XL 1.44

Some handy additions, nice to see JJ is still working hard!

My MPC is still in its box as I recently moved house , so I can't check but - what is the new change to the input through option?

I live across the pond, so I just woke up and noticed 1.43 for the 1k.
When I get home from work, I'm looking forward to trying out all the new features.

2. [TRACK MUTE]
Pad mute mode addition

Mute/unmute of pads can be performed by hitting pads.
Refer to manual.

that is sick! ive wanted that for ages

edit : this too!!!

3. Pad to MIDI out CC addition
MIDI CC can be outputted by pressing pads.

Refer to manual.

It's the great resurrection of the JJ sequencer in the youtube video

nice. good additions!

I just dont understand the purpose of the input thru pitch shifting? is anybody actually using this to anything else than showing their friends?

To me its completely useless, and its the first thing i would vote for deletion, after the pong and splashscreen things..

Pong isn't in XL.

oh yes there it is:
MODE OTHER F6

... I assume updating is free from 1.43?

i just jizzed my pants

Great work again JJ, thanks.

I love MIDI CC feature (and Thank You JJ for that) however i think there should be option how these pads should act in this mode.
I mean... for example JJ could implement three modes KNOB, BUTTON and MOMENTARY BTN

KNOB will send MIDI CC with value you set (as knobs do) thats how it work now.
BUTTON will send value 127 and after you press it again it will send value 0 (toggle button on/off)
MOMENTARY BTN will send value 127 and then value 0 after that within one keypress (simulates momentary button)

Reason why I'm asking is because different vsti plugins accept different types of MIDI CC chains.

SCENARIO #1 (momentary):
my plugin gives me choice to switch between three filter modes (6db/12db/24db) i have to assign two pads to switch to next filter mode (chain cc#25-127, cc#25-0 switch from 6db to 12db, and again CC#25-127, cc#25-0 switch that filter from 12db to 24db) while it could be performed with one pad.

SCENARIO #2 (toggle):
To mute mixer in my DAW im sending CC with value 127 (pad A1)
but to unmute it I have to send cc with Value 0 (pad A2) while it could be performed with one pad.

what do you think guys

BTW
Sorry for my English but I hope there will be at least one person who understand this.

When using MULTI in the pad move event to other track function you have to manually assign the program in the new tracks. Pretty time consuming.

Yaaa, it's my first time ever posting, I'm a long time lurker, learned a lot, thanks to all who add on to the cipher.

Question: why is everyone referring to it as version 1.44 when it clearly says 1.43 ? what am I missing?

these new features are killer! i'm jealous of you 2xl guys now.

come on JJ! fix those q-links!!!


btw: i agree with this:

KNOB will send MIDI CC with value you set (as knobs do) thats how it work now.
BUTTON will send value 127 and after you press it again it will send value 0 (toggle button on/off)
MOMENTARY BTN will send value 127 and then value 0 after that within one keypress (simulates momentary button)

maybe better names for the modes would be STATIC, TOGGLE, and MOMENTARY or PUSH.



PS: DAMN! i just realized what that L-R mode is in the AUDIO IN screen. it subtracts the Left channel audio from the Right in realtime and allows you to sample like that as well i presume. sometimes this can make the source your sampling sound completely different and even can have the effect of removing vocals or certain instruments completely from a track. you can hear the effect in the youtube vid that JJ did as he switches from STEREO to L_R. really clever and potentially usefull feature!
