P3 beta

P3 beta

2006-01-23 by colinfraser_com

Folks,

Another slight update in Yahoo files...
One bug fix Paul picked up, though it's a pretty obscure one related 
to changing MIDI channels with events during a tied note.

Plus this build adds the 'rvtz' (reverse to zero) accumulator 
behaviour, and renames 'rvrs' (reverse) to 'rvbp' (reverse bi-polar), 
as discussed a few days ago.

'rvtz' allows values in the range 0 to <accumulator limit>.
'rvbp' allows values in the range +/- <accumulator limit>.
Both modes reverse the 'rel' direction as the value reaches the limits.

Best regards,

Re: P3 beta - beta and beta

Hi

I've uploaded a beta of P3Tools to go with Colin's beta 3.1.006b39.

If you use the pattern config editor you will see that it knows 
about 'Reverse To Zero' and 'Reverse Bi-polar' Accumulator Limit 
Behaviour.

I managed to introduce a embarrassing gaff in 1.07. The Accumulator 
Result Behaviour field got totally messed up. Its now back to how it 
should be, so sorry if that caused any confusion.

Finally it converts the old format for "aux note abs" events into the 
latest format used by the latest firmware.
If you have a patterns to convert then perform the following.
- Make sure that the patterns you wish to convert have been saved as 
an SP3 or SYX file.
- Use P3Tools to load "All" your P3 into the top virtual P3. P3Tools 
will now know if your firmware understands the old or new format.
- Load the SP3 or SYX file into the top virtual P3.
- Right click on the top virtual P3 and use the "Edit->Convert Aux" 
menu item. If the "Edit->Convert Aux" menu item is disabled then your 
firmware understands the old format and the there is no need to 
convert.
- After conversion, you can save into a file again or transmit to 
your P3.


If you are replacing your existing P3Tools with this beta, then 
replace all the p3tools files on your PC apart from drumkits.txt and 
p3tools.exe.config with the files from beta zip file

This beta should be replaced by the next version fairly soon. I am 
just doing a little something for Colin before I upload it.

Gratuitous Self-Promotion

Apologies for this; some P3 content though...

Announcing the Joint Intelligence Committee's new release "In Session", 
available now. This release was pruned from a live performance of over 7 
hours at the Renaissance Rooms, London last October. The three band 
members all used P3s (I had two, of course), each in their different 
ways, so there is some standard sequencing, gratuitous bass squelches, 
looping MIDI guitar and triggering of percussion all producing our 
mellow, chilled grooves.

Anyway, enough attempting to sound like a salesman; check out 
www.JointIntelligenceCommittee.com - I think there are a couple of 
tracks to listen to from our pre-gig sessions - and treat yourself if 
you feel inclined.

Forgive me... but I have a hallway full of boxes and really should move 
some of them.. :)

framerate

2006-01-26 by Richard Scott

recording using a PC sequencer and the P3 as slave what frame rate should I
use?

I think my MPC 4k uses 25 non drop,  but then i have no friggin idea what
difference it makes or what a framerate even is :)

OT: midi splitter?

2006-01-26 by Richard Scott

Anyone know of a good windows app which will split a midi sequence file
output from my P3 into separate channels/tracks?

I am amazed that none of my current gear seems to do this!

Framerate is used to select between the different SMTP time formats 
(hh:mm:ss:ff - where ff is the current frame). Those are only relevant 
if you record soundtracks to films (there it means how many images per 
second - so that would be 24 for film, 25 for PAL, and 29.97 for NTSC TV).

In your case: Forget about it.

It isn't relevant to the P3 as framerate is related to time-specific 
devices such as, for example, the Roland VS-series of hard disk 
recorders that can run as MIDI Time Code slaves. All you need is clock, 
as I think a few would-be liberal democrat leaders were saying only 
recently.
