The next piece with The Pool.
More like a commentary on a dialogue from Kelly Reichardt's film, Old Joy, 2006.

Discussions / My first piece with The Pool

I've had the Pool for a good six months now, and here's my first piece of music using the Pool as source material.
All basic sounds, The Pool, played in MPE4 mode with the Osmose keyboard. Sub-Out goes into the modular system and directly into Magneto (TapeDelay/Looper), multi-track recordings, cuts, speed manipulations, layering, post-production. Recorded with Metric Halo, room: Quantec YardStick. Frequently used: the digital copy of the analog OSC running through a formant filter. In addition, filtered noise, high FM or ADD sounds, lots of LFO modulations whose speed is played polyphonically via keystrokes. The piece works with many repetitions or heavily manipulated sounds.

Thanks for the 1.60 update Laurent!
I find the multiplication of the envelopes and the visualization very useful!!!
MPE is also more stable now!

Pool/Osmose:
I bought the Pool together with the Osmose to be able to play an expressive digital/analog synth. Although the Osmose still seems to have a few teething problems, I think the combination of both devices has been pretty good so far.

Until now, I connected the Osmose to the Pool via USB.
Now that the MPE functions have been optimized, I've switched to the classic Midi Din connection. It works!
Advantage: now I can connect the Osmose in parallel with the DAW via USB and record midi notes, for example. (this was not possible before because the USB port on the Osmose was blocked and the keyboard was not recognized in the DAW via a USB Hup).

Pedals:
I use 2 Moog EP3 pedals connected to the Osmose as Sustain cc64 and Expression cc11. The expression pedal controls Morph2 on the Pool. Works fine.
Unfortunately, you can't connect two expression pedals with different channels to the Osmose. (The midi data seem to cross each other)
Because I prefer to use a second expression pedal instead of or in addition to the sustain, I connected an additional Lehle Dual Expression Pedal directly to the Pool via the USB port that had become available. It immediately recognized the pedal as an expression pedal and Morph2 can be controlled, but I can't change the channels to control Morph1, for example.
Question:
If I now select cc9 on the Osmose, as in the update info, to use two expression pedals, Morph1 does not react! Is there something wrong with the channels, or is it generally not possible?

Great, I'm really looking forward to the update!
Thank you very much!

The update worked, but the Scala folder doesn't seem to be fully Mac compatible:
After update: All Cards, etc are on versions 1.5
When I press KEYB: just a blank screen

-The update did not copy the Scala folder to the SD card.
-I then copied it manually.The Scala folder is shown on the SD card, with the scl. data inside.
Autotune and Cards syc repeated.
Manual fine tuning of the keys works, but the Scala files are not displayed.... 8)

Firmwares updates, manuals / Re: Version 1.32

Thanks for the update!!!
I have the impression that now the format filter has much more power.



To the update:
On the Mac, the TyComander looks a little different and I would guess because I made a mistake on the first try and I mixed up the firmware versions.
In Mode / Serial / then click on Option / now you can see the version of the firmware you want to update.
The updater started on my Mac with version 132, but when updating the Pool_Voices, it loaded the previous version, which I had to replace with the current version.
I only noticed this when, shortly before the end of the update process, the window appeared in which you can read the respective firmware versions.

Perhaps it would also be useful to be able to read the respective versions in the system settings to see which version you have installed.
