Big Fat NM1 Pad

davep · Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2005 5:47 pm Post subject: Big Fat NM1 Pad

Hi All,

Here's a patch that combines elements of a few of my recent NM1 patches to make a nice fat versatile pad patch.

It uses three pulse oscs, with a set of mixers and panners to achieve a variable stereo effect, then a set of stereo 12dB + 24 dB filters with variable parallel/serial routing control, which I adapted from a "Shermanish" external processor patch. I really like this filter arrangement.

Also has two LFOs, with a switch to invert LFO "A" to the filters on one side for a stereo panning effect, and a switch to select LFO "A" or LFO "B" for the 12 dB filters.

I assigned some useful parameters to the front panel, but ran out of knobs for some of the functions so you'll need the editor to change some settings. My favorite knobs are #1 (filter fc offset) & 18 (par/ser routing).

Three 'variations' attached. Enjoy!

[Note Blue Hell : I've repaired the patches, hope they work now]

Dave:

My modular editor is not recognizing these files as Modular files. It does fine with some of your other files. (e.g. Syncplus) Is there a download trick? Thx,

Jerry

what about making a zip archive or somethig like that? Shocked

The files are indeed double spaced again. This has something to to do with the differences in how various OSes treat text files. Also the files have a mix of two different newline encodings, partial DOS partial Linux.

The problem seems to be at Dave's sending computer, but things to check are :

At the server side PCH files should be marked as having mime type application/nord-modular-patch or something (probably any application sub-type will do, the purpose is to make the files known to be binary).

The person sending the patches can also make such an entry on her/his computer - the easiest way to do so is to install the NM editor on the sending PC.

On my website I've got a little program called UN (for PC only) it will fix patches like the ones present here. Ico Doornekamp used to have an online patch repair utitlity running on his zevv site, but I can't find that one anymore.

It is true that zipping up the files will solve the problem (as all system agree on treating zip files as binary files) but the nice thing of not zipping 'm up is that the files will be opened in the editor directly.

I fixed the patches and will now try to edit Dave's post to have working patches.

Hi Jan,

I changed a setting on my PC. Let's see if this allows my NM1 patches to get to the Forum OK. I do have the NM1 Editor on this PC, and when I right click on a patch file it does identify it as a PCH file, but I noticed that it also said "Opens with: UNKOWN APPLICATION". So I changed it to 'Nord Modular 3.xx'. The patches have always opened properly on this PC, but I wonder if this setting was causing the problem when sending to the forum.

So here's another 'variation' of the big pulse pad I sent the other day. Same structure, just different knob settings. I love this serial/parallel filter effect. Enjoy!

Could very well be that changing such a setting helps.

Unfortunately I get a refused connection message when I try to open the patch, but that's (probably) a known and worked on problem with the attachment server - testing will have to wait a bit.

I'll try to remeber to have a look tomorrow.

It looks good now int the text editor all CRLF no double spacing, it should work.

Last night (early AM in Europe) we had a server failure. That's possibly why the file wasn't accessable. Now things on the file server are working better it seems, thanks to Elektro80. Now we seem to have a little be of trouble with thte main server.

I see that things are up and running again, but it looks like there is a new problem with NM1 patches. When I try to download, I get the message:

"Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied".

It's not just my NM1 patches, I got the same message with other MN1 patches I just tried to download from this subforum. And this happens on two different computers, one at home & one at the office.

I checked some G2 patches in the other subforum, and they work OK.

Hmmm... That's a wacky message. I'll look into it.

--- 5 minutes pass - tic tic tic ---

I have no problem downloading or uploading .pch files. Does anyone else see this problem?

Nope, all's perfect ovehere ....

.... an update - when I click on "download" and then select "OPEN" I get the error message, but if I select "SAVE TO" instead of "OPEN" and then open the file AFTER downloading & saving it, all is OK.

It's odd, but not a real problem IMO.
