. [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Drag & Drop] will render (and export) a drum pad.
  • New: Geist Kit format support added.
  • New: “Render Pad To Disk” and “Save Render Only” commands.
  • New: Load Previous / Next Sample hot keys. [B / N].
  • Change: The parameter scaling for the ADSR amplitude envelope was very poor in the lower ranges. This has been improved.
  • Change: When attempting to edit sample files that only existed in RAM, Poise would fail silently. Now Poise will give the option to save the sample file to disk, then open the sample editor.
  • Bug Fix: The ADSR amplitude envelope didn’t work correctly with very small decay times.
  • Bug Fix: Auto-select pads was temporarily disabled after selecting “edit sample with…” command.
  • Bug Fix: Poise would occasionally crash when changing drum kits.
  • Bug Fix: Rendered sample volume levels are now consistent when “velocity to amplitude” modulation amounts are less then 100%.
  • Bug Fix: GUI resizing in Sonar should now work.
  • Bug Fix: GUI resizing in Cubase 5.5.3 now works correctly.
  • Bug fix: Hang-on-exit bug has been fixed. This bug would only show on some machines. It was related to improper thread handling when previewing samples in the browser.
  • Bug Fix: when loading more then 8 samples, an error dialog shows. This shouldn’t happen.
  • Bug Fix: Individual sample layers are now only selected by MIDI when the host sequencer is stopped. (Previously automatic drum pad selection was suppressed, but individual sample layers were still selected.

While at heart Poise is just a sampler, it has been designed from the ground up with drums in mind. The workflow and options available have been tweaked to this end.

dRAM-dIGITAL releases Prodrums 10.6

Posted on by

dRAM-dIGITAL has announced the release of Prodrums 10.6, a new drum sampler plug-in that includes all the features that dRAM-dIGITAL thinks are important yet leaves out all the bells and whistles that are not as prodrums106important, thus making it simple and straightforward to use.

Features:

  • Loads 2 stereo or mono wav files per pad and can cross fade between them.
  • Pitch, Attack and Decay controls per pad.
  • 6 selectable outs.
  • Mute switch.
  • A switch that enables decay modulation via velocity.
  • Can store 64 user drum kits.
  • Each pad’s MIDI note number can be re-assigned.
  • No knobs – its all sliders.

Price: USD 29.00

One Small Clue updates Poise Percussion Sampler to v1.0.13

Posted on by

One Small Clue has updated Poise Percussion Sampler to v1.0.13. poise10131

Changes:

  • Improvement: Pads now have a voice mode property (Mono/Poly). Poly is the default and allows pads to play overlapped notes. Mono prevents notes from overlapping.
  • Improvement: ‘Pad Release mode’ has been replaced by ‘Play Mode’.
  • Improvement: Choke groups have been replaced by the more flexible Cut/Cut by scheme. Poise did have Cut/Cut by functionality but it was a non-standard implementation and was confusing to use.
  • Improvement: The Auto, Name and Samples buttons have all been removed. Their purpose was either cryptic or unnecessary. The Auto button has been replaced by a ‘Select pad with MIDI notes’ in the drum pad context menu. The Name button has been replaced by a ‘View’ option in the drum pad context menu.
  • Improvement: The pad output selection control has changed from a numeric knob to a pop-up menu.
  • Improvement: The pad mute/solo indicators are now less visually overwhelming.
  • Improvement: Cut/Cut by drum pad indicators are now the same color as the drum pad text.
  • Improvement: The pitch knobs were impossible to adjust accurately. They now snap to semitone and cent values.
  • Improvement: Pad Lock added. When loading a drum kit, locked pads will not be altered.
  • Improvement: The hot key routines have been tweaked slightly to improve support for having multiple Poise GUIs open at the same time. (Hot keys were linked to the most recent opened GUI.) This hasn’t been tested extensively but appears to work correctly so far.
  • Bug Fix: The pad layer mode button wasn’t updated when loading a sample on an empty drum pad.
  • Bug Fix: Folders not containing any samples or child folders were unable to be closed.
  • Bug Fix: Linked pads didn’t receive note-off events.
  • Bug Fix: Help text in status bar would disappear after adjusting a knob, even when the cursor was still above the knob.
  • Bug Fix: Mute and Solo light colors on the drum pad weren’t set correctly when reading skin config.ini file.
  • Bug Fix: [Podium] Poise would steal focus from Podium when the GUI was opened. Even when hot keys weren’t enabled.

While at heart Poise is just a sampler, it has been designed from the ground up with drums in mind. The workflow and options available have been tweaked to this end.

One Small Clue updates Poise Percussion Sampler to v1.0.11

One Small Clue has updated Poise Percussion Sampler to v1.0.11. poise08

Changes:

  • New: Added an ADSR envelope.
  • New: Added a Pad Link option. A drum pad will be triggered when it’s linked pad triggers.
  • New: Support added for MIDI note names. (MIDI note will show the name of the drum pad.)
  • Improvement: Made changes to the Amplitude envelope drawing process to improve envelope visibility.
  • Improvement: Phase flipped samples are now drawn correctly. They were being drawn identically to non flipped samples.
  • Bug Fix: The Poise GUI was consuming excess CPU cycles when the browser was visible.
  • Bug Fix: MIDI learn menu wasn’t responding to mouse clicks.
  • Bug Fix: Poise wasn’t opening files correctly. In some situations this could lead to a crash. (Files were being opened with share mode set for exclusive use).
  • Bug Fix: The GUI was using excess CPU when covered by another window. (The Choke and Output numeric controls weren’t updated correctly).

While at heart Poise is just a sampler, it has been designed from the ground up with drums in mind. The workflow and options available have been tweaked to this end.
