Hi everybody,

i am very surprised that this old post is still active. Thanks for all your support.

@Homebelly: In case you still want to install Automat ... here is the direct download link.
But beware. This plug is au / carbon / 32bit / intel only and has a very crude installation script.

... It seems almost in the same boat as Automat at this point. Is it a great plugin, yes, does it work for the time being, yes. But It's dead quiet about Automat as if nobody cares or is not using it anymore, the plugin & website haven't been updated in years, and it is nearly impossible to contact ...

i've testet automat on osx 10.7.2 with live 8.2.2 and it seems to be ok.
you can contact me at stiwi@alphakanal.de.

hey Stiwi,

I'm wondering what the 2d barcode image up on your website is for? The 2nd image under automat shows an data-matrix or "aztec" code. What's it for? how can I read it? are you making presets that can be read with a barcode?

Anyone have a guess?

The barcode image contains a link ...

I'll stick to the beta till I'll read that kind of posts... :wink:

and I'm using more than 12 automats in my liveset, so if the non-beta eats lots of more cpu... my computer won't appreciate !!

and if the non-beta provides nothing significantly interesting, what's its interest?

cheers

1) is this release REALLY interesting in comparison to the beta?

2) will my beta synth patches sound the same (and do actually work) in this non beta?

best regards

1) Yes

2) Yes

I think he's buggered the install actually.

Looking through the package contents, the font file doesn't actually exist where the installer thinks it should. i.e. "Automat1.component/Contents/Resources/automat.ttf"

Yours might work because you already had the font installed...

About the font ...

Im sticking to the old version.

Hi, can you recreate this bug or did it occur just once?

Nice. Not much new compared to the beta, though. Mono mode is still only half-implemented.
But, nice nonetheless.

Yes. It's mostly bugfixes and code optimization. I think it's stable enough to not call it beta anymore.

I am still working on a proper mono mode. I hope i can upload an update with ...

Right now (v.1.0) the default one is the gray-ish one with the green markers and text.

I could post the original PSD file if you guys are interested in designing a better GUI.
I really would appreciate it.

Cheers,

Stiwi.

I'm loving your synth,, as i'm sure i have gushed before.
I think i might even have asked this before,,?
Is there any chance you could open up the OSC/LFO so that
we can add our own single cycle waves?
I'm a big fan of building noises using the Architecture waves in simpler/sampler
and ...

Hey Stiwi,
Great synth....using it for a long time. Evertime with update,s it,s also getting more stable so thats also nice. mayby i am lazy bur are there more presetsounds?

greetz, Jamm

No. But i think that users will start creating tons of presets and share them with others as soon as Automat ...

Sorry. There will be no windows version of Automat (ever). But there are trillions of great freeware synth out there 4 windows. So that shouldn't be a problem. This is no offense against pc's or the like but just personal taste. Thanks 4 asking though. I appreciate it.

Sorry about that. That shouldn't be necessary. I'll try to fix that soon.
