Viramor

Greetings!

I couldn't find the Viramor Electronics support email address and did not want to join the Viramor Electronics forum since I don't own a M-Audio keyboard.

I have a suggestion regarding the excellent repair kit step-by-step installation instructions posted here:  https://electronics.viramor.com/m-audioaxiomv2pbmod/

Either in the "things you'll need" list or under the "Disassembly" you can suggest using a 6 or 12 position egg crate container.  The open top and bottom egg crate indentions make great places to keep screws or other hardware.  By placing the hardware in the indentions in the order they are removed from the body you just have to install them in reverse order during assembly.

Another option is to use a piece or cardboard and use the hardware to punch holes in the cardboard.  Install the hardware in the cardboard in order during assembly then reverse the order during assembly.

Either option can be used to keep track of hardware during disassembly and make sure hardware is installed in the same position it was removed from.

Reboot and it showed up in the right place!
Sorry to waste your time. I can't wait to try it.

Thanks again,
Max

Did it appear correctly in the plug-in list the first time you installed it? In other words, did the problem occur after the second time you ran Install.bat?
If you click on the plug-in name (CSWaver) in the Plugin Manager, is the path shown at the bottom (in the Filename box) the correct path to the plug-in?
If the path is correct, then the entry exists in the Windows Registry and Cakewalk recognizes it. If it's not showing up in the menu when you try to add a MidiFX, maybe there's an issue with the Plugin Menu Layout you're using.

Let me know...

Hi Francois...
It's been "almost finished" for quite a while but getting it to work consistently is problematic. The main issue is the fact that it only gets small buffers (about 2 beats) when Cakewalk is playing the song.
Generating the waveforms based on an arbitrary point in time wasn't too difficult to solve, but maintaining the state of the modifier CCs, and therefore the characteristics of the waveform, when I'm only receiving small, arbitrary chunks of Midi data just doesn't seem possible.
It does work correctly when used in Offline Mode (Process/Apply Effect/MIDI Effects) because Cakewalk supplies all the Midi data for the track at once, but another problem appears if there are multiple layered clips in the track. 
I've also found that the amount of Midi data being sent can overwhelm a piece of outboard Midi equipment if the playback tempo is raised too high, so I need to add some reasonably intelligent code to regulate how much data is being generated based on the current tempo.

I may finish up a few details and release it with a big asterisk saying there are some situations where it may not work as expected, or I may re-write it as a VST-Midi plugin. Just need to get back to it 

Just realised that the graphics in CSMultiCompander are random velocities. Makes a huge difference.
