Yep I thought about the Max object which could have been introduced after 8.0.4... but that would mean that you used a different version when designing the LFO RATE knob (which was snapping with my old version of Max) vs CHORD knob?
Never mind, back to playing some music with this great sounding synth :)(and with the help of your editor!)

Well it seems that it was my Max version which was too old! Just updated from 8.0.4 to 8.2.2, and the CHORD knob is now snapping!

Thanks for your precious support Elbo :)

Cheers,
GilJ.

Hi Elbo,

Thanks to your description & video, I think that we now have a beginning of an explanation!
The CHORD knob doesn't behave the same way here (and yet I'm using v8 of the plugin!). However the LFO WAVE knobs do snap!

Let me give some more details concerning my setup, if ever that helps:
- Windows 10
- Ableton Live 10 Suite
- Max 8.0.4 (maybe it's my Max version? I'll try to update)

All the best,
GilJ.

Hi Elbo,

Sorry I made a reply a couple of weeks ago but forgot to click on the "Submit" button!

Let me try to explain it again this way:
1- Load preset A4 LEAD
2- Hold a note
3- On the plugin, move slowly the CHORD knob

You'll notice that the sound doesn't change when the value of the knob changes from 0 to 1, but a bit after the 1 for example.
Also, what I wanted to say is that this knob, could work just as the LFO WAVE knob where the knob directly jumps to the next value (i.e. you can't set the knob between TRI and SWD).

Please let me know if I was able to explain this a bit more :)

Cheers,
GilJ.

Hi Elbo,

Just wanted to let you know that I updated my Nymphes to 2.1 and indeed preset changes from the plugin works like a charm with all the dial being updated :)

I think I found a minor bug: when turning the CHORD knob on the plugin, the parameter does not change when the numbers (1-7) are being changed on the UI, but just a bit after (maybe you could make the knob behave like the WAVE knob of the LFOs where there are only a limited number of positions possible?)

Cheers,
GilJ.

Ohhh I love magic :) That's very cool (haven't updated to 2.1 yet ;))

Do you think that the "Sysex Dump Request" which has been added could be used someway in the plugin to backup presets from the Nymphes for example?

Thanks Elbo, glad you enjoyed my music with the Nymphes :)

By the way, a new firmware update is out:

V2.1 FIRMWARE UPDATE Fixes
- Sustain pedal message is now disconnected from CC enable.
- The Play modes bug on MPE is now fixed
- CC Out messages on the external Program Change were added to aid the use of CC editors.
- Sysex Dump Request added: F0 00 21 35 06 02 F7

Maybe the new "CC Out message on external Program Change" could help synchronize the knobs on the plugin with the Nymphes when changing presets from the plugin dropdown list? ;)

Meanwhile if you'd like to listen to some music I made with the Nymphes using the "Dreadbox Nymphes CC Controller", here are 2 videos I made:

(there's a special note for you in the description of the first video ;) )

Oh sorry to hear for your computer Elbo!
Don't worry there's no hurry ;)

Thanks again Elbo for your reply :)
I just noticed that when changing the LFO WAVEFORM from the Nymphes, the knob on the plugin react quite weirdly (it does the same thing with the WAVEFORM knobs of both LFOs). The changes seem to take place only in the first ~5% of the amplitude of the slider.

On the v2 improvements list there's written this (but don't think it works when Nymphes receives a program change):

2.2 CC transmit on Preset Load
Nymphes will transmit and update the new CCs values on preset LOAD if CC out is enabled. This way the user can use or create a CC editor that can receive CCs, get informed about the exact values of the current preset and even adjust them by sending CC back to Nymphes. The same
can be achieved through sysex, but the user will need to handle and decode the sysex messages with the Protobuf format.

Thanks again Elbo for sharing this plugin with us and keeping it up to date !

I don't know if that has been discussed before here, but when I change preset on the Nymphes and load it, the preset is being changed on the plugin reflecting the position of the knobs etc. However, when I change preset in the drop-down list on the plugin, it changes the preset on the Nymphes, but the knobs on the plugin won't move. Is that the expected behavior, please? (by the way there's a small typo on the V6 plugin where it shows "V5 by Elbo" ;) )

Wow that that was quick Elbo!!! Thanks a lot :)

(Indeed the global settings don't seem react to CC values... maybe to SYSEX but didn't find anything about this in the manual)

Hi Elbo,

I created an account mainly to say thanks and rate this device 5* !!! :)

I take advantage of this opportunity to ask a couple of questions:
- The VOL knob of the plugin reacts to CC 7 and the MW knob to modulation messages. However the AT knob doesn't seem to react to aftertouch messages
- Is there a possibility to add the Global Settings parameters in the plugin in a future update (for ex. to change the pitch bend range, sliders mode Jump/Catch/Scaled etc.)?

Thanks again for making this plugin!!! :)

Cheers,
GilJ.
