Version 2.1: Virtual Mappings and feature switches
Below are notes on the new Virtual Mapping version of the 2023 physical loopback ASDR patch
This version uses virtual mappings throughout which (as well as freeing up two ports) brings some extra advantages mentioned below
It keeps all the previous features, such as:
Being able to control ADR times and Sustain Level
and envelopes that behave predictably when..
.. either released at different points in the timing…
… or interrupted by new notes:
In addition, existing features such as “curve style” and “scaling-by-velocity” have been made more accessible by adding virtual mapping switching.
This means 3 keys (default: note#124=Attack, 125=Decay, 126=Release) can each be pressed to cycle through the curve styles..
..while the ADSR amplitude can be left at 0-127 or scaled by the note velocity…
…by toggling another key (default: note#127)
Note
The switching additions are quite expensive (21/77 pipes in total) but the live functionality may be worth it.
If pipes need to be saved, this line can just be removed or replaced with a multiple -stage mappings controlled by a 3 knobs)
In the next entry, I’ll discuss aspects of the virtual mapping set-up which I hope make it easier for users to adapt to their own controllers
