Never thought of this! I’m calling this suggestion top five.

i did separate FR for this a while ago, but ill mention it also here.
my biggest FR for GA it to able mix/create user drum set from all available acoustic agent libraries .
so no boundaries
for example Kick from library A, and maybe another kick from Library B, 2 snares from different libraries ,toms from LIB C, HiHat from LIB D etc… basically like any modern Drum VST

A nice feature I’ve come across in other drum VSTs is a “tightness” knob.

I use the patterns quite a bit, and while they are very flexible, being able to make a pattern ‘looser’ really helps make things sound more human.

I’d also like a lot more patterns and a better way to find them rather than just style name and some random name.

Quality.

FLAC compatibility

See Native Instruments 60’s Drummer for a nice way of handling this.

Hey. I created a logical editor preset that humanizes midi. The preset adjusts the range of velocity. It also slightly fluctuates the midi note position, length.

I might be able to export the preset. That might help you with the humanization issue. If you want it let me know.

Cheers.

May I ask how you were able to accomplish this? Like how does it work? Does it stick when you change kits?

It is a logical editor function with Cubase.
When you insert the midi on to the arranger then you will select the midi notes and apply the preset.
This is not a “midi modifier” effect. You will be able to visually see the changes to the velocity, note position and note length of all midi selected.
You can use the “UNDO” button to revert the changes.

You can also create a Button Macro to automate the process too…
You gotta love Cubase… all the bases go covered.

cool!

What does it use for “humanize”? There was a thread here about getting the old groove quantize presets from the old Cubase 3.5 days into the modern one.

From what I understand. You set a range for each parameter. Then When you apply the preset it randomly selects a value for each parameter of every midi note.

The Midi modifiers tab in the track inspect will randomize values every time the press the “PLAY” button. The logical editor will print the values directly on your piano roll.

Been doing this for yonks, and not just on drums. Just “randomize” a parameter (on selected notes/event) such as Velocity or Start Position by a percentage.
In the image, the dropdown menu allows you to specify WHAT is going to be transformed, the other two parameters are + and minus values.


And again, why is a WISHLIST topic marked as SOLVED? Has GA 6 been released and I don’t know about it?

Yes. It’s great. I used to use the midi modifiers tab in the inspector… But it never did the same thing twice… you would have to print to audio to maintain the same modifications…

Googly has skills!

Cubase, nah. I’m updated, but yikes. Coming back from Logic X is not an easy thing to do.

I think I’ve seen this function in the Environment (Logic’s old crusty code). Very interesting.

I think if I could piggy back on this I would like to also see some kind of “slop” for each pad. Where it triggers at a defined, but loose feel. Swing at the pad level.

Maybe they marked it “solved” because something is about to drop?
