Help and Questions / Re: how to do irregular time s...

Last post by Alice (Midori) - October 14, 2024, 07:30:36

First of all, you can write in any time signature regardless of the visual settings of the grid. I'm assuming you want a clear visual cue in the form of pattern reflecting the time signature though, which is also perfectly possible. I'm assuming you want one measure to consist of 5 beats, each lasting a quarter note.

Lets assume a quarter note will take 8 rows in your module for now. All you have to do is set the "rows per beat" to 8 and "rows per measure" to 40 (8 rows per beat x 5 beats per measure). Last thing you might want to do is to adjust the pattern length to a multiple of 40 for desired amount of measures contained within one pattern.

If you're using the modern MPTM module format you can adjust all these settings separately for each individual pattern, thus achieving mixed time-signature songs. Hope this helps.

Maybe its not the same, but you can create multiple instruments, and assign it to the same VSTi, but give each instrument a different midi channel.

A late-90s Trance track with some Eurodance influence. This was released into the streaming music compo at Deadline 2024, where it ranked 3rd.

No, OpenMPT never automatically scanned for plugins on startup. It would verify that plugins are still present, which might take a while and thus show a dialog if a lot of plugins are registered. But new plugins are only added when you explicitly add them in the plugin selection dialog. The VST plugin path specified in the setup dialog is used as the default path for this, but this path is never scanned automatically for plugins.

Has the behavior changed for scanning plug-ins ?  I remember being able to add a path, then new plugins were scanned for on restart.  It seems like the path settings are not getting saved properly either.   

Unless I am forgetting about a setting.....

I would suggest as a first step to try to load the same plugins into a host again where you are confident they should work. I was unable to get them to work either when I simply downloaded the older versions and I think that might be because I did not actually have a license associated with those plugins, so they simply failed to load.
If that works, you could try going back to older test versions at https://builds.openmpt.org/builds/ and check if you can find the latest version that still loads them.

I have downloaded the latest development build -r21781 TEST amd64, and I have been unable to get the Waves Instruments to show up.

I am not certain if there is something I did not scan, or if they now do not load properly.  The last time I got them to load was with an older version that was around when I posted that all was working properly except the 'speaker' icon was showing instead of the 'synth' icon showing.

Any suggestions ?

I have scanned all the Waves plugins Version folders, and they cannot be found.

I have scanned all the folders with the .bundle files and they are not there.

Is there something else I am not scanning correctly ?
