just wanted to let you know about the vsti presets I started to convert into instrument racks these days for a few instruments. Maybe they might be of use to some people.
By now the following instruments are covered (2014/10/20):
- Air Hybrid3
- op-x pro2
- pianoteq stage 5
- X-fer Serum
- sylenth 1
- tal bassline 101
- tal uno-lx
- z3ta+
- tyrellN6 v3
...and the following audio-fx-racks:
- blockfish
- camel crusher
- gloop
- luftikus eq
- molot
- reaeq
- reverberate le gpu
- sonitusfx
- tnt
- variety of sound
Further information:
By now (october 2014) ableton push has some drawbacks regarding the use of 3rd party vst instruments. To make presets show up in push one must do something like this
- insert the vsti in an instrument rack (strg+g aka cmd+g)
- select a preset
- save as an instrument rack for each preset
so imagine the following: you have a vsti like op-x pro-2 with say approximately 1500 presets....
for software's sake there are macro writing tools that can be used to automate the task, and so here are my first attempts in vsti preset banks for ableton push.
about the instrument racks, what has been done to each preset in the same way for all vst's:
? assigned the majority of parameters to the encoders in push. those will show up in banks of 8 parameters, as push has 8 parameter knobs.
the first bank usually is setup with filter settings for encoders 1-4 and VCA envelope for encoders 5-8,
the following banks differ but usually i tried to keep things straight forward, like putting envelopes to the second half of the encoders
? i kept the naming scheme of the original presets, but in some cases i used additional folders for categories.
? all banks are written in capitals, presets are not. this was done to make things a bit more obvious when using the push display for browsing
usually i didn't assign macros, there are some strange things happening sometimes. so go directly to the banks when you want to access the parameters.
? I attached an eq3 effect plugin behind the vsti in some cases.
to leave it as an option it has been muted, so this behaviour is intended.
You can read "eq" or "no eq" in the names of the rar-files, so choose what suits you best.
If names do not have anything written about eq they are with eq
Feel free to use the presets as you like free of charge. But keep in mind, take them as they are, maybe they are not perfect
.In case, let me know, i´ll try to fix asap.
If you like, you can donate and support the development of new presets and update of existing ones.
Thank you.
