Does someone know if I can (and if yes, how to) setup Halion for a Roli seaboard? It would be so great to use my brand new 5D-controler with my favourite sampler

I'm ally sorry for the delay, as I never received a notification of your post!marmess wrote:Can you tell me how this Lua script is called?
Or if it's a personal script, would you mind sharing it?
I am now demoing Halion and trying to figure how can I make it works with MPE or in voice per channel mode.
Thanks for this. My demo expired so I can't try it right now. I did ask for another 30 days demo.lulu m wrote: The script is a custom one, so create a new script module in your patch and put this in:
function onLoad()
prog=this.program
--Load it into the slots
for t=2, 16 do
this.parent.instance:getSlot(t):setProgram(prog)
end
This will load the selected program into your slots for MPE

Only if you change something in the code, otherwise all modifications will express immediately.
Ok, interesting, I didn't what bitwig was doing with "force mpe". It's pretty clear when I use contact.What do you mean it doesn't work with bitwig? When you hit force mpe mode on a plugin in bitwig it rotates the midi channels of the clips starting with channel 2. So effectively it splits the notes per channel (for overlapping notes anyways). The bitwig method doesn't store the midi channel that was originally played with each note but rotates the channels based on how many notes overlap, which has its own issues but works mostly.
I just assign CC74 and that's it.I did demo it for a while and Halion did pitch each note separately even without forcing mpe, which was cool, but aftertouch didn't work and I didn't figure out how to modulate with cc74. After my demo expired I realized that Halion aftertouch is channel aftertouch and I must have had the instruments in channel 1 (if that's the default?). Can you tell me how you use cc74 as a modulator though?
Yes, ask support, it took me 2-3 days to have an answer and my demo but I was able to try it before buying it. Explaining why you need to try it again, they will help you with this.I will ask for another demo period but I had a frustrating experience trying to contact support and eventually gave up before. Also I am going to need to switch computers soon and might be a month or more without a computer at all due to traveling. So I might not demo again for a while.
So I took your advice and tried contacting support to ask for another demo period. They replied saying that it was impossible to give more demo time. I said that is weird because I've been told by others that they've received another demo, so why couldn't I? They never answered me after that. So then I brought it up with Mattias in a thread on KVR. He said the same thing. Impossible to get more than 30 days demo. I said I just need to check a few things and can't purchase until I've confirmed some things. But no response. I even posted a thread about it in the presales forum here. No response to that either. Nobody will answer why they have granted a second demo to some people and not others.
It's truth that they cannot give you more time but for me, they manage to give another code and it gave me a 25 hours demo (it 25 hours of usage). I think it unlock all steinberg product but I am not sure, I haven't try other products.echoes in the attic wrote: ↑Sat Jul 29, 2017 2:51 pmSo I took your advice and tried contacting support to ask for another demo period.

Lua script is on a program level so, as far of I know, can't be put in a higher level.echoes in the attic wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2017 11:45 amThanks for that quote and email address. Perhaps they will give me a different answer.
Another question I have. Is it possible to load the lua script at a level above the program (can't remember what it's called, combi maybe) and be able to change presets while still have the lua script active? And if so, when you change an entire program, do the copies change as well? OR do you have to delete them all and put the script there again. Can you change combis with the lua script active and does it copy the combis?
Really wish I could try all this myself.
thanks
Well, I KNOW it works, as I'm working with Halion/Halion Sonic+SE/Padshop/Retrologue in combination with the Roli Seaboard for some time now.echoes in the attic wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2017 7:03 amThanks for the answer above. I'm still uncertain though whether you can change presets/programs and keep the lua script loaded. When you load a new program does it wipe out the script and therefor you have to paste it again n every time for a new presets? I thought someone said you could change a program and it would do the same for all 15 copies. Or maybe that was just for waveforms and samples.
Sorry for all the questions. I sent a request for the additional 25 hours demo time to the address given above and they flat out said no they can't do that. So I guess they just were having friendly day when you asked. It's really annoying to have to ask so many questions and not just be able to try it myself.
Sorry I couldn't follow any of this. I don't use cubase though, I use Bitwig. So none of those track settings are there. There's no note expression in bitwig, only the mpe expression. So no transforming anything.lulu m wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2017 8:56 amWell, I KNOW it works, as I'm working with Halion/Halion Sonic+SE/Padshop/Retrologue in combination with the Roli Seaboard for some time now.echoes in the attic wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2017 7:03 amThanks for the answer above.

If using the lua script with Halion, and you have 16 instances of the program, you only click on the 'reload' button in the interface and it is immediately active for all the loaded instances!! The modified script will of course also be loaded automatically with other programs that use the same script, as it is stored on your disk.
The 16 instances of your program, you ONLY need if you're using Halion (or Sonic or SE) as a Standalone instrument in combination with the Roli. When using it inside Cubase (or other DAW that uses note expression) You better use only 1 instance of the program, but need to set the midi or instrument track to transform the incoming midi controller data to note expression data, and check the rotate midi channels button! This way you can use MPE instruments like the Roli or Lins etc.. with all VST3 instruments that support note expression! (although not always all dimensions, like the 'lift' modifier [note off] is not presented as a modifier in retrologue or padshop?!?)
As I said before, I'm actually thinking of doing a video on all the tips and tricks I discovered so far in using the Seaboard with Halion and Cubase in general.
Stay tuned.....![]()
