Re: NEW Sound Tower Editor Version 3.0

2005-10-19 by drtrippler

Ouch, very serious issues that make the program completely useless ;)

I suppose he simply forgot point 4 (the editor for the Poly Evolver 
has the LFO sync functionality since the last version), so write to 
soundtower and he'll most likely correct that.

In terms of point 3: I rechon that the library banks have library 
functionality, means you can load saved banks to various slots and 
combine them to a new bank. I used this function a lot, very worthy.

btw, as soon as it comes to the Soundtower editor theme in this list, 
I find that the prevailing tone is a little, let me say, irritating.
Why not critisize in a constructive way ?

On my system the editor runs perfectly, there are no issues that 
prevent working with it, just a few flaws that you can learn to deal 
with.

I have programmed tons of sounds with it, without the editors library 
functions I would have been lost when I sorted factory banks and 
combos.

All in all it works better and is more concise than the Sounddiver 
version that I tested.

Though the look and appearance of the program aren't ultra modern, I 
like that it displays each parameter on one screen. I have every 
parameter at hand without switching betweeen pages. That's why I 
doubt that I'll switch to the Psicraft editor. And I plan to program 
a bunch of new sounds BEFORE the release of the Psycraft editor ;)

I already wrote to soundtower that the new trigger modes are missing 
in the Poly version. I am rather sure they will correct that.

Some days ago I wrote that I'd like to buy a 2nd version of the 
editor for simultaneous editing of PER and PEK if it were possible to 
open multiple instances at a time.
The answer was that I should simply copy the program folder to a new 
folder and would then have the desired effect without buying another 
copy. 

Finally, it seems that while nearly each member on this list didn't 
receive what he payed for (and emphasises this fact in each posting), 
I am the one who payed once and received twice the value ;)

Regards
Stefan
