Device Details

YUM!!!
1) Is there a bundled price? You know, for folks who want the factor synth, but have applications when a more lean device is the right tool? Or are both properly sandboxed, with sections or steps that can be deactivated, with easily closable panels?
2) the cross-synth, is there a morph dial or a cross fader between the master and the cued up syn section? That's kind of a greenie question, but I'm just wondering if a concept of two turntable decks could be analogous within the device itself, or am I routing instances of this to tracks, or multi routing one device?
3) is this a mouse and click affair? Or can I see much of the playability of this on a midi controller?

hey @braduro, thanks for your interest!

1) everything you can do with Factormini, you can do with Factorsynth aswell, and if you're using the same parameters (8 components max, no x-syn section), there will be almost no difference in CPU or memory consumption. There are no closable panels, but the main interface window is resizable, so you could hide the x-syn section if not used. In other words: there is really no reason to get Factormini if you already have Factorsynth.

2) there's no cross-fader control between master and x-syn, just individual volume controls for each section. That's actually a good idea, i'll put that on the TODO list for future versions :) As for the routing: each instance of Factorsynth sends a stereo output to its current track, there is (for now) no possibility of re-routing the individual sections or components.

3) You can definitely use midi controllers. The first 8x8 buttons on each matrix, aswell as most device parameters, are midi-mappable through Live. For a couple of controllers (Launchpad, Push..) the mapping to the matrix buttons should work automatically.
